Still no luck with my essay its still a very nice blank page. I really do not care about how constructives trusts work in splitting up the family home!
I need to book a hair appointment its on my to do list. Yesterday i sat in the council offices waiting for someone to try and sort out my student loan, that was an experience! and tonight i am visiting my friend which i am really looking forward to, not seen her sonce i went to uni in september.
My biology teacher let us have the lesson and then until 5 to hand in our coursework so I had another couple of hours to improve it which was good. I went to the library to print it off in colour, and I managed a few pages and then it said I had 'insufficient funds' :confused: How can I have used £9 worth of credit in a week? I think someone must of looked on my card and used my account to print about a billion pages. The password is your date of birth but they put that on the card as well as your Id number. So basically anyone can hack into anyones account. Grr annoying. So yeah I couldn't print it off so I've emailed it to her I hope I got the right one.
On the upside I got 7/10 for my physics draft and I've got a week to improve so I'll have time to do that.
I had a biology test today, Im so sick of tests in was hard but it a shorter test than before, that or Im getting quicker. Hopefully I will pass, Ive already got two D's. I dunno why but every does awful in these tests one class with really clever people in who get B's and A's, in the test I just did today got E's and D's. WHat hope have I got?
Not done much today. Didn't go to bed until 5.30am this morning, we decided to annoy the people downstairs because they keep complaining that we bang all the time, which we don't. They came up and invited us down for some drinks. A bit later on I was in the kitchen with two of my flatmates and one of them started telling us about 'anonymous sex night' and how far she's gone with one of our flatmates. She had sex with someone but she doesn't know when it happened, where it happened or who it was with. She thinks it could be the same flatmate she's done 'everything but' with, but isn't sure.
Me and her had a really good chat about me and Jamie and she made me realise that I'm not spending enough time with the rest of the flat because I'm always with him. She thinks he's dragging me down and to some extent I do agree. I just can't say no to him.
Anyway, probably going out tonight, just wait for said flatmate to come back from the library to see what time we're going. Jamie said I can go with him but I'm trying to not spend so much time with him at the moment.
5.30 am :eek: How can you stay awake this long? Mind you, suppose you don't get up until 3 pm :lol:
We were drinking all night long. I got up at 12.30pm when the fire alarm went off. Missed my 10am, a lot of people did apparantly.
Do you not get into trouble when you miss lectures?
Printing allowances :rolleyes: I thought I was the only one. How much do they charge per sheet? It's 5p a sheet at my school. They keep changing the allowance though. It was £2.50 a term which I could easily go over in Business alone! Everyone's debating it on the school forum and this one boy was like, "I printed something double sided to save paper and was still charged for 2 sheets. As an A Level Maths student, I can clearly count that this uses 1 sheet of paper." :lol:Quote:

So you could actually leave the computer logged on by accident and someone could come along and use up your whole printing allowance. I was actually worried about that yesterday, I accidentally left a computer logged on in Economics. My teacher let me print something off on hers because they don't have limits and I forgot to log off of the computer I was on afterwards. Thankfully no one had used my allowance though.
Today I nearly had coffee spilt on me. I was going into the 6th form centre and my Business/Economics teacher was coming out of it as she'd used the coffee machine in the kitchen. We didn't really see each other so the coffee nearly went over me. I have a lesson with her tomorrow so I might recommend that she complains that she doesn't have a kettle in her room. :lol: My tutor has a kettle and hot chocolate in hers! Tutor was ill yesterday so this boy stole hula hoops out of her cupboard lol.
Homework... eurgh. Enough said lol.
What's a printing allowance??
We don't have one of them in school, we go to the Library and then they charge us 2p a sheet...when it's actually open that is :rolleyes: .
Most of the time I use 2 of the teachers computer suites in the business department, they're kind like that :) lol
I actually told my teacher how much I'm struggling with English Lit today so she told me to ahve a go at the essay and she'll mark what I could do of it and we'll go form there so I feel slightly better about that :)
Been trying to do UCAS stuff aswell, I've only got one course on there so far in Newport. I cannot decide on Universities at all! And no-one will come to open days with me :( So I give up on that tonight!
Then I had a driving lesson and my instructor said I'm not far off my test now :D:D
Then went to see my Mum and all and on Friday my Mum said her and my Dad are taking me and my brother bowling :D Woohoooo!
Now I feel like getting a cup of tea and chocolate biscuits and having an early night :)
Well in my school the printing allowance is where they give you a virtual printing balance, and all your print jobs are debited from that at 5p a sheet. If you go over it you have to pay. Which I think is very unfair if you haven't been wasting the allowance; they can see exactly what we've printed and the teacher who set the limit said that printing needs vary from course to course. Applied Business = loads!
