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.
Wow, my old posts were truly awful.
I don't really have anything more to say.
Actually, leaving that post there would be very similar to the posts I am describing as awful. So, I'm going to rant a bit.
Which is what my blog mainly is now.
Oh well.
Anyway, today, I've been looking at the idea of a tumblelog. As for me, it would be easier to deal with. So that might be the next thing I waste copious amounts of time with. Time that cannot be spent on creating or maintaining it. Which sucks.
I actually started my work today! I spent two hours finding as much work as possible for my HUL ICT coursework, and then ended up retyping two of my documents from my hard copies as I lost them to not efficiently backing up my data. Silly me. But that's the hard part of HUL's coursework done as far as I'm concerned, the rest is just monotonous and repetitive work that I could do in a day, I reckon. Not today, though.
I also added some more detail to my timed exam work for CLA. Not long, but a short amount of time.
Anyway, doing the above has made me feel better about doing nothing up to now with my time this holiday.
On a different subject, tomorrow will be nice to see some of my friends for the first time in a week. Plus, Rock Band. Plus, alcohol. Although alcohol and Rock Band don't mix well for me, as I just fail entirely.
Sunday, I imagine, will be the last day of not doing much at all.
Well, apart from Thursday. As I'm planning to go pick up a Mystery Gift in Birmingham. And by Mystery Gift, I mean Shaymin for Pokémon. Oh yes.
The past three weeks.
Well. They've been full of ups and downs.
Basically exams the first week. Not helped by the chest infection I had.
In a nutshell;
- General Studies ended up with me giving up due to not understanding the questions, plus the lack of care I have for the qualification.
- My ICT resit, which I think went really, really well.
- The Thursday afterwards brought the joy of Mathematics for Core 3, which went badly.
Next up were people's birthdays.
Jimmy's Birthday meal at Jimmy Spices was highly enjoyable. So much food. That was tasty and infinite. I'd like to go back, I must say.
And then Lozza's Birthday Party at Lozza's house was fun. Lots of fun photos. Fun times.
However, after these fun events, I was back into exams.
This week of exams,  in a nutshell;
- My Statistics Resit was awesome, I got lots of marks, and was overall happy with the paper. However, damn you Rohit.
- Physics doesn't warrant a conversation.
So overall, for the five exams in January, the only worthwile ones were the ones that I had underperformed in before. This does not bode well for PA07/W, PA07/P, PA10, C4, M1 [maybe, I have most of the prior knowledge from PA02 (that I failed previously)], and ICT4.
Between Physics on Wednesday and being back to school on Monday, I spent most of my time with an open (well, hidden) piece of ICT coursework. I also went for a meal, spent a day out with the family, and slept a lot. To be honest, I could have been a bit more productive.
Then we're into last week, which has been the first full week back for a while. Which is actually a good thing, as out of the last six EMA payments, I recieved one. I hope so much that I get this EMA bonus this week, or else I can't do anything. Crap, forgot about Leaver's Hoodie Money. =(
Anyway, my lack of productivity and attendance was hardly noticed, as I'm now caught up with everything new started in Mechanics and Core 4, got all the materials I need for Physics and started to catch up on ICT coursework and timed exam work. Which, according to the time plan I started three hours ago, I'm already ahead of myself.
Also last week, I have determined I have many frees. With General Studies being pushed off, I have a total of 22 hours every two weeks with no scheduled lessons. Good fun.
I also set my highest QWOP score of 70.6m which is running properly, and an Impossible Quiz 1 score of Q91.
Exciting party in the form of Jay's party yesterday, which was awesome. Lots of choones.
One thing I have identified in the past week is how much work, and by work I mean ICT, I have to do before I go to Las Vegas in nine days. I should probably start Task Five, actually, as it's due in today. Oh well, I fails. At least I have some Galaxy, Skins and QI to keep me entertained as I think about starting working. Mebbeh.
Wow.
I guess this is what a hangover feels like.
And I don't think it's going to help my S1 revision. That I haven't started yet.
Damn.
Well, that was good fun.
Drinking game was fun.
Drinking was fun.
Pesticide spray at people was not fun.
Ball games was fun.
Ten minutes of the Cha-Cha slide was fun.
All in all, quite fun.
Hmmyes.
If last week (well, 168 hours) was good…
Then the next 168 should be amazing.
Well, 16 free's probably won't happen again, but who knows.
Still, amazing week to go, yess.
I can't wait.
For many things.
Like Wednesday. Going to the Big Wok to get some all-you-can-eat Chinese action. Which should be good fun.
Or, like a week on wednesday. Going back to VIth form for my A2s, so I can get into university and go do something I want to do.
Or, like in 64 days. Becoming 18, being able to drink legally, going to have some form of event to celebrate.
Or, like in 16 weeks time. Christmas, and even more legal drinking and celebrating.
Or like in 22 weeks time. Las Vegas, no legal drinking there. Still lots of fun to be had looking at all the amazing sights and the like, with my family.
Or, like 24 weeks time. New York, still no legal drinking. Silly USA. Lots of fun to be had looking at all the amazing sights and the like, with my friends.
Or, like in 50 weeks time. A2 results time, to see whether I can get into my university course. Even if I don't get my grades, there's bound to be plenty in clearing, as there still is to today for 2008 entry.
Or, like in 56 weeks time. University.
Or, like in 47 months time. I hope to see the 2012 London Olympics in person, with my friends.
Or, like the rest of my life. It should be fun. (P.S. I like long posts.)
Today was good.
It was.
Drive to train station + Mario Kart + Big Wok + Zavvi + Forbidden Planet for 72 minutes + Gamestation + Trainage + Drive to Add's with Add and Jamo + Drive to my house with Beth and Aimee + Drive to Add's with Beth and Aimee + Alcohol + Mario Kart + Singstar + Drive to my house with Beth.
