updateness

an this would be so much easier if i was allowed to update at school. But hey, i've got the chance to do so now, so i will.

Let's see, not wanting to sound too pessimistic and moany, but the biology exam on Monday totally sucked! I swear, over half the paper wasn't even on module 5, it was all sypnotic stuff. Which is OK for the most part... except we haven't finished module 4, meaning that some of the quesions were nigh on impossible to do! Ok, we were told that there was a cahnce that photosynthesis would be on the paper, but we were told that we wouldn't need it in any depth, just the basic outline. I'm sorry, but being asked about the light dependent reaction, and then the function of to products from that reaction in the light independent reaction is not a brief outline. It is in fact vey indepth stuff... that we haven't really done yet. So there's about 6 marks gone aready. And ok, that doesn't seem muh, but that can be the difference of a whole grade on that paper!

anyway... Have found out news about Ryu and Kamo, and respectively informed his wild duckness that is very happy for them! And speaking of relationships... is it bad when your ex boyfriend starts to get all flirty with you after they've fancied your friend for a while? Because i'm kinda thinking it's wired. And 'm a little freaked out, and WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!!! *is really realy confused!*

Hmmm, must finish Baka's letter and get that sent some time this week. When i get a spare moment... other than this. hmmm, tink that's it for now. Course if i think of something to say i'll update later. Ah well. That's it for now.

It is done

I swaer i checked the "remember me" box. Stupid machine. Hey, two updates in one day, Baka will be pleased.

I have short hair. Ok, its not as short as i was planning to get it cut, its just about shoulder length, but this will make many a person happy, as they were threatening to hurt me if i got as much cut as i wanted. So to make up for the length, i have had it layered, shaped, and had some fairly discrete highlights put in. I say fairly discrete, as its not "OMG! You've had highlights!" its more the shade my hair goes when the sun gets on it. And according to my mum, it makes me look really mature and sophisticated. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Then went window shopping for prom dresses. Found a really really nice one, for *cough*£150*cough*, so i'm trying to get parents to at least contribute to the price. Apparently mum is going to try to sweet talk dad with the whole "It's been really hard on her, it would mean alot to her, its the only one she'll get al highschool" type thing. Should be fun to see the results.

I am currently hating January. Do you know what's worse than wndow shopping? Window shopping in sales, and knowing thta you still can't buy anything, dispite basically every shop having some sort of sale. I hate owing people money, cos even if i didbuy something, i would feel guilty cos i should have paid the people back first. M'eh.

Man, i really got to leave my hair alone. And clip it back. i hate that it's only just reaching behind my ears, and if i move even slighhtly froward it comes lose and over my face again, but hey, i like the overall thing, so i'll forebare.

I was asked by Rob if i had shrunk today! The complete and utter cheak, especially as I'm taller than him. Was NOT amused, to say the least. I mean, i know i'm small and everyhting, but to suggest that i had Shrunk?! That's taking it too far! Am i wrong?

Oh, going to dad's Friday, which should be fun, especially as he didnt now that i was getting my hair done, which i'm sure i mentioned before, but hey, i'm mentioning it again.

Ah well. I think i'll go and browse around.

General update

Ok, I know I said that I would be doing a review of the year thing like everyone else has, but the truth is I don't want to do one, as last year totally sucked. So in brief, my year went: Had school, had exams, found out parents were splitting up, went on holiday and turned 17, got exam results, went back to school, dad moved out. If you want more than that, well I'm afraid you're just going to have to want. I don't like looking back over bad things, despite it still effecting me.

It's really quiet this week. Judi and mark are at my dad's, and I never truly appreciated just how goddamn loud they are! It's really strange not having to play referee to their petty fights, and not having to justify what I want to watch on the TV, and only cooking for 2 people.

The impossible happened last week. We had maths with both Matthews and Johnson, and NEITHER of them set homework. For those that don't know, not getting homework in maths means that hell must have frozen over. OK, so it was because 2/5 of the class weren't in the lesson, as both Kyle and Deborah had an exam, but because they weren't in, the teachers didn't give the other 3 of us any homework. wOOt!

I'm getting my hair cut in just over 8 hours! wOOt!!!! Really psyched up. Still debating if I'm going to get light brown streaks put in, I think I'll see what the hairdresser advises. The cost will also be an issue I suppose. OK, yes, the first £35 is being paid for by my mum, but anything over that I have to pay for. Going round to dad's on Friday, and unless siblings have told him, he doesn't know that I'm getting t cut. And neither do my grandparents who are coming up for a visit this weekend, which should be good, as I haven't seen them since... erm... April I think.

