I think history wouldn't have been so awful if I hadn't been surrounded by people who were all telling me how good it was. *cries*

However, we all sa around and discussed media instead. Hated media, too, because the first questions was so incredibly stupid - "How valuable are soap operas to their TV channels?" I mean, what the hell? I could answer that in a paragraph, not an essay. Which sort of made up for the incredible vagueness of the other questions. I could have done them all properly with another hour to spare. Although I did get a childish glee out of writing 'cunt' in a professional and calm manner. In context:

"Directer Ken Loach once said that the BBFC were 'a bunch of middle-class wankers' after thier choice to censor his film Sweet Sixteen for excessive use of both 'fuck' and 'cunt'. The director claimed that it was an attempt to realistically show the life of underclass Glasgow, and did not deserve the cut..."

That was about the only good side. It worries me that I can only remember quotes with swear words in them.

So! In an attempt to be less maudlin, I am making a Pain And Misery CD. Okay. Maybe a bit maudlin. Romana Mark II is helping.

Oh, but go here. Please do. It's funny.

Is the media exam like the film exam where they give you a question and you just write everything you know? Like when it says "How valuable is blabla" you write a little bit about that, then say BUT all these other things are valuable too - blablablablabla. Or do you have to write specifically about what they ask?

And lol, yay for being able to swear in exam. I get kicks out of writing things like that in exams, too... And I will remember that quote for my A2 film exam, thanks XD.

*wants DW pants*

See, I was all "how VALUABLE? Is that even on the course? Shit, why is everyone else writing?" So I wrote a quick introductory paragraph of anything I could think of, then wrote paragraphs on why soaps were popular and ended each paragraph with a sort of "Which gets ratings up. And makes channels happy. Um."

You're meant to be specific. I think. We didn't even do a mock for media, it's worrying. I was going on how you do them for other subjects. So.. hopeully I've done okay. I don't second guess media anymore though, because it's such a random subject for grading.

Oh, and I will so get you DW pants for Christmas. I may get everyone some, actually, because it would amuse me.

Randomness, but...

One of my friends at uni, Lori, her boyfriend was the star of Sweet Sixteen. Also, her naked arse appears in it at one point XD.
