excellent work (again)

 

probally stupid question, but are knots like that one one the bell/stairs a real pain?

The discolourations don't bother me too much - except when they cut across an important line. There's no predicting them, they're like a mild practical joke played by wood.

 

Proper knots and shakes are a different matter and an irritation. But like hurricanes and diarrhoea, they're a natural and largely unpredictable force of nature, and there's not much to be gained from fretting over them. Hard beeswax can work wonders.

Off the rails (fail)

haha, my thoughts.

 

But then I realised I fucked my own GCSEs so decided I have nothing useful to add other than "Revision probably does help :$"

You're natural intelligence will get you through GCSEs with ease.

 

I got

 

A*, 5 A's, 3 B's without revising.

Perhaps coursework would have been useful.

 

I found a major piece of my English coursework the other day - I realised why I did shit in that :D

I was told my Geography coursework was so shit that it stopped me from getting an A*, but I don't believe that, I believe it was shit, but I feel I did quite bad in my exam and missed stuff out so if I had have done better I could've got an A* instead of an A.

good c/w and module scores is handy too. certainly helped me get through with no revision.

 

On the other hand my girlfriend worked solidly for 3 months prior, revised her ass off and got 7 A*'s and the best results in the school (shit school) - but I'm not sure it was worth the effort personally.

Well I got dropped down to foundation paper with English cos of my CW meaning I could only get a C :(

 

RE: I should've actually done something in class, I dont think I ever opened the bastard book. The test could've been written in French for all I knew.

 

Science: Chemistry let me down but I got a B

 

Maths: I dunno actually, I was just shit generally I think! Got a C

 

French: Haha, C/W worth 70% and I never did it. Speaking worth 10% and I didnt' turn up. So I got an F!

 

Music: Dossed about too much and my project was rushed and unfinished. Was generally crap on exam: D

 

DT: Actually, one of the few where I blame my teacher - cos he fucked me about all year. Cunt. I got a D.

 

ICT: Courswork again, didn't hand in a 1/3 of it - the other 2 were done in 3 hours, despite having 2 years of lesson time! Got a C.

 

And I dont recall what others I did :(

See above :D

Thats ridiculous, 70%? So you could have got an A even without the exams? and you got an F? Think you missed out there.

Yup - but I hated the lesson with a passion.

 

I know I could've done it but I dont care, to be honest.

5 A*'s 3 A's, and a B (English Literature), with probably as much work as you. Hah :P (F)

English and English Lit were my favourite lessons next to Graphics :(

 

*got all A's and B's on courseworks*
*is terrible in exams*
*fucked up on the exams*
*ended up with a C in both english and literature* :((

Romantic dreamer bollocks. You're a baby-faced world weary cynic.

I didn't mean they detract from the piece, I was thinking a knot must be much harder than ordinary wood to shape and carve

 

you do great work.

More manky than hard, usually. If they're coherent, there's always a chance that the whole thing will pop out and have to be glued back in.

This woman. Was she using cholesterol in her fight to stamp out romantic dreamers or something?
