Hurray! Had my Sociology exam today, was really freaking out about it. It's odd I get nervous, in my head but I don't feel nervous, if that makes any sense at all. Thought getting into college early and revising would be really good for me but I managed to get next to no revision done! I really couldn't concentrate and no that wasn't down to texting Alex in the morning (he started it!), it was just down to the fact I was worrying too much so everything I was reading just wouldn't go in. Then at about 10am I got a splitting headache and I don't know why, I had been drinking plenty and I continued to drink plenty but that wasn't helping. It didn't go away all day, I didn't have any painkillers, nor did anyone else so I just had to try and forget it and sit in pain all day. I got some lovely texts from some of the minions wishing me luck and Alex rang me half an hour before the exam which was nice and kinda made me a bit more relaxed. M's text especially made both me and Bex laugh: "Good luck :-) Minx FTW!!" Hehe.
Everyone seemed to be predicting a gender and feminism question would come up and they were right! Originally I wanted gender to come up because I know SO much about it but I realised, while revising I knew no feminists! At least, not in any massive detail. Luckily the second question was about Marxist and class structure which is a really broad subject. I just hope I stuck to the question enough. The exam was an hour and a half but that flew by and I manged to not rush it and finish every question as best I could. All I can do now is cross my fingers and pray. Half way through the exam I began to feel sick. I don't think it was down to nerves, it might have been because of the headache but I'm not sure. I was just worried it was going to get worse, which of course made me feel worse but luckily it didn't develop into anything worse.
It was pouring down when we got out of the exam and I hadn't brought a jumper, luckily I was getting a lift from Bex so I didn't get wet or pass out on the common on the way home! When I got home I still felt boody aweful. Still felt sick and my head felt like it was literally being split in two. I don't know what the hell was wrong with me! I took some painkillers, they took ages to kick in but eventually, thank God, they did. So only now has the happiness of no more Sociology (as long as I don't fail of course!) ever again has finally kicked in! I'm so glad it's the *easy* English exam tomorrow. By easy I mean it's easy in comparison to the other English exam we have to do. Tomorrow, we have an hour and a half to analyse and compare 3/4 texts from different periods in time (could be as early as early modern english!) but they will all share a common subject. My teacher thinks I'll be fine because I did well in my coursework and the techniques you have to use are simular in the exam so hopefully it should be too difficult! Fingers crossed eh?
