Happy happy happy! Exam eight.

Oh wow, that exam went so amazingly well. Compared to what I was expecting, anyway.

It wasn't so bad, to be honest. Some questions I just didn't get, and some questions I got completely the wrong answer, but for the majority of the paper I understood what was happening and got some plausible answers.

Happy!

Woo!

Plans for the future include: Clearing out all the crap I've collected from GWPAHS over the past seven years, finish writing this blog post, move the printer downstairs, clear out under my bed, clear out drawers and shelves, box my Wii so I can trade it in, scan everything into Delicious Library, re-read the Harry Potter books, finally finish FFVII and FFXII, tag every photo in my Flickr account (mainly Florida + Vegas, so many untagged), watch all the episodes of Mythbusters I have, catchup with Ugly Betty, catch up with Desperate Housewives, catch up with Big Brother, play The Sims 3 for a long time, sort out the genres on iTunes, have a go at C#/GameMaker, and think of more things to add to this list.

Eheh.

Farewell!

Cleanup.

Okay, by sleep, my body obviously though nap. However, I'm bored, so I'm going to write some more.

I basically forgot to declare the ties worn the second half of Sam's week of most under-worn Ties. To clear that up, Wednesday was rainbow and beady, Thursday was red, black and stripy, and today was black and dotty. And with the award I've got for prom, I may need to get a new tie. Eheh.

Had t.A.T.u. in my head all morning, specifically this song. Only slightly annoying, as I do quite like the song. Plus, I'm trying to listen to tunes from years ago that populated my Last.fm charts. This never did on my current account, but I'm pretty sure it did on my old one. Actually, that's a lie. But what a tune anyway? Ah well.

Oh look everyone signed the floor: clicky clicky. I like how it was students, then everyone ever. How fabulous though. =)

Mmm, cupcakes.

I think Nik Naks are less flavourful. As in, they don't taste so Nice 'n' Spicy anymore, as the package suggests, in my opinion.

Oh my god like The Sims 3 in like 14 days. I feel that I'm going to install it and play it when it gets here anyway, screw my A levels to be honest, can't be bothered.

Hmm, a Twitter search for "open.spotify" brings up some fun tracks to listen to. Saves me from having to search around for them.

Awh, I've run out of Mythbusters. I need more, damnit.

Also awh, the only active American TV show I have in ted is Mythbusters, due to the fact that the Ugly Betty season finale yesterday. One episode per week now. How suckage is that? A lot, by the way.

I think I may play some Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paraidse, but start a new garden. My current one got weed'd to the max and became slightly messy. Though I did hit Level 50, which was a bit of an achievement. Not worth any gamerscore, though.

Hmm. Actually, might have a go on Mirror's Edge too.

Anyway, farewell. =)

I really want a Wetherspoons meal. They should like deliver, that would be fabulous. Or splendifferous. Yes, that.

Tuesday.

That was the official day of the week for May the 19th, 2009.

I didn't do much. Mainly went to revise at school, or watch Mythbusters, or listen to some classic Eurovision songs, or calculate what I really want to buy from Lips DLC (costing me 2760 Microsoft Points, gah, so many good songs, I mean check out this Spotify playlist), and having a nap.

Oh, doing some revision at home too, as I do have some exams on Thursday and Friday.

Ah well, all over in 28 days.

That's becoming really soon. And I don't know most of the C4 content I need to know. Fails.

However, for Sam's week of most under-worn Ties, today I wore my Union Jack tie. Tomorrow should be something fabulous.

16May/09

Hmm.

Yesterday was a strange day.

In for form, spent an hour in the sixth form center, went to Cannock, bought some marshmallows, some cake ingredients, an Xbox 360 controller, some Doritos, McDonalds, went back to school did some maths, went to Maths, came home.

I then found a more elegant way of packaging Rock Band to be transported around (needing no survival or bin bags, at all) and went to Sophie's for her birthday party. It was great fun, Rock Band was awesome, but Buzz was even awesomer, mainly because my team won the most. Woop.

Eurovision tonight, so exciteddd! Fail weather though, no outside disposable barbecue-ness.

Am off to go bake a cake, set up Rock Band and probably watch some Mythbusters.

Eheh.

I do love me a bit of Mythbusters.

3May/09

So.

Fun past few days?

Well, in general, the Volvic Challenge adverts still confuse me heavily. I fail to see the challenge. Also, I fail to see what makes Volvic cheeky, as it were. Advertising, eh? What a futile idea. I ignore them anyway.

But, on Wednesday, I did very little. Aimee and I watched some American TV in our free periods, had hour five of our timed ICT exam. That was about it. I think we talked about the Volvic Challenge then, too. I also handed in my last copy of my ICT coursework, gaining a total of 75/80 marks, which I am happy with.

However, on Thursday, we did some things. Like a practical exam that I thought went relatively well, which at the time of writing is now only 15 days away oh my god i'm going to die aghh. Also, hour six of our timed ICT exam.

Nevertheless, on Friday, I had an M1 mock. It was going so well. Question One, easy. Question Two, easy. Question Three, well, part (a) wasn't that bad. However, from there, it went downhill exponentially. And also, hour seven of our timed ICT exam. Which is halfway through. And I'm only a user documentation, camera ready copy and an evaluation away from finishing. Also, I need to embolden some words.

I like that word.

Yet, on Saturday, in the day, Adam Biddulph, Mat Bowker and I went to Birmingham. In the end, I spent about £20, which got me transportation there, a Chicken Tikka Masala and a Pepsi from Wetherspoons, a Venti Signature Hot Chocolate with a shot of Hazelnut syrup, a present for Sophie, a 2100 Microsoft Points card (THAT DOESN'T WORK, SO I CAN'T PLAY BANJO TOOIE, SO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR EVEN LONGER, WHICH SUCKS MASSIVELY SINCE I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A BANJO TOOIE N64 CARTRIDGE SINCE 2007, HOW FAIL), and an Apple Pie. Walked loads too, plus had a look round the art gallery. How very cultured of us. Good day, to be honest.

On the other hand, on Saturday evening, I went to a house party at Jay's. It was awesome, fun people, fun games, fun drinking. To be honest, I can't actually remember much.

And today, I revised some M1 due to the catastrophic failure I experienced on Friday. I also watched about 15 episodes of Mythbusters (I love that show so much), got caught up on Britain's Got (More) Talent, prepared to put Windows 7 on my Mini 9 on Tuesday, and spent roughly 37 minutes tagging each song from the Eurovision 2009 Album. Eurovision is defiinetly the only time of the year where looking at my albums in Cover Flow makes me sad, due to the 42 Eurovision covers in there. Still, it's good fun.

Basically, yes, it has been fun.

Not like anyone was asking. But I've told you anyway. So there.

Should be having a fun May Day in Cannock Park tomorrow, frisbee-ing and all.
