w00t!

so, a chronology of today. i got to sch in driving rain, got to our homeroom and was instantly depressed by the usual combination of sleeping people and our fantastic mood lighting - i.e. lack of lighting. no assembly cos of aforementioned rain, ended up being bored and doing miscellaneous stuff.

spent two hours listening to hopeless banter about soccer and talking cock about uni applications with classmates peck, wally, xy and annliang. then a depressing math lecture where mr tay more or less laughed at our collective ineptitude. and best of all he had to torment us by going through the paper without returning our scripts. wtf.

human geog was sucky too, expected an A, got a B (68) and have to wait for monday to get physical geog but i'm not expecting great things from ms law and her insane marking.

then we got back lit. w00t 2 20-mark essays from mr purvis - never gotten anything like that before. 2 × 18 marks from mr batchelor too! and (sigh) 14.5 for antony and cleopatra, and 14 for faustus... the plays are my weakest texts. but 20 for my filthy dirty sex-ridden essay on gender issues in handmaid's tale and 1984 was frankly beyond my wildest dreams. and his comments really made me feel like i did something right haha. nice for a change. and i was gratified by both the pract crits too... caught xy reading my essay which was an awfully gratifying role reversal ROFL.

and an A for GP which feels good when it's in the bag too... decent marks all round.

so, my scorecard so far is:
Lit - A (expected B)
GP - A (expected A)
Human Geog (1/2 of the total geog marks) - B (expected A)
Phys Geog - ?? (expected A)
Maths - ?? (expected A)
Econs - ?? (expected B/A)

we'll see how it goes tmrw. maths and econs coming back, hopefully they'll be good too.

your humble protagonist has tasted lit nirvana and it feels really good.
