are so annoying sometimes. I won’t go into huge detail but I will bring up one thing! There’s two English papers in the two different exams. I got an averaged A in English Literature which was awesome! Then the English Language I got an A* in one paper! I was raving! I’ve never gotten an A* ever and I really want a good English grade because of art/film/screenwriting aspirations. But the second paper… I’d apparently left out a question, which I either mis-read on what/how many you were supposed to do or wasn’t told to ignore the unstructions and it ended up being a D, even though I got a 28/30 and 23/30 on the questions I did do! One of the English teachers told me my answers were brilliant but because I’d forgotten one… I think this is where I use my brother’s annoying “facepalm” word. At least it only averaged up to a B, but man! I HAD AN A FUCKING *!
It’s only the mocks… but I wanted to use them as predicted grades for part-time jobs and applying to schools. So would it be wrong of me to put A* instead of the B on my CV? Since I know I can get it and would have if I’d done the question!

I feel so relaxed now that most of the exams are over. This is the first day I can just relax and not have to study or be desperate to sleep. I actually expected to sleep in but I was meant to go into the art department at school and then to the hairdressers. None of that happened though because the bus didn’t show up and I wasn’t able to get an appointment for today. Which is really annoying because I haven’t had my hair cut or dyed properly in ages. It feels so messy.
I watched Waking Life this afternoon and it was really good. A lot of people thought Richard Linklater was just trying to create something that seemed philosophical for dumb people. That really annoyed me. I haven’t seen a lot of films similar, but I really enjoyed it. The characters asked a lot of questions I’ve been asking a lot and I was glad to see others thought the same way. Plus I loved that cartoon style, that they also used in A Scanner Darkly.

If you have any movie suggestions that are similar or you just really enjoyed let me know. I like more artsy, independent films but regular ones are good too
