Just a few months ago I was sitting in the library everyday, thinking about transition metals (some other stuff too, but mainly transition metals ( Read more... )

Seems like a lifetime since I used this thing. I'm feeling that pre-school year dread so I thought I'd better write some happy stuff in here before things get school-like...

So summer flew by like a small flying ant with really fast rollerblades and maybe a small rocket, but not one that would blow you up because that might be a bit icky, and ( Read more... )

Just to edit the entry before last...

I don't want four As anymore - I would be quite happy with 2As and 2Bs...

This change of heart appeared after completely neglecting History revision due to too much Science stuff to do - although at least they asked about detente, the only question I was capable of answering. I even managed to remember Glasnost ( Read more... )

I've recently reacquainted myself with the brilliant boybands of the late 90s/early 2000s (?) because I wanted to. Even those girls who claim to be 'too cool for boybands' and also 'school' cannot deny that boybands are part of who we are today. And they bring so much joy into your life...

A few weeks ago, before all this exam nonsense began, I was ( Read more... )

I hate to join in with the current ‘funeral entries’ of this week, but I feel like I must write about what happened today so that I may look back on it and you know, just depress myself.

My nan died on Saturday morning. I knew she’d died before my mum even broke it to me, probably because she came into my room at 4am and said, ‘I have to go to ( Read more... )

I’m sure you will all remember my entry accounting last year’s ‘Art Coursework Day,’ in which Laura and I walked down to the old railway in the field by school (or ‘The Raller’ as I’m told its called) to eat our lunch and we were almost attacked by a vicious dog. Well, we weren’t really, a dog just walked past us and it looked quite vicious but it ( Read more... )

Oh what an amazing day. Oh what what what an amazing day. Today, Lois and I went to see Hanson at Manchester Academy (1) for the third time. Oh what a time. I shall delve into all the details, as it is very necessary to delve.

So Lois and I got the 11.22am train to Manchester Oxford Road (we were meant to go earlier but bank holiday bus service, ( Read more... )

Today was...interesting...

I was in Biology and casually setting up the apparatus for the coursework practical (seeing the effect of temperature on the membrane permeability of beetroot cells - oh goody!!!). I lit the bunsen with a nice little split and blew it out before throwing it in the bin, then I realised that I hadn't actually blown it out.

It has recently come to my attention how mean people can really be. When you're in a 'friendship group' that consists mainly of boys, you'd think that the bitchiness wouldn't exist or at least would be far from the bitchiness that exists between a load of girls. But I've come to discover that boys can be far far more bitchy, but in an evil 'i'll be ( Read more... )

On Friday, we disected a fish head in Biology - salmon to be exact. And yes, I've already told most people about my evil partner, but I shall type it all again so that I can remain outraged.

'She' thought it would be funny to start slicing the poor head open with a scalpol and cutting off its fins with a pair of scissors - oh the hilarity. How old ( Read more... )
