DS has just come back from OCR physics. The first paper in his entire school career that he hasn't had time to finish! He said it was "tricky". 6 questions I believe and he left the 6 marker at the end of question 5 as he thought he could pick up more marks more quickly on question 6 (though he didn't finish that either). He says none of his friends finished and the general consensus was that it was hard.

No text so far for AQA Physics. Must be bad.

I'm just pleased there are no more exams.

LineyWimey · 29/06/2017 11:10

Has anyone heard how Physics was? DS did OCR. Hasn't texted.

Good luck to all physicists for today.

We have leavers' dinner/prom today. Couldn't decide whether corsages were a thing so I ordered one for DS' gf anyway to be on the safe side. He is at work all day at an outdoor bushcraft camp for schools. Tomorrow it is the boat party/prom followed by clubbing in London. He is staying at his gf so I must remind him of that scene in Trainspotting where Spud stays over!

Teta we are going to Angkor Wat and Vietnam at the end of July!

ErrolTheDragon · 29/06/2017 08:43

Amen to that.

DD did her early bed followed by appearing in my room in the small hours, but calmly this time.

teta · 29/06/2017 08:35

Good luck today everyone.
Dd asleep with three friends on the floor upstairs after a marathon nightclub session. Had to wake up ds1 very quietly for school this morning as his room is next to dd's.
Dh has been reorganising the summer holiday due to Dd lack of visa.So Angkor Wat here we come.Dh is happy to leave Dd in Singapore as it's safe while we have a shorter week in Australia.I have said he needs to cut the apron strings as she will be leaving home ( hopefully) in three months.

Praying to the patron saint of physics for everyone.

Good luck everyone today.

DD is now officially nocturnal. Asleep all day yesterday and came in at some point early this morning!

I've been up fretting since 6.30, DS seems to have decided not to get up. Better go and wake him.

Physics obviously isn't calling to him.

bebumba · 29/06/2017 07:09

The last one today for DS at last! Good luck to all those doing Physics.

ErrolTheDragon · 28/06/2017 23:33

He must have needed it, tobee.

Nearly there...

JugglingFromHereToThere · 28/06/2017 22:11

Good luck to everyone with those last exams tomorrow!

It's good when you're through!

tobee · 28/06/2017 21:56

Ds woke up at about 8.30 today (no exam) thought he'd just lie there for a bit, fell asleep by mistake and woke up at about 1 pm! So much for getting up early to go to sleep early for last exam tomorrow!

LittleHo · 28/06/2017 21:52

It doesn't help that she is getting lovely photos and updates from friends who are on holiday.

LittleHo · 28/06/2017 21:51

Last one - Physics AQA tomorrow morning.

dd has head in hands on Physics paper. She is really tired so I have suggested an early night.

bigTillyMint · 28/06/2017 21:42

Good luck to the poor Physics exam-takers.

DD has her Y13 prom/club night tomorrow. A lot less stressing than the Y11 one so far!

dingit · 28/06/2017 21:28

Thank the lord. Dd is nearly on her knees with fatigue

LineyWimey · 28/06/2017 20:55

Last one tomorrow morning, physics.

tobee · 27/06/2017 22:55

Ditto

bebumba · 27/06/2017 21:30

Trudging with you dingit. Good luck with the special consideration request.

dingit · 27/06/2017 20:09

Very jealous of all the finishing people, we are still trudging on until Thursday. School are appliying for special consideration.
at badger, she is a bit of a lard arse of a cat.

tobee · 27/06/2017 17:45

Anyone else dc doing wjec English literature?

JugglingFromHereToThere · 27/06/2017 17:12

The really really last one today, general studies. I think this one went quite well!
So having a bit of a "she's really left school now" moment. She came home with the year book and everything!

They have a Cathedral service on Friday and a Leaver's meal that evening, so those are some nice touches.
Thinking I might feel the need to go to the service, and hoping to get a look at the year-book some time soon.

Your DD looks very sweet sleeping on the sofa there dingit - with your cat? 🐈

teta · 27/06/2017 16:59

Aw Dingit!
Is that a dog,cat or badger?

LineyWimey · 27/06/2017 16:57

dingit How are you all doing? It must be so hard. So much to cope with
