where is far far away land? (: far far away!

Source A:
anyway I'm listening to lots more music now since I gotta mug for exams, and I've recently burned this cd with the songs Joanne (yes thanks! who says I don't do acknowledgements? (:) ! english exam is on monday. you know what, heard adele and I were the only ones in class who got high distinction for the NSW EL test, but then it's no real comfort, because my whole thing might turn out to be a gamble like last year. how???? last year wrote loads and loads of sugar(trademark mackintosh!) about meeting muhammad ali, and was more a descriptive essay of HIM rather than about the meeting, which I think was quite 离题 actually, but apparently, was really lucky the teacher marking happened to actually like it. paul tan said was a gamble that paid off, because in all honesty, I didn't really know what I was talking about. (haha and RUMOUR has it that it was the essay that got mrs ng mui eng impressed with me. WELL, at least through inference from various sources, both primary and secondary, I was able to come to that conclusion. AGH LOVE HISTORY!) somehow think I'm losing the knack of writing descriptive. used to be able to do it so effortlessly in primary school, because it didn't even seem contrived. so natural... sigh. how? haha. I'd cringe if I had to read my muhammad ali essay again. haha. WHAT TO DO NOW? can I just cross my fingers and hope that I'll be just as lucky as last year? but isn't that the bad thing to do? haha. I'm scared that if I say that I'm a lucky person that it'll jinx it. but I am! ok! I think I've got enough luck to overcome that jinx.
should I write an argumentative then? or narrative? firstly, because I'm not bad at humanities, maybe can draw from hist and geog to do an arg. essay, but I've got no passion for it! I mean, I've got a real passion for history, but that's because of all the interesting things we study. I think an argumentative essay for language arts could be dull. yeeeeep. hate to write dull things. haha you know what james tan(201 form) says? in his marker's report for last year he said that the candidates' 'casual' style has it's inherent charm (as compared to rigid academic style) - not direct quotation, but he said something to that effect. just must avoid being overly colloquial, even though I don't do it most times, might still do it. OK, am I being a bit too concerned about my EL exam? usually I'm not, but I feel like I need to ace this, so I can pull up my maths marks. also because I've never really seen english as something I'd really be passionate about, and maybe it's time I took it more seriously. maybe. hahahah. STILLL LOVE HISTORY BETTER! NO ONE AIN'T GONNA TAKE MY HISTORY BABY AWAY! ooooh look what's happened to my grammar.

(: today I did my skipping and my resistance band! just some light work to stay sharp during exam period. ok gotta go bathe! then can go study somemore. I LOVE YOU.

(how far is source A useful in showing that the author loves history?)
