On Monday, the government announced that the A-level and GCSE examinations will be pushed back by three weeks –https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-54508851. This is not a sufficient amount of time to catch up on 5 months of missed school. The government needs a Plan B!
In my three extra weeks instead of ‘revising’ I am going to:
- sing happy birthday repeatedly and consecutively 181,440 times
- watch the film Pandemic on loop 328.7 times
- catch up on some sleep
- procrastinate for 10 hours, finally revise for 2 hours, eat and sleep for 12 hours. repeat
- listen to ‘I’m still standing’ by Elton John 9,969 times
- if I were to go on a mission to Mars, I would only get 7.6% through my journey (or 3.8%) before I’d have to turn around to take my exams)
- read the Great expectations by Charles Darwin roughly 49.5 times – though I am sure I’ll get bored of reading it by the third time
But one thing I cannot do is catch up on 5 months of missed school work 🙁
