Phillip Seymour Hoffman=my idol.

Today. History (to answer cant's question) Level 3 - MY WRIST IS STILL HURTING! ARGHARGHARGH! But seriously, that exam hurt my wrists something horrible. Not only did I have a cold, but I was rushing the final resources question because of time constraints. Still, adequate essays and hopefully good enough resource answers for M/E. Next - Stats Schol on SATURDAY? W? T? F? Well, at least I'm going to see Borat after that. Hopefully.

I is Jemma XD But thank you for mistaking me for Mairanne Laughing out loud Which topic did you do? Tudor Stewart? Cause I'm doing it next year and I'm wondering if you think its good or not Smiling

Pigeon Army 28 November, 2006 - 7:16pm
Phillip Seymour Hoffman=my idol.

Crappity crap crap. I did Tudors and Stuarts - it's called Early Modern England. It's 100 years worth of history, but its easy-ish.

Jemma 28 November, 2006 - 10:18pm

Oh easy-ish sounds good! Yes I think Tudors and Stuarts is what I meant XD Maybe Sticking out tongue Lol. *really has no idea*

Geo/bio/chem: Good! I liked the Sharpeis (yeah I know I've been HSMbopping too long) and viral reproduction in bio, though I didn't like the really small spaces for diagrams. I didn't like all the "explain your reasoning" questions.
Physics: Pass please. I only did fifteen questions :|

My exams so far:

Computers - Very easy, easier than the mock exam

English - Found the questions in the essays really good and feel really confident

French - Listening was ok (our teacher was so funni when she was trying to use expression in her voice Laughing out loud ), Reading was a bit iffy when comparing answers with other people but I shall see lol.

Geography - Found it strange how little we actually had to right but other than that very good. There were a couple of questions in the skills where i might have gone wrong.

Maths - Um yer, we will see

Chem/Phys & astronomy - Found it much better than I thought it would be. The last question in the physics one threw me a bit though :s

Bio is on thursday Smiling

Jemma 28 November, 2006 - 6:18pm

HELP! Explain to me the density and conductance of metals? I had NOOOO idea and i did 2 chem standards yesterday :S *wahs*

HI! YAY! YAY! ONLY ONE LEFT AND ITS MUSIC SO IT DOESNT COUNT, IM SO HAPPY!!!

Lol the whole being locked in a room thing was so casual we were like "Ae?" cause we just went to this little cottage next door to our school which we use as a classroom, and we got to like sit outside on the grass and stuff, and people from our year were walking past and we could have easily asked them for what was in the science exam but we're good girls Sticking out tongue History was alright apart from 2.5 was a bit mentuts. *nod* Annnd yesh thats all. WHEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Chem was ok - I stayed for all 3 hours.
And Econmics SUCKED. :'( Maybe it's 'cos I forgot to eat. Or 'cos I was tired. Or 'cos I looked at the first paper and didn't know a whole page and panicked. And I don't remember writing anything. :'( And people who were doing 5 papers left before me [I only did 3 papers]

:'(

jackass 27 November, 2006 - 4:26pm

I FORGOT TO STUDY ABOUT METAL PRODUCTIONS AND I HAVE TO LEAVE IN 10 MINUTES!! :'(

CuO + H2 --> Cu + H2O
[lab production]

Extraction of Iron Summary
Ore = Ironsand
Mineral = Titanomagnetite, or Fe3O4.TiO2

Ironsand dug up, then magnets used to extract mineral, then mineral is dried and called concentrate. Then its fed into a rotating kiln where Fe3O4 is reduced to iron by thecarbon monoxide gas produced in the kiln.

Fe3O4 + CO --> Fe + CO2

The Co2 produced can react with the coal to make more carbon monoxide
CO2 + C --> CO

Extraction of Aluminium Summary
Ore = bauxite
Mineral = Alumina, or AI2O3

*process too complicated to summarise properly*
Er ... Aluminium oxide precipitates out of some solution with Sodium hydroxide. Reduction from alumina to aluminium is done by electrolysis of molten alumina.

cathode - AI3+ ---> AI + 3e
anode - 2O2- --> O2 + 4e
Overall - 2AI2O3 --> 4AI + 3O2

*wail*
