wow,so this thing really blew up in the last few days so i thought id post! 
Poetry:What can i say? last night i was giving out to myself ,,,”Ally,,what’s wrong with you? you know that Boland is most likely gonna come up so go study her NOW!!!”. but the fact is I hate boland..just don’t get me started. I decided to go against my conscience and quickly go over Kavanagh, Rich and Eliot; my favourite poets. I had a great answer prepared for Eliot so ended up doing him. I think im the only one im my class who did Eliot…i love him !!! Id say i got full marks in that question because it was jsut perfect..the first thing i did was flick to the poetry section in the exam…it was just such a great feeling,,i think i was smiling for the first half hour in the exam!! I liked the unseen poem too,it was easy enough.
Lear: I did the question (i) loyalty triumphs over viciousness or whatever. It was good, i was happy with my answer. No more Lear is kind of sad. I’m gonna miss learning all those quotes and phrases that sound intelligent! (okay sorry no I’m not *slaps self*)
Comparative: Emm…it was okay,probably the one i was least happy with. I did G.V.V. part (i). It wasn’t up to my usual standard so we shall see!
All in all,i couldn’t be more happy with the English paper,thank God all my poets came up!!! I would be raging if i had spent my last minutes learning Boland,,in the end Eliot saved me I love that guy! Tomorrow maths awaits,,ordinary level that is…so it’ll be fine i suspect!
Bonne Chance mes amis!!!!!

Quiet shocked to be honest, genuinely i had convinced my self that boland would come up but otherwise paper two was a really good paper, king lear question was just sweet and the gvv was just mouthwatering, luckily the day before the exam i had a feeling that yeats would come up and briefly revised but felt i could’ve done so much better

Dont worry Thomas,by that description it sounds like it was a grand ole paper in general for ya!,,i feel i could have done so much better in paper 1 actually! I think the examiners knew people would bet on Boland since she hasnt been up in ages and was on the original paper in 2009…id say you were relieved seeing Yeat’s name up then
good luck for next week’s papers anyway!
