The incredible true story of the powers of Yoda Cat and his dominion over history exams.

So, after procrastinating constantly (I am the Queen of procrastination), and not revising for my History exam, I decided to use the force (see yesterday’s post), and hoped that the skills of Yoda Cat (aka Casper) would get me through the exam.

Read on, this is a good’un..

So, a bit of background info. I have an awful habit of reading in the bath. I can happily spend over an hour in the bath, reading whatever book/magazine takes my fancy.

Unfortunately, I also have an awful habit of dropping things in the bath. I have, on several occasions over the years, dropped two phones (who both sadly died shortly after) and countless books and magazines into the bath. These included one or two library books, and as you can imagine this was a rather awkward situation to explain to the librarian.

After the near-death experience of another phone, and the realisation that this was a rather expensive habit, I decided that one of my (many) New Years Resolutions was to stop taking all electronic items, and all library books, into the bath. Despite this, I do read my own books in the bath. You have to cut me some slack here.

Anyway, back to my exam and the force. I had procrastinated for the entire day before my exam (yesterday), and in the evening I decided to have a bath to soothe the self-inflicted pain of not knowing anything remotely historical related.

After my severe lack of revision I had a last-minute change of heart, and decided to take my history textbook, which was shamefully unfamiliar to me, into the bath. I thought I’d take a mahooooosive gamble and just revise one topic (out of 16) at random, and pray to Yoda that it would come up in the exam.

So, I randomly opened the book (in the bath) to the Liberal Social Reforms in the early 1900s, and read away for a good hour or so.

AND GUESS WHAT THE EXAM WAS ON TODAY.

Yep! The Liberal Social Reforms!!!

When I opened up the paper, I literally could not believe my eyes. What were the chances??

I guess I do seem to have incredible luck sometimes.. You can choose to believe this or not, but last summer I randomly guessed the room, weapon and person correct during a family game of Cluedo, on the very first turn of the game. However, I’ve never won the lottery. Hmm, I must be doing something wrong..

Seriously though, never risking an exam like that again though. The feeling of walking into the exam hall this morning was not pleasant. At all.

Ah well. No more exams til the end of May, then after that lot I’m all finished and set to go to Uni!

Anyway, glad I wrote that post yesterday and Yoda Cat came into being..

Here’s a photo of the adorable fluffball himself, nonchalantly licking his paw, seemingly unaware of his astounding powers..

Or perhaps it was a fluke.
