School tomorrow

See Baka, i do update. ^_^

I've got to get up. Before 10 tomorrow. This could be.... ummm... interesting.... especially as i haven't for 10 days. My body clock is fried, and that's without the clocks going back this morning.

Let's see, I've got maths and biology coursework to hand in, a supposed biology mock test thing on everything we've done so far this year, that should be fun(!), oh, and i should get my psychology coursework back to re-do. So if anybody is wondering, i'm not going to have a social life for about the next millennia. Ok, that may be an over exaggeration, but meh.

Wow, it's less than two weeks until dad gets his new house. Started packing stuff today. it's wired. Half of my books have been packed up. My books fit on my bookshelf! And that includes the bottom shelf being full of school stuff. So actually, all of my books fit on two shelves. That has never happened before. Got all my video's packed up aswell, so all that is left of the messy bottom shelf of my wardrobe is all of my DVDs, which fit nicely in a line.

This whole moving thing is really beginning to hit me now. Ah well. i'm off to do yet more work, followed by yet more packing.

Washing machines

Well, today is going to be fun. I get to spend the day in the house waiting for a new washing machine to arrive. wOOt. Aint you all so jealous?! Still, it could be worse. I mean, at least today I wont have to keep Judi and Mark from killing each other because she has gone out for the day. WooHoo! So I get to spend the day doing coursework. Well, at least one teacher can't kill me for not doing any work when I go back to school.

Ok, Washing machine dudes have just turned up, we now have the new washing machine... in the middle of the kitchen, which means that we can't get to the hob.... hmmm, guess we're going to have something ovenbaked tonight.

Oh, going to the football match tonight. Ok, so that was random, but for me this is a big deal. I NEVER go to football matches. Ever. But I'm going through a phase of trying out new stuff, so I figured I'd give it a go. Ok, so we're only playing Norwich, but at least it's a team I've heard of, unlike the last time I was offered to go, which was when we were playing... some team from... some country..... Yeah...

Ah well, better get on I suppose.

What I've been up to

Ok, i realsie that i haven't updated for about a week... *whistles quietly to self*
Let's see, what have i been up to for the last week? On Thursday i met up with Mamo-chan, and then we ran into Ryu for the first time since her getting her hair cut... and OMG!!! It looks INCREDIBLE! Okl so my initial reaction was a little different, but in my defence, in all the years I've known her, that is the shortest I've ever seen her have her hair. It's shorter than my mum's hair, and i didn't think that that was comprehensible.

Friday i spent most of the day doing nothing. Which i haven't been able to do for a while, and it was such a good feeling.

Saturaday, i went food shopping. i was actually up in time to be offered to go. And you have to understand, we're talking about 9.30 on a Saturday morning, i didn't even reaslise that there were 2 10 o'clocks on a Saturday, never mind 2 9.30's! Also helped mum strip wallpaper in her study. And i started the HUGE task of Blitzing my room. Which it actually needs. Within 2 1/2 hours, i had filled 2 bin bags of Junk! it's amazing to think that i have so much stuff in my room. then i had a party in the evening, which wasn't the best party I've been to, but it was still a party.

Sunday was fun, as i spent the most part of the day finishing blitzing my room. It's now tidy. I didn't realsie that room's came in "tidy". Also started sorting out what stuff is going to which house, which, considering it's only about 2 1/2 weeks till dad gets the house isn't a bad idea. Went to the cinema in the evening and met Dash, a mate of Ryu's from Kendo. And he achieved the imossible: He is more crazy than i am, and for people who know me, they will say how crazy i am. I thought i was the worst it could get, but apparently it can go worse.
Went to see Resident Evil, and considering i haven't palyed any of the games, and therefore basically had no idea what was going on, i managed to keep up with it OK. But i felt that some of it was a little predictable. For those who haven't seen it but are planning to, i wont say anything more.
Before hand, we went to Matt's place, so we spent about 20 minutes wandering around the town, which isn't normally a big deal, except the heavens had decided to unleash about a years worth of rain in those 20 minutes. I don't think i have ever been that wet in that short amount of time when i wasn't at a theme park. So after just about drying out, we have to walk back to the gate, and just as we step outside to find it has stopped raining, it starts again. I was not amused.

