20 questions, all multiple choice. Had to get 12 of them correct to pass it and I think I managed to get 14. Eeek. Almost out the class! I need to pass these internal assessments to stay in the course and that was a bit too close :|

ARGH! This caused further frustration today. an hour and a half to do a prelim about......The Concorde. Because thats just what 15 teenagers are interested in yeah?! Bad choice on the schools behalf. So, done the questions which were worded very peculiarly and was sitting at my desk for 15mins looking at this one question. I was ready to pull my hair out!!! So, I skipped it and done all the others then went back to it at the end. Another 10minutes and I was ready to scream...which would have been a bad idea as my english teacher decided to sit at the same desk as me and mark some S3 personal essays.
I love english as well, its probably my favourite subject this year and my teacher is the greatest!!! I've had him in 1st,2nd,3rd and now for half of 5th year and he's just the most amazing dude teacher in the school :D but today, I was kinda rude to him...he was chatting to me towards the end of the period once we were all finished the prelim, but i was hardly listening and my answers onsisted of about 2 words.
I feel awful for it as well because he's one of the teachers that actually thinks I'm good at something. We would talk a lot about english and even comedy shows like blackadder (he was the one that introduced me to the show) and he'd get me to do stuff like create wall displays based on the novel we were reading at the time. He would read my pieces of writing that I done, give me criticism and tell me where i could fix things (ok so thats what teachers were paid for) but he'd really take his time over my work and he'd sit and chat with me about how to make it one of the best pieces I could. I went from an estimated grade 4 up to a grade 2 thanks to the man! He'd also ask me for my opinions on things and read my analysis of quotations/poem extracts. He also read out or asked me to read out part of my essays to the rest of the class because he thought that my writing was really good.
He's also done other things as well. But the main one was that he'd ask me if I was ok and talk to me if he saw me feeling blue. He's such a cheery guy and he knows just the thing to say to make you feel tonnes better. I saw him 5 times a week for the first 3 years of school so he always knew if something was up. I wish I had him as a guidence teacher. He's just so amazing :)
ANYWAYS I think that just turned into a big rant about my teacher. and just incase anybody asks. NO I do not fancy the man, he's just an awesome guy who really knows how to make me feel good about myself and the work I do. BUT if I were about 12 years older then maybe....
Nah I'm just kidding :P He's like everybody's best mate. The guy you call when you go to the pub with all your other buddies :P
anyways thats all I think, oh wait, my aunt and gran were in a smal traffic incident but they're both alright (thank goodness) they're both just a little shook up. anyways thats my update of today.
