Exams. And why i cant cope in them.
From the title, you probably thought that i would be talking about how stressful exams are for me, so if you thought that, you are wrong. Its actually the quite opposite. You see, the problems i have with exams are completely different. Experiences and bad things about exams for me!

1.▄▄▄ Uncontrollable Laughter..▄▄▄
Im not too sure about you guys, but whenever i am in Dead Silence, i crack up laughing, and its at anything at all. Ill think back to funny memories from my life and ill laugh uncontrollably at them! SOmetimes ill make funny plots with my friends on how to cheat in Exams, and joke about them. Ill explain.
Im sure most of you guys heard about that guy that won 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'? But he cheated, by coughing out the answers. So the deal is that me and one of my friends said that they would cough, and told me to cough back to her. And i did, and i couldnt stop laughing.
I know, its immature and stupid, but its hilarious! Other things like clicking watches and music lessons going on, i just keep laughing!

2. ♥♥Writting the wrong things down♥♥.
With this topic, i will mention how i screwed up with my Visual Communications exams a little bit. Ok, the deal is, i was given a company name called "Roaming and Rolling", and apparently it was a 'Travel Agency'. We were meant to design a logo for the company.
Me being a complete idiot didnt read the 'travel agency' part, so i just thought it was just for any company and we could just make it up! So there i was, thinking of things to do, and the idea of an aquarium came to my mind. A place where you could sell goldfish and other fish, and the place was called 'Roaming and Rolling". I was so blasted away with it! I thought it was a great idea! I was thinking in my head "OMG Isabel! Your such a genious!".
So after i drew those 5 year old goldfish onto all the things we were meant to, and then wrote a little bit about it, i finished my exam and we were allowed to talk to each other when we all handed our exams up. My friends asked me what i drew, so i told them i drew fish. And then they cracked up laughing. I didnt get it, so then i asked what they drew, one said palm trees, another said an aeroplane, and another said a picture of the globe. I was all "umm, ok".
Then i started telling them about the company i decided to make mine about... and they were all "WTF Isabel, its a travel agency". By that time i was cracking myself laughing. So i had lost about 10-15 marks, oh well, maybe my teacher will give me credit for creativity???
God i hope so!

♪♫♪♪3. My Music Exam♪♫♫♪♫ .
I was completely confused. Apparently we were meant to list some songs from the movie "The Sound Of Music". One of the quesitons were "What song describes a characted in 'The Sound Of Music?". I was completely confused, cause we had only seen half of it, and not all of it. I couldn think of any song from there, so i just wrote "Jesus of Suburbia and St Jimmy" and i hope that my music teacher thinks that theyre apart of it.
Id laugh if they were correct!

Well thats about it. I did get my maths cheat sheets taken off me because they were photocopied, but that is because i left mine at home! TeeHee, but thats ok, because they were taken off me near the end of the exam! Phew.
Anyways, this Blog didnt really have a contention to it, but i would just like to know about you guys, do you have anything aabout exams that you would like to share, or that you think are funny? Tell me!

I tend to concentrate really well when i listen to music.
It's weird for me, really i don't revise unless i really struggle in that class.

Uggh I know what you mean. Dead silence just encourages me to laugh...especially when I think of some not so funny event which then becomes hilarious.
I just finished my exams, and I don't think I prepared well enough for some of them - I really don't want to get the results back.

how do you do the musical notes?
Sarah!, June 10th, 2007 at 08:53:35pm
i tend to finish really quickly, being a smartass (dont even revise, gets As and Bs, dont you just HATE ME?????) and then im so bored i draw on the exam table, the question sheet if we have one and the card with my name on, ive made noise with my chair and table, pulled faces across the exam hall, attempted fart noises with my shoe, thrown a pen back and forth with some other smartass
oh and i tend to fall asleep! hahahahahahahaha...
yeah there was a bee an it landed on the table in front of me (empty in that exam) and i thought, oh a bee is doing the history mocks! then i thought, CHAD IS A BUMBLYBEEE!!! coz he normally sits there but dont do history and i was giggling for sooo long and nearly had my paper zeroed for the noise...

I hate exams. I get test anxiety, and panic. I can't help it. I tell myself to breathe and relax but even sometimes that never works. D'':

In my exams this year we all had to go in the gym and sit in rows at those stupid desks only one of the legs was shorter than all the rest so every time I lent on the table is kept banging down on the floor really loudly and rocking up and down. In my maths exam I go so distracted by reading the graffiti on the desk that I wasted about 10 mins of the 30 min exam. Yeah and I always get music stuck in my head too.
Revol, June 10th, 2007 at 05:07:19pm
lol me and exam dont mix at all xD
I agree with you with the bursting into uncontrollable laughter
right now im sittting my GCSES which are national board exams and will determine not only which college I go to, but also which University I get accepted into.
Un fortunatly, since childhood I have been brought up with music surrounding me, so basically whereever I am, some form of music is running through my head, and Im always getting new ideas for lyrics and guitar riffs to write for my band, which is ok, but alot of the time my insipartion comes either when Im meant to be focused on something else, ie an exam, or else, dont laugh here...when im on the loo O_O
but yeah in the past in lower years, me and my friends have been known to do the chicken dance during a history exam, fall asleep during a maths exam, randomly start writing about magic mushrooms and rugs, in the middle of a geography coastal exam and other such things
the worst is in my mocks, we were relocated to another room for my exam, and half-way through my English paper, I stopped and just stared out the window trying to figure out which bit of the school I was in xD
oh and dont get me started on the tiny exam desks, that are so low that everytime you cross your legs, the bloody desk moves an inch of the ground

Cheating is a really bad, risky idea, man. I wouldn't do it again.
Plus there are loads of people who study hard and only get the same grades as someone who cheated. That's just not fair.
As for my exam experiences... hmm...
Well, in French, I studied for AGES and it was soooo easy, I was actually pretty pissed, 'cause she gave us this long ass review sheet full of stuff she didn't even mention in the test.
And in Latin, she said you had to read the story and answer questions from it, so I thought she meant our Latin story book, so I read and translated the entire thing again! Turns out there's a paragraph sized story as part of the exam and THAT's what we needed to answer questions from >_<

check spelling and punctuation.
everyone is different with exams. I get really nervous.
btw if you cheated here you would fail and not be allowed to retake the exam.
