Good day. Got up at 11am. Had business this afternoon, me and my friend just sat talking. Had a laugh with our teacher. Teacher also said there is a business trip to New York that we could go on for £400 for five days. We probably wouldn't be able to go because we leave in May.
Physics tomorrow, we're handing radioactive substances :D
You will do glowingly :lol:
:lol:
Radioactive substances...really? I never knew you could do that in schools :p
We can only do it because we're in year 13. They're in a lead container which has become radioactive due to the substances being in there 20 years. The science lab have a big cupboard with a skull and crossbones on it because there is a lot of radioactive things in there.
I don't know if we have to wear protective clothing or anything like that.
Wowwww that sounds cool!
We did microscopy in Biology today... I looked at testis cells hehe..and cells from my cheek!... One of them looked like Stewie Griffin! Haha :)
Aww NY... my friends have jsut go back from there on a school trip
I am now the proud owner of a yellow I Love NY cup :D
Haha.
Good day.
Got my NY Cup and we were all sat in the Sixth Form Block singing to Busted and Avril Lavigne... how cool are we? Lol
Just got home from dancing... I'm so tired. I worked really hard tonight and actually listened... which isn't like me :D
Yayy watching Skins now with a well earnt cup of tea :)
We were supposed to look at testis cells. It was in the syllabus for the last unit but we never did it.
How did you get to look at your own cells? We aren't allowed because of the risk of contamination. We can't even take a swab from inside out cheek.
I am sure you do, on telly they always wear all in one suits from head to foot and gas masks :D You have to cover your bits when you have an x-ray taken as well, it is dangerous stuff and I am sure you will be well protected.Quote:

Haha I don't actually know why we were allowed... the cotton buds were fresh out of the box and they weren't touched by anyone but us.
Ah well it didn't bother me :)
It was quite fun lol.
In science weve done where you take a swab from your cheeck and tongue, and left it to see if anything grew lol, it was wuite good
This week has just been a joke. I'm having to pay out £3.40 for a bus every school day because I can't go in the taxi because I keep getting tearful over my Gran and having to sit around until what seems like Christmas to get home after dropping little kids off and waiting for them to get out of a primary school. Driver said he'd report me if I didn't change and I can't, I just feel like I want to rip his head off because he knew my Gran had died and said he didn't know why I was upset :angry: :angry:
Thursday and Friday we had an absolutely horrid driver who would have had points on his licence for the way he was driving if the police were there. Quite a few people were nearly falling off of their seats; I had to stand up with a file in my hand and it hurt so much and I fell into someone's seat and fell onto the floor at one point :angry:
Get home after that on Friday to find my best friend has gone into hospital. Begged Dad for 2 days to take me to the hospital to see her just once and he wouldn't do it :angry: I would have paid the ridiculous bus fares because I would have seen her, but the busses don't go that way :angry: :angry: One of her other friends is 18 and she can drive but she couldn't be bothered to go and see her which winds me up; my friend hates that hospital because her grandad was diagnosed with terminal cancer in there and the only visitors she got were her mum and step dad and she hates her stepdad.
Tomorrow I have to go to the doctors, because my mum thinks I might have depression. I woke up with a sore throat and headache this morning and I feel like I have a temperature. My balance is really bad when I'm ill and I have to walk all the way there and all the way back because my mum doesn't have the money for the bus :angry: I didn't even have the energy to get out of bed this morning.
Dad fell out with his sister over my Gran's estate, so now I don't have a chance of ever seeing my Great Aunt again because he won't drive me to see her because he hates her. He keeps telling me I need to get out more but I can't. I have no money to shell out for bus fares to see the friends I do have (most of them I'd have to get 2 busses to reach anyway) he doesn't seem to understand "I don't have any friends on this estate."
On the upside I did get one of the DVD's I ordered come today, so I have been watching that.
