General Ramblings

Please note: I typed this blog post ages ago, but didn't get round to uploading it until now. This eans that some of this may not make sense. Just read it like you have gone back about a week or two.

Well, I don’t know where to begin. Christmas has come and gone, and we are already in 2006. 2005 was last year, and I am going to be another year older (as all are). There are lots of things I could talk about, but one of the most important ones is what I am going to say now, so that is why this is the first thing.
After several, um, complaints (!) from a particular person that my blog entries are so funny she laughs really loudly and then gets kicked out of the library, I have decided to categorise my blog entries. (Of course, this is one possible solution to the problem, there are lots more, e.g. the particular person could read my blog somewhere else but we won’t go into that. The categories I have come up with so far are:

· General Ramblings - Theses posts will be like my personal diary.
· Moans and Groans - Self-explanatory.
· Humorous Stuff – e.g. jokes, funny stories, possibly quotes.
· Quotes – any size shape and form
· Other/Misc – stuff that doesn’t fit in (the other categories).

I also plan to put ‘humorous content’ or maybe have a humorous rating at the top of the post, so that the particular person has no excuse for getting thrown out of the library.

As I write this, there is snow falling outside my window but when you read this there probably won’t be. It looks really pretty, and there is quite a lot falling; it is quite heavy, but it isn’t settling.

I have been doing maths coursework today – 2 of 2. It means that I am ahead of the others – except for Rich, as I am working with him - and so the time that I won’t have to spend on maths coursework when the others do it can be spent on something else. I hope so anyway. It is quite easy at the moment, just manipulating data in Excel. I type in the data, type in the formulas, and Excel does the rest. ‘Bingo’.
I have to start my citizenship c/w (also 2 of 2) soon, which is writing up my participation on something. I am going to do my work experience, as I went to the SNJ. Over this weekend I also have to do geography – circuit flow diagram things – and (more) French. Lets start a new paragraph.

French. J’ai deteste ca. I have just done 1 piece of coursework, and now we have moved on to the next one. The good thing is that I have this second one all done; I did it ages ago. Others don’t, but that is not my problem. I just have to check it over this weekend and then hand the final copy in for Wednesday. It should be relatively easy, as I have already had it checked once already. The good thing is that the coursework gets me out of the writing part of the exam, but it also means that if I miss one singular deadline for the coursework, I go straight back into the writing exam – something I really don’t want.
The pain in the bum part of French is the learning lots of crap for the oral. I have to learn one presentation, (I have basically, but I have to refresh it in my mind again), and shit loads of questions and answers. I have 5 A4 pages, double sided, of questions and answers to learn, and the great thing is, I don’t have the foggiest which questions the examiner is going to ask me. Great. Fantastic. The speaking/listening/reading parts of the exam are the bits I am hating, as there is so much learning to do, and I am so crap at French that I know I am going to fail. One way of looking at it is that I am going to fail a subject I didn’t want to do, and never will use again, so I suppose it doesn’t matter.
I think I am going to do a different post about coursework, as I have so much to say, including geography (its all over!) and others. >>It’s still snowing, but not as heavy now.

So, not only do I have to do French over the weekend, I also have to do geography, possible citizenship, I have already done my maths, and probably more French, as I have to learn the first page of my oral questions. L’environment. How exciting. Never mind, moving on.

Many things have happened over Christmas, and in the Christmas Holidays. I went to see the Chronicles of Narnia with A at Stroud. That was a good film, but probably needs a separate post. I have quite a list now: - Films Good and Bad (HP and Chronicles), Christmas Presents e.t.c, as well as possible another post on the coursework situation. Oh, and I did say that I was going to do one for mock exam results didn’t I? All in good time. I won’t go into Christmas presses here, as that will be in another post. I might do one about work experience. Last year was so long ago (see what I mean) and I haven’t posted very much at all, so I really should fill the world in with everything that has been going on in my life. It is going to take a long time though, so just hang about. Keep reading, and keep posting. I am going to end here; it seems like a good place to end and I can’t remember anything else of what I was going to say, so it seems like a place to stop.
