‘Just one more go’ is a phrase I’ve heard a lot from my parents recently. I’m having trouble getting near my Nintendo Wii, and I find it rather worrying that my parents, never before interested in computer games, have now switched to nagging me to buy more controllers and games. I think I’ve become their parents. My dad actually said the other day, ‘Put some petrol in the knitted cow’, in reference to game, which was the weirdest sentence I’ve heard in a while. Anyway…
Exams, exams. I’ve had 1 (of 3) so far and it didn’t go too badly, but I remembered something important I should’ve included the next day *sigh* I’m currently revising for my modern literature exam, which is 4:30pm on Thursday (!), then I have a Language exam at 9am on Friday (!) and I’m done.Â
So after that I will abosutely definitely 100 million per cent be updating. Lots. I am going to manage my time really, really well and get into a routine, hopefully. No, I WILL do it!
My friend Sarah from college stayed with me Wednesday/Thursday, and I had such a good time. I won’t go into details, except that we had chicken and strange times, the weirdest being talking to the Nottingham mafia and a film writer (so K3wL!!1)
The weekend before, Richard and Tabi came over and cooked for me (and it was delicious!), and Hwan Min came over too, which was fun. Then the next day (was it?) me and him went to his house and made shepherd’s pie (correction..he made shepherd’s pie!) and that also tasted really good, surprisingly so as I’m not big on meat. We also went shopping, along with Kieran (2 cars and 3 people, not a good idea environmentally speaking)..
So we drove to Nottingham yesterday, and my family were supposed to leave me there but then persuaded me to come back with them. The journey back was horrific – it was snowing/sleeting/raining, and there were lots of accidents so there was lots of waiting around. There was one bizarre point where we were sitting in the car in the Derbyshire countryside in the snow, eating random things my mum had taken from my fridge. I had a raw mushroom with cheese and spring onion. Anyway, we were forced to go back and take a different route via Sheffield and Leeds, meaning that a 65 mile journey actually took 150 miles. Very very tiring and time-consuming, and a little bit scary as the roads were so dangerous. Once we got on the motorway though, my dad insisted on doing about 90 miles an hour (when the speed limit is 70, and the actual limit from those roads was 50 because of the bad weather). There were signs telling him to slow down because of spray, gritting, an accident, etc. etc. and he still took no notice. Althoug to be fair he was pretty exhuasted by that time and the motorways (yes, plural) we went on were really quiet.
*waves* Hi, I'm 
Heh, I know what you mean. My cousins brought the Wii and their parents love it (they’ve not touched consoles before). I didn’t use to like playing game consoles at all but since the first play of the Wii I love it, and I’m even considering getting myself one (obviously *ahem* to share with my brother and sister *sighs*).
Busy as usual huh? Hope the rest of your exams go well.
It’s good to hear you had a good time with your college friend Sarah. Ah, what a nigthmare of driving conditions but at least you didn’t have motorway(s) traffic to add to your exhaustion.
LOL about the Wii.
Glad your first exam didn’t go too badly! Good luck with the rest!
Anyways, sorry to hear about the weather and everything! I hear that Europe’s being hit with really bad weather recently…
The weather has been horrible lately, here as well :S
The meals you got sound delicious, makes me want to eat something although I just had dinner xD
I don’t like Wii or any of those other gaming systems. I’ll stick to computer games, they’re cheaper too. I’m doing exams and it sucks. I still have to do two maths and I know I’m going to fail them both.
You have a Wii? Awesome! I can totally understand how frustrating that would be though if my parents were hanging around one all day too! I’m hoping to pick one up this week with some money I earned through webdesigning
I can’t wait to buy Warioware: Smooth Moves.
“raw mushroom with cheese and spring onion” – ewwwwwwwww! How did you eat that? :O
I know how scarey it is being on a motorway in those driving conditions! I was actually in my boyfriend’s mum’s car at night once and this snowstorm came. At one point the car infront of us swurved off the road! Scarey.
Haha that is so funny about the wii
I want it sooo bad, but it’s like sold out everywhere! Tell me how it is once you play it!
Good luck with yours exams!!
Lokking forward to the updates!
XP I wish my parents would finally accept video games =P
Exams do stink. I came back from India and got slammed with them without even studying ^^;;
It sounds like nasty weather coming back from Nottingham… O.o… I’m glad you got back safely =)
I’ve heard some weird sentances in my time but that has got to be the weirdest ever lol.
Good luck with the exams
Umm shepards pie
I know what you mean with the wii, everyone wants to play it, I have wario ware and it made utterly no sense when I overheard my brother say “No you have to Hula the doughnut” and even less sense when he made the actions for it. Ugh, but it is fun.
Everyone seems to want the Wii so badly.. I wish I could bet one but my parents think it would effect my “studies”. I find it funny that your parents actually like the console, heh, I wish.
Exams are a pain. It makes life harder than it is. I know, I finished 3.. good luck with em all
Petrol. Knitted cow. Hmmmm.
Hey Jenni, sounds like you’ve been doing great! I’ve missed everyone at the old LSS, but for now I’m just lurking around everyone’s blogs, hehe.
Your website is as nice as always
