Whoot!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Tommorow is my last day. Tommorow is my last day. Tommorow is my last day!

Well...technically it's supposed to be Friday, but there's the leaver's mass on that day and I never show up to mass unless a friend of mine specifically begs asks me to come along. Also, I have to go in on the days that I have exams. But I have no more lessons!
And my next exam isn't until 5th June! =D

Carl is on cloud nine right now. Also, he has pr0n - and that just makes his day even better.

Post before bed

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
It's 23:16 and I'm going to bed. What's wrong with me? I never go to bed before 01:00. :p

Anyway, all that stuff yesterday got sorted out. It's all good now.
I have 3 essays due for ethics (well...they're actually all late) tommorow, 1 is almost done. Haven't started the other two. Ethics is 3rd, I have a free second, but I'm supposed to go see the counsellor then. It's my last session with her and all that.
Maybe I'll just say I've lost my pendrive somewhere. I'm known for misplacing things anyway.

Psychology exam friday. Have I revised? No.
Although it is a resit, and ergo not as important as the A2 exams. If I do worse, I just keep the last grade and that was what I needed for uni anyway. :)
It's slightly pointless to make entire classes resit a paper just so they can try and get a few more marks. >_>

I could be finishing those essays instead of panicking, and then needing to go read fanfic to calm me down.
/pathetic excuse

Oh well, in 1 month (One?! YAGH!) all exams will be over. In two weeks I don't even need to come into school anymore. (hell yes)

Night all.

RL Update

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
1 exam down, 8 to go! =D

I think it went well, at least my teacher said so. I kept stumbling at some points but I also kept managing to save myself. lol

We'll see anyway.

Mini RL Update

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Speaking exams start Thursday. Mine is at 1:57(wtf?) PM on Friday. Awesome. I get more revision time. =D
Staying off on thursday as well to study so that I can have an excuse to mooch about at home so that I can do some last minute revision.
I'm going to miss the mock psychology test on thursday afternoon though. But I've seen the teacher about that and I'm doing it next week.

Then I have about 2 weeks before my next exam. Sweeeeet!

Anyway, I have to go eat now, maybe chill for a bit and read something, then go and cram my head full of french shit.

Aurevoir!

Party time over.

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Two weeks holiday is over. Sixth form starts again tommorow. I have an essay due in first lesson. I have about a page written. Oops. Can't be bothered to care right now lol. The lesson should be interesting anyway as the last lesson before the hols ended up becoming a mini-soap opera which involved a student basically telling the teacher she's shit, teaching crying, teacher leaving the lesson then coming back 5 minutes before the end and handing out our holiday homework. Going to be awkward tommorow.

I've almost done the french homework, but that's not due until tommorow afternoon and I have no lessons between 1st lesson and 4th lesson, so I can do it then.

I also have an appointment at the opticians at 4pm. Haven't been in two years, I think I'm probably going to need new glasses.

I also need to go find the counsellor. Everytime I go to her office she's not there though lol. I think I might just leave a note on her desk.

I think that's everything right now...

Oh! wait, guess what my mother has ordered for us? Seasons 1-3 of House!
I also ordered The Sims: Open For Business for myself, and she ordered The Sims: Nightlife for herself.

And I'm not sure if I mentioned this before or not but I'm going to be visiting my family in Brazil from 24th June to the 24th July. Then on 19th August I will turn 19, then in september I will (hopefully) be buggering off to uni.
I feel old. When the hell did I hit mid-teens, let alone 19?

Ack! Exams in just over a month! (french speaking exams next month!). Fuck. Gotta start some cramming sessions.

Later,
Carl

I need to update more

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Other than, you know, whining and stuff. (about trains and college mostly)

Erm...thing is, not much is going on really. I spend most of my free time reading fanfiction/playing sims/watching tv. In that order. Although...it's generally pretty much only the first one unless the internet dies. XD
I haven't heard back from Edinburgh Uni yet. But apparently they're taking ages for everyone because their system died or something. Lol.
Although, they have 2 post-application visit days. One which has already gone, and the other one is in roughly 10 days i think. I bet they only tell me the day before the open day. >_>

I'm so fucking sick of this school. I can't wait to leave. It's full of arseholes.
I think I might end up going to Aberdeen. When I went there for the open day I already made friends. (current students). Hell one of them offered me a job at one of the bars. lol!

I'm going to go now and read some fanfiction, then maybe try and get the motivation to do some work or catch up on my flist.

