<p>To report on my English exam.</p>

<p>I can’t believe they though we’d have a hard time knowing meanings of words like “decline”, “impact” and “soar”. W T F? We’re in 12th, dude.</p>

<p>I had a really nice time writing my report on how we celebrated World Environment Day. And an article on discrimination against females. In 200 words.</p>

<p>Who can write anything in 200 words?! Or worse, 125?</p>

<p>I had a nice time with the The Importance of being Earnest long answer, though. I love that book, and I’ve read it 34583490 times till now, I first read it when I was 8 (we have a small portion of it in the syllabus, with all mention of the word “flirt”, etc. etc. deleted) - I know the play very very well.</p>

<p>I didn’t even stay till 1.30, I walked out at 1.00 PM :).</p>

<p>I didn’t fall asleep. I got a headache, though. =).</p>

<p>Word limits? People actually stick to them? :)</p>

<p>I know all about stupid censorship though. :smiley: We had the word ‘wine’ scratched out of Lochinvar in 8th Grade. Not that we were doing the poem, but I suppose seeing it there ranked alongside actually studying alcohols in grade 11. (We had to tear that entire chapter out, I kid you not :p)</p>

4243

<p>I had one on World Reading Day… I <em>nearly</em> slept from 1.00 to 1.30… Same case here… headache… even lots of music can’t get rid of it… hope CBSE ppl r reading all this…</p>

4244

<p>The word limits are craziness. I wrote till…er, 300, actually, and then spent all my spare time (of which I had plenty) frantically scratching out bits to get myself down to something approaching ‘reasonable’. (What can I say, I have wordiness issues.)</p>

<p>(Kriti, out of curiosity, what did you write for the Wilde long answer? I love that play as well, but I’m afraid I took the wrong sort of spin on the answer. Not that it matters now.) </p>

<p>And yeah, expecting us not to know what ‘impact’ meant was…pretty insane. Not like that was the hardest word in the passage, even – I’d imagine some people would have more trouble with, say, ‘repudiation’. (Which was on there.)</p>

<p>I think I had the same paper as bas, judging by ‘World Reading Day’, but I picked the ‘drama competition’ choice instead. (Hey, I got to reference Shakespeare and stuff. Not complaining.)</p>

<p>And I have a headache. Some success in curing it with Imogen Heap’s live EP, actually.</p>

4245

<p>Set 3… Headache update: I’ve listened my complete collection now and the headache’s gone… In order to prevent relapse, I’m gonna solve some challenging math probs…</p>

4246

<p>

</p>

<p>haha that’s just like me.</p>

<p>bored of calling Kriti names == Chemistry over :D</p>

4247

<p>Hi!..
So, Chemistry took all its phobia n tension along, eh?..n it also made this place a temple of Procrastinators…</p>

4248

<p>YOU MEAN I CAN’T EXERCISE MY SYNDROME ANYMORE?</p>

<p>I had only one syndrome too… <em>throws um… bas007 at aritct.</em> Hehe.</p>

<p>My headache’s gone courtesy my two year old niece, who’s running around yelling “chockeeeee” right now.</p>

<p>I like Chemistry (I’m one of them!)</p>

<p>Mine was how Jack cleared up “the whole question of Cecily”. I just… explained what happened in the play.</p>

4249

<p>OMG :frowning: that’s a terrible syndrome … :)</p>

4250

<p>I used to like Chem too, but then I faced 3500 equations, and something just died in me ;)</p>

4251

<p>Hehe…</p>

<p>:D</p>

<p>I hated everything barring Physical Chemistry. But I can understand the bit about reactions.</p>

4252

<p>Haha :)</p>

<p>10 characters…</p>

4253

<p>Hey, these chemists are such megalomaniacs, each step will be named after some bloke, sometimes more than one eg Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky (sounds like a White House intern) LOL</p>

4254

<p>I forgot that reaction. :eek:</p>

<p>After all the pains I went through to try and learn it. I forget it. After just one week.</p>

<p>Chem sucks!</p>

4255

<p>And that’s y I never want to b an <a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo7Vg03-ReI[/url]”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo7Vg03-ReI&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>That Green color makes me think of some really horrifying Chemical reactions…(Totally Unpredictable…)…;)…</p>

4256

<p>I’m cursed! :eek:</p>

<p>I can’t forget any of it! (I’ll be burdened all my life with knowing each of those 3521ish (I counted) reactions :D)</p>

4257

<p>My 500th post on TiT#15!!!..n 1200th post on CC…</p>

<p>bas007, the number game begins…</p>

4258

<p>it’s ALPHA-HALOGENATION-OF-CARBOXYLIC-ACID</p>

4259

<p>Boy, I’m bored of that game now…</p>

4260

<p>So, whoz goin for the Iron maiden on 17th??(Noldo?)…</p>
