good luck!!
Thanks! Looking through the past papers there's been no essay questions on marxism since 2004 so fingers crossed that will come up. If i get an essay question on marriage or divorce, i'm screwed lol.
How many questions you got to answer, and whats the exam for alevels/uni?
A Levels; had four short answer questions and two essay questions, to do in an hour. Just not long got back, and after grinning like a twat while reading the question (Marxism actually came up! ) i had too much to write and actually found myself out of time half way through the last paragraph of evaluation! So i'm not too sure about how well I've done . I think i've done well but at the same time i'm pessimistic .
I did some evaluation but not sure i got many of the ao2 marks, i managed to evaluate marxism in positive light compared to functionalism and i criticised Engels but i just come on to saying how it may be too negative and critical. Just started a sentance to mention that feminists would say it overlooks patriarchy to focus on capitalism but as i wrote the word 'Many' ...PENS DOWN!!
I felt worse about the mock we did before xmas that i didn't revise for, but getting the marks back i got a B with 3 marks from an A but still, the logic of pessimism says that it's under different circumstances with higher pressure and i shouldn't get my hopes up for an A and then end up with something shit lol!

i change day to day, sometimes i wake up thinking i really cant be arsed, but other days I can't wait to get up and do stuff. Generally i'm becoming more of an optimist than I used to be, which I think is a good thing.

oh my god, so your family is just as perceptive as you are!
yeah, something's gotta be bad if you can't find something good about it, you nailed it, no wonder faust thinks you're bright!
and do they have come to know they need to change your diapers when you stink? or it's just the elders who hold that knowledge?

I consider myself a "realist".
If the glass was being emptied, then its half empty.
If were being filled, its half full.
Life is what it is. Stuff happens, stuff doesn't happen. Whatever.
