Physiology and Drayton Manor

OK, this post shouldn’t be half as long as the last one, but then again the last one wasn’t meant to go on for the length that it did, so we’ll see.

Well, let’s start with the boring stuff, cos then it’s out of the way… you ever wonder why they don’t do exams like that? They have to leave the most boring subjects to the end… so yeah, exams. Totally and utterly fecked up the physiology exam we had yesterday. May, MAY have just SCRAPED a pass… maybe. Out of all the exams we’ve had so far, that was by far the most evil. It was a double module, so we’ve been doing the stuff since October so it’s not like most other modules where it’s only about 10 or so lectures, no, this exam was on about 48 lectures. EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!

So yeah, didn’t like that exam. BUT, if I have managed to pass it, I don’t have to do t again… and if I DO have to do it again, well the resists aren’t till September, so that gives me plenty of time. Lol

So then, after leaving about 2 and a bit hours into the 3 hours, went up to Amy’s and we watched Pretty Women. Just because. And then went to tkd… which was ALMOST cancelled, because by about 5 to 7 only 7 of us had turned up, and that included Alan. But then Caroline turned up, so it was just about worth it. And it was fun. Went through patterns again, few kicking exercises, bit of free spar, then a quick self defence part. So yeah, was good for an hours worth of exercise.

Stayed the night at Amy’s. Watched Day After Tomorrow, which is a cool film. Got up bright and early this morning to get the 8.15 bus to Drayton Manor. So we got there for about 9.15, found that the park didn’t open till 9.30, fair enough, only a few minutes wait. Got in, only to find that most of the rides didn’t open till 10.30, but hey, that’s what you get for going off peak. So went to the zoo for a bit to begin with. Had some tiger facts on the tiger cage, one being a tiger can jump over 6 meters. And we’re looking at the cage thinking that is no way 6 meters. And then we couldn’t find the tiger. Which, lets face it, can be a little disconcerting…

But yeah, it was a cool day. Wasn’t sick, always a good sign. Despite feeling a little woozy after going on a couple of rides that toss you upside down for a bit. And I even went on water rides… voluntarily. Now, for those that don’t know me well when it comes to theme parks and rides, I’ll explain. I hate them. I really really hate them. Especially the log flume. I will not go on a log flume. I think the only people who have gotten me on one in the last, what, 8 years or something was Sarah, and she still had to drag me on it. Literally. Not even my family can get me on them.

Saying that, there is one water ride that I usually go on without too much of a fuss, and that’s the rapids one, where you sit in a big rubber ring thing. And I usually only go on as a compromise for not going on the log flume. So for me to not only go on the ride, but to suggest that we go on is a BIG DEAL. So we went on, and we got drenched. Actually, in comparison, my top was all right, it was mainly my trousers, but as they were black they dried pretty quickly. Amy got more wet than me. And it’s quite amazing just how much of a wimp some teenage boys can be. Bless them.

But yeah, overall it was a good day.

Oh yeah, one more thing... we all knew it was true...














See, this was a much more tame post! Aren’t you glad?
