Yer I've got it aswell. Im not going to revise for the AEA though, cant really do anything for it to be honest.

Hmm yeah thats how i feel about the Chem AEA on weds - but im slightly better at chem! Is there any kind of sites that says what its on / give past questions etc?? Its by sum really weird exam board so im kinda worried that the syllabus may be different

AEA religious Studies!?!

Yep. Should be fun actually, the questions are broad enough that I can just make a fairly minor nod to religion and spend 3 hours talking about philosophy.

I'm bored.... You know, as much as we've done Disney to death, we've not really discussed music on this thread I don't think. Time for the cheesy, "if you were stuck on a desert island which 6* albums would you bring with you?" question I think! *It was originally 5, but I couldn't decide, and as I'm asking the question I figure I'm allowed to change it on a whim.

Mine would probably be

1. Dark side of the Moon by Pink Floyd
2. Moon Safari by Air (seems like good stranded music doesn't it?)
3. Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie
4. The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails (for when I'm annoyed at being stuck on a desert island)
5. Forty Licks by the Rolling Stones
6. The Best of Kings by King's College Cam choir.

:biggrin:

As possibly the most indecisive person on the planet, this is much harder than it initially looks...

1. Parachutes - Coldplay
2. A Certain Trigger - Maximo Park
3. The Man Who - Travis
4. The Beginning Stages Of... - Polyphonic Spree
5. Demon Days - Gorillaz
6. With Love and Squalor - We Are Scientists

But I'll probably have changed my mind in half an hour.

Heloo. You know I think this forum is actually bad for me, because if I go and have a peek at how everyone found the exam I just did I get a little annoyed. They either say it was so hard and then list all the things they got right thus making me feel even worse about a bad paper OR everyone talks about how great it was, until some wise guy says, we can't all get As so I guess they'll bring the boundaries up.

Either way-how is it helpful, its dangerous!! I literally am now doubting a perfectly normal English exam because the questions were nice, therefore I should have done EVEN better so that I would be better than all the average people who did better than expected, what kind of a psychological impression is that?

Sorry for ranting, just had to take solace in a relatively normal conversation, realise this is a bit garbled, but was spurred on by my sudden irritation, and yes tis my own fault for even peeking at the general opinion towards an exam...

(Will go eat ice-cream and watch stand up comedy in an attempt to make it all go away...)

Nature of the beast.

In no particular order, mine would be

- The Velvet Underground and Nico
- Tommy - The Who
- Tea for the Tillerman - Cat Stevens
- Surfer Rosa & Come On Pilgrim - Pixies
- The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - David Bowie (Yes, I know...)
- Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

I have to say that Joanna Newsom almost made it on the list, and I almost agreed with Blue Fairy on the 'Beginning Stages' of the Spree...
