Exam Week

Posted by RhysAndrews on Oct. 17, 2006, 12:19 a.m.

Time for exams this week; these aren't just my annual crap, this is for my school certificate. After these exams I have 2 years studying my higher-school certificate… So yeah; stressing times. Today I did my English and Science Exam… 2 hours per exam. I finished my English exam about 35 minutes before the 2 hours were up, and that was pretty easy…

And then, I did my Science Exam. Pretty much screwed up most of it, finished in 1 hour, then 5 minutes to go I realised there was a whole section I didn't complete so I had to rush that. I still have:

- Information, Software & Technology

- Mathematics

- Personal Development Health (PDH)

- Geography

- History

I haven't studied once in my entire life, except reading over my IT book because I wanted to, and a bit of study for English last year; So this is going to be interesting. Never-the-less, I shouldnt' go too bad in Mathematics, and I'll probably get my usual 90-95% in IT.

NEEXT. What the hell is that 0 under my badges? I hate it, he's ugly, get rid of it.

Music Time… Got myself the new Evanescence Album the other day; as well as the old one "Fallen". Very nice. Needed a bit of a change. Speaking of which, I've been deeply getting into some Leslie West (guitar blues); he's very good.

19-21"Don't hoard treasure down here where it gets eaten by moths and corroded by rust or—worse!—stolen by burglars. Stockpile treasure in heaven, where it's safe from moth and rust and burglars. It's obvious, isn't it? The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being.

22-23"Your eyes are windows into your body. If you open your eyes wide in wonder and belief, your body fills up with light. If you live squinty-eyed in greed and distrust, your body is a dank cellar. If you pull the blinds on your windows, what a dark life you will have!

24"You can't worship two gods at once. Loving one god, you'll end up hating the other. Adoration of one feeds contempt for the other. You can't worship God and Money both.

25-26"If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don't fuss about what's on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds.

27-29"Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? All this time and money wasted on fashion—do you think it makes that much difference? Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them.

30-33"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.

34"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.

You got the school certificate? I wish I was you- I have the higher school certificate starting this week. Lol. Nah, I'd rather still be me, because if I was you I would have two more gruelling years of bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

Good luck ;)

The mysterious '0' badge from what I've heard is actually warn level. I never noticed that you could see other's warn though (or that warn was even displayed there at all…)

Heh, exams. Can't really say that I miss them. Almost forget what they were like though, main thing I remember from school is being bored and staring at the clock.

Staff have a warn panel where you can see the list of users with warns. Warn level on blogs is just so that you can see it without commenting.

I have exams next week. Math, programming, digital logics and electrotechnics. I'm worried about math, it's not that hard, it's just… weird.

Anyway, good luck
