college starts continued...

so its been nearly a week since i did the other bit, and yes i know i said i would do it on whatever day it was, but i was busy.. so im carrying on with it now..




sunday was just another chill out day for us :) none of us did much, although J did some uni work and i did some revision. After dinner we all sat at the table and played cluedo. Was a good game, although there was lots or debates over the rules even though we have had the game and been playing it for many years now. Eventually dad won although the rest of us were not far behind.


The first week of college was like any other before it.. the only difference with the lessons was that it was all revision for the exams in the following week. It started snowing on tuesday, and so (because the snow was quite bad) i got wednesday off school.. it was a good day to have off seeing as i only had 2 lessons. Thursday was my key skills exam. Because of the snow i was 10 minutes late, but thankfully they had not started, anticipating that somje people might be delayed due to the weather. The exam lasted an hour and a half, but both L and myself finished in about 40 minutes.. it was one of the easiest exams i had ever done..


Went to M's house on friday, after school. We did the same as we usually do when we are together, and as usual i had a great time :)


On Saturday we had to take J back to epsom. By the time we had left and got to his house, it was 4.00pm. We stayed to help him unpack all his bags and clean up a bit. His room was incredibly dusty.. While we were sorting things out, Li came in and asked if we wanted to join her and J for dinner. We said no because we wanted to get home because it would be a long journey back.. We eventually got back home at around 10.00pm and had food that was just lying around (either left overs or ready meals). M came over on sunday and again we did our usual sunday activities :) it was a nice, slow, relaxing day, just what i needed after a week of continuous revision and before a week of hard revision and exams.


Dad took me to college on monday, and the first thing on my agenda was the maths test i had been dreading.. i went into the hall, got my stuff ready and then went and sat down.. The paper was awful.. i managed to get all the way through the paper and had time to go over the questions i had missed or only half done. By the end i had done everything i could. Gma and Gdad were picking me up and taking me home seeing as i didnt have anything else on, and when i met gdad outsided the hall he said that every person who came out the hall had said that they hated the exam and thought it was really hard. That made me feel a bit better seeing as i wasnt alone in thinking that. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and doing more revision. Tuesday was a pointless day. We had to make profiling appointments with each of our teachers that lasted for 15 minutes. I made 3 of my appointments for wednesday, as i had an economics exam wednesday afternoon, but after making those 3, i was told that i could only see D on tuesday or thursday, which meant that i had to go in on thursday for 15 minutes!! I was not particularly pleased with the fact of that. When i got home i just did more revision and watched tv.. Wednesday was better.. I had to be in at 9.00am to see K for profiling and then just about straight after i had to see Mrs F and Mr H. The profiling appointments went by quite quickly and so i was then stuck for a couple of hours on my own with nothing to do before the exam. I ended up sitting at a computer in the study centre with my headphones plugged in watching the lion king 2: simba's pride. That took up most of the time and so when it finished i went and stood by a radiator outside the gym so that i could go and sit as soon as the doors opened.. The economics exam was actually ok.. I managed to answer every question and even had time to spare at the end. I left the gym feeling confident that i had done well(ish) and that confidence had me feeling good for the rest of the day..


After the economics exam i didnt have to go back into college for anything until monday because my law exam was on the following wednesday. I soent the time at home doing large amounts of law revision and just generally chilling out. Friday evening M came over. M is just so ''wonderful and amazing'' and i really dont know what i would do without him :).

Saturday was just another lazy day for me and the parents, we just did odd jobs around the house and did some shopping. I saw M again on sunday, went round to his house. We were going to go to priory park to watch a kartinng event but in the end we didnt go, but stayed in and watched a dvd.

The start of the following week was the same as any other. college in the morning on monday and then all day tuesday. Unfortunately, monday evening, the heating broke.. which meant that i was spending wednesday with gma and gdad because i didnt really want to spend the day in a rather chilly house. I was only going into college on wednesday for my law exam in the afternoon, so all morning i was revising as much as i could.

I came out of the exam feeling like i could have done a lot better. My timing had been really bad and so i didnt manage to finish the paper.. I wrote a lot for all the questions i did do, so hopefully i will get enough marks to make up for some of the marks i missed on the last couple of questions...

College starts..

Im just going to get straight into it this time, cant think of anything to say to introduce it so here goes ;)


Saturday was a good day :) i got up late seeing as i had had another late night.. When i got up, mum told me that we were going to do an inventory of everything that we have in our freezers.. It took most of the morning to do all three freezers, but it wasnt too boring. When we were all back at home (dad had gone out somewhere) J went and watched tv while doing some work, and mum, dad and i played a game of monopoly :) because monopoly took so long and we needed to eat earlier than normal, mum got J to make dinner. We just had a normal carbonara that wasnt too hard to make and didnt take too long. It was a nic meal, and we ate while we carried on with monopoly. Eventually mum won monopoly after defeating first dad and then me.. it was not a proud moment for either of us, we got slaughtered.. Mum had made dad book tickets for us to go and see ''Avatar'' at the imax on saturday night, and so at about 8.30 we left home for the 10.30 showing. We were at the imax by 9.30 and so were then queing for over an hour before we could go in.. The film was amazing :D well worth the long wait. The only problem about the film, was that the glasses gave me a headache, and it lasted ages. We didnt leave the imax untill 1.30AM!! When we got home, i headed straight for bed and fell asleep almost instantly.

