Eden moans about exams. Again.

Hello my lovely readers, hope you're enjoying the sunshine! Or the peace if you're vampire-skinned like me and everyone else is outside while you're sat inside alone! I've been in hibernation because of exams but I'll be posting more updates for a while until the next set.

I've got my R.E and English Lit exams over (possibly-more on that later) so now I only have Maths, Chemistry and Geography to do in June. Then it's camp and mock interviews and all that jazz then I'm freeeee for the summer:)

So the R.E exam was on Wednesday morning and I actually revised (I know, how good am I?) and I wasn't feeling too nervous about it. The exam itself was pretty easy and I think I only messed up one question so hopefully I'll get a B or above.

Today was the English exam and I wasn't nervous for that really either as I had studied three poems in detail, one of which was definitely going to come up in the exam. Or so we were told. What actually came up was a choice of two questions: Compare a crappy poem we had spent one lesson on to another or compare a poem we had never studied at all to another. So yeah we were buggered.

Everyone started talking and complaining and the Year 11s had to be taken out because they hadn't studied any of the poems at all which really distracted the rest of us. The only poem that I thought of links to was one of the three I had initially studied but it was the one I liked the least so I couldn't analyse it as much, but I tried my best. The school say they'll appeal to the board but I don't know what will happen- it's probably the teacher's fault for not making us study every poem but it's also the exam board's fault for basically lying it would be one of three poems. Apparently lots of angry parents have rung in to complain but my mum still doesn't understand why we don't have one exam at the end of year 11 so she's a hopeless case...

I personally think we should all get our predicted grades or at least a chance to retake it as some point as we were distracted so much and given the wrong information. It's still stress that I don't really need though.

I'm going to give myself a break from revision for a couple of days but then I need to start Chemistry and Maths revision...le cry.

Oh yeah I bought my dad some pencils that are also drumsticks because I am at a complete loss as to what else to get him!

I'm going to hibernate now...

This will probably be the last blog post for a while as I'm going into exam hibernation! I have my English poetry and R.E exams next week so Saturday is now called 'Sit At The Table and Do Not Move Until You Know Everything About Ethics and The Five Poems' day.

Also I've been motivated to do more Maths revision than ever because I got 17 out of 60 in the mock paper. It was so bad I found it hilarious at the time but now I've realised it should be the kick up the arse I need, although Ella and I did ask if we could move into the class below us next year as we're finding it hard to cope already! My mum sounded really disappointed when I told her I couldn't cope in the top set but it's for my own good if I move down (which I hope I'm allowed to).

Yesterday I was wondering if all the creativeness has been somehow zapped out me- I know it sounds stupid, but the other day I wrote an essay about the extraction of iron from the Earth's crust (interesting, I know) but I just wrote a load of utter crap without thinking about it, whereas usually I take everything seriously and plan it out before I even start writing. Other people have probably being doing this for years without batting an eyelid, but I've always considered myself to be a capable writer and I sort of shocked myself. Seriously though, we've hardly done any creative writing at school in years and I just don't have the time anymore.

I've never been the type who could invent a whole other world with ten different kingdoms and realms of complex characters, but I'll start small; a hamlet maybe?

I'll let y'all know how everything goes at some point:)

Liverpool!

Hello to my lovely readers! Firstly I need to say thank you for all the pageviews and to everyone who reads my posts; you are amazing and I really appreciate your interest! Virtual cake for all of you:)

Today I went to Liverpool with my mum and the little sister, I really enjoyed it! The city reminds me of Manchester but with much more culture, I loved the Albert Docks area especially. The shops were also great, I needed to save my money but I bought half of Emily's birthday present plus the second Fleet Foxes album, Helplessness Blues. I haven't listened to it yet but I love their first album so I'm sure I'll like it!

Unfortunately I can't post any photos because I only took my crappy BlackBerry but the weather was lovely and I took photos of the docks and the River Mersey. I think I might be a bit sunburnt actually!

