the off-topic thread

They stopped us being allowed to take anthologies in cos of people writing mini essays in the back, we got clean ones. Yeah, I did do seperate lit and lang, I just didn't include Levi jeans adverts (GREAT fun), Henry V, original writing and I think that was all.

 

Ah, I think when we did it they looked through a random selection of books.. the rule was no more than three sentences after one another.
O'course, mine was full of "you off to town later?" "yeah sure why not" "Nice one" cause me and my mate had conversations in it (the teacher was uber-strict about talking in the lesson).

 

The back of my biology book used to be like that. My year 8 one was particularly amusing, I used to sit next to this chavvy girl who outlined the details of an 'all-nita' where she got 'pised and stond and got folloed!!!' Ahhh good times...

 

I'm way better at lang than I am at lit, mainly because I can go on for ages putting up massive arguments/improvise way better than I can analyse.

 

Ah, then there was using the (limited) letters on a scientific calculator to make messages during maths.. that was chellenging to say the least! You were limited to ABCDEFXYM

 

I did better in my literature coursework than my language, but then I must have done silly good in the lang exam cos I got 2 As.

 

Good times. Kinda spoilt it when we discovered graph calculators with entire alphabets.

 

Well that took all the fun out of it.. oh and my mate had a graphic calculator and we had competitions to see who could make a graph that looked like a penis
.. yeah, we were BORED in maths :tongue:

 

Did you go to an all boys school too perchancel?

 

Hmm...

Im doing poems by Gillian Clarke and Seamus Heaney. My english teach described Heaney as the Rock star of the poetry world. And i think most of our exams are with AQA. My french one is at least. We've also done lord of the flies.

With calculators that have "ABCDEFXYM" only, you can still say boob and lets face it thats the only word you need on there.

 

Er, nope.. but then the girls in maths were always y'know, *working*.. we just sat at the back and were bored.

 

Oh right then, I suppose I shoulda been able to tell that by the fact you didn't then hurl the calculators whilst drumming the desks to we will rock you.

 

I just remembered.

A on my non calc.
B on my calc.
B overall.
Lvl 2 on my functional.

53/100. fifty fucking three. God that sucks.

 

Heh..
B on non calc
B on calc
B overall.. 38%

I fuckin rocked at maths.. not.

 

lol, how the hell did you get 38% overall and still manage a B??

[i got 70% and 53% and got a B!!]

 

I think i know what i really really could do for the rest of my life. Yeahh.. i know ive already said this, first i wanted to be a pschologist or therapist, counsellor, have a farm, photographer, artist, musician, most things really.

But ive got it sussed now. nearly.

Either go into advertising or designing products type thing.

 

I did the Higher tier.. back in them days (all of 5 years ago) 17% was C, 35% was B, 50% was A and 75% was A*

 

I got like 36%, scrped a B, go me!!

I used to spend maths lessons arguing with 4 boys about whether the beatles or the rolling stones were better. Every single fucking lesson.

 

Hah, the choice is obvious.. the Stones
The beatles are OK, some songs are decent but most are a bit wishy-washy for my taste.

 

I'm getting into some of the Beatles, but they both have their merits (and I could do an exam on it by now...)

Someone clicked yes on me