I am sorry you are having so many problems right now. Is there a way you can complain about the driver? He is responsible for the SAFE transport of passengers, falling onto people's laps or on the floor is downright negligent on his part. If nobody complaints, the drivers will not change their behaviour and this might cause a real bad accident one day. I guess there is not much you can do about the buses you have to take to get to your friends/hospital/great aunt and the fact you have not got the money. Is there any chance of you earning some money by doing a part time job or babysitting or dog walking on your estate? You might make friends that way.
I hope you are going to feel better soon. :)
My teacher forgot to order the radiation equipment for today's lesson so we didn't get to radiate ourselves :( Its all perfectly safe as long as we don't point the radioactive lead at ourselves.
Mum isn't very well. She went to the doctors yesterday and fainted whilst she was there. Her right side has gone funny and she can't do much. I was talking to my teacher about it and when I said bye I felt like crying. I've been feeling really emotional recently.
Oh well, such is life.
Did the doctor say what she might be suffering from? I assume she is getting treatment? There is nothing wrong with you being tearful, it is perfectly normal to react that way. I hope your mum is feeling better real soon.Quote:

She has been having iron infusions but her consultant has now refused to give her them. She saw a haematologist who said that she shouldn't have them so now the general surgery consultant has stopped them but not done anything else. They're treating the sympotoms not the cause.
I feel ill myself. My throat is really sore and I'm knackered. I only had three hours sleep last night.
I had a rather good day today. College was a laugh as usual. My mates and I are all so crazy :lol:.
On the way home the police pulled over our college bus.. all because a boy chucked a bottle out of it while the bus was stationary :lol:. The boy has a fine now I think :lol: Oh dear. That will teach him not to litter!
Then had work, which was rather good for a change :D.
And my mate just sent me a random text saying "Lannnnnnnnn, love youuuuu :)"... so that was nice :lol: I love random texts like that :p.
I remember coming back from a wedding on a mini bus last summer. All the men on the bus were drunk and my two brothers in law took their pints on the bus. Speeding down the motorway at 2am they both decided to throw their glasses out of the window. Next day on the local news there had been a bad accident at the same place where they lobbed their glasses.
Its been really cold here today. Thick fog until 3pm. There is still ice/snow frozen on trees and bushes from last night. At the moment its -3C.
Oh dear :eek:.
This was thrown onto some grass though :|. It was just before pulling out of college.. and there's always masses of traffic backed up.. so the bus was stopped.. by a path and a grass hill.. and he chucked it on the grass.. unbeknown to him there was a police man parked on the hill (road bit) :p.
Yeah it's been really cold here too. Don't know the temp. But I'm usually a really hot person naturally.. even in the freezing cold!
Stopped for litter? :lol: :p I've never seen that happen :p
Yesterday I went shopping for food because the fridge was empty, the shopping bags were so heavy :p There was no point getting a bus because the retail park is only across the road. The top of my shoulders ache today :p
Tommorow I'm going to see a car :D that mini I mentioned ages ago..it's quite cheap and it's done low milege..so..hopefully :p I'm also going to the pet shop to get some toys to stop the cat from stratching up the carpet.
im working like crazy its a stupid essay that is driving me mental and i am catching up on my notes. Uni is going much better now though there are such great people here. Just need to do the secnd thing on my list and find a place to live for next year proving harder than i htought.
I need to go shopping as after i finish of this pasta i have one tin of soup. I am extremly low on casj to, Oh the joys of being a student.
I have a car! :cheer: woo :p well it still has to be serviced/MOT'd (going to get spare keys cut at the same time), taxed and insured so it'll be 2-3 weeks before I can drive it but still yey :D It's the 20 year old white mini :D I always said I'd never get a white car but it's a cute little thing :p
Had another driving lesson today, learnt reverse parking, not to bad, my day hasn't really been that evenful apart from buying the car, joys of being on half term :p
My friends coming round for a Casualty marathon tommorow :p (She hasn't seen the last 3 episodes) In the morning I'll go out and get some snacks, should be fun :D
I went to the doctors today. Got a blood form and she's ticked TFT (thyroid function) with carbamezapine :confused: I'm not taking carba and really don't want to. Its what they give to manic depressives. She looked at my notes and said I haven't had some bloods done for a while so she wants some done.
