gollark: Writing pages upon pages of random nonsense to express something like a paragraph of content is very unpleasant.
gollark: I once wrote a 750-word essay on a poem which was 6 lines long.
gollark: A-level is hopefully going to be better, since I actually get to pick subjects I like and people who are bad at them won't be doing them.
gollark: Maths is good, though - my maths set has a really good teacher and we do (well, did when school was running) interesting and challenging stuff a lot of the time without repeating the same topic over and over again.
gollark: English is awful because we mostly overanalyze literature and write essays and stuff, but we did writing one time and that was fun.
