Mid-exam update

1 exam down, and 2 more to go. In all fairness, I have had a really easy exam period, as my exams are so spread out. One major disadvantage to this is the fact most people will finish before me, and will even torture me with social invitations, or just keep me awake all night. That is my main concern, as an average night in the ghetto is noisy enough, never mind after the majority of its occupants have finished their exams. I will call security if it gets too noisy, I really couldn't care less if it ruins anyones night - be considerate. 

In other news, it's my parents 17th wedding anniversary today. I believe my poor Mother is being dragged camping, as my Father enjoys fishing. It's just fantastic that they're still together, as divorce appears to be so common these days. My sister has also finished school - which is terrifying. She's still got at least 12 exams left, but she no longer has any lessons. She is going to pursue A levels in Chemistry, Biology, Maths and IT from September. 

One weird update is that I decided to e-mail my primary school head teacher. It's well known that she is retiring from August, therefore I wanted to just say hello before she did. I genuinely received such a lovely response, and it's nice to know that she remembers me. Which isn't too hard, considering my name is on the big trophy that is in the school somewhere. I can't actually remember what I received the trophy for, but I remember that it was the big award every year, and that it was something I had wished for since year 1. 

I have a CUROP update also - I didn't get the placement. I am rather lucky though, as I think that I was the only first year to get an interview this year. I have always had a back up plan, and I think that it's actually going to work out. I will be spending my summer in the academic environment that I wanted to, and I will be making some money. 

I think this summer has the potential to be one of the best ever. 




I was cute a very long time ago.

Seriously, what do I do with my time!?

I've been off college for two months.

I can genuinely only recall about 15 social outings. This would be great normally, but it's summer! I am definitely regretting wasting most of it in bed watching tv. If the article (which I can't find) on new scientist is anything to go by, then I have probably shaved a year off my life this holiday. Slightly counter-productive considering all the grand plans I had for these holidays. Oops! I have enjoyed them - honestly I really have, yet I cannot wait to return to college.

Missing hash browns is really confusing and probably explains how I may have spent at least 10% of my wages on stuff from the shop at Bilborough and from Cathy. She is the lovely lady who works at The Pod (a coffee bar type contraption) and sells me coffee. Considering my current high intake of caffeine, I may be spending a lot of time talking to her this year. I hope she still works there. There is one major issue though, my bank balance isn't very healthy currently and I don't know where my money has gone. If only my debit card would stop working for a week or four - that would help my work pile disappear!

So with one day until I have to go back to college only my electronics notes have been written up, haven't even started the shocking project. Oh dear. Tomorrow is going to be stupidly busy and I would much rather stay in bed. OH WAIT. I have a dentist appointment. So I would much rather stay at home and work. Catching up is essential before college starts otherwise i'll fall behind. I need to finish my open university module as well. I guess I can kiss my social life goodbye until August 2012 then.
