Eden is relaxed again:)

After yesterdays much needed rant I'm now relaxed again because I have two weeks off school and we're going to Alton Towers tomorrow!!

I think we're heading to Oblivion first then working our way around the park. Seriously, if you've never been, just go! It's brilliant! (Obviously don't if you hate big rides, but I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie so for me its great) Apparently the new ride, Nemesis Sub-Terra isn't as good as the others, and a waste of £4 million, but we might go on it if the queue isn't too long and I'll see if the reviews are true.

I've sorted out my outfit already and I just need to ask my mum for money (always awkward) and pack my sweets and water then I'm ready!

This is just a short post but I didn't want to leave my last post for a few days as yesterdays!

Eden is stressed!

Everything is just happening at once and I'm so stressed and annoyed! I have to fill my work experience form in tonight because the one place I wanted to go didn't reply to my emails so now I'm in the hands of the careers service. Knowing my luck I'll end up in McDonald's for a week! I have to number 5 types of placement in order of preference and I can't decide what to put. I know I want to put library work, retail pharmacist (although I can't see how that'll work seen as you have to train for years to be able to sell medicine), florist's assistant, retail sales and either legal and administration, but I don't know which order to put them in! And trust me, if you think they sound crap, they're the best of a bad bunch.

I honestly have no idea why they need the forms in now-I'm doing my work experience in October which is seven months away! The form asks whether you're travelling by car and I have no idea because I don't know where the placement will be!

I've spent five hours over the last few days on this Circle Theorems project for Maths that we've only actually only spent two lessons learning in class and she expects us to do it to A* standard. I've put so much time into it that I never want to see it again, I don't care about my grade! Also, they've put my in for the Maths Unit 1 resit before I find out my grade for it, and it's two days before the Unit 2 exam which is twice as difficult! I said I'd be perfectly happy with a B but they won't rest until I get an A! I don't need Maths in the future so I as long as I pass I'm happy! I tried my best in that exam and I can't do any better no matter how much I revise.

It's Alton Towers on Friday and then we're going to Bridlington so I won't post until Wednesday but at least I can get away from school and relax!

Sorry for my very long rant, it's over now:)

March 21st (I can't think of a good title so the date shall suffice)

Wow sorry guys, been so busy again! We went to English revision earlier for the poetry exam on the 24th May, but we spent most of the time eating doughnuts and biscuits! We're going to see the Hunger Games on Friday night and it's non-uniform day-I'm prepared for the sea of Jack Wills body warmers and hoodies! I'm super excited for the film though, it'll be interesting to see how they've chosen to portray it:)

I'm also quite worried about the Chemistry exam-on the exam timetable we were given today, it said the exam lasted one hour forty-five minutes, but as we've learnt Chemistry from scratch in five months, I don't think I know nearly enough about it to fill all that time! The Geography exam is easy-peasy though:-)

Also supposed to be doing a project on circle theorems but I don't know what they are and I don't have paper and I'm rubbish at drawing with a compass and my angles never measure what they're supposed to and I just hate Maths okay but there's an exam on the 13th.

My compass is looks really cool though and I'm listening to good music and I shall be fine. In theory.

A very long blog post

Sorry again...I've been unexpectedly busy and completely worn out all this week! Tuesday night was review and I had homework for Science to do in one night after they sprung an exam on us, Wednesday night was Parents Evening (less awkward than I thought) and I've had part two of my Science exam today, plus other homework which can wait for now because I've been neglecting my blog!

I forgot to mention in my last post that we found out the results of our Physics and Biology exams that we sat in January and that I was so worried about failing...I got a C and a B! I was pretty close to a B in the Physics and I probably won't have to retake it so I'm a happy bunny! Just the Chemistry exam in June and a couple more tests then I will have one of my Science GCSEs! (Being very optimistic here,it will take a lot of hard work and stress!)

I've just found out that the English poetry exam has been moved forward to the 24th May, then I have Chemistry, short-course R.E and Geography to take in June;anticipating lots of stress! Enough of me wittering on about exams though-let's move on to more exciting stuff!

Last night my mum booked a holiday flat in Bridlington for 3 nights, and it's the day after we go to Alton Towers, so I'll be very tired but it's good to have a change of scenery I suppose! I love looking at the sea, just not going in it...

