Zakatu Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 My school prom's not until June 29th. But it's £15 a ticket. I might not go. But I want to! You say that like its expensive. Go on, you only have one "Prom" (or summer ball). You'll never get the chance again. £15 is very cheap as most balls go, so i would if i were you.

Roostophe Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 You say that like its expensive. Go on, you only have one "Prom" (or summer ball). You'll never get the chance again. £15 is very cheap as most balls go, so i would if i were you. It IS expensive! £15 is quite a bit to someone like me. I don't have a job or anything. Plus I'm from a working class family. What with bills and petrol prices going up we can't exactly afford everything! You're wrong about only one prom. There is also a 6th Form Prom at my school.

Guest Stefkov Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 ha, £15, i had to pay £20 for my prom. it was at the reebok stadium, the welcome punch wasnt the best (shite) and the food overall was pretty shite. and the glasses of coke. i a little half pint cost £1.50, so dont go moaning about £15 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfox Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I paid £11 for my leaver's do. It had a buffet and a Dj included. A pint was only £2 too. Winner. I also had a great night too - don't worry about the money - have some fucking fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakatu Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 From my perspective, £15 isn't too bad. Most balls i've been too/seen advertised are about £30 (with meal). The prices can also go up alot more that. I'm not someone with a lot of money (i'm a student...) but i'm just trying to say that £15 isn't too bad at all as balls go. When you consider this is a "once only" event, i think it would probably be worth it. People will leave your school, and two years time alot will have changed. Its up to you i guess. I'm guessing you buy a fair few games, considering you on this forum. Its not expensive compared to those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I'm gonna try and get a prom ticket. Problem is, they'll not allow certain people (the chavs that can't behave). But they'll probably won't allow me in because I have a short temper (and NOT Tourette's like that damn doctor diagnosed me with last year), and they'll probably think I'll cause some trouble!

Fields Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Well if we're going to bitch about prices, my June Ball this year is £205 per couple... But seriously guys, go to your leavers prom. You only get one chance and you might regret it otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stocka Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 So who's looking forward to good ol English lit in the morning? I was worried but am confident now as i've got round to doing a bit of revision for it, but I just know when I wake up in the morning i'll be nervous again.

The fish Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Oh god, the eng lit... Actually, I'm ok with the play and the poetry, just not the novel.. I say as long as you can get a point down for each mark, you should be ok. Btw, I did get a date for the prom!(Yay for me!!) It was a damn good prom too! Easily worth the £20, and I shall remember my year group through it. Good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 well done on the date. what books you all had to read for the English Lit. i had to read To Kill a Mockingbird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendork Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Our proms and balls were all £12-15. Most reasonable I'd say, unless you're a chick and 'need' a new dress each time and shoes to match their earrings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Ty Stekov, I'm my year's "lonley stylish batchelor", as one person descibed me ...I'm just too damn shy to ask anyone normaly, so I thought "What the hell!" on this occasion. I'm doing Lord of the Flies, it's good, as is kind of thought-provoking, but it's a bugger as an examination book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooInTheZoo Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Is the Lit paper about the novel? In my case the Crucible? See i never read that <shit!> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocka Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Is the Lit paper about the novel? In my case the Crucible? See i never read that <shit!> Haha gutted. Yes, I think the first hour you do an essay on the novel, and then second hour on the poems. I've been reading my novel [To Kill A Mockingbird] this week, didn't think I'd finish it but I did this morning thank god. Good luck Tobes;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonmike04 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Had a humanities exam today, only to find most schools wernt sent the source paper, including mine. So incredibly pissed off about it (read BBC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I just got back from my eng lit- I think it went...OK ish I read about that source paper fuck-up. That is really really not good, as some schools photocopied the paper and gave it out, so not everyone is in the same boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 well i did no revision, im in my schools learning resource centre and i have done my english Lit this morning. questions i answered were, poems: Convey how 4 poems show strong feelings throught(something along those lines) use Catrin and one from Heaney and 2 pre-1914 poems, so i did Sonnet and On my first sonne, then for my novel, to kil la mockingbird which i hadnt read since i did it in class like 2 months ago. the question i answered was, Harper lee shows courage in her novel, how does she do this? (again not perfect but something like that) so you just explain how she shows courage in the people in the novel. its nearly 1 and ive got amy IT exam then, so im doing nothing hehe.

Roostophe Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I did my English lit exam today (Higher Tier). Piece of piss! My novel was "Heroes" by Robert Cormier. I had to write what importance the character of Nicole Renard brings into the novel, I just wrote down about Childhood Innocence. Splashed through it, although I don't think I did as well in the poems. The English exams are most probably the easiest ones out the lot. poems: Convey how 4 poems show strong feelings throught(something along those lines) use Catrin and one from Heaney and 2 pre-1914 poems, so i did Sonnet and On my first sonne, I also did Heaney, Clarke and pre-1914. I did the question about how certain poems describe nature. I chose "Storm On The Island"; "Sonnet"; "A Difficult Birth: Easter 1998" and "Patrolling Barnegat". Not too shabby IMO.
