How was your day?

[ReZourceman]

Well that was the annual "theres a fire" drill.

 

10 minutes off work is epic win.

[Coolness Bears]

I had my English literature exam today!

 

That's pretty much all I've sone so far, except from grabbing a quick Mc Donalds on the way home.

 

I felt it went quite well, It's hard to tell with English. I did the first Section on The Tempest Alright I don't think there was many problems there!

 

Robert Browning was ok but my thoughts were all jumbled together and my ideas got a bit merged and I think I could have made them clearer.

 

The Heart of Darkness is where I found the paper most difficult as the question was really open ended and my answe lacked direction but I tried to keep it linked to the question.

 

No idea what I'm going to get but I tried my best.

 

rest of the day will be spent relaxing!

ICT exam.. I absolutely sucked ass, I got one of those mental mind blocks an hour in and just didnt know what I was doing. After getting my mind back on track, the task asked me to turn a profit in the designs I made, and I completely failed it, I just couldnt get it done within reasonable limits, attempted to skip it and got asked "Using graphical examples, explain why your design is your recommended proposal to David Green" ...I laughed a little and just thought fuck.

 

Starbucks for lunch aswell..drink was good, but my god the sandwich was not.

Did my Biology exam today. Not as bad as I dreaded, but there was one question where I basically had to waffle on about experiments on dogs...

 

Oh, and we had a fire drill too today. Bit weird as is was the first one since we moved into the new school. No-one knew what to do

Classical conditioning in Pavlov's dogs?

 

Anyway, lectures finally finished today, was a bit of an anticlimax. Working now, as I still have absurd amounts of work to do. And I have a mock on Friday, but no time to revise. Oh well... Next week sometime I suppose I'll try and apply the method of loci to metabolism.

No no, its breeding and why and how it happens, GCSE stuff that i still remember ;_;

 

My day = Piss about, for all intents and purposes i've now finished school, into the big wide world i go!

[D_prOdigy]

No no, its breeding and why and how it happens, GCSE stuff that i still remember ;_;

 

Hehe. No, it was actually about diabetes research and using dog's pancreas' to experiment with insulin extraction.

[The fish]

I just failed C4 maths, yay!

[Strider]

[DomJcg]

[ReZourceman]

I just failed C4 maths, yay!

 

Bomb making sums?

 

Geeus cist.

 

 

Seriously though, whats that?

[Eenuh]

Wheee, just played a ton of Dr. Mario matches against Coolness. I'm addicted again. X3

Seriously, I used to play that game for hoursssss, playing at night instead of sleeping. =P

 

Now though, finish some of my work, while the Dr. Mario songs play in my mind.

Hehe! I have that song imprinted on my brain now as well! Awesome games Eenuh, look forward to playing some more!

 

I have a feeling your going to get me addicted to Dr. Mario! (If I'm not already X3)

 

It's gonna be my new Tetris!

 

I'll be up all night practising just so I can beat you in one Match!

[Supergrunch]

I just failed C4 maths, yay!

You were getting As in the practice papers, right? I wouldn't worry too much then, UMS is your friend. I thought I'd failed my C4, but got 100 UMS.

[MoogleViper]

Bomb making sums?

 

Geeus cist.

 

 

Seriously though, whats that?

 

Core 4 maths. It's what you learn in the last half of the last years of A levels.

What's UMS?

[Slaggis]

You'll of done well Fish, don't worry.

Spent the day with broadband for the first time in ages. Finally been able to access music again. I've developed a new fascination with Alphabeat, I need their album now!

 

About to go out for a bit, it's nice to not have to do revision for a while. Well deserved break.

[Supergrunch]

What's UMS?

Unified marking scheme. It's the value you actually get as a result, and comes about from variations statistical manipulations they carry out on the raw marks to make things fair. For instance, if the paper is particularly hard, they might shift all the marks up, or vice versa. It basically means that you can do well on a hard paper, even if you didn't answer loads of it, provided you did better than most people.

Most people found it killer gruncho, but i dunno, they wouldn't shift that much i don't think, i hope thats the case for my computing exam, twozzok will know what i'm talking about, (p.s. i know your with another board, but do you understand TCP/IP protocol?). But the guy in our class is like, nearly 100% in all our modules so far ;_; it's unlikely...

[Twozzok]

Haha, fish, you hink you failed. I've been getting D/E's in past papers.

 

Then that fucking paper came, seriously, hardest thing yet.

 

D2 was piss though, it's amazingly simple. One thing I couldn't remember but that's just memory, none of this applying logic to find different identities shit.

 

EDIT: What about tcp/ip?

 

I know some basic shit about it.

Seriously, they really do shift it that much. I have got full UMS on papers where I didn't answer over a third of the questions. (M2, and C4 wasn't much better, ever done June 2006 as a practice paper?)

I just had one of the strangest experiences of my life!

I went to look at a houseshare from an advert in gumtree. It seemed awesome, as its low rent and the location was amazing. I was starting to get a bit of a weird vibe about it as he texted me at 7am on monday to ask if i was a naturist :S

 

so i went along anyway. He answered the door semi naked, which obviously suprised me, but I figured that aybe that was a thing of his. I reckoned he was just a 40 year old gay, which is fine, as they tend to be quite peacefull and entertaining.

 

So he made me some tea, which again i thought was weird as none of the other house viewings have included tea and a sit down, its been a quick look around, a thankyou then going. The flat looked nice, definitely looked like a middle aged gay apartment, then i noticed that on the sofa next to him was a couple of porn dvd's. Now I don't know about you, but I keep anything like that hidden away, and not out on the sofa when I am meeting people.

 

The conversation was going fine, just normal pleasantries. Then It starts geting into porn and sex. It became apparent he was a bit bi, as he told me several stories that tbh made me quite unconfortable. Then he started asking me questions. Those of you who know me on here will know that i'm, shall we say, quiet, when it comes to the ladies, so I was being asked questiond that unfortunately I couldn;t really relate to (although many of them I think it'd take someone pretty sleazy to be able to relate to). It was around this point that it was becoming obvious this was not somewhere I wanted to live, but as I had a fresh cup of tea I couldn't just go.

 

So the conversation finally moves away from very intimate sexual details and i'm feeling a bit better. Then all of a sudden he picks up his TV remote, and puts some porn on. Remeber at this point he's already half naked. So we're watching it (I still have half a cup of very nice tea left) and i notice out of the corner of my eye some movement. Yes, a man I met 35 minutes ago is sitting there masturbating in front of a guy he's just met.

 

And of course, the conversation now gets back onto even more intimate sex stuff (He keeps asking me if i'd ever consider being filmed having sex :S) and he's asking me stuff I never thought anyone would need to ask me. At one point we start discussing the merits of circumcism vs uncircumcised.

 

Luckily, my tea is now finished, but I have another issue. Do I wait till he's 'finished' before I ask to go? Is he actually planning on finishing, or is he just having a play? Is it rude to interupt someone in 'mid-flow' as it were? I was also getting very worried about what his plans were for me, there's only so many times you can ask someone if they would consider having sex in front of a camera before it sounds like a hint.

 

I ultimately went for self preservation over trying not to interrupt, and make an excuse and went. I did NOT shake his hand on the way out though - he was still using it even as he walked me to the door.

Oh ok. That might be why I got 78 on C1 when I didn't even answer it all.
