Composition started!

And I actually managed to arrive at my clarinet lesson within 10 mins of when I was supposed to! Thank gawd for that. And now I reckon that I can have my music composition done tres rapido. Grade 8 round the corner though...scales scales scales pieces scales scales aural scales sight reading scales scales scales. etc

Downloaded what I thought was mozilla prism earlier but its not...actualy I have no idea what it is. Anyway I'lll get it in school tomorrow.

Played at church for the old-people's home today...interesting but I don't think it was the best performance, also a bit awkward at the end where we were just standing in their canteen area whilst they were munching away.

Gave friend my notes on manual handling, even though he should have taken his own. In return I have ROTK extended edition over the weeked! :)

Anyway college+clarinet = late night so that'll be all for today.

Wednesday is work day

Yeah, 2 languages in one day is waaay too much! French assistant was slightly better, perhaps cause my french was slightly better. And I managed to survive Spanish.

Yesterday I managed to get laptop online at school!! Tis great cause I can download freely for an hour. Only 3 more college theory lessons left! Manual handling is teh failage. Boxing in PE was great!If you get angry enough with the punchbag exercise actually becomes fun :) I suppose the novelty wears off after a while though so I won't be getting one myself.

Protonic.com apparently was on some TV program so I just went on to help them cope with several hundred questions they've received since then. I feel very ignorant looking at the list of problems.

Why is it always spanish?

So tomorrow I've got college...on wed I have Spanish! AAARGH speaking homework. Less than 200mb of the extra 1gb left :~ cant wait till thur but I'm worried that I'll download it all in one go.

Today was fine...making some progress in systems but the program doesn't seem to work :(
Also yesterday...not much but we went up the beacon which was nice...bit of an anticlimax after burns evening! Then again a day with the laptop is always a day well spent.

I'm sitting in Lucie's room atm - on zans exercise ball which forces me to sit up straight-quite good really though its getting kinda exhausting. Had a long convo with Zan yesterday-she's just had her nose pierced! Seems to be having fun at uni...I think that I'll take further maths cause I'll need it to go into engineering.

Must write some more of the book but that'll have to wait as I'm teaching in 5mins and have 7 funnies (emails) to read.

Update:
Apparently I actually didn't write the post that I thought that I'd written. Burns evening on sat was great-up at Lukesland. Haggis was really nice-first year that I've properly enjoyed the thing...just so long as no-one tells me what it actually is! "There are some things that will never look appetising - for everything else there's haggis! Scottish dancing was actually quite fun **shock horror** though a tad to much seasoned whiskey going around! And they say that us youths are always getting drunk! Me and Katharine were sitting on the side making critical comments about how under-the-influence the grown-ups were :)

Report Day

Interesting news on the way to school (I'd seen the headline on digg feed yesterday) american scientists have sort of 'created life' in a bacteria cell. Quite snazzy really.

Subscription to support alert has been awesome-I now run my entire windows desktop from the hard drive! Very shiny piece of software... Roboform recently downloaded but I'll install that later.

Spanish=blargh and 4x4 was utterly pointless and infuriating...I know electronics are my priority!!

French Madness

The french assistant is pure evil...I mean she asked my friend to say what there is to do in Plymouth which is impossible in English never mind french!! Managed to miss my french speaking practice as well...blargh

Got a look at the report...as things stand I'll make it into 6th form...now I have to decide what to do there.
Physics, Maths, Philosophy, Lit are all OK, but the decision is whether to do the Greek GCSE or Further Maths...which I'd need if I ever had a drunk moment and applied to Cambridge for engineering. The politics teacher is really good, and he's a communist which is awesome! So I'm stuck with wanting to do 6 A levels plus Greek and general studies AAARGH! I wonder what would happen if I did Greek and further maths?! Could be very interesting indeed...I think I could manage it so long as I said goodbye to my laptop life (yes laptop, not social)

Otherwise quite an ordinary day-train there and back, made survivable my a packet of Doritos on offer at Tesco's. In English she showed us how screwed we would be as far as timekeeping is concerned if we took the exam now...though someone managed to get full marks in the bloomin mock! Blargh is the word.

That'll do as I got the support alert newsleter today and I can't wait to read some of the articles!

-12% of download limit remaining!

Aunt's book on tv!

Just watched Kate on Richard and Judy - pretty amazing to be able to talk like that about your work. Now some actors are discussing it...not sure how many books they've read!
Anyway today was reasonably dull...managed to survive 30mins with the Spanish assistant! Wednesday fails big time...still 2 days to go. Then again easy compulsory R.S. lesson in which we watched Hotel Rwanda (shame on me if i spelt that wrong) so shocking...you can't really comprehend it. I am soo privileged to live here.

Still 7 days left of January and 7 days left of this download limit=hellish situation as I'm already 10% over! At least I'm wearing a new pair of contacts...just need to look after them now.

I started mugglecast 127 and now wish that I'd downloaded Year In the Life Of JK Rowling cause then I could have sent it to them and they'd be really pleased...ah well you can't have everything and I'd be in biiig trouble if I'd downloaded it then anyway. Luckily we recorded R & J so no one has to watch it online.

And that's it for today...retarded underlinings

6months ago I was still reading Deathly Hallows!

Oh the joys of school and all that...listening to mugglecast 126 on the way home from school-I've really got a lot of catching up to do there (128 released on sun).

A while back I discovered meebo.com - revolutionary messaging service and all within firefox. Thanks to a ton of jimmyr.com tutorials firefox has never looked so good.

Also thanks to jimmyr, I've got into video editing with open source software (audacity, virtualdub etc) Not much luck trying to dubb over Alastor Moody-this could be something to do with the laptop though. However I did make a video 'If the Universe Ran Windows.'

Lat friday laptop scared the life out of me-after runing easycleaner a load of messages popped up demanding that I reinstall windows...thankfully I managed to save it with 'restore files' and the recycle bin.

The amazonians are still together, and they keep me going through thick and thin ('thick' being school and associated issues 'thin' being writing and discovering some kinda new free software)

That'll do for now...ciao!
