I really didn't want to start another 'I'm threating about the GCSE's' topic yet I just feel I had to post this as I am annoyed with the whole thing.

Now I know the importance of getting decent grades in my exams, the chance of me not needing them is pretty slim but there is a chance. But most likely I WILL need them and since the third exam which I took next week I just don't feel like doing well anymore. And I have my most important ones this week and after half term.

The first two exams were easy, no problem. R.E saw me using many more sheets of paper as I had many opinions and German listening was just crossing boxes which seemed no trouble at all. During that German exam I knew I had my Drama exam right after and a quick dash to the hall down the corridor would see me on stage and performing for what I think is 60% or 80% of my final grade. If any of you know that please feel free to fill me in.

So I go to Drama after in quite a good mood due to the German exam going well, coursework for Drama being probably the best in the year and my Drama teacher telling me how if I get the Shakesphere right I should get my A.

Meet the examiner and all goes fine then it's onto stage...

First problem : I don't say the plays title loud enough.

Second problem : I go to put a plastic nose on and the string breaks.

Third problem : I go to shake a money bag and the money falls out all over the stage.

Fourth problem : Some of my staging got a bit muddled up at times

Fifth problem : I had a really crappy part in our devised part of the play, I should have been and could have been the part I wanted to play which was more a main role.

So overall it went crap. REALLY REALLY crap. The whole play itself was pretty poo and we were one of the most able groups there.

My Shakesphere bit went fine though everything else just feel to pieces for me. It didn't show my potential at all and it didn't show many others in that group either.

After some in the group were quite happy and saying well done with me and others and stuff and I was just like "Yeah...well done" walking around gathering my stuff miserabally. I walked by where my Drama teacher was sitting and she called me name, so I looked up and she put her thumbs up at me. To reassure me? I'm not quite sure but if it wasn't I don't know what she was doing a thumbs up for.

So the one exam I could had got a good grade in all goes wrong and puts me down for the rest of the exams. Now I just don't feel like I want to do well when I do at the same time. It's weird, I just can't get the Drama out of my head but I know I need to.

I am doing it for A-Level, I wonder if that would count over the GCSE say if I wanted a job or something?

Glad thats out, it's bugging.

That just makes the whole GCSE's feel like a waste of time and effort now, heh thanks.

But I'll just do what I can to my ability in the GCSE's, see where it takes me.

No-one ever looks at your GCSE's if you have A-Levels. Even if you have straight A's for your GCSE's, and E's for your A-Levels, they're still more important, somehow.

Of course, just another little thing you're not supposed to know about until you're older.
