Revision Dodging

Right now, I have 26 hours until my next exam (Computing CP4), yet I am sat blog posting! What a mistake-a to make-a!

Anyway, I've now done 5 exams, and have another 8 left to go. Only 13 days left though! They do like to cram these exams into a nice small space of time!

Since I've finished school, I've discovered PKR - a 3D poker game that you play from your computer over t'internet against other people. It's quite addictive - and a very good waste of time! I came 112th out of 400 in a tournament last night, went all-in on a pair of Kings, the other bastard had a pair of Aces -.- Will be back in the tournament tonight, going to beat last nights record!

I've also discovered some more stuff, which I'll post about later today.

Right, who wants a game of Monopoly?!

May Ball

Just woken up after a rather epic night at the May Ball. I expected it to be a bit more emotional, since it is the last time we're going to see everyone, but as soon as the booze was flowing (at expensive rates!) I realised that wasn't true :P

Got a lift there in style (with Daves dad, same as for year 11 prom) and then Rick tried to emulate the prom some more by jumping into a bush... video's will be up later!

Food was crap considering what we paid (£37, for a slab of chicken!), and the DJ wasn't up to much at all!

Started calling in drinks from all kinds of people, got 2 free shots and at least 3 free cider's from various people, including Mr Hughes - you legend! I really couldn't afford much at £3.75 a pint! £3 for shots as well... more than twice the price you'll pay around Poynton!

Anyway, got in at about 2am, after trying to put my key into a wall. Doors are hard to work after a night drinking! Bit worse for wear this morning, but nothing a bit of revision won't fix! 19 days, 1 hour, 7 mins until I'm done with exams :-D Woop!

No more school... ever!

I have finally left that horrible school they call 'Poynton High'! Yay :-D

It's a weird feeling, knowing that I'll never have to go back to there for lessons, but I've waited long enough for this day to come!

We spent the day leaving our mark around the school (not graffiti, just some well placed pranks!), but I shall not post photo's for fear of incriminating myself 8-) What fun!

Celebrated with a nice weekend chillaxing with mates, and a trip out to Kings on Friday night, where it turned out that most of our year (past and present) had as well!

Only regret - not getting one of the PHS leavers hoodies, I'd never been told about them :-( I'll have to see if I can get one made up!

</logs>

I need to get better at this blogging lark, no updates in nearly a month! :-o

I have just got back from completing my Music Tech coursework logs. If anyone from AQA happens to read this - they're a waste of time! I've spent the last 2 days doing nothing but logs, and I bet they never get read. I hate examiners some times!

I've also got A2 exams next week. Eek! Maths C4 and Music Tech resit on Wednesday, and then Physics resit on Thursday. Can't wait...

Still, on the bright side - 32 days left until my last exam :-D Woop!

When will it end?!

This week is going to be another bad one!

Not got another free between now and Wednesday - including lunchtimes! They're taken up from now until Friday with doing Battle of the Bands in school! Damn Music Tech!!

Got a Cub meeting at the fire station tonight, should be entertaining... for the Cubs! Group leaders meeting on Wednesday night as well.

Oh, and on top of that I've got school, homework, coursework, the usual crap! Goodbye week!

This week...

I've been busy.

Monday brought a Music Tech day, with people from Huddersfield Uni coming in to talk to us about their course basically. Then some practical workshops, which were a bit useful, but not very! Could have spent the day better by doing my coursework. Which brings me on to...

Tuesday. Tech coursework. Managed to get Task 5 pretty much complete, but I bet that Slim MT will butcher it tomorrow! Did some more work on my Task 1 (multitrack), trying to get vocals to sound good. Don't think that'll happen! Came home and did some Maths work, what fun!

Wednesday (Tomorrow/Today). Tech coursework. Hopefully will get Task 1 and 3 complete, and then work on 4. Fingers crossed I may finish the coursework part of the course! Probably some Maths/Computing when I get back.

Thursday. Driving lesson + maybe cinema in the afternoon (if I can afford it!). Need to try and get a hair cut as well!