Yesterday i spent about 4 1/2 hours just walking around. In boots. And OMG, did my feet hurt after that! And the reason i went out in the first place to to top up my phone, but the service was down, so i basically spent the time wandering around for nothin. But i met up with friends, so it wasn't so bad. And then, in the evening, my siblings had deviced a quiz for me and parents. which wsa sorta fun, but took forever to do. We started at 9 and didn't finish till after 10, and considering i had only had about 3 hours sleep, i was a little knackered after that. So hello hypersomnia, how i've missed you. Got up this morning at about 11, after going to bed at 10.30ish. 12 1/2 hours straight sleeping. And now I'm writing this before i start on my coursework. Oh yeah, just because i have this week off doesn't stop the teachers giving me a tonne of work to do!

So that's it. My kinda long update, and you're still reading. I am impressied! Well, better go, sis is nagging for the computer. Can't wait till i get my laptop, only 5 weeks to go.

very quick update

Last day of the half term today! I get 11 days holiday, starting at 2. thank god for Wednesday's!
yesterday i finally finally finished by psychology coursework1 About time too, i mean, it's only taken me about 18 weeks! gah! that was a long time. Still, it means that i can spend the half term... working on my other coursework. Ah well, at least it's one suject down. Now all io have to do it wait till i get it back to redo it!

Hmmm, got an assembly this afternoon, isn't it great? Oh the joys of UCAS blah blah blah, uni blah blah blah, personal statement balh blah blah, deadlines blah blah blah. The same stuff over and over again. Still, it means that i cant get told about them for, ohhh, 11 days. Except off parents. Who WILL go on and on about it. I can see it now.

Decided that i'm not going to town on Thursday, as i don't really feel up to spending the day with poeple who i have seen everyday for the last 8 weeks. i want a BREAK! Ah well, better go and hand in the psych.

Quick Update

Well, let's see... Please be warned that i am writing this on about 12 hours slepp from the past 3 days, and i am a little knackered! i don't know why i haven't been sleeping... msut be something to do twitht the stress i'm under from both home and school life.

Anyway...
Went over to Walnut's on Saturday and saw disc 3 of z.O.E and disc one of Hack. can't wait till i get disc 2, as i am really getting into it. So yet again Walnut managed to get me into yet another anime series, much to the hoorror of my family, as now it seems to be all that i talk about... apparantly.

Ohhh... party in 4 days! taking Judi as the person i was going to take had other plans, and can't make it. Never mind. it should still be a blast. knowing her, she'll manage to guilt even more people into getting here a present, doing the whole "it was my birthday last week" thing.

Finally got the final touches for mycostume, now all i have to do is to work out how long it is going to take me to get ready, so i can plan out what i'm doing on Saturday.

So i've got town with Larna and co. on Thursday; dentist on Friday; party on Saturday; and cinema on Sunday... Man, all next week i'm going to be sleeping...assuming i can actually get to sleep... mind you, i'll probably be so zonked it will be a miricle for me to stay awake.

Well, i'm off now to finish off coursework due in for tomorrow. Ain't my life grand?
keep posting on this and stuff... It's like no-body reads this!

#I'm all alone, there's no-one here beside me# heh... sorry. SHrek flashback. Gotta love donkey!

I am NOT amused!

Told you i'd be back! Turns out my search was fruitless, as i have yet to find someone who speaks like my sister. Anyway...

I got a letter off my dad's solicitor today asknig me to fill in a "contract of mortgage" or whatever it's called. Basically, it's a form that i have to sign witnessed by an adult so that the building society will give my dad the mortgae for the new house. Which is fine. I signed it and got it all sorted out.... the only thing is, the letter was the first thing that i knew about having to sign anything. I had not been told by my dad that i would have to be involved with any legalisation of him getting the house. They say ignorance is bliss.... not true!

In other news, the stupid maths lesson has come and gone. And i had to get up infront of the class, (all 4 of them!) and do the teachers job for him. I wonder if they pay by cash or check?

At least i get out of this place at 1 today.. Going shopping for the final touches for my outfit for the party. wOOt!
Ah well, off to the joys of work i go.

maths teachers

Oh my god! i have a 15 year old sister... I'm old!
(and i'm hating this space bar on this PC, it's really heavy and clacky!)
She seems to be good at getting presents though... even got some of MY friends into getting her something, which, OK, is nice and all, but still, it's a little wired from where i am.

Anyway... I am currently hating one of my maths teachers. Just beacuse the deputy head is going to be in the class DOES NOT mean that he can get us to teach the class!! Teach us yourself! That's what they pay you for isn't it?! It wouldn't be so bad if we all had to do something, but only half the calss has to... Tomo-chan doesn't because according to him, "Nobody will be able to hear her if she tried to explain anything"... We have microphones, right?! Problem solved!!!



