New clique
Well I’ve sort of caught up with my college work
It’s a very bad sign that it’s still only September and I’m behind already. But I needed a break over the past few days as well, and I’ve made a new site! Yay! It’s only a clique, and an elite one at that so it’s very select. If you would like to submit your site or view the clique you can do so here. By Thursday I should have completely caught up since I finish college at 12 on Wednesday and I don’t start until 1 on Thursday.
Just a reminder – if you have a web site, you can join Shining, my top sites list ![]()
If I’ve caught up properly, I’ll do lots of updating over the weekend. Thanks to all the people who are being so patient. This is more of an update than a blog really, sorry! :love:
Feeling Crappy
Ugh I feel so annoyed today. You know sometimes when you feel really pissed off because of lots of little small things? And you think you’re on top of them until another one comes up and hits you in the face? I was fine until this really annoying guy started in English Language today, and then there was a completely different thing with a different guy in Geography…but I’m not going into that because it’s too personal. My main one is work. The more I try to catch up with college work, the more I get behind. It’s unbelievable how much work I’ve got to do (for a change) :hmm: Out of the main 8 different topics I’m studying, I’m very behind on 6, and almost up to date with 1, although I’m spending a lot of free time working on them *sigh*
You can tell I have absolutely no time because I’m never on MSN any more, and I’m really behind with email. So if you’re waiting for a reply from Sunday or earlier, I’m sorry :love:
Yes, this is short because I’m really stressed out. And until I catch up, there’ll be no updates, apart from answering questions and signing guestbooks (if you sign mine), so don’t even ask, okay? Thanks lol :crazy:
Exhausted
I don’t know what’s wrong with me at the moment, but by the end of the day, I’m completely exhausted. It’s only 5:30, and I already want to go to bed. I’m not looking forward to tomorrow, when I have Latin and won’t get home till about 6 :sick: So if you’re wondering why there aren’t really any updates, that’s why. I have been updating and fixing the Jasc tutorials though. ![]()
A few people in my History class (and me) are thinking of complaining about our new teacher. His lessons so far this year have been like this:
-Poster work for presentation
-Presentation
-Research fascism and Mussolini’s ideas
-Presentation
Now call me quick to judge, but I think that something needs to change here. He hasn’t yet uttered a single word about the topic we’re studying, apart from to give us about 3 questions for the presentations. He spelt fascism wrong, and he told us the first lesson we had with him that a) he used to be an air steward b) he failed his pilot exams which is why he became a teacher c) he didn’t want to teach this course because he just wants to teach politics, but had to do it anyway as he’s teaching our old teacher’s classes.
He hasn’t actually ‘taught’ us yet; but whether that’s because he has no idea about what to say or whether he can’t be bothered pulling a few handouts together, I have no idea. Although I have to admit it’s a good thing he hasn’t opened his mouth much so far as he has a very strong Mancunian accent. If you aren’t familiar with it, basically it means he says ‘yous’ and pronounces ’summer’ ’sum-oh’ (it’s difficult to explain, try saying ’sum’ and then a lowercase ‘o’). Yes, I’m a snob, but it’s really irritating after a while – no, in fact, it’s irritating all the time. :grr: Especially in combination with, ‘I’ve got o prop-oh Mancunian accent me’. Which isn’t very professional at the best of times and is painful to someone as linguistically sensitive as I am ![]()
We’re calling the dog Pom; it wasn’t my first choice but I still think it’s pretty cute. Thanks for all the fantastic name suggestions and lovely comments :love:, maybe I should make a ‘Pet Names’ subpage??
I’d like this to be longer but I really have to go and do some work now. I have 3 essays to write on 20th century Spain for my other History teacher, some essay questions for Geography, part of my Language investigation, Latin work, and some Literature questions to do, all for this week/next week :S
