Waste of time: Exam Seven.
C4 today.
Question Two was fine, I do love a good binomial expansion. Worked out quite well and did it quickly, which was awesome. Question Two was also great, trapezium rule and integration, same as other people: fabulous.
Then it went downhill, real fast. Answered only bits of questions from then on. Happy that there was no differential equations question, but the big 14 mark question on vectors was a complete fail.
Which I believe, according to my shaky and approximate maths, I've gotten a D in Maths. Which means I should be aiming for 85/90 (roughly) UMS tomorrow to get a C, to guarentee a place at Derby. Which plainly and simply will not happen, ever. So I just hope I get an A in ICT and Derby like me.
Gonna start revising for PA10 in a bit, which should be fun going through 4 modules. Or 4 and that bit of the optional that everyone had. Should probably find out, to be honest.
23 hours left. Dreading the last two, but can't wait either.
Farewell!
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.
Spring Exams '09 – Day 4, I assume
What a waste of time that exam was. Barely answered enough to score half marks on it, as I just didn't know what to put.
Which is really annoying, when over the past weeks when I've been revising, I've been getting B's and A's consistently.
Oh well, it's another one to resit.
Half way through my exams for January, though, so not all is bad.
Okay, that's strange.
Warning: Contains World of Warcraft orientated postness.
As you do, I was flying from Wyrmrest Temple to Coldarra to do the dailies there. Started a song on Rock Band 2, managed to fly over Coldarra completely, right off the Northrend map, then I ended up with 40 seconds into the minute of fatigue. I waited, died, and accepted I would have to spirit resurrect.
So, I pressed release spirit, and ended up at Sentinel Hill. In Westfall.
I mean, what now?
If anything like that would have happened, I'd have assumed I would end up at Everlook in Winterspring.
Hmmph.
What a day.
Got to train station at 11:00, waiting for Add and Rachel. Add and Rachel arrive around 11:15. Waited for 11:25 train.
Train didn't arrive. Matty appeared. His iPhone tells us that the train was delayed until 12:03. At 12:03, the train arrived, but didn't stop at Landywood. Fail.
Decided to reduce wait times by travelling to Somerfield's. In the 2 for £1.50 offer, I bought Coca Cola, as a did Rachel. I also purchased a Kinder Egg.
Waited for next train, supposedly at 12:25. Person came down to tell us that no trains would be stopping at Landywood, so we had to get on a suspicious coach.
Arrived at Walsall station at 13:00, got ticket, finally got on the train to Birmingham at 13:15. In Birmingham for about 13:40.
Had Subway. Not enough cucumber on mine, 5 slices on a footlong. Disappointed.
Walked round shops. Should have bought Hairspray for £6. I wasn't prepared to wait in Gamestation for a game though, queue was far too big.
Around 17:05, had to run for the train. Got on the train, nearly fell over a lot.
...
So..., a protip: London Midland trains are awful. And don't go to Birmingham so close to Christmas.
You will only be disappointed.
I need to post more regularly.
I really do. As otherwise, I say nothing, then I have really long and silly posts. Like this one.
For university, I have two offers of 260 UCAS tariff points to Derby and Sheffield Hallam, and I have been requested to go to an interview for a potential offer for Teesside. However, the interview is scheduled right on top of my exams in January, which in all honesty, is quite inconvenient. However, I do have an offer for my favourite university, which is awesome.
Hmm. In Burnout Paradise, I got my Burnout License. Only 105 events to go until I get my Burnout Elite license. Yayy. Something like that, anyway.
I was quite ill last week. And to anyone that was wondering, that still doesn't know, I was asleep in the week. I just felt completely dead, and was coughing up blood and stuff like that.
Nationwide finally sent me the cheque for their silly accounts merger thing. Therefore I have £50, which should be nice to spend on something. Rock Band 2, or maybe some dollars. As it's Vegas in eight weeks.
That kind of scares me, however, as that means exams are in five. Two Maths modules, one Physics module and one ICT module, plus a General Studies module that'll finish my AS off. I've got some good resources though, all of the ICT and Maths papers with Physics coming next week, as well as a very useful ICT textbook.
However, I am currently not learning from the resources. They just exist. Like, I have a Maths mock in the next few days, and I am still not aware of C3 trigonometry. Or, on the coursework side of things, I've done very little towards the ICT that was due in on Friday, (to be honest, I was really ill, to the extent that I wasn't on the computer for most of the week) and absolutely nothing at all towards the stuff that's due in this week. And overall in Physics, I haven't really thought about it.
I should probably do some Maths or ICT now, but blogging about not doing it is much more interesting.
Hmm, other things. In World of Warcraft, I hit Level 80. And I'm slowly gaining Level 80 gear that's replacing my outdated Level 70 gear, which is good. 2800-odd achievement points too.
Fall Out Boy's new album is quite fun, not really enjoying it yet. I'm sure I will soon.
Bowling for Barndardo's tomorrow. I don't have a sponsor envelope yet. I could see that being a problem to be honest. I do have all my money, so I just need to sneak into the office and get one. Should be fun.
I think that's everything, to be honest. Should be fun seeing someone tomorrow, haven't seen anyone since Wednesday two weeks back. Awh.
Things are fun.
Playing Rock Band for a night is fun. However that was mainly on vocals, and so was quite throat-pain-inducing. Especially singing the first half of Run to the Hills at least four times in a row, and not actually finishing.
Castle Crashers is fun. Especially as I only paid £9.00 for the points. Good bargain, I feel. I also love this song.
The songs in Camp Rock are fun. However, the oh-so-obvious canned laughter plus predictable plot is not.
Signs in Burger King are fun. That's it.
Time Machine finishing backing up for the first time in five weeks is fun. Well, Mac-saving, especially if I have another kernel panic.
Pre-ordering Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts and discovering I get the free XBLA port of the original Banjo Kazooie is fun. Especially as I love Banjo Kazooie.
Something are quite as fun. Like kernel panics, Digicook.co.uk being spammed heavily, and not posting here in a week.
Still, all is good.
