So, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D

So, I just beat this game, and it was awesome. Being one of those 15 year old (16 in a month) who has never touched an N64 other than what he has downloaded on Virtual Console, I've never played the original. And what have I missed out on? A ton.
Let me start by saying this game is amazing, if a little easy. I guess that's what Master Quest is for. The puzzles were nowhere near as hard as the Majora's Mask counterparts, and I only needed the Sheikah Stone for the Water Temple and the troll Forest Temple. Because those two were absolute pains in the ass.
Anyway, the 3D is amazing, though I wouldn't advise using it for too long, it can strain your eyes, like a lot. I only used it for the cool cutscenes and boss battles. I highly advise you play this game whether you played the original or not. It's greatmazing.

So, exams.

You know those things. Those looming dooming glooming terribad things that await your presence? No, I'm not talking about rapists, I'm talking about exams. Usually they're work a good chunk of your mark, for myself it's 30%. They can be stress inducing, especially when they're rarely talked about and suddenly they start in a week. Eep.
The fortunate thing is, exemptions exist. Well, sometimes they do. They can exists in many forms, such as "You can exempt an exam if your mark is over X in that class." or "You can choose 1 exam to exempt if you have missed less than Y classes in the semester." If exemptions didn't exist I'd probably be a very sad child/teenager/person thing.
In my area English 11 and Math 11 can't be exempted because they lead up to the dreaded grade 12 Provincials. Even though a ton of advanced students (such as yours truly) take the Math Provincial a year early. I heard it's brutal, because it's on just about everything ever. However, Pre-Calculus and Calculus can be exempted for some reason. Probably because they're immensely difficult or something.
So, blog readers, I ask you. Whats your take on exams? Awesome mark booster? Hideous thing that must be loathed? Or something in between?
