Purgatory - Getting ready to enter Hell. Or maybe I'm already in it?

"You have escaped damnation and made it to Purgatory, a place where the dew of repentance washes off the stain of sin and girds the spirit with humility. Through contrition, confession, and satisfaction by works of righteousness, you must make your way up the mountain. As the sins are cleansed from your soul, you will be illuminated by the Sun of Divine Grace, and you will join other souls, smiling and happy, upon the summit of this mountain. Before long you will know the joys of Paradise as you ascend to the ethereal realm of Heaven."

Well, I got that from http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-test.mv. The first time I took it, I was in the 5th level. Second time however, I ended up in the first level of Hell. So what does that mean, I went down 4 levels? O.o Well anyway apparently i worship Pagan beliefs. Cool. In a way I do, I guess...check it out if you've never seen it before. It's fun. Mrs Hatia, my English lit lecturer, however would keel over reading that though XD

Anyway. History Paper 1 is finally over...and my reaction when i first read the questions was 'OMG! OMG! OMG! AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!". Despite that, I still managed to write TEN WHOLE PAGES. Honestly, I am surprised at the amount I wrote, considering the fact that knew almost nothing. Which probably means that I was repeating myself. Again and again and again. I didn't bother to double-check it, I just wrote whatever that came into my mind, and holy cow, ten pages of nonsense. I'm in shock, and in denial. Surely I didn't write that much? Because, sincerely, my mind was blank. Maybe my hand had a life of it's own. Or maybe I was ranting, like what I'm doing now. If that's the case, I'm in big trouble then! And my handwriting was huge, uneven and messy. With lots of crossouts. Darn it.

Oh and I have no idea why I did question 2. I didn't even understand it! Policies of King Louis XVI? What policies??!! As far as I know, he did nothing. And that's the only thing I kept writing about. Him doing nothing. And him getting executed in the end. Does that answer the question? I don't think so. 5 1/2 paragraphs of that. Hah. Brilliant. That means one question screwed. The other 3? I can't remember what I wrote. The only thing that I could answer was the source base question. And even that I don't think I answered correctly. For those people who think length means everything, trust me, it's not. I've seen people writing about half of what i wrote, and they have better results than me. And I can assure you that I repeated myself. Great. I am really screwed then.

On the bright side, there's a 5 day break before the next paper, Lit Paper 4. Dramas. Thank god it's not poems! Cos I really dislike poems. I don't understand poems, and I don't want to understand them either. But I have to, at least for paper...5? GAH I don't even know what paper that is!
