Just got out of my AS Creative Writing exam where one of the tasks was to write about "any book, film, or song in a lively and engaging way for a national newspaper"... Guess what I wrote mine about?

It's a shame it was an exam and not an essay/piece of coursework -- I'd've loved to have read that! I used to enjoy dicking about in mock exams at school, trying to smuggle in as many Oasis lyrics as I could. I remember the year Beady Eye's first album came out, concluding an English Language paper with, "and so it is, as Liam Gallagher said, that 'nothing ever lasts forever'." It's pretty cringey now, when think about it, but I was mad on that song at the time. And it's only a mock, innit? You've got it to do.

I can tell you that there was a nice bit of wordplay on The Brothers Karamavoz / The Brothers Gallagher, and a reference to "All my people right here right now / D'you know what I mean? / Yeah, yeah!" being more meaningful than anything Shakespeare ever wrote.
During my high school mocks, I would try and get as many Oasis song titles in as possible. "Some Might Say" was the easy one, and I once managed to sneak in a "Champagne" when talking about supernovas in Physics .

One month army left and my hair is starting to get too long (reaching ears). I'm not sure if I should play it safe and shave it one last time or let it grow and hope no one whines about it. My corporal said it's getting too long but I won't cut it unless it's lieutenant who's complaining I changed to sulfate-free shampoo and it's definitely smoother and less curly now. Maybe this time I can grow proper Liam hair (Earls Court 95 would be cool) just wait until you get old like me and hair starts to grow ON and IN your ears

Wonder what it means that I no longer get at all nervous for tests or exams. Got my Philosophy AS in an hour, 50% of my A-Level, and yet I've not felt any pressure at all when revising and I don't feel any nerves at all right now.

Either apathy towards exams due to focus on something else or acceptance of what will be will be. Or some combination of the two.

Some get it fierce. I, personally, never had any sort of issue taking exams. It never bothered me, or flustered me at all. It can be an asset for sure... but sometimes it just means you don't care.

Cran Dalgety, shut up. You haven't had to give one of your horses away to avoid harsher punishment. Fabrice Souloy did with Your Highness.

Weird, this is now 2nd time in a row the cashier didn't ask papers when I was buying alcohol. Maybe I'm starting to look older
