I do feel like an idiot.

Forgot to put the Analytics code into the footer. I do feel like an idiot.

As the title says.

In other news, the Heroes Finale was a bit meh. This weeks Family Guy was also a bit meh. However, The Big Bang Theory was as good as always. I do love American TV.

However, am really quite tired, and going to sleep. Before 8pm, baby.

I suppose I should be happy.

Happy, in the sense that I won't have to stay up until 4am again to make things up about computers.

Oh, university. Might have to do a little there.

49 days until I can sleep for a few days, I'm quite excited now.

Sort of anyway, as that means that I'll have sat through eight exams.

Which is revision I need to spend more time doing.

I'll start soon.

I should probably type using longer sentences.

*cough*

Today.

Spent the first three hours, as expected, in ICT. As it was an exam. But I was productive, got 7000 characters typed, which got me a few marks.

Then I did nothing for a few hours, then wemt to Physics for last lesson. No fourth lesson, as that teacher was away. But fifth lesson was even more of a waste of time than the time betwen the exam and that lesson, as I just sat there. I do hate it, so very much.

Now I'm watching Britain's Got Talent and pondering on how much ICT6 I should or shouldn't do.

Probably should, to be honest.

The morning after the night before.

The night that was spent collecting Brightly Coloured Eggs in the World of Warcraft, between the hours of 11pm and 3.30am.

In that time, I got nine of the ten Noblegarden achievements and the meta achievement, leaving only one achievement left.

However, as I am finished with the important achievements (Spumba the Noble, baby), I'm going to spend the rest of the day doing more important things, such as ICT5b hand drawn drafts, second electronic drafts, feedback, image manipulation, production methods and costing, and ICT6 evaluation, plus anything else that my teacher decides to add to the mark scheme today.

Getting the ICT5b stuff done should be fun. *cough*

The three hours of the timed exam that start tomorrow will probably be hell. Three hours in the hottest ICT room in school with computers that tend not to work from time to time. Plus, we're right next to the redgra and it runs through break, so there'll be tens of children running past the windows.

Can't wait.

Money.

I need some. Could probably do with a job.

Actually, to be honest, I'd probably be better off by not spending the little that I do have left.

For example, I've spent roughly £360 these past two weeks, which is roughly half of the money I possess. And I keep on buying things, like The Orange Box. Again. But I don't care, as it only cost £5.66, which is about 1/7th of what I paid for it the first time.

Oh well.

Maybe I should apply for student finance so I can live in September. That sounds like a pretty good idea, actually. Might do it this weekend.

Actually, I was planning to sleep through most of the weekend, to make up for the less than 24 hours sleep total I've had these past seven days. Knowing me though, I'll still be up in four hours time watching Two Pints or something.

Or maybe playing The Orange Box through on a different platform. Or maybe both.

The possibilities are endless!

It's not going well.

I've been sitting here, not doing any work, for five hours now.

Instead of working, I've been watching My Name is Earl, Scrubs, Friends, Family Guy, The Inbetweeners, The Big Bang Theory, and lots of The Sims 3 videos around the internet.

I've also been playing World of Warcraft, and Peggle, at the same time. How fabulous is that?

Very, is the answer.

Next few hours will bring Super Noodles, the Gadget Show, more Family Guy, some Cornflakes and maybe some Evaluating. As I could do with doing some coursework.

Well.

Pretty uneventful week so far.

Probably the most exciting thing I've done so far is change the blog theme again. I like this one, as it's a bit more orange. Plus it doesn't look totally ugly on big resolutions.

Other sort of exciting things happening include lots of Audiosurf, also making my netbook more fun and interesting.

Sort of exciting was handing in a 106 page long coursework project, but that's sort of old news.

Very exciting was Activote. I think it is fabulous.

Not so exciting is the fact that I can still remember what we were taking about in CPL today. Hah, that thing with Diane was absolutely hilarious. But that's not what I'm talking 'bout, I mean the peasant's thing.

Fantastically exciting was catching a Mr. Pinchy. That was amazing, but then talking to Mr. Pinchy and then getting a Magical Crawdad Box from my first charge was fabulous. 264 casts in pools to get, which made my afternoon fabulous.

Not that bad on the exciting scales is my recent achievements. Along with the above, I hit 1000 dailies, Champion of Darnassus, Exalted Champion of Darnassus, Chasing Marcia, It's Just a Flesh Wound, Stocking Up, and the four Coin achievements.

Actually, to be honest, it's not been that boring.

This weekend.

Well, this weekend has been alright.

Saturday was spent testing, drinking, and playing Rock Band. Good times really, mainly because of the drinking, Rock Band. Oh, and Britain's Got Talent, Ninja Warrior and Red Dwarf. It's all good.

However, my choice to do these activities until 7.00 am meant I got about three hours sleep, which was not good, as I needed to lots and lots of coursework. But I had a little sleep when I got home, and tested.

I spent bloody nine hours testing on Sunday. Gah, exhausting. But it's done now, which is awesome. I then spent until 3.30 am Monday morning documenting it. Being as I'd written out most of it as I'd lost access to Access last month, that didn't take so long, still a bit of a long process to take screenshots of everything, for the third time.

Oh well.

Today was okay, pretty much did nothing spectacular, apart from handing in a 106 page project to Mr. Hulme, which was awesome.

One bad thing about today was another HE CARD moan, which I still see as a pointless and futile waste of my time when in six weeks time I'm sitting exams. I appreciate we've had months to prepare, but I don't need to remind myself of what I've done, I've already done it, and being as my university choices do not care for the thing, I see it as pointless. Obviously, as do two thirds of the upper sixth.

Oh well.

Posting a post.

Ohh yeah.

Two in one day.

So there, Lord Boxington. =D

I spent far too long on this.

Test 1

Click it to make it bigger.

It's essentially a screenshot of what I've been working on for the past few months. Except the screenshot took about an hour to make. How fun.

Anyway, time to party.
