Aaaaaaaargh! No! GCSE's!

Well, I checked the first 5 pages of general messages and I couldn't find anything that looked like it was connected with GCSE's, so here goes.

Unless you're a Brit, you won't know what I'm talking about. But over here, for the 15 and 16 year olds, we've just started on the exams which will determine if we will be able to go to college, get a job etc., or end up paying someone rent for the use of their cardboard box. Ugh.

I'm hoping there are some people out there who can come share the pain, [oops, did I say pain? I meant share helpful comments and advice...] or this may just turn into a self-pity thing for me and polkat. Hoping not.

Well, had my last day of school yesterday. I'm now officially on study leave. This would be a good thing, except I also had my music GCSE yesterday. Aaaaaaaaaaargh!
I tell you, those examiners are evil. 'All around my hat' played FIVE times! What did we do to deserve such torture?

So, who else is doing GCSE's, or has done GCSE's? Please come talk, cos pain is always better when shared...

Says he is shy but I rather suspect he is fat, or perhaps hairy. Have heard some v. bad stories about palantir relationships. Should probably cool it for a while. Well, wouldn't you know, palantir guy turned out to be Dark Lord of Mordor. Just my luck. Could have been worse, I guess. Sauron not far or hairy, just disembodied force of evil. Must go now, have to raise massive demon army to scourge the earth. Also, have manicure appointment. Is no easy task keeping nails pointy. Am tired of climbing up and down eight million stairs just to taunt Gandalf. Should have imprisoned him in easy-access dungeon where could taunt more effectively, and would not have to wait until after breakfast. Have crossed orcs with goblin men in caverns below Isengard. V. tedious experience as orcs and goblin men most reluctant to breed, even with dinner and flowers. Next time will try something easier, such as breeding goblins and cheerleaders to create super-perky army that can travel by day and will not complain about pink uniforms. Did not know when decided to make demon army for Sauron that would be so darn messy. Curse my decision to be Saruman the White. Should have decided to be Saruman the Muddy Brown, or Saruman the Faintly Greenish. White just shows all the slime.