Note to self: DON'T LEAVE THINGS TO THE LAST MINUTE.

238 words of french essay written. Need around 700. My eyes are shutting of their own volition. My head is drooping. It is 23:30. No clue whatsoever about what to write. French politics = the evilest of all evils.

Due tommorow morning, first thing.

*flails*

Anyone here speak french, or at least know something about Sarkozy? XD

Exams

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Just ignore this. It's mainly in case I lose the sheet with the exam dates, which knowing me, I probably will )

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Soo, I left the house around 9:30 am today, and got to Lancaster at around 11:45 ish for the University Open Day. (I've applied for Philosophy and Religious Studies there, and got a conditional offer of BBB). 'Twas good. Me likes.
Department = cool
Modules = cool
Professors = cool
Other applicants = cool (+ hot, if you include this one guy that I couldn't stop staring at - picture a younger version of snape with waist length hair wearing a really cool looking suit *drool*)




Also, I am really really bad when it comes to relationship stuff. I just can't do it. I'm a bad boyfriend. Bad. And also... not a boyfriend at the minute as I've been dumped. Frankly, I think it was a very good idea of hers. No one should date me. Just don't. I'll probbaly avoid/ignore you, never return your calls, forget anniversaries/birthdays, and be really really bad at communicating with you.

Enough bad stuff. Can't do that. I'll get depressed again and I can't 'cos I have lots of school work due in next week and I need to start revising and my head needs to be focused on the revision, not on whining about how life sucks and I'm a shitty human being that should go die now.

I'm going to go read fanfiction, it's pretty much one of my few methods that I have of cheering me up.

I am so messed up right now.

Two full days in a row I've been at school now. Go me. Now I just need to keep this up.

EDIT:
Mam came home from work, and guess what?
She bought me a new shirt from the mens section. XD

Meh, I'm being monitored at school now which means no more going down to durham during my free periods damnit. I'm also seeing the school counsellor.

Anyway, enough depressing RL shit, I think I somehow managed to acquire a new fandom obsession from watching only one episode.
I just watched House for the first time and am in love/lust. Seriously.
I've been meaning to broaden my fanfiction reading skills (frankly I've ran out of Buffy and HP fanfiction to read) so I may look for some House fanfiction, and maybe some Stargate fanfiction. I might try to read some Star Trek fanfiction as well, but for some reason I prefer to just watch the episodes than to read the fanfic for that show, it's just a totally different atmosphere from the other fandoms when it comes to fics, y'know?

Anyway, yeah.

Whoooo

I just got another uni offer! lol!
Stirling has offered me a place conditional upon getting CC (yes, only two) grades at A2. Apparently they count the entry requirements by points, not actual grades, and I had enough from AS that I don't really need that many this year. ^^

I is happy.

Uni

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I just got my first Uni offer from Dundee! XD
Now all I need is to get at least CCC in my exams. I think I'll manage. :p

I have Ethics coursework to finish off, and guess what?
I left my Ethics folder in my locker at school.

*headdesk*

I have what I've written so far on my pen drive (which I have with me!) but the notes that the teacher made are in the folder. >_<

I guess I'm going to have to try and remember what she wrote, then in my free period first lesson I shall have to type like mad!

    I went into Sixth Form today. The last time I was in was over a week, almost two weeks, ago. I really should show up more, but I can never feel bothered to drag myself in. I did today, and guess what? I'm not really behind at all. I'm ahead in some things because of the reading I've done at home!
    School seems so very pointless to me at times.
    I did go to the Psychology Soc. at lunchtime and that was interesting. We watched a short video on Schizophrenia and then had a Q&A session with a psychology student from the local Uni.
    I'm thinking of starting a Philosophy Debate club. There already is a debate club but it focuses more on political aspects. So I was thinking of a debate club where we debate about the things we learn in class because frankly, the debates we end up having take up way too much lesson time lol. I figured somewhere for those debates to go might be appreciated. And it might look good on the UCAS form seeing as I want to study Philosophy. ;)
    So I'll talk to my teacher about it tommorow.

    That's all for now. I'm going to go do some French work.
    Au revoir!
    ~Carl

    EDIT:
    I was just watching A Place in The Sun with my mam.
    I am bloody well going to go live in Transylvania, or at least retiring there!
    1. The place is f-ing gorgeous.
    2. SO FRICKIN' CHEAP!
    There was one house on there that had like a huge garden behind it and was £11,000.
    And another one had 7 double bedroom, 3 bathrooms etc. and was £44,000.