Friday. All day Computing/Maths/Physics.

Saturday. Some sort of Network workshop. No idea what it is, but its region-organised - so probably a load of bollocks. Hopefully will end up in a pub though!

Sunday. Cheshire Hike base with McNetwork. Going to be a fun day - that'll definitely end up in a pub!

Monday. In school for Computing probably.

And then its back to school

Goodbye holiday!

My life: update!

I'm annoyed at my computer right now. Are there any trojans going the round right now? :S My PC seems to slow to a crawl one minute, and then be fine the next :( I think its dying/infected - and either way I want rid of it!!!

Managed to get next draft of Physics coursework done this weekend - but then the bloody printer ran out of ink, and I've got none spare :( Have to wait for a Viking order to come through now!!! At least I've got an excuse for not doing Computing coursework though :D Hehe

I'm fed up of Poynton. That's enough said on the matter, although things are looking up slightly! School still blows though...

Thats about it for my life at the moment... interesting isn't it?!

Maths C3 != fun

Just got back home after the Maths C3 exam - SO GODDAMN HARD!

I couldn't do half of the questions, and hence don't have very high hopes :(

Brilliant confidence booster for the Physics resit in 43 mins - eeek!

Lack of blogging

Well, you can all imagine why I've not been blogging much recently... I've got an iPhone!

Yes, almost 1 year to the day of it being announced at Macworld - I hold in my hand the epitome of cool.

The adverts really can't show it at all, its an awesome bit of kit, only got a few complaints:

• No multiple texts
• No MMS
• Headphone jack
• Home button
• Applications "crash" to the home screen quite often

Most problems should be fixed with the 1.1.3 update, however, which hopefully is out next week, being announced at MacWorld!

Anyway, back to life...

Got exams this week, had Maths C2 yesterday (went okay, thought of an answer as soon as I left the hall though :( there goes 5 marks). Got Physics resit and Maths C3 tomorrow - fun. I intend to have a fun time at Nic's party tomorrow evening though - I may not make it home!

Handed in my Physics coursework, a month before I had to :o! I'll wait and see if it comes back though, teacher's still had my last piece for 3 months without marking it -.-

I'm rather depressed about going back to school, would much rather be off to Uni tomorrow!

On the subject of Uni - I've had offers from Kent, Nottingham and Edinburgh so far, and have interviews at York and Durham! Kent want me to visit though, which means a 6 hour journey on the train just to get there :( May have to drive... somehow!

Procrastination

May sound dirty... look it up!

Really don't know how I can put off Physics revision much longer... I want to do it, but don't know how!

Found a Physics tutor, friend of the family... hopefully will improve my grades for the exam this time around!

Did the Maths mock during my free day (what a way to spend it...), found it incredibly hard!

Anyone found a way to freeze time yet?

Life at 23:38

Right now, nothing - NOTHING - is going my way.

Relative died today, wasn't a huge shock, but still wasn't really a nice thing to have. RIP.

Physics isn't proving to be much of a laugh. Resits are now 1 month away - eek.

FsPortal is currently suffering due to all of this.

I've had to leave Bristol-ATC because of too much other personal stuff around.

I don't think now is a good time to be me! Boy I can't wait to actually escape Sixth Form and get away to do something I actually enjoy!

3 nights running...

Tonight will be the 3rd night of consecutive drinking!

2 Xmas concerts... needed a drink after that, and off to Nic's tonight I believe!

Still looking forward to a weekend of actual work though :(

Anyway, Christmas concerts were as crap as usual. Last night had less than half the seats filled, I recon there were less in the audience than in the performers put together! Why do they make us suffer every year?!

Still nothing from UCAS, although Edinburgh and Durham have sent me correspondence saying they basically won't give offers until January... keep me waiting why don't you!!!

Food poisoning - Tech style

So here's the story so far:

Had Music Tech period 3 today, right before lunch. We happened to have a bass set up and mic-ed with 20 mins to run before lunch, and no-one was using them... so in I jump!

