Exam didn't go quite as badly as i had expected. I probably didn't do 'amazingly' well and out-do my own expectations but i feel like i did alot better then i would. Questions that came up were pretty nice, specific...so easier to find quotes for and to focus on certain points. Its just media now and ive got a week to revise for it, a halfterm week, the one week to relax, that im supposed to revise, that im alone at my house for. Yeah im pretty sure you get the point there.

I have the next week sort of well planned, or at least i have a general idea of whats going on each day. Of course i now have to be told of the one fuck up. The one that seems to be coming up quite a lot on me recently. Kieran. Destroyer of happiness. Every fucking time. Hes decided to come home for friday to monday, of which is over one the first day people are staying and then two the night back from the balti. Im going to try and get him out for sunday. Fuck me, seriously. Does he have no life? WTF.

The Da Vinci Code is pretty good.

I wish i had something a little more interesting to say on here. Im starting to notice how similar my posts sound.

Sorry Temporarily Unavailible.

Im pretty much going to haver to go ahead and accept the concequences on my laziness on the day of collecting results for AS. It's taken me up until two days before exams to realise that ive got to put effort and work in to achieve good grades. I know, reading that it sounds obvious right. Thats exactly why i feel like such a fucking idiot. Ive just tried to get through this year doing as little as possible and now im going to see the effects first hand. Il admit that i havn't got into anything at college this year, like i cant say ive particuarly enjoyed any of my subjects alot or even that much at all. I spose its not always about enjoying it so much but instead about just getting them done so that i have something to use for furthering myself.

Ive been very slow this year. Too slow. Fuck.

Oui Oui Oui!

Sorry, i sort of avoided this thing over the past week or so, i was kind of busy last week with finishing off all my graphics and digital film work and ive been seeing people and working the evenings from them too. Thank fuck i can now finally say that both of those lessons are finished for AS. The night before it all went in was, ironically, the hardest i have ever worked for either subject. I sat until around three in the morning finishing off little bits of work, writing to fill up gaps or sticking images down for annotations. Friday it all went in. Ive signed, handed over and completed both and it feels amazing. I still have two other exams coming up though so i need to quickly get over my 'phew relax' period and get back into revising for them. Priority is english right now.

I had my first full week at Waitrose last week. It was alot different to the veg shop, i now realise just how lucky i was there really. Sure the money was shit and it wasn't particuarly exciting but i could get away with so much and did so little, its hit me pretty hard just how much you have to work in the 'better' jobs. It was alright though. Im slowly getting into the practise of where to go and what to do, luckily i have alot of people offering their help to me most of the time which is really useful and nice.

Ive spent so much time of Left4Dead. Seriously, my life has been taken over by trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. I GOTTA LIVE THROUGH IT. I played it today on co-op with Caitlin. It was pretty hilarious. I enjoyed it....alot.

Yeahboy. Life is still pretty sexy.

Domkolsch.

This weekend has been one of best ive ever experienced.

France and Germany were both absolutely amazing. Seeing the few different places, people, trying the foods and drink, just generally feeling something completely different and new. It was really weird just because its a whole new atmosphere. Everyone is walking around, usually semi-drunk at the least and very very friendly. My aunt and uncle are so nice for taking me, i appreciate it so much. Having Caitlin there just made it all the better too. She has single handedly made me the happiest i have felt in months, across 3 days? I can't think of a better way to have spent the days leading up to my 17th. I will have the image of sitting on the stairs in front of the Dom Cathedral with Caitlin in my mind for years and years to come.

My actual birthday has also been really nice this year. I have these rare moments where i suddenly realise what amazing things and people i have in my life, and how lucky i am. Today has been one of those days. Im so glad i have the friends and family i do. Although 17 may not be a particuarly 'landmark' age, this will definitly not be one i forget.

God i sound so sad. I really am just feeling extremely happy, life is good.
