The Judge, I suspect it's easy for you to say that because GCSE's and A-Levels are behind you and now seem in the past and unimportant. They're in the past for me as well, and obviously seem quite distant compared to finals, but even so if I hadn't got the grades that I did back then, I wouldn't even be here right now.
Sorry if this seems a little harsh, just put it down to the stress of revision.
I actually didn't take the A-Levels that long ago. I did well as did all my friends and peers. They were simply too easy in my honest opinion. I am not a genius by any means nor are a lot of people I know and yet we all did damn well. I just don't feel that they hold as much value because of this. Obviously I wouldn't be where I am without them but that still doesn't add to their relative value to my own standards simply because of that. All national exams are important in some respect or another but in my own eyes they have been devalued. And I'm sorry but what has happened to the curriculum? Some of the subjects on offer are an absolute joke.
But well I guess we're all kinda going a bit off topic :wink:. The game I am now playing is called 'would you rather' with my friend. Basically you give somebody two choices and they HAVE to choose one.
Would you rather never love or never be loved?
Would you rather have your right hand cut off or never have sex again?
Would you rather be caught taking drugs or having sex by your parents?
Would you rather be blind or deaf?
They don't necessarily have to be dark questions and do not have to be so controversial (i.e the last one perhaps) but they can provoke interesting debates if they are. There are some damn good questions you can ask. Try it
