Long time, no see..
Well, a lot has happened in the 2 months I haven't been on here:
I'm doing a young engineers scheme, and we have to present our findings to some judges. My team, though, were really disappointed with the project we got, so we are going to ask out teacher nicely if we can do it again next year.
- I am no longer with my boyfriend. We broke up last month, after he accused me of lying. That is all I am saying on this matter.
- I passed my driving test!! So I am out and about on the roads of South Wales, but don't worry, but driving isn't that bad!
- I recieved my January module results last week. I got a B in maths, a C in Physics, and a C in Product Design. However, after discussion with my teachers, I am only going to resit Physics. My Maths teacher said that a B isn't that bad, and as long as I get over 80% in my other modules then I will get an A. My Product Design teacher said that as long as my coursework is good, then I will get a good grade without having to resit.

2 down, 1 to go!
Well, that is 2 exams out of the way this week.
On Monday I had Maths C1. It wasn't as bad as I thought to be honest, although some of the questions were a bit, 'OMG, shit! I wish i had revised that bit!' Because unless you had, there would have been no way to work out the answer unless you knew how to do it!
We don't get official study leave for January exams, but the school are nice and let you have the day before an exam off, to revise.
I had Physics PH1 on Wednesday, so I had Tuesday off school, and I spent the day at home 'revising'.
Of course, you give anyone the day off school and they wouldn't choose to revise. So I spend the day with my boyfriend, doing absolutely nothing!
But I then realised that night that I should have actually done some revision during the day, so, about half an hour before I was meant to go to bed I picked up my textbook and managed to learn the meaning of one equation.
And, thankfully, I'm glad I did learn it because it did come up in the exam!
Considering I didn't do much revision, I didn't find the exam that difficult. But there were a few questions which you had to know the definitions of, which I didn't learn! Oops!!
My next exam is Product Design on Wednesday, which means I get Tuesday off to 'revise'!
I don't find it that difficult, it's just our teachers haven't gone through how to answer the paper with us, so at the moment out class really don't know what we are doing.
Now I have maths and physics homework to do by Monday, but I am going to Cardiff tomorrow for some retail therapy!

SNOW!!
What an awesome week!!
Now you are probably wondering what the hell I'm going on about. Well us lucky lot in Britain have had a lovely week of snow!
That has meant almost a week off for all us school goers!

I wasn't complaining though! I have a maths exam on Monday, and did absolutely no revision what-so-ever over the Christmas holiday, so I have actually managed to get some done this week!
Problem is, it's meant to snow on Sunday, and my school has told me that I have to go in for the exam anyway, even if the school is closed :(
Ah well, at least I'll get it out of the way :)

Staying Awake
Not as hard as it sounds really, but when you are in a room of girls aged 10-14, then it becomes a bit more interesting.
It was Children In Need last night, and our guide unit had decided to do a sponsered stay awake to raise money.
It basically involved us staying in the guide hut all night without anyone falling asleep. (Us being 2 Guide Leaders, 3 Young Leaders (including me), and around 20 Guides.)
The most difficult part was probably trying to stop them from sitting around doing nothing, which could have resulted in them falling asleep.
I had brought along with me, my 'suitcase' of make up, and about 2 dozen nail varnishes. These items, I hoped, would keep them at bay from the sandman.
It did, thankfully. Although I did get a bad back from hunching over to work my magic on their nails.
Overall the night was a success, and I am writing this now when i am meant to be asleep (according to my mother), even though I am not tired.... yet!
We managed to raise over £400 for the charity, even if some of the girls fell asleep just before 7 o'clock!

Meh...
I don't know what has been wrong with me this past week. I haven't been bothered to do any of my work and I don't know why.
At the end of last week I had maths homework to do by Monday, and I didn't do it. I did have a reason though. I didn't take my textbook home and my mate took my book home to copy up.
I've also got 2 pieces of physics homework to do that have to be in by tomorrow, but i can't be bothered to do them either.
Today was a pretty good day though. I went to St Fagans, the National History Museum of Wales, but the reason had nothing to do with history. Thankfully.
It was to have some lectures on different types of music and they gave us tips on composition. I wasn't complaining though, it was a day off school.
Anyway... I never seem to have enough time to do anything, and I know that I should really use my free lessons to do my work because that's what they're for.
Ah well, I guess I'll do it later...
