so update on university stuff. I have got offers from southampton and nottingham so far - both wanting ABB, which is kl... but means that i now have to get those grades! i have interview/ucas days coming up for Bristol, Bath, and Manchester. The only one i haven't heard from so far is Exeter, but that had lower entry requirements, so am waiting for that. I'm quite lucky that my application got sent off so fast. My senior tutor did my refernce, as opposed to my form tutor. Form tutors generally do the refernces, but mine has to deal with all the art foundation refernces... but its ok coz i had my senior tutor last year for maths, so he knows me quite well.
As for the part of the comp c/w that has been written(critised/wanted to kill?*delete as applicable*) about in past entries, its all in a bit of a lull at the moment. She took what I had done in to mark(which as you may have guessed means that i didn't finish it... but then again hardly anyone did), which was about 30 pages. Which was *I* thought quite a bit... but then some people were handing in 80 pages of A3 (yes you know who you are... be ashamed...), and that part still wasn't finished... So just doing other work at the moment... quite glad about that!
Took my sister around my college the other day, she's planning on applying... think she liked it... just now needs to weigh up the benefits to her of goinging the college or staying on at her own 6th form.
Going to be so busy in the next couple of weeks. As well as the interview/visits mentioned above I just have so much stuff planned. Tonight I'm going to a friend's 18th party - she's hired out a club (about 100 plp going!) and everyone is *meant* to dress in white, red, or pink. I say meant because i'm cheating a bit... pink with black... but i think its ok! She's wearing a salwar kameez anyway so is going to look SOOOOO pretty. Bunked our comp lesson on wed to get it as well... so not fair... i mean if i had gone as well, now that would be fair! Anyway should end up haveing a good time tonight.
Next fri I'm going out to a chineese restaraunt that hosts kareoke on fri night... should be a great laugh! Then the week after I have the work xmas dinner, which gets paid for!!!!!! always a bonus. Then the week after that I have my driving test, and its the last day of school so we'll probably go out. I'm working both the sat and sun, then going to MUSE on the mon. Standing Tickets... so wkd! Then on the wed i'm going out for another friends 18th... prob a meal and then to the pub...
And of course this is WITHOUT any of the work that i'm going to get.... argh... no time!!!!!
Just swiched browers from IE to firefox... so far i like the layout and the tabs instead of having to have loads of windows open!
We have 2 comps networked in my house. There is the downstairs comp, which is old and slow. Then is my comp that i'm writing this on, and thats a lot newer, faster and *prettier*, but unfortunally it takes its internet from the old slow one. At the mo the old comp has decided to be a BIG pain. Basically last week it wouldn't even load up - problem with the registry. Since i've stopped using that comp things seem to have gone bad. I hadn't got around to installing a firewall, mainly because half of my family is computer illetrate and teaching them to use it would take too much time... and i also hadn't installed adaware... which appears to have been a mistake as there seems to be an abundance of trojans on that comp. Also running adaware has bought up 367 'critical' objects... which is NOT good. However because of the slow nature of the comp (and the size of the problems) it is taking a LONG time even to delete the entries... :(
I just can be bothered to play with it any more...!

Sitting in computing, meant to be doing my c/w. Its just hard because there is SO much to do, and not all that much time to do it in. They want me to do so much, explain every little thing that anyone with half a brain could figure out in a second. Like I have to explain every field i put in a table. Let me give you an example... I'm doing a project on a sports club. They want a table in a database to store member detail. I have to say why they want first name and surname... crazy. Or when I make a form for them to enter data in, I have to explain that the label that says First Name, corresponds to the field first name and is a label. If it was just 1 field it would be ok, its the fact that there are many more field than 1. :(
So i guess that i'd better stop playing about and posting, and get back to c/w...

So i did the stats exam... i think *hope* that it went better than the last 1!!!
I was meant to have my driving test on the 5th, but there were all the strikes on, so it had to be re booked. At first they rebooked me for 11th march!!! so i called up to complain and i've got one at another test centre for 17th dec... which is actually meant to be my last day at skl... but i think its early in the morn, and i have 2 frees in the morn, so i mite b ok.
On a better note I've recieved my first reply from a uni inviting me for an interview. Its Bath, which I didn't like as much as one or two others mainly because, for me, its felt sightly out of the way... coming from london though I have to accept that if I've chosen not to stay in London, everywhere else is going to be smaller! The actual course was ok though, which is why it got put down.
So i've got a unit test in chem tomorrow, and i'm planning to do better than in the last topic. The last topic involved learning 40+ similar equations... it was just a bit confusing and hard to learn all of them. This one involves more maths, which is good for me. Truthfully I only remebered about the test because one of my friends txted me asking me something about it... should really start writing it all down where i'll member it.
I had a maths test on fri, which i also did better in than in other topics - 72% - B, as opposed to low E's in past topics - so go me!!!
I've also got to get a lot of my computing coursework in for wed... and i'm not all that far through it!!! ooops?
Might go and sort out the layout on the page so you can see it under the 'blogger' bar
