Yippeeeeeeeee
Thursday consists of me staying in school all day to do an English GCSE paper and Geogrpahy GCSE paper and then returning back home for a weeks holiday.
It's not just an ordinary holiday though, my Gamecube and two games has been sitting here for a few days gathering dust after I found my parents were hiding it from me so I could revise. I wondered why it still hadn't delivered. Once I found them out I told them I wasn't intending in using my Cube until the holiday anyway and so i nicked it from beaneath the stairs (bad hiding place), opened it up, looked at it and put it away again to rest...until Thursday night that is.
I can't wait to plug that baby into my widescreen TV with surround sound etc and just know I haven't got any exams. For a week anyway :-(
So, apart from playing Gamecube, next week should be pretty fun. Get to post on here instead of revising, get to play Gamecube instead of revising, get to practice and record with my band with no no instead of revising and also get to revise without...urm...I suppose a bit of revision has to be done next week.
Also may be going somewhere with family mid week, little break to somewhere and others stuff should be happening like just random stuff which pops up. That stuff can be fun.
I think it's half-term for most in school next week, so if your not at school next week or not at work etc what will you be up to?
Now I'm off up to my bed with some Geography case study sheet things which I need to know but don't. The rest is easy.
Sleep well and happy Thursday :-)

I had my English GCSE today too. Then I went home.
I spent about 40 minutes on the first part of the first question and I was only supposed to spend 20 minutes on it! However, I did Section B really quickly and then I went back and write even more on the first bit.

I had my Platstation while I was doing my exams 2 years ago. I never studied once and kind of screwed them up slightly..er....well..a lot actually. You are best to study, trust me. I've been stuck in college for the last 2 years.
lol friday seems to be a great day for uss alll *nods* *rubs his hands at the sight of SSBM*
MWA what english exam was it...? I'm assuming it musta been a different examining board or something, cos I did the English Media Texts exam today and got different Q's to you... (unless you did foundation...?) Anyways, I had OCR exam, and I think I did well... Q1 was write a summary of this article that went on about why people do things that are risky (ie. bungee jumps, skydives and some other extreme things...). That was okay, and I think I wrote just enough words for the word limit...
Then Q2 was comparing two articles, the last one and another about this dude who did four risky things... sky dive, bungee, and two others I can't remember... I think that Q was okay, but I'm not really sure if I answered the Q properly... ah I thihnk it was okay... I used some big words, which is always useful :D
Anyways, the last Q was doing an essay discussing the sentance "Everyone needs some excitement and risk in their lives" and whether you agree with it. I basically had a go at consumerism, business, government, school... and probably others... for making life boring and saying stuff like teenagers don't just do drugs for their effect, but also the excitement from the risk of gewtting caught... stuff like that... Well, even if it gets a crap mark, I think it was a great essay because for once I could write about something I had an opinion on, not something I just think... 'this is bull hooks, I don't care' and then just write random crap for a page and a half.
Well, a week off, I'll be going to my local pub/venue to see some bands play, going to the IOW rock fest (limeup don't look great, but a local punk band are opening the show!) but I doubt we'll be paying to get in, either buying a cheap ticket (they wanted to sell about 20,000 and have sold under 10,000 I think...) or just watching from a hill or something... and then Wednesday I *think* I'll be going to a party on a beach somewhere for the night... dunno about the rest of the week... revising? Maybe.

Kant, Descartes and John Stuart Mill are idiots.

I'll tell you what really sucked!
Today I had a one and a half hour computing exam.
I finished it in 30 minutes leaving me bored for an hour.
I could've survived that.
The moment it finally finished, we got a five minute breather (they wouldn't let us leave the sports hall) and then started ANOTHER 90 minute exam which was finished in 30 minutes.
It was torture.
Also, this morning's maths exam seemed easy, only one or two of the questions weren't clear on what they were asking and I found it more or less impossible to answer. Stupid really, especially when I knew the course inside out.
