Well as far as exams go, life sucks ass. I’ve only had one so far. Maths stats. It wasn’t too mean. Now, you would think that would be a good thing that it wasn’t so bad. But no. I *wanted* it to be hard. I needed a hard exam. Crazy eh? No, well, it’s just I have 2 biology and 2 maths exams Monday and 2 physics exams Tuesday. Which means not a lot of time for revising relative to the amount of time I will be spending in the exams rooms. 5 hours on Monday and 3 on Tuesday. 1 weekend (minus work time and going out for my grandad’s birthday time and general eating sleeping dossing time) to revise for them all. Fuck. *fuck*  oh and the reason I wanted a hard exam was…if they make one maths paper easy (well…it’s AS maths…easy as you could possibly call an AS maths paper) then the will make the other 2 difficult right? Right. Well, I don’t need 2 hard papers on Monday. I will have done even less revision for them because of time spent revising physics and biology (which my grades count more for) and I will have already been in the exam room for 3 hours. Grrrrrreat.

Oh well.

What else has been going on? I drove me and Josh to school this morning for 9. He did his exam. I went to a biology lesson. We both skived last lesson and came back to mine by about 11.30. woop. hah. I cooked us some lunch and we started watching TV. Found this really bad TV quiz channel (after watching Supermarket Sweep "£75 Dale!" and Catchphrase "It’s good but it’s not the one" and "WHEEL….OF…FORTUUUUUNE!") where they show a puzzle on the screen and people have to ring up with  their answers and you can win money. We got so addicted. We watched it for at least 2 hours. We had a sheet of paper figuring out what all the possible answers could be and every time someone rang with one of the answers we crossed it off our lists. We even had a dictionary helping us to see whether guesses we could make with the letters were real words.

For Example

trad
n : traditional jazz as revived in the 1950s

Yes. Yes. We never found out what the answer was…or whether we had the answer on our list. The game had been going before we started watching and we watched for about 2 hours then walked the dog for 45 minutes…I kept flicking back until about 2 hours after I got back from the dog walk and it was still going. Seriously you would think that people who were going to enter would watch the show. We must’ve heard people guess "mate" and "paté" and "yule" about 20 times each. Oh now I’m thinking about it again I wanna know what the answer was. I wonder if the channel has a website…Ok, I’mnow officially destined to become a lady who lives on her own, collects cats and frightens the neighbourhood children.
