Time to update...

Since I haven't updated in three weeks it's List Time (not in chronological order because that would take effort).

- We got a new kettle (the old one broke)! It is lit up blue when it is off and red when it is boiling water... (although I wanted the kettle that cycled through all the colours).
- I don't like General Studies. Although today we saw a boy that looked like Nick Jonas, so Gursimren tries to take a photo of him secretly which was amusing.
- Went to see District 9 which was alright. I also watched Casino Royale since it was on the other night (now I can say I've seen a Bond film! (You all know I fail at watching movies)).
- Had a failed spork pirate meeting.
- Have had two cake psychology lessons - yay! and we're having cake tomorrow in critical thinking.
- Life drawing in art isn't too bad.
- Otherwise art pisses me off. Psychology is my favourite lesson and I quite like maths, even if I don't understand a lot of it. Biology is usually uneventful (and yes I have witnessed Mr L with his shirt tucked into his boxers).
- Have had too much work to do (we had to make a poster in psychology. I don't like making posters - I spend too long on them when I should be doing other stuff - they are a form of procrastination!).
- Lots of other stuff which I have done but forgotten.

Tetris Pieces and Cake Friday

Well I've had four full days of sixth form so far and I am exhausted. I even tried to nap today but failed. This was mainly due to me still trying to solve a puzzle in my head that we were doing in tutorial. In our tutorial program at the moment we are doing mathematical reasoning and we got one of those confusing maths puzzles. This one was where there was a 4x4 grid and each square was a different colour, with the one where the treasure was being gold. There were certain clues as to where certain colours were in relation to another. To work this out I saw which colours I could map out, and then tried to fit them together. At this point they turned into Tetris pieces in my head, which made it easier for some reason. By the end of the half hour the Tetris pieces had become slightly angry and more evil. I have now figured out the solution (I got distracted from my maths homework. I also got excited when I realised I had a whole sheet of maths homework. (This probably Miss K's fault; she taught me maths the last two years and is so enthusiastic about it.) This is completely different from year 7 where I hated maths and got 49% in my end of year test) and the Tetris pieces are happy.

One thing that I have managed to annoy myself with is the fact that I use my blue/turquoise folder for psychology and purple folder for maths. It should be the other way round seeing as psychology is a Purple subject and maths is a Blue subject (they are on my timetables). Although if I switched them around I would get confused. Maybe they should just stay that way round.

Tomorrow in our psychology lessons it is cake Friday! Although we haven't yet devised the cake rota so I don't know if there will actually be any cake (I will obviously be making brownie when it is my turn). I actually quite like Friday. Psychology, Art and PE (where there will soon be squash rage! I actually hate sport, it's just now we can sort of mess about (or so I'm hoping)).

Subject colours and Obese Starfish

Haven't updated in a while (yes I know I said I would update more - well I lied. I'm very sorry) so I guess I should talk.

Tuesday I went to Hannah's house for her leaving party so we just sat and chatted and I got to meet Ella, one of Hannah's friends.

Wednesday and Thursday I didn't really do much apart from finish off some homework and watch Harry Potter 4 because it was on television. It is such an awful film but not as bad as the third. (and it has Edward Cullen in it. Hilarious.) Well I didn't really have anything better to do so it was a good time waster. I also tidied my room up. Upon tidying my room I found drawings I did of Milky (from Blur's Coffee and TV video) in year 9 and also other anthropomorphic food and just generally remembered good times. I also found rough books from year 7 and remembered how I sort of wanted to be a goth back then. I have no idea why. Most of my rough books were filled with doodles that Rosie and I did. Good times.

Friday - first day back at school but we didn't really do anything and Imogen and I argued about what colours certain subjects should be (we were colouring in our time tables).

Yesterday I got my DofE book finally signed off (wahey!). One stress over. Now I am stressing about buying white lab coats and maths text books.

Today I met up with Frankie, we went to Shakeaway and I had a Bournville flavour milkshake. We wandered round shops, then went down to the river and listened to some of the Labyrinth soundtrack (I want to watch it again now. and I need to buy the soundtrack) and some of her other songs (some by Hannah Montana. Yes I know, I know). We also decided that a giant obese starfish lives in the Thames with loads of rubber and foam duck henchmen. We are not insane. Really. Before I left she gave me Gareth David-Lloyd's (Ianto in Torchwood) signature which was cool.

Now I'm stressing out over general stuff. Rawr.
