OWLS *cough* I mean, SC

I had my first School Certificate exams today. English and Science. They were easy, and I had quite a bit of time to spare in each. In English, we had to write an imaginative piece that referred to 'laughter' in some way, and I wrote about this girl who was always being laughed at and kept on moving schools and at the end she decided the only solution was to be the one laughing, not the one laughed at :) It was pretty damn awesome, if I may say so myself. I screwed up the interview though, they so didn't give us enough room to write! I had to write an interview about this girl's entire life story (from growing up on a farm, to going on a gap year, to studying marine biology and then finally how she became an animal activist and started a new group in her community to save wildlife) in one tiny page! Ok, so I should have simplified her life a little, but it was a brilliant life story and besides, by the time I realised I should have cut out the crap, it was already too late. So I ended up saying what the whole interview was meant to be about in the last 2 lines. Opps :)

Science was alright, better than I expected, but then again that's what I thought of the trials :S Had to make up a bit of crap along the way, but it sounded semi-believable, so all is good :)

I haven't studied at all for the SC. I really don't care. It was kinda weird though. Walking into the exam room and realising the people that weren't in uniforms weren't teachers we knew, but rather Board of Studies exam supervisors. I had forgotten all about that, or maybe I never really knew? I think I only thought they come in for HSC exams. The lady that used the microphone to tell us the instructions and say "Pens down" had an annoying voice. The whole thing reminded me of Hogwarts and the OWLS examinations, because I remember how they had people from the Ministry of Magic or something come in to supervise those exams. I know this sounds crazy, but it kinda felt like I was at Hogwarts. *Sigh* I love those moments, it's my dream come true - to live in the wizarding world and go to Hogwarts and all. But yeah, other than that brief magical daydream, my day wasn't out of the ordinary :)
