h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This week we had our Statistics assesment. we had two hours for it but I got it done in about 45 minutes.

I hate Statistics. I will do Calculus next year. That's Algebra, Graphing, Coordinate Geometry: all the easy parts on Maths. Statistics is Probability, Statistics kind of stuff.

The problem with Statistics is that it has open-ended questions, the kind of language-based stuff you find in English. Last year I only got Acheived, and this year I'm hoping for Merit, or even Excellence. It would be my first Excellence this year. We'll get our marks on Tuesday.

I've been busy working on my research report for English. It's about the role of women in science fiction. I'm using Doctor Who, Deepwater black and three short stories for my sources. Last year I got Merit for my research report, my only Merit in English. I'm hoping for Merit this year.

So far I've only failed one assesment - in Media Studies. It was close viewing of a film. We had two hours for that but I was absent the one day, and I ended up answering only half the questions. If I'd answered them all I would have got Merit. Ah well. We have another chance to gain those credits.

Oh, the days of school assessments - I remember what fun that was... I did quite well, especially in English. But mathemetics - why isn't there a "Madison the Maths Teacher Hunter"?
