I'm doing extra GCSEs (in UK exams taken at age 16) in three subjects; some kind of maths, literature, and another unknown subject.

The first exam is really stressful, i get stuck on a simulataneous equation, running out of time, panic. The exams are badly invigilated there is loads of talking, people smoking etc. i make a point of not messing around. Exam hall is on a virgin train which is travelling at the same time.

During the second exam the invigilators disappear and forget to collect the papers, i've hardly started mine because of all the noise. i then discover i'm only meant to answer 3 of 6 questions instead of all of them.

The deadline to hand in the papers is 11pm. I'm finishing the paper sat on a park bench in greenhead park in the centre of Huddersfield. One of the questions is about Underworld, a book i'm currently reading in real life.

I try to hand in the paper at my old Secondary School (UK, age 11-16), but it is getting late.....and then i wake up.......
