Yeah, it's not really morning any more is it?
I'm bored. In fact, scratch that, I am on strike. Someone's pretending to hit someone with a candlestick on tv. Bet you can't guess what programme it is.
I had a horrible dream last night, though it could've been this morning. You see, I have a pattern that never fails. If I stay up until some godawful hour after midnight, I sleep, usually without dreaming unless I set my alarm for half six. Since I don't have to get up that early anymore unless I have an exam, I usually set my alarm, if indeed I set it at all, to either seven or eight. Which means I wake up at my alarm, turn it off, say "five more minutes..." and fall asleep for normally about two hours. During that time, I dream most often. This one was crap.
The dreams are nearly always connected to things I'm worrying about, unlike the really random ones I get otherwise. Since I'm fretting about the Sociology paper tomorrow (oh God!) because it's synoptic, I dreamt that I'd missed it. So I had to go in to find out what I could do, and the guy from that Disaster show (I think) where people get electrocuted for wrong answers or something gave me a list of my results which were Ds on everything and an F on the one I didn't do. Yeah, weird.
Then I think I woke up and was like "OMG, I'm even dreaming about the stupid thing!" So I'm on strike. Until about five o'clock anyway.
I hate my brain sometimes. Especially when it comes to revision. I can't concentrate without getting distracted. Not just by the tv, but my own mind conspires against me. Not sure who with, but it does.
Apparently King Akhenaten was sculpted with no sign of genitalia, in case you were wondering.
There has never been a worse time to be a creative genius and a yaoi fangirl. Okay, so maybe genius was a bit too strong a word, but you know what I mean. My brain won't shut up about Yamagata and Kai or Yuuri and Wolfram or God help me, Leo and Jin if my fics turn that way. By the way, the Goodbye Lenin! slash is begun. Six pages longer than I had envisioned, there's uh....some kissing. Don't look at me like that, the smut needs plot, no matter how crap the plot happens to be.
So yeah. I have too many ideas bubbling around and around. Strange how that used to be a good thing. But I'm well on the way with my variety pack. Just got 96 more left *cries* All good fun though.
I was trying to work out what I thought I'd got on exams so far. Here are my calculations, based mostly on averages and guesswork.
If I get what I usually get in the listenings and readings, that'll get me low Bs and average Cs. That's about a high C bordering on borderline. Then the German essay was crap. I reckon an average C so that makes German a slightly lower high C. French essay was great, but I'm not getting my hopes up, so we'll say a slightly lower than average B which bumps French up to a borderline C/B.
Now, I think the orals were about the same. Certainly not terrible was the verdict and I got a B on the French mock, so I think that makes them both just under average Bs which makes German a rather a high C and French a low but not too low B.
Coursework in French was supremely shite. Both Ds so that pulls French back down to a high C. The first bit in German was a B, low one I think, and I don't know what the second piece was, but I think it was worse than the first one which I'll say is an average C. Together that's a high C, practically borderline darling, which doesn't change German.
Theory and Methods had crap questions with an average essay. So I think that's a C for Sociology. But then Religion was amazing (for me anyway) so I reckon an average B, which so far is a low B, I think. More likely borderline.
Now that seems pretty bad, considering I need three Bs, but then it hit me. It's technically only half the exam. Yes, I know I'm slow.
So, I don't think my Sociology resits were any better than before, so that's an unchanged B from last year. Same goes for French, which means I should still have my A. German, on the other hand, seemed too easy to be true. So, I think that even if the grade boundaries are higher, that should be enough to hopefully get me at least a higher B, if not an A.
Which means that at the moment Sociology is an average B, German should at least be a borderline, if not low, B and French should be an average B too, by my reckoning.
I feel so much better about myself now :)
