Hey, join the club. One singular exam, and it was Arts Reviewing, so I spent two hours writing shit. I think I passed.
Pointless random thoughts...

What's "Arts Reviewing," Chyld? And what are you studying?
I am writing about Jm in my signature because apparently it's an effective method of ignoring him.

Tis a module for Creative Writing. If we used the American terminology, Philosophy is my major and Creative Writing is my minor, although obviously the systems are about as similar as cabbages and Kings Cross train station.
EDIT: As to actually what it is, its exactly as it says on the tin. You have to write 2000 words worth of reviews for the coursework (thank god I decided to write some for my site, saved me shitloads of time), and review either a poem, a short story, or part of Bob Dylans memoirs for the exam. Oddly enough, we got a copy of the exam paper two days ago, and were allowed to take it in, so technically I could have written the whole damn thing beforehand and just copied it out.
Oddly enough, we weren't taught how to write reviews in the seminars, we just watched whatever random crap the tutor decided to put on.

I took a three and a half hour physics exam. I think I failed it.
BUT my school can't kick me out yet! They have to put me on academic review first, and if I don't improve in the next term THEN they can expel me. I hear the dropout rate is about 1/3.

At least in History and English I can fall back on the fact that I'm someone who got into a math/science school because they could write well. Meaning that I fail physics, but my average essays are praised as "the best I've seen so far". Because nobody else can write, because they're all either autistic or just plain uncreative.

C'mon, some autistic kids can write, but I had the same sort of phenomenon in my school. Once I got out of a writing block on all things school related I kicked ass at essays, and the problem was that nobody else did.

Janey! I would hug you, but you'd just stab me.

No, I'm done with my exam... erm, strenuous workload, right now I'm discussing USB hub colours with the folks in the Beautiful South. while my dad rips apart my laptop to find out why my USB port is, well, shit.
Easy life. And nobody to nick my food for 200 miles.
Although I've just rediscovered why I hate this computer: none of my Bookmarks, and the laser mouse wants a say in where it moves the cursor...
Count that as a PRT or three if you want to get over my bloggish compulsions.

My computer screen hates me, now. It's flickering- or at least, different colored lines are.
I watched someone play Final Fantasy yesterday. It's actually kind of a scary game for being about Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.
