Just went to see 'The Terminal' - Thought that it was really good! I think that Tom Hanks is just a brilliant, believeable actor. This may have something to do with the fact that although he is in no way ugly - but not super gorg - and relies on something other than his looks in films. Catherine Zeta-Jones however was quite ordinary. Somehow her acting cannot compare to Hanks'. Though truthfully i may be a bit hypocritical, because I do admit to going to watch films that, though may not be my kind of film, do have some nice looking guys in them... like the cinderealla story which i saw last week with some friends and my younger sisters mainly because chad micheal murrey was in it. I'm kinda over those teen flicks but at least this one wasn't as bad as some of the ones i've been to over the years... i mean it had some kind of plot... popular guy falls for social outcast who is actally really pretty and we discover new depths to guy... ok so the plot was the same as many such movies but really it was just a bit of fun and didn't pretend to be anything else! So it seems as if i'm a budding film critic... actually i think i'd be quite like the job - getting paid to watch films... any offers?

Hey to all!
So did a lot better on my AS levels than I thought - I got an A in computer science, B's in Chemistry and Phys (even though I really thought that I'd messed that up!!!) and a C in Maths - So basically really happy. Went out with a lot of my college mates for coffee, then for a meal at Nandos (yum...!) and back to my friends house to just mess around and play dance mat - I really suck at it - I think I need more practice lol!!! we were all so tired though that we were falling asleep on her sofa!
Yeaterday I went up to college to change the choices that I had made for my A2 course next year. I had decided to do Comp, Chem and Phys - and they were my best subjects so it would make sense. Hovever I was looking over uni prospectuses and realised that if I wanted to do computer science (which I kinda decided at the same time) I needed an A level in maths, even though the grade might not come out as well. So I've got to survive another year of maths (without the m8 that got me through last yr because he's dropping it) but at least I don't have to study statistics any more!!!!
I went for an interview for job on tuesday that would mean that I got more money for working 5.5 hrs on the sun than I currently am doing 7.5 hrs on a sat. So I went along for the interview and I felt that it went quite well, but that I wasn't too likely to get it as they were interviewing all tue and wed, and there might have been *too* much competition. However I got a call today saying that they also had a vacency for the saturday if I would like that so it should mean that I get quite a bit more money!!! I had to go and hand in my notice to my current manager - and she was actually really nice about it and said that she would write me a reference :)
So a lot has happened in the last week and I have less than a week till I go back to college... in at 8.45 argh and i have lessons, but should have the afternoon off cause its a wednesday!

Well a while since I last updated but i've finally got the layout working again (i did mean to do it earlier... promise) and am now working on making my site work. Its mostly done... just need to get all the pics uploaded... and to make a link from me angelfire site... they just have a few too many ads and i'm too poor (and possibly stingy...) to upgrade to a non free package... so i found a good new host that is free, has no ads and much more space, so not really a hard decision!
Just been away for a week to Devon, it was... well rainy... but this is england and we're just slightly used to it! But still had a good time relaxing, swimming, reading, visiting family...
Results out tomorrow... slightly *cross out as applicable* nervous/scared/terrified... well ok not exactly scared... but a bit nervous... mainly about physics coz i know i didn't do as well as i could have and i really messed up the practical. But i'm hoping that i've done quite well in chem and computing... and i'm just ignoring maths... which is probably a good idea!
So back to updating the site... should be finished by the end of the day *crosses fingers and waves!*
