Today marks the first day of the 'O' Level written papers! As expected, the first paper was quite easy, though Teck Tee feels it's slightly harder than that of recent years. Anyway, I haven't got anything wrong yet, I think. So I'm hoping I don't screw up Paper 2 on Thursday. For now, my main concern is Literature, even though that's on Wednesday. I think my Social Studies will be fine once I go through everything again tonight. Literature, however, is in quite a pathetic state right now, especially my Paper 2 text. Ace Paper 1, fail Paper 2? Damn, why can't we have more unseen questions, like one in each paper? Why can't the format of both papers be identical? I think the only question I'll do really badly for is the essay question for the short stories. The passage-based question is quite difficult to fail, I mean, the passage is there! At the very most, you screw up the second sub-question because you don't know the rest of that story. Just need to get through this first week, then everything will be fine! In other news, the Episcopal Church in America did consecrate the gay bishop. I say the odds are 50-50 that the Anglican Church will split over this incident. Prediction? The South American and African churches will engineer the split, but the European churches will protest. The Asian churches will support the Africans, but will not be as vocal in advocating a split. No idea what the Australian churches will do, but I think they'll just go along with whatever decision is made by the majority. As for the North American churches, they started this whole mess, they'll probably stick it out till the end, except for the conservatives. Of course, this is all my own speculation, and has absolutely no factual basis whatsoever, purely opinion. This ought to make studying Anglicanism a hell of a lot more interesting though...
