argh.... crazy busy i've been! revising for exams, but i'll come to that in a minute, school work, everything! i guess it must have been about a month since i've posted.... and its mostly been a whirlwind blur! they seem to have taken the month before study leave to cram everything in! we were still learing new theory in computing up until the penutumate lesson (hmm... is it only me that doesn't sound right to...) and had so many mocks for both chem and computing... and did LOADS of past papers for maths! argh so hard/annoying/boring/why? We finished last fri and it was so weird - just so many people that i'm going to miss :( people that i talk to a lot in lessons and stuff, but i know we're not close enough to meet up over summer... though i think just about everyone has messenger... so when i have enough energy to talk to everyone i can (is that bad that mostly i just can't be bothered to talk to most people... oops?) after college (we finished at 12.45) most of my year ended up at tally ho - a cheep pub nearby... and considering my year has 400-500 students... you can guess that there might have been a *few* people there!!!! we had so much fun!!!!... so many of us were there and we stayed for ages (6 hrs....) and just had a really good time... it was a perfect ending! and we all plan to do the same thing on leavers afternoon (29th june.... can't believe that it will all be over by then!!!)... and we have the summer social if we remember to get tix... and we're going out after that so i'll see quite a few people there i guess... i'm still going to miss people though... everyone was signing everyone elses books and some of my messages are soooo sweet! great way to remember people!
So that was friday - and i honestly really didn't mean to stay for that long... but the weather was so gorgous that i just couldn't leave!!! but the reason that i was going to was that i had 2 maths exams on the following monday... so i did try to do some revision that night but i got about 1/2 hr of not-all-that-useful revision done and then left it! was revising all sun... and then had both 1hr30 exams on mon morn (with 5 mins inbetween - what exam board thinks it a good idea to put two of their *own* exams on at the same time... you need to figure it out edexcel...)... which went... well ok... i'm not really sure... i don't think i've done badly... but i don't think that i've done amazingly... which i guess is ok... i have 4 more maths exams to make up for it( the mon exams consisted of 1 retake and 1 this year module... i have 2 more resits and 2 more modules from this year). Then on thurs i had a chem practical... which i think went pretty well... i was in "isolation" for a couple hrs until my exam started... basically there are not enough spaces in the chem labs for all the chem students to the exam together so they have 2 lots of students on the first day and 2 lots on the second. I was in the 2nd lot on the first day... i say isolation but there were about 20 of us in the 'isolation' room... we ended up mainly playing cards! quite a few people were revising, but i couldn't see what help that was going to be - in the practical you get to take all your notes in with you - so its more about observation and analysis than pure knowledge. i felt that for me, revising would only get me nervous and agitated! which would not be the best idea. In the end i feel i did quite well... everyone was getting the same answers when we spoke after! apart from i really didn't remember that that brown/white colour was 'buff' (yes thats actually a name of a colour...)... damn... i just couldn't figure it out!!!! lol but apart from that i feel that it went ok. So only another 4 chem exams (3 this year 1 resit) to go... as well as 2 computing exams... argh i should be busy revising!
Later on thurs i went to jignas with sarah... we had dinner (noodles - yum! (great source that you *made*)) then went to the college art exhibition... it was SO good... it made me realise why(again) that i didn't take art further than GCSE... the ideas and of course that actual work was so astounding! i really wanted to steal most of the work there! we went back to jigna's after and watched 'you've got mail'... mainly because both of us forgot to tape star wars last week! but all three of us have watched it so many times that sarah was happily quoting most of lines(whiles telling us that it was "my favourite bit" every five minutes) and we did end up having a popcorn fight (that was the 2nd (large) batch of popcorn i should really add)... what we did figure out was that the DVD had the most pointless extra in it... we really counldn't figure out why it was there - a music only version of the film. That means that they show the same graphics, with just music, no dialogue over it... which not only means that you'd sit there trying to lip read (unless you're sarah and know all the lines) but when they would have voiceovers it was completey pointless... that must be one of the biggest mysteries that i've ever come accross... lol
Then on fri jo came round to mine and we did... well just about nothing... the weather was so good and we just realaxed all day! watched a peter kay DVD (that guy is so funny... i'm in stiches every time i watch his standup... and ricky gervais... and bill bailey... and a good few others lol) and bb later... who else found it incredibly ironic and funny that the only person that didn't realise that the 2nd door was to be pushed and wouldn't open automatically was the psychic... and she actually described herself as very intelligent... and her eyes were scary! but bb has basically again tried to choose people that are obv not going to get along on principal - and the looks that they were already giving each other as they entered the house was jsut funny... however after that little rant i don't think i'll end up watching that much of this series... lol
so that basically sums the past week or so up... worked today and will be working bank hol on mon (double pay yey!) and going shopping on fri (i havn't been in sooo long - lol retail withdrawal) but apart from that i will be revising - yey... what a fun time i have until my next exam (7th june...)