As you can tell by reading this, i havent actually got to the bit with college yet... this is because i am really slow and doing other things as well. But for now, my dinner is ready and i have to go so i will post this and then continue it again eeither later or tomorrow :) chow for now

New Year

For me this is good.. this is the first time i have done 2 posts within a week.. but then i do have my own personal alarm that goes off whenever i should make a new post..
M came round on new years eve, we weren't actually much company for each other as he was doing homework and i was helping round the house in preparation for J and her family to come. but he was there, and thats what counted.. It was quite a long day for me, doing various jobs to make the house presentable for our guests.. I only had to finish tidying my room, dust the entire downstairs, clean out oscar and louie, hoover the playroom and dining room, wash the floor in the playroom and lay the table.. I also tried to help M with his homework by mentioning films that he could use.
When M left and i returned home, i went and got changed and the ust chilled out for an hour before J arrived. When they came they brought all their stuff inside, took it up into the various room in which they would be sleeping and then we all started talking. It was fun lively talk and we all caught up with each other on lots of subjects. About an hour after them arriving, we sat down for dinner. I, being fussy, decided that i didnt want what the others were having for their starter and so mother got me a box of melon to chew on instead :P When we had all finished eating, mum, E and JL left to do some tidying in the kitchen, leaving me, J, P, and dad talking. Me and J started planning a gap year that we would take after our A levels so that we could go travelling around the world. We were also planning what countries we would go to and where we could stay ( with friends or family in that area). P and dad said that we could go as long as we got jobs and paid for some of it ourselves, which neither of us minded. E and mum however were not so keen, especially my mum..
When we all moved back to the lounge, we started talking again and then put on singstar abba, which J had brought with her :) it was great fun, we all joined in and all sang different songs. Me and J rocked, we got the highest score out of everyone on the duet mode :P We did a couple of battles as well where it was boys v girls. Girls won hands down and then got accused of cheating when P and dad were the ones trying to steal our mic..
We stopped playing the game at 11.50 so that we could bring in the new year. Dad maade us all drinks, some alcoholic, others not. We joined in with the countdown on the tv and then all of us raised our glasses and shouted 'HAPPY NEW YEAR' at exactly 12.00. We then all gave each other a hug (the men shook hands) and kissed each other :) I managed to find some crackers and all of those were pulled as well :)
At about 12.30 we went back to singstar because the boys wanted a re-match, the girls still beat them.. E decided to go to bed at 2, and the other adults not long after. JL started playing on his playstation and me and J went and watched 'Monsters v Aliens' in the playroom. I fell asleep half way through and was then very surprised when J told me the film was finished. Me and J went to bed about 3.20 and then stayed up chating about all things random (including boys). My last New Year text came through at 4.00, just before i went to sleep.
In the morning i was woken up by J's phone vibrating. When we went downstairs, everyone else was already up and breakfast was just going out onto the table. We all, sat round the table eating cereal, fruit and croissants. After breakfast people did whatever they wanted and about an hour later J, P and E left. Me and mum then played on the wii, i thrashed her at tennis and boxing, but she beat me at bowling.. JL and dad were watching Dr Who when we joined them. Mum then went to make lunch and we ate around 2 ish, leaving me 30 minutes before i was being picked up by M and JB to go out with them.
When i got picked up, i went back to M's house and M, JB and i sat talking for an hour, before we were due to go out to M's granddads birthday at his aunts house. While we were at M's aunts house, we sat around talking (and drinking tea for some people). His family were all very nice, and included me in their conversations even though most of them had only met me once. When toby (the dog) was let out, he came straight over to me and tried to jump on me before he could be restrained. This happened several times before he calmed down a little bit. Food was served at 7ish and it was a buffet type thing. everyone ate/drank what they wanted and then the puddings came out and were put away wen everyone had, had what they wanted. M was not feeling very well, and got gradually worse throughout the evening and asked if it was ok if we could leave at 9.20. JB dropped me off at home and i told M to go home to bed and just relax. Whether he did or not i dont know.. When i got in my parents and JL were watching Dr Who part 2 so i sat and watched the end of it with them. I was rather sad when the Dr died, and i dislike the new Dr quite a lot. He is not the same!!! i want DT back!!!!! After Dr Who we watched TP's 'The Hogfather' which is quite an awesome film :) When mum decided to watch 'Hannibal Lector', i decided it was time for bed.

That is me once again updated.. M you should be proud of me (and yes i know you reminded me that i needed to do it again but still..)
Post again soon no doubt