We have printing balance. It's only 1p per sheet, but each term they only give you 150 sheets! It's rubbish. Then you have to pay £3.00 for only 150 sheets, if you want top-up!!!! It's so stupid. I just send most of my work via email to my lecturers :p. They can print it out then muhaha.
150!! Yes please! We had 45, it's gone up by about 10 sheets now I think. They say that 6th form get a bigger allocation; I dread to think how much lower school have. I wonder how much of it I'll have left when I've finished the unit in Business and done a 4 week Psychology project...none. I'll be well over the balance and begging for an extension of the balance lol.
OMG they make you pay double when you go over! I like the way they say, "We're not asking you to restrict your work in any way." I would email the work but I can't exactly do that with my coursework as I have to sign it into my folder. I wouldn't try it with 1 Psychology teacher but I think I will have to with the rest of my teachers.
Been to sheffield today for a campus tour, it was good :D
then when we finally got back :lol: I ended up babysitting, not a bad day since I got a lie in, it was sooooo nice :p
cool
we have to pay 5p a sheet and when you do law, i print off so much! i swear all my money goes on printer credits and photocopying!
I have 1202 words! i am impressed. We may finish this today
How many words do you have to have Katy?
We have to design a load of documents by tomorrow for Business. That will take up like half my printer credit when I have to print them out! I have to do an application form and they're usually quite long; mine's going to cost like 70p or something to print because we can't just go and put it all on size 8 font. Business teacher is trying to get the printer in the Business room taken off of the allowance, thank heavens for that. They'll have to lock the room if they do which I'm not bothered about as it should stop my coursework going walkabouts like it did last year lol
We have to miss 2 lessons tomorrow. They had to go and cancel my free and Psychology for which I don't have tons of work to do didn't they :rolleyes: Our timetable for Psychology sucks. We have each teacher for a week before we have the other one, while the other groups alternate between the two. We missed most of the lessons with the other teacher because of the way the half term fell on the last timetable cycle and tomorrow we miss another of her lessons. So now I have loads to do for Business and Economics by tomorrow. :thumbsdow
I've lost my phone :angry: I had it yesterday morning at the bus stop checking the time to take Marley to school, the bus was late so I stopped a taxi so she wouldn't be late, then I got the bus back to work. Once I got to work I put my hand in my coat pocket and discovered it was gone. I phoned the taxi company to see if it was handed in but it hadn't. I phone the lost property at the bus company but it was closed as its only opened for 3 hours in the morning. I tried this morning but they haven't got it and I should try again tomorrow. The flaming thing is still ringing as I keep ringing it hoping that someone answers it. That's 2 phones withing two weeks have gone.
thats rubbish when you lose your phone. I hate being without mine, its like a confort blanket or someting.
I have 2000 words now, so 500 to go till reached the limit, although reading itback its pretty rubbish so it needs a lot doing to it.
Been pretty hectic here tonight, my mam had some sort of nightmare where she woke up screaming. It was really horrible
I'm back home for the weekend :D It's strange being back here, I don't know where things are. It's good to be back. My bed looks so inviting, I'm going to sleep well tonight :D:D
That is an awful thing to happen, hope you get it back. It is sooo annoying because of so much other information we tend to keep on our mobiles. My OH lost a brand new phone at an airport, never got handed in. :(Quote:

tuesday i had a lecture then had to meet up with my group to decide on a comedy clip we were gonna discuss in our seminar. then went cheerleading which was good though everyone seemed to be getting injured!
wednesday i didnt really do anything apart from give a form in to our estate agent then bought my sis bday pressie
yesterday i was on campus all day and it seemed like forever! had my seminar in the morning which wasnt too bad then had to go to this talk in the afternoon and although it was quite interesting it had absolutely no relevance to my module so i dunno why it was compulsory for us to go. then in the evening the bt technical people finally called me, almost 3 weeks after id first complained about our internet/phone! finally managed to get the phone working again and they said theyre going to send us a new hub so hopefully after that itll all be fixed!
today im gonna try and start my other essay and maybe tidy my room
thats what happened in my biology alevel class, most of us were getting Us in the tests they kept giving us, even the people who were really really clever!Quote:

Still no sign of my phone. I haved phoned the bus company and the police lost property but it's not been handed in but it's still ringing when I phone it.
Maybe you should call up whoever your network your phone is on and cancel the number or something. sorry not really sure what it is your cancel but thats what my friend did once when they lost their phoneQuote:

Printer credits are rubbish. I accidentally sent the wrong thing to print and tried to cancel it but it wouldn't do it. So that was 3 sheets gone for nothing. Now I only have 36 sheets left to last for the rest of the term... arrrghhh. I've still got a report, agendas, minutes of meetings and an evaluation to go and that's only for Applied Business! Never mind the Psychology project and report...
