2nd Day of Songkran.

Thought I'd get the quiz done before drunk/hungover.

Fri 5/10 lucky to get that.

My wee girl Skye. Her first Songkran

Guess-heavy 7 for Friday.

Bit of a shock over the Camus question.  If they re-mark my Higher English paper I may be downgraded to a B.

Funny enough. I never made to higher level. However, I somehow fluked a B in my standard grade. I remember walking into the exam with a ice cream and thinking Im  doing f**k all with this (remindual student). Then a question came up about writing a past experience. Right down my street, spelling was away to f**k as always, but was commented on my story telling and structure...

Was also very good for the yearly speak contest, never a school winner but always hands down the class specialist.

To this day I carry that nak of either a true or made up story can come out me at any time. Greatest bedtime story teller I've ever ken't.

Genuine question. Why were you talking about Camus in an English lesson? I did Camus for French A-Level. Not that it did me any bloody use, as I got the answer wrong, along with quite a few others.

Your spelling and punctuation are shit, btw, but you're absolutely right.  Everyone loves a storyteller and warms to little anecdotes.  Human interest does interest we humans.

My 20 yo - aside from finishing her Honours dissertation - has a presentation for a 12-month paid internship next month.  I was telling her exactly that.  "Make it memorable, make it personal and weave in a couple of anecdotes'.  She's still a sceptic but, on this point, I'm right!

Love the pic of yer own wee yin, btw.  She's a wee smasher.

It was a bit of an attempt (and rightly so) at an integrated curriculum.  We had The Stranger (although I'm pretty certain it was called The Outsider when we read it) and The Plague as Higher English set texts and L'Étranger as a Higher French text.

Can't speak for what you did in your Basturd English A-Levels, though.  And clearly, it did me no good as I got the quiz Q wrong.