Oh, got my outfit sorted out for a halloween party that i'm going to in 9 days. Decided to go as Wednesday, and acording to the sister, i look "wicked cool" (who speaks like that these days? I mean, seriously!)

*goes in search for people who speak like that.* I shall be back! Make no mistake!

maths and family

Fun maths lesson today. i know what you're all thinking... maths? fun? But it was... as i found thta the homework that no-one could do was also a challenge for the teacher... and he's got a maths degree! So how he expected us lowly people to do it is beyond me.

Do you know what you get if you add up all the numbers from 1 to 100? We spent about 10 minutes in maths trying to work it out. i get home, ask my 12 year old brother, who answers me in 10 seconds! I mean, where is the fairness in that?! (incase you wanna know, the answer's 5050)

Of course, i asked him this after i found him from losing him at the shops... so i'm walking home freaking out, and he's walking home about 3 minutes after me without a care in the world! I swear, even if i have to buy it myself, i am getting that guy a phone!

Tomorrow is going to be so fun! The sister's birthday. Which meand that i have to GET UP before 7... on the 1 day a fortnight that isn't a weekend day that i get a lie in! She has taken my lie in away from me! Tis not fair!!

Sense and Sanity

Finally it seems that someone out there is taking pity on me, and is trying to sort out the complete mess that is my life. Which is good, as it means that my remaining "sanity" is going to be able to survive, oh at least the next 10 minutes, until something else happenes that makes me think that i'm going to go insane.

But hey, it could be worse... i mean i could still be as confused as i was yesterday, which was actually pretty confused. Still, today's a new day, fresh start and all that. Apparently. Still seems the same as every other Tuesday morning here... Dark, grey and dismal.

Still, i suppose it could be worse, it could be raining. Or drizzling, which is far worse than rain, as it just lies in the air, and yet stil gets you even more wet than a terrential downpour. So anyway, on i go to the joys of work! Ain't i soooooo lucky?!

Shopping and stuff

Well, at the weekend i went shopping with my dad so that he could buy me new stuff for my new room that i'm going to get in about 5 weeks time. Anyway, i feel pretty pleased with myself, as i managed to spend £900 of his money... and that's just me! I don't actually know how much he spent overall this weekend... except a lot! But it means that i am going to have a bed and some furniture in my new room... yay me!

The thing is, i got a little upset about doing all of this, so i was a little stressed.... ok, being truthful here i was a lot stressed, but didn't actually realise just how stressed i was until i blew up over nothing. it was completely stupid i know, but i did. And now i feel kinda freaked out about how much i freaked. Tis wired.

So yeah... that's me done for now... I'm off to listen to Michelle Branch at loud volume. Who needs hearing anyway?!

Snails and sorry's

I went to the beach a couple of days ago for my coursework field trip, and i spent the whole day trudging up and down said beach looking for snails on seaweed to see if snails like seaweed... Do you know what?... Snails like seaweed!!!!!
Bet you didn't know that did you?!
And now i get to spend the next couple of days trying to find out WHY snails like seaweed! Ain't i soooo lucky!

Been a little depressed recently, mainly because the garage is now full of things that dad is taking when he moves out. So that, on top of siblings who cant stay in the same room as each other, and a bit of guy trouble, means i haven't been in the best mood recently, so if i have upset anyone i am sorry.

And one of these days i am going to learn how to spell to stop me having to keep editing these posts!

Anyway, back to the joys of looking at reasons for snails liking seaweed i go.
Oh the joys of being me....

Life and all its complexity

Why is everything in life so damn complicated? I mean, you think that you finally, finally get something, and then life turns around, decides that no way no how are you allowed to understand that, and suddenly you're back at square one!

But on the up side, going to walnuts for a Pretear marathon tonight with Kal, who i haven't seen in ages. And then going to the cinema with people tomorrow, so at least that part of my life is semi-normal... Yep, that's right, i'm going to the cinema again! And i have... hmmm... mothballs in my pocket. woo hoo. *bounces around*

So that will mean i will have seen everybody from school last year except Sparkie and Baka in the space of 3 days. i ran into everyone else in the space of one hour on wednesday... which was fun, as hadn't seen them in ages.

Speaking of woo hoo and bouncing around... i got my provisional licence today! That's right, run and hide, for chibi can now legally learn to drive... and all the other people have to suffer the consequences HEE HEE HEE!!!

BEWARE THE CHIBI!!