Well, I think that's everything. If not, I'll add it on when I get home, what with school still blocking blogger.

exams, exams, exams

Exams, exams, and exams. What else would i be doing?! 4 in 3 days! It's not fair!!! Had 2 biology exams on Monday, one which went ok, the other one... erm... didn't. Then had a chemistry exam today, which i managed to royally feck up. And don't go telling me that i didn't, cos i know for a fact that i did. Badly. Ok, so i only needed to improve on the last paper i did by 2 marks, but i think that i did better the first time around. And that was without answering the long answer questions at the end that time. Ok, so i could answer then this time, but that was about the only thing that i felt in any way confident about. Dunno, maybe i would have felt more confident if i had actually done the subject for the last, erm... how many months has it been since May? 7? And to top it off, i have a maths exam tomorrow. Which i should do ok on, i mean we've been doing the stuff since the end of June, so that should go ok... but heh.

Been feeling a little depressed recently. Don't really know why though. Was really down over the weekend. It might be something with this whole arrangement thing of being shipped between parents. Or at least that's what it felt like. Ok, so i know that it's dumb, and that i shouldn't, cos they both love me the same and all that, but it's hard on me, y'know? Siblings seem to be dealing ok though, so at least i dont have to worry too much about them. OK, so i'm going all sentimental again, but hey, it's me, i'm allowed to be sentimental from time to time, right?

What else.... erm... oh, finally got myself together and sorted out my bank card thing that has been on my "to do" list for about 2 months. See, i will get everything done given enough time. Now all i gotta do is to wait for the bank to get its arse in gear and to send me out a new card, but at least that bit isn't up to me. So when i get that i will be able to pay back family members that i owe money to, so that should get them off my back for a bit.

Ah well, better be off. maybe do some work. actually, it's what, half 10? maybe not. If i dont know the stuff now i never will in time for tomorrow.

And the table tennis of thoughts continue...

If someone out there could come into my brain, and sort out all the complete junk that id currently there, that would be a great help!

Ok, so I aint updated in a while, but that's not entirely my fault. I've been at my dad's for the last couple of weeks, and there isn't an internet connection there, but hey, there will be soon once he gets the broadband sorted out when he moves MY computer over to his house when he revamps the study. Ok, so I got a laptop in exchange for giving him said computer, but hey. And on that subject... I HAVE A LAPTOP!!! wOOtness!!!

Anyway, went to the Snow White pantomime on the 18th. The actual panto was brilliant, pity the company wasn't. Ok, I can understand if someone forgot their keys, or forgot their purse or something like that, but when the entire group forgot that I was going, I was not really impressed! How, exactly, can you forget someone? (in the real world, not on those home alone films!) And they forgot me! You think SOMEONE would have remembered me, I mean, I'm not exactly the quietest person who was going! And then, when I got in touch and said "where are you?" and they remembered that I was going and we met up, they then treated me like a spare part for the entire show. Ok, quick question, is it more dangerous to be on Northumberland street alone when the average number on said street is 6, and they are all down the other end of the street, or when there are an average of 600 people, all over said street? I would have thought I was more at risk with an average of 600 people, and not 6., but apparently I was wrong, as I was escorted to the haymarket, where it is probably more dangerous than Northumberland street at that time. So I get on the bus, and then everyone else decides about 5 minutes later that they are going to get the same bus. Which is fine, but it still doesn't stop them from treating me like a spare part. So I get off the bus art my bus stop, with about 5 other people in tow, who suddenly realise that I'm there,a nd they insist on walking me home. But by this time I've had enough, and so I say I can walk home from a bus stop by myself, thank you very much. I mean, I would have anyway if they had gotten a different bus, right? So I walk off at my normal speed... About 5 mph, and needless to say, they cannot keep up. So I get home to my nice big empty house... God knows what they would have done if they knew that!... And the next day, I get grief off one of them, and she tries to give me a guilt trip. ummm... DIDN'T WORK!!! Ok, that's that rant over.

Christmas was interesting. It was decided that we weer having it at dad's house, which was fine and all that, but christmas eve was actually the first time I had stayed a night there, and so I was completely knackered, what with a new bed and "excitement" meaning I got about 3 hours sleep... which compared to the week or before hand was actually pretty good. The actual day was bizarre. It's really stange when you wake upp on a day that is meant to be a day that you spend with family etc, and yet my mum wasn't there when I woke up. OK, so she was there by 9, but it just isn't the same, y'know? I dunno, I guess I'm just taking this harder than I thought I would be.

The christmas week was ok, I guess. Nothing really happened there. had an OK new year's at mum's. On Sunday I lost a fight with a kitchen knife, and am now sporting an actually really deep cut on my thumb, that kinda still hurts. But m'eh, it'll be ok. And now I'm abck at school, and am faced with 12 hours of private study a cycle! There is only so much work that a person can do in that time! But I went to Starlight express with a load of peeps yesterday. That was really good, and considering I had no idea what the story was about, I managaed to keep up all right.

So now I've got about 10 minutes to kill before my lesson. That's one more private study this week done, only another 5 to go this week, then 3 next week.
