So I’m halfway through my final high school exams ever (hopefully…provided I pass!). I’m really feeling the strain, as my toughest subject is coming up this week. I loathe and detest Biology with the fire of a thousand suns. All I need to do is pass, but that does, unfortunately, involve studying. I have never studied before in my entire life before these exams. And now, saying that I’ve ’studied’ involves one 4 hour session for one subject, and a 3 hour session for another. Not the best to brag with, but like I said it’s more than I’ve ever done before.

To make matters worse, a local school accidentally handed out the wrong English paper on the day of English Language. Yes, they gave the kids Literature, despite the fact there’s checks in place to stop that from happening. Click here to find media coverage on the mistake (thanks, News24). So the kindhearted matric students at the school decided to spread the leak to their friends. The next day, my Literature exam, I did hear a few kids saying they knew what was on the paper because of a leak, but since nobody told me what was on the paper I didn’t care. But the leak must have got bad enough, because now I have to sit through a rewrite of the Literature paper- 1 day after I was supposed to have finished my finals. Sigh.

Roll on November 23. I’m wanting to party after that. Though, knowing me, a ‘party’ will probably entail curling up in bed and sleeping unless someone can persuade me otherwise.