It was fancy dress today as I discovered yesterday so it was too late for me to buy anything :( So many people dressed up. No one bothered to tell us that it wasn't obligatory to attend the CIN auction. I found out from my Business teacher that it wasn't when she happened to ask me if I was going to it so I had an extra free lesson as the lessons got cancelled so that the 6th formers that wanted to go to the auction could go to it. Not knowing that it wasn't obligatory I didn't take my Psychology stuff in as that was the lesson I was missing. Could've done with that; I ended up doing Business for the best part of two hours because I didn't have my Psychology on me. My English teacher wasn't in last so I had another free and couldn't be bothered to do much. My friend went home even though we're not allowed until next year! I was so annoyed. I ended up sitting in the common room by myself and then the head of 6th form walked in. He always says that we're not allowed to play table football in frees but he started playing it with the boys and said it was a, "pre fire drill game, hint hint." This was about a quarter to 3 so I was getting a bit worried about missing the bus as school finishes at 3. Fire drill went and the head of 6th started trying to get us to go down the stairs that we're not allowed to use! I just went the other way because they really don't look stable to me. My friend who went home will be in trouble on Monday for going home like that since the register was taken again when the fire drill went off.
I went into town today and saw quite a few of my old teachers. They were setting a world record with about 200 kids for the largest number of teddy bears in one place or something random like that. It was a bit weird because I had a dream about one of the last night then I saw him this afternoon. He said to go see him next time I'm up here, which will be in two weeks. Looking forward to catching up, I haven't seen him since I left in May.
Had a good day :)
Actually handed in my RE essay which is a huge weight lifted off my shoulders now, time to crack on with Welsh Bacc!
I went to town for a bit with some friend after my lessons had finished, I was going to get this top I've wanted for ages since I actually have funds this weekend but they didn't have it :( so I was slightly gutted about that but I shall go back :D
Turned down the chance to go to an 18th tongiht too and went out bowling with my Mum Dad and brother :) It was really nice... I won! :D Mwahahaa. Then we let my brother go on the arcade stuff and then went to get a chinese and went back to my Mums and watched Children in Need... love it!! :D
Haha if any fo you remember me having a go at those girls for bullying another girl and then they got their older friend to start on me as I was walking home... well ironically I turned around and that girl who started on me was stood next to me, then a few minutes later the girl they were picking on was booking a place for bowling. How weird is that? The nasty girl didn't say anythign to me though :)
I have a job interview! :D At monsoon. I was well surprised just went in to hand in my cv and she told me dates and times I could come in I thought they would ring me in a few days. I think its only a temporary christmas position but still...more money to be had over Christmas :p Ahh never been for a job interview before I shall have to prepare..
Good luck, Stars, hope you get the job :)
Good look with the interview Kasple.
Been in bed pretty much all day. Did get a bit of work done, surprisingly.
Going home tomorrow, no idea what time. One of my friends isn't too good at the moment so I may go down and see how he is when I get back.
Well done Stars. Good luck :)
Not done alot today, lazed about got bored found a hiar dye my Nan hasn't used yet and it called my name so I dyed my hair. It was supposed to be blonder but there's not much different... but it's different if you get what I mean lol. Think there's a touch of ginger in there but I really like it :)
Don't knwo what to do now though. Saturday ngiht is booooring.
Ooo :p good luck kasple, I love monsson though its way too exspensive!!
I went to lincoln today for an open day, I think I may be applying there
Im so tired, my lack of sleep and stress is really getting to me, I mean I always feel tired and think I look tired but no one ever asks me am I tired or told me I look tired till just earlier when my dad said I looked absoutly knackered! And I am
went out friday evening cos someone we know was coming back from france for the weekend. it was alright but i thought everyone was gonna be out but hardly anyone was. was a cheap night though cos all vodka drinks were 2 for 1! :D and then this guy we know gave us a lift home. he asked if he could sleep on our sofa but when he got into the house he was trying to talk his way into mine or my housemates bed! hes the biggest sleeze we know so we were just like you can sleep on the sofa or you can go home! and as soon as me and my housemate went upstairs he left lol! :rolleyes: and we genuinely thought to start with that he wanted to crash at ours instead of driving home!
yesterday i had cheerleading in the morning which was ok then i didnt really do much for the rest of the day (so much so that i cant actually remember what i did!)
today i was the only one in my house again as everyone else had gone to the american football game but i had to stay at home and do my essay :( spent most of the day wasting time by washing up and cleaning my bathroom! still not finished writing it now although i hopefully wont be too much longer!
good luck with the interview :)Quote:
