The return of school

Hey Everyone

How are you all?

School been on for the last few days, sorry I couldn't blog, I had tons of work that just had to be done. Here, let me show you a list of the stuff I had to do just to prove it:

• 25 mini exams (over 400 questions), tutor work (this was bloody insane!, and there is still 75 more mini exams to go!, I'll keep you posted)
• mining poster (I do not want to hear another word about open-pit mining ever again!)
• history major practice exam, (this was 3 pages of bullshit*mostly bullshit on Alexander the Great, I'll probably get an A+)
• Ag fact sheet: One page of stuff on embryo transfer and oestrous synchronisation in cows
• History Migrants assignment: this stuff was pretty easy, but the info was tough to get.

Anyway that was my whinge on homework and why I couldn't blog. Now let me describe to you a few interesting stuff that happened in the last few days.

On the last weekend of the holidays my brother this really cool computer game called Empire: Total War (Yay! my first link), I'm totally hooked on it and I've been playing it on and off for the past few days, I really like it because it actually makes me think really hard on what to do and the graphics are cool. My brother installed it on his laptop but I'm playing it because of all the stuff cough*uni assignments I've helped him on.

On Thursday I went to sleep real early for me, about nine thirty, so early that I didn't set my alarm or pack my things (I just shut my eyes and fell asleep on my bed, I know that's tough to believe). Anyway, since I didn't set my alarm I woke up about five minutes before (7:35) my dad was due to go to work (I travel with him to the station). One big rush later I was on the 7:51 train, I still don't know how that happened.

Also on Thursday I read Victor's blog, a lot posts (did I mention I like reading?*weak joke) later my opinion of Victor changed, albeit slightly since I already knew some of it. He seemed so sad in his posts at times and I almost felt sorry for him (I don't like pitying other people because they wouldn't want it and I myself would feel worse if I knew someone pitied me). Anyway I felt really sad and guilty because I had pretty much saw through him for the time I've been around him, his a bit like Kevin, always in the background and a bit anti-social, when I read his blog he was so pessimistic about life because of his experiences so I decided to be more friendly to him from now on. Now I'm going to read his blog and ab's blog daily because not only was it interesting but also emotive.

Here look at these funny pictures I found:

Random Rant:

Great, I forgot what I was going to say

This is because it took ages to get those pics in the right place

Oh yeah! now I remember!

I always do really bad at English, its my worst subject because it can be really difficult to practice for, my average is around 60%. I do really bad at the essays, every single essay has been a disaster, but the fact that aggravates me is that while I do 60% at English essays, I get 95% and over on the History essays! It really pisses me off! On an History essay last year I got A++ from Miss Metua and a comment saying my essay was one the best in the year! At the same time this is happening, Mrs Keegan gave me a 11 out of 20 for an English essay! This happens all the time! I do fantastic in History (which is why its my major), and jack shit (excuse the language, I'm really annoyed) in English, which is supposed to be the cousin of History. This says one of four things: that the History staff are very lenient markers, the English staff are very tough markers, that I am somehow a unimaginably better at History then I am at English or that the whole year is better at English while really bad at History. Anyway, I'm done ranting for this post.

Thanks for reading, I'll finish up for today, not sure when the next post will be so watch this space everyone!