Next Friday is non-uniform day for Sport Relief and Emily, Ella, Sasha and I are going to see The Hunger Games; we read the books and they were absolutely brilliant so we have high hopes for the film! The trailer looks good but I hope it lives up to all the hype:) I'm also *running* a mile for Sport Relief; it is a very worthy cause but as I can't even walk up the stairs without getting out of breath there isn't much hope of me achieving the challenge!

Mother's Day should be good as my mum is cooking a dinner for my sister, my grandma, possibly my auntie and moi (for those of you who think I should be cooking the dinner, not in a million years) and I put the tea, coffee and sugar pot things in the kitchen to see how they looked; thankfully they looked fine, I just hope my mum agrees!

I'm looking forward to the Easter holidays a lot, only one week and four days to go then I'm free! Excluding a three-hour Geography revision session,that is...

Shopping!

Hello! Firstly I'd like to say a quick thank you to everyone who read my post yesterday, there was rather a lot of you!

The shopping trip today was good, although I'm disappointed in Boots as the 2 for £13 offer wasn't on and they didn't have the Soap and Glory face scrub I wanted! However, on the positive side, I was able to buy the pair of shorts I've been searching for in Topshop! They're a good investment as you can wear them in Winter with tights and in Summer:) Although I hibernate inside in Summer as it's too warm for me sometimes! I also bought the final Mother's Day present on behalf of my sister, it's a bracelet from Accessorize which was kindly wrapped up in tissue paper for me, luckily I have a tiny bit of wrapping paper left!

This guy in the shopping centre was walking away from Sainsbury's carrying a 16-pack of beer, then we hear this almighty bang and there's beer all over the floor! Most of it survived but he looked very embarrassed/annoyed...it was funny to everyone else though!

I'm currently making my very snazzy review presentation to show my form tutor, just trying to re-word it as I've only really made progress in two subjects:/

Back to school tomorrow, I don't know why but I just have this really good feeling about tomorrow...probably because we finish after fourth lesson!

Shopping weekend!

Hello lovelies! Things appear to have calmed down on the homework and exam front, so I'll be posting more over the next few weeks:)

I've just finished wrapping the Mother's Day presents which I bought last week, although I still have one to buy on behalf of my sister and I'm a few tag things short. I must say that we buy the most awkwardly-shaped presents! My sister bought a box of truffles that I can't even describe the shape of and I bought a wine glass (I'll admit it's not the best wrapping on that one).

I was very stressed this morning as I had to buy so many things like cards and gift bags! I actually got cash out of the cash machine for the first time as well...yay me! The second part of the shopping extravaganza continues tomorrow with the girls- we're taking advantage of the 3 for 2 offer at Boots! We've been planning what we're going to get on the website in I.T all week, I just hope they have everything we want or there'll be trouble!

It's weekends like these that feel as though they'll never end, I hate it when I have to wake up at 7.30 on Monday morning. One positive of next week is that we finish school an hour early almost every day:) I'll post tomorrow after my spending spree!

Apologies!

A massive sorry to anyone who expects regular blog posts from me! After next week I promise to update more as things are so busy at the moment!

I stayed over at my dad's on Saturday and came home on Sunday night so I didn't have time to do any homework and I still haven't completed everything now... I've just finished 6 pages of History revision notes which I had to copy out again because they weren't neat enough so I think I deserve a break! Next week is Parent's Evening and Review Week, and my mum is stressed because I need £60 by next week to pay for school trips, and then another £55 to pay for the rest later! I'm on a mission to get my debit card from my grandma as my mum has stopped me using it in case I withdraw all my savings ( which I wouldn't do anyway).

Hopefully I'll go Mother's day shopping with the rest of the Triple E group on Sunday and get some new clothes for Alton Towers which is one of the trips with school. In fact, it's the best trip! We started making a plan of which rides we're going to go on and in what order today; as you can probably tell, we're super excited!!

Back to blogging!

Second attempt at posting this as my internet crashed halfway through writing and didn't save!

Sorry for not posting for ages, been super busy revising for the Maths exam that I sat today and doing other homework! Fingers crossed that I'll get a B :)

If anyone has any ideas for a Mother's Day present that isn't chocolates, cookery books, jewellery or CDs,  answers on the back of a postcard please! Or just comment...

Can't actually think of anything to post at the moment, so have a good Friday night everyone!
