04:42 pm: A black cat just walked across my path. Should I be worried?

06:02 pm: I've just come back from having my hair cut. It's all short and thin and lovely. And I've got an appointment booked for May Ball but I don't see why I'll need it. My hair shouldn't have grown that long in 4 weeks should it? Oh well, it'll look sparkly anyway.

04:15 pm: Just when you think you understand the bus timetable you get thrown off and end up going into town to avoid waiting for an hour for a bus that you KNOW will take you where you want to be.

On a brighter note - Easter holidays. Lie ins and chocolate for all.

Edit: Stalker song. Ironic.

05:04 pm: It's finally here!!! ABB for Durham! Yes! *happy dance* I think I'll accept my offers tonight once I have spread the good news amongst my family. This and the sun have made my day :)

05:07 pm: Durham have changed the course details on my UCAS track page. I'm excited because it means I should get an offer soon. And then I can accept it and do Student Finance at the weekend. Yes!

Challenge: Following on from creative writing today I challenge anyone reading this to write a story/poem using the following words: mane, tail, flag, jug, pipe, dust-bin, nut, drum, sun.

I used these two years ago to write this:

05:06 pm: FREEDOM!!!!!
Exams are over until the summer! Rejoice one and all!
I am now going to collapse from exhaustion. And then I am going to work out what I want to do with my life.

03:24 pm: Went shopping today with Vic and Cia. It was nice talking to Vic seeing as we don't really communicate much when we're at school and I always find that conversation flows better when you're outside of the oppression of school.
On the journey home the train was really crowded and reminded me of the poem I wrote about my time on the tube. So here it is because I promised Cia I'd show her.

04:45 pm: Another one bites the dust
I got an offer from Warwick!! AAB is higher than Manchester and Birmingham but should still be achievable. Yay me :)

07:35 pm: I bring tidings of more good news! Birmingham have made me an offer!!!!
ABB like Manchester. I am so happy! I probably won't get news from the others for awhile though as they're more likely to wait until they've gotten applications from everyone before dishing out places. Still, I have something more solid to aim for now.

On another note, I demand livejournal give me back my editing tool bar! How the hell am I supposed to be able to cut things without my tool bar? Grr.

05:22 pm: Shipping Meme
Since nothing really interesting happened today and I need something to cheer me up I think I'll do this meme I found a while back. ( Pairings of love and hate )

07:04 pm: Fanfic
I don't know how it happened but I've suddenly becoming curious about the SasukexGaara pairing. I looked about but so far I've not found any good fics, which is disappointing. If anyone knows any good ones I'm open to suggestions.

Anyway, I was messing about with the one sentence generator (I love that thing!) and I decide to try and write 50 sentences for SasuGaa. Don't know if it's any good but whatever.

Fandom: Naruto
Title: 50 Sentences of SasuGaaSasu
Pairing: SasuGaaSasu
Rating: T
Warnings: Standard warnings apply I think. This is an experiment and I can't be held responsible for the results.

Emma was right, so far Wicked the novel is very different to Wicked the musical.
Hopefully once I've finish Wicked I'll move onto the next Jim Butcher novel Cia has lent me; then I'm rereading the Otori triligy and Harsh Cry of the Heron. That's my reading sorted for a few weeks. Now time to see if I can sort out my writing.

I think I'm also going to start Heaven's Net is Wide by Lian Hearn and see if I can read it without first rereading Across the Nightingale Floor. It's the prequel so I should be able to. It's just all the similar names that confuse me.

02:10 pm: Finally, Maths is over!!!!! And if I don't take it next year it means that I shall never have to feel incompetent with numbers again! Well, until I have to do tax stuff which when I become rich and famous I can pay someone else to do.
The rest of the day will now be devoted to biology. I have two past papers to do and I will finish reading my textbook and then probably go through my notes again. Might do more papers if I feel I need to. Am dreading biology slightly less than I was Maths.  Don't know whether that is the subject or the fact that I now only have two sets of exams left instead of three.  

06:35 pm: Writer's Block: The Only True Question:
That's a hard one. Seeing as I'm stuck in a Naruto rut I have to go with ninjas. Although I do love pirates. Ninrates!

Tags: ninjas, pirates, writer's block

11:59 am: Even though for the past few days it's been cloudy and looked like rain it's remained dry. Today, however, it is raining and miserable. Not a good atmosphere for revision. Although this week is going to be more past papers than actual sitting and going over notes the weather still doesn't motivate me to work. Then again it also doesn't motivate me to write which I guess is good because that takes at least an hour out of my day if I get on a roll. I can't wait until exams are over, then I can enjoy my birthday and do all the things I want to without feeling guilty. I just hope this summer isn't like the last one where most places got really badly flooded. We live on a hill so we're OK but other places...

Also have books lined up for A, B, D, F, I, L, S, V and Z. Don't know if I'll be reading them any time soon though since exam leave starts in May so I should be studying. I'll get a lot of reading done over the summer though, hopefully.