I'm tired now from all the walking around so I'm relaxing on the sofa watching The Voice and mum is making a pizza. Tomorrow I'm going to Leeds with my Dad to see Dark Shadows and do some more shopping! Next weekend I'm going shopping again with Emily, Ella and Sasha- I'm a true shopaholic! I am looking for a Father's Day present though, so I have an excuse...

And yay, I've just realised Lord of the Rings is on! Tonight's viewing is sorted. I've haven't watched them in ages, I once watched all three films straight after each other when I was about ten. Happy days...

Anyway, must dash, I can smell pizza from the kitchen!

10th May (I almost wrote March then. Are you sure its not March?)

Hello! Do I dare go on Tumblr after the mass hysteria the other night...? Everything appears to be fine and dandy, bit slow though. I suppose if they were going to hack into an account, it wouldn't be mine!

I came across the admission policy for the sixth form I want to go to last night and I actually stand a better chance of getting a place than I thought! It's very selective and I don't really want to go anywhere else, except from a college that I could get into in my dream world where I look like Karen Gillan and get straight A* in everything.  So yeah, looks like the first one. Apparently at the interview you have to display a talent, which I unfortunately lack. Seriously though, I think my main talent is History, but how do I display that? I don't really think the interviewers would like to read my 5000 word essay on China and Human Rights.

Today was comprised of a string of awkward moments and I have lots of homework to do- cry cry cry. It all needs to be done today or tomorrow because we're going to Liverpool for the day and then on Sunday I'm going to see Dark Shadows with my dad! I love Tim Burton films, usually because they star Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter! Sweeney Todd is the best, I don't understand why its rated an 18 though...maybe the CGI blood freaks some people out? Or maybe the slitting of people's throats? Wimps.

Right, I need to stop procrastinating and get some work done!

(You know I'll still be sat here in three hours time.)

Happy Bank Holiday!

So it's Bank Holiday Monday and as per usual it's raining! I didn't get out of bed until half past ten and I only had one piece of homework to do though so I'm a happy bunny:)

We got back from Bridlington yesterday instead of today as my grandma was moaning about it being freezing at night (which it was, but still) and my mum was tired of walking around. I was a bit annoyed as I wanted to stay for another night but I wanted to get home as well. Also, we had a near-death experience on the way home when my mum decided to overtake a lorry on a country road-you know the moment when you're mid-way through overtaking and you see a car coming straight in front of you and you miss crashing into it by a couple of seconds? Well yeah that happened.

I'm looking at tattoos on Tumblr now, even though I'm too young to have one! My dad is covered in tattoos and my mum has two (but she hates them) so I suppose it's natural that I want one when I'm older, even though I know it hurts like hell and I'm a wuss! I currently want a quill with ink-splodges coming out of it to symbolise my love of English and History, and the fact that I'm always covered in ink when I come home from school!

Ella texted me last night to say that the TMB tickets have arrived! I think I'll be more excited when all the exams and Geography camp are over and I can relax! I honestly can't think of anything worse than spending four days in a field with a group of chavs. On Friday they were all talking about when they got stoned and they keep saying 'werp' in a really strange voice. I've started saving up for an iPhone again. £375 to go! (Until next week when I spend it all)

Busy busy busy...

Helloooo guys, sorry for the lack of updates, this week has been another crazy one! I think I'll just have to accept that every week will probably be like this from now on. We're going to Bridlington again tomorrow as it's a long weekend, but the bad news is that I have to wake up at six tomorrow and it's going to be freezing! Oh and my grandma is coming. Such fun.

I'll get my stuff packed soon, I'm taking my scarf and gloves! My scarf is one of those with pockets at the end but I can't reach the pockets...it's a nice scarf though and it was only a fiver in the sale so I can't complain!

I'm not retaking the Maths exam after all, I'm just focusing on getting an A in the next one, although it's hard when I get so much homework!

I guess it's kinda good that I'm so busy, before I was just bored all the time but now I have lots of things to do and I suppose I feel better for it. Oh yeah, we're going to Liverpool for the day next weekend! I am truly am a busy bee! I've actually never been before even though it isn't that far so it should be good:)