Get Ric on the bass, and started recording for one of my coursework pieces. 20 mins later we're just getting into it, so Dom goes off down to poynton pantry and returns with a cheeseburger for me. "Excellent!" I thought, "No need to go out for lunch, just carry on recording!".

Then I started on the burger in question. Safe to say it tasted rather crap. In fact, I'm pretty sure crap was one of the main ingredients. However, I ate it anyway.

Get to Maths period 4, and slowly but surely I start feeling immensely ill. Not even a little bit, utterly and completely ill. Like said crap is eating my insides.

Managed not to puke on my book, and now I'm home writing this.

Now... do I take tomorrow off school and miss a lot of work, or go in and hope to hell I don't hurl on a teacher?!

Things I Hate right now

• Webhosting UK Live Support
• FTP
• Firewalls
• BT Home Hubs
• iPhones (cause they're expensive)
• School
• Coursework

I may update this when I start liking/hating more things.

Wasted weekend

And not in the sense that I was wasted.

Spent all of Saturday doing Maths homework, and then all of Sunday doing various bits of coursework. I think its fair to say that I'm pretty peeved.

FsPortal is nearing release, only 27.5 days left until it gets unveiled to the public... and yet I can't spend my time on it!!! I'm losing out on revenue! And you know I need the money if I'm to get my hands on one of those iPhones. Damn you Steve Jobs.

Anywho... back to the same old monotony for another 7 days. I may just have to start a countdown until I leave this awful school and finally start to live again.

Still... 21 days until Family Guy, and a few less until Halflife 2: Ep2 (which I have ordered :D Before I realised I needed the money elsewhere :( Ah well)

I have a fairly crap day at school tomorrow. 2*Physics, 1*Maths and 1*Tech. Probably no blog tomorrow... will be too busy screaming into pillows. Seems to be a regular occurrence now. Who the hell is responsible for this timetable?!?!?!

Too much work, too little play

This is getting ridiculous... 3+ hours of Maths homework (not even vitally important stuff), 2+ hours of Computing coursework for next Friday, couple of hours needed on Personal Statement asap...

When am I supposed to breathe again?

Oh yeah, and I've got classes. Lovely.

My Day

Now the HL2 rant is over... more about me :D

My day was crap! Started off with a couple of okay Music Tech lessons, went downhill with Computing theory, and then double Maths finished me off.

I actually came home and screamed into a pillow at the end. 2 * Maths just isn't meant to happen.

Fortunately, it only happens until middle of October, when I get to go and sit in with Year 12 lessons. Whoopee. Plus Taylor is now threatening to join them as well. Whoopee * 2.

(I know its hard to tell sarcasm over the net. So here's a hint. That was sarcasm -.-)

Anyway, got home, lost my Clarinet (hoping its somewhere in Music... fingers crossed), found out that I killed the FsPortal server already (not really... but you know!) and then played HL (see earlier post).

Now I'm off to bed, just to get up tomorrow and do it all again.

Should I start counting down the days until I am released from the horrors of college? May be sad enough to work it out one lesson...

College Blues

Figured out today that I really really don't like what's coming up with Music Tech this year, but don't want to drop it, because the classes are amazing. What do I do?

Oh and the one girl I'd finally got with after 3 years went off with another guy and then somehow turned it round on me. That was nice.

So yeah, nice day. At least I get a lie in tomorrow.

Not heard much?

Hi guys,

You've not heard a lot from me recently, because I've been waaaay too busy for you all :D

I've just got this "Windows Live Writer" thingy... and thought I'd test it out on here!

Just to keep you all up to date, I'm back from Jambo, back from Summer camp, and back to school!

School seems rather depressing, since I still have the same amount of frees as last year, and still got all the bad teachers. Lovely.

Anywho, FsPortal is progressing well, over 90% completed at the moment, and I'm aiming to get it released this side of Christmas ;o

Thats enough excitement for now... catch you later!

Exam tomorrow :|

Okay... now I'm scared

Next exam: T-15 hours

Eeek!

And then after that, I've got to come home and prepare for a 3 hour physics exam.

Man, I love school so much!
