England declare on 575-9. Joe Root on 200 not out. Great knock.

 

Ah yes, the one who was having an affair at the time of a government vote, and claimed she didn't hear the bell go, despite being in one of the committee rooms. She is brilliant.

 

Super knock from Root. I thought we were in a bit of trouble yesterday, but Root and Prior saved the innings brilliantly.

 

Last exam done. Summer is all mine ))

 

Having Prior in form with the bat is pretty damned important.

 

I'm bored of summer already

 

Last exam done too, and rather predictably, I think it was probably my worst performance. Oh well, summer now.

 

Nice one bud! Is that AS/A2/GCSE?

 

Done my last Politics exam today, went well i think. 2 more exams, last on Thursday. Law on Tuesday, think everybody's ****ed for that one!

 

Good..! Those spikes have been removed. I signed the petition, along with 120,000 others, and they got taken away.

 

Thanks! A2, So I'm off till late September!

 

What area of Politics? any ideologies? Not sure what is fought these days. Law and Politics eh? Good combination. I did both when I was at college, a few decades ago.

 

Was a Tesco I read, rather than 'luxury flats' ?

 

A2 is American Politics. We looked at parties in America, the three government branches, the Constitution, pressure groups, etc. Pretty much the same stuff for the UK at AS, but we didn't do UK parties as we were taught 3/4 of the topics for Unit 1 and only had to answer questions for two topics. I'll hopefully be doing Politics and International Relations at Southampton University next year!

 

Excellent stuff. Think you will meet the entry requirements?

 

It's ABB, so hopefully. I also do Film Studies which is quite straight forward and got As in the coursework.

 

I also did a2 politics but Jose and I seem to have done different parts of the course. Mine was on ideologies. I had two exams, the first was on Socialism, Liberalism, Conservatism and Anarchism while the 2nd exam was on Ecologism,Feminism, Multiculturalism and Nationalism.

 

Politics and Films. Good stuff. I hope you get your grades, although £9,000 fees these days. Awful for students.

 

My youngest did that course it seems. He went to Barton Peveril in Eastleigh.

 

Yeah it seems more common than the American politics studies.