I also seem to have shrunk by an inch to 5"5 :eek: I feel so small now.
Haven't done anything else with my day. Had to go to tesco to do some shopping. Mum is walking with a limp because of her leg. I'm so tired I can't even move. I'm going to have some tea then go for a shower if I can find the energy. So much for lucozade being an energy booster. Its done nothing.
Speaking of blood, how old do you have to be to be a blood donar and how can I sign up and stuff?
I had quite a good day, feeling really good about my drama, the exam is on the 15th April. Im also feeling really good about my biology coursework which Is heading in the right diretion :D I then went to the gym, that always makes me feel good about myself :p
I'm not sure but this website has all the info on it http://www.blood.co.uk/
When I'm older I'm considering joining the bone marrow donor register but I'm still unsure..
Well done on your work I should check what work I have to do havn't even looked :p
You have to be 17 and a healthy weight. You can only give blood three times a year. There are loads of other requirements to fill before you can donate.
You can go to the national blood bank website to sign up.
So I cant sign up now, even thought im 16? Cos I was wondering whether I could sign up just for future reference and information.
No, you will have to wait until you are 17. You can sign up at anytime to donate your organs as long as you are over 14 (I think).
:eek: Hang on, I have to wait till im 17 to sign up to donate blood, yet for oragns its 14!
Yup. No idea why. I've been on the organ register for several years but I can't donate blood because I take medication.
I think the only conditions that disqualify you from donating organs are HIV and Hepatitis.
Thats crazy with the age thing
I had a good day, had my stitches removed from my thumb and won the SB Emmerdale and Coronation Street quiz, what more can a gal want? :lol:
Hehe awww well done :)
My day's been good
Things are getting suspicous in school though!
Some of Year 13 are driving now and, on the weekend, 5 Year 13's cars got egged and floured.
Then on Tuesday a girls car got keyed
And 3 more cars have been damged today.
Hmmmm.
Dancing later :)
My legs are still killing me from Monday :(
Never mind :D
Blimey! Hope that doesn't ever happen to my car :p Brought it home today. It has no left wing mirror, the horn doesn't work, the windscreen wipers are slow and the suspension is terrible :lol: and apparently the steering is heavy. :p But it's a lovely little thing :p And it's going for a service next week so it'll all be fixed up :D
I have to clean it tommorow, but it's not that dirty so not much work to do :p
It is a car, which means no more waiting at bus stops in the wind and rain, pleading with mum/dad/sister/brother to get a lift etc. Litlle Miss Independant now, that is what you are. Do you have a name for the little darling?Quote:

OK-ish day. We had to answer a 40 mark question in business this morning as a group. There are five of us and we just don't interact with each other apart from me and my friend. Was very tricky and nobody took control. Our teacher had to step in and tell us to regroup after we did our seperate bits and present it to him. I think he was testing us to see if we could work as a group and communicate properly because he keeps saying there isn't much he can do as far as his teaching goes because we don't speak to each other.
Biology was good for a change. We did a practical and as usuall I didn't have a clue what I was doing :lol: I just copied everybody else. I had to try really hard to supress my joy when the teacher told us he probably wouldn't be there next week :D
Day was alright.
This morning was mega boring though. The lecturer we have, she's really nice, but a reallyyyyy boring teacher! So that was rubbish. Nearly fell asleep
This afternoon was a laugh though. Went to McDonalds and got some dog masks. So we were walking around college with them on :lol: Was really funny . Some of the looks/laughs we got :lol:. Some of the lecturers stopped to tell us how odd we are :s. They're just jealous :p.
There was a karaoke in college today for BHF. And you had to volunteer people to sing. We were watching it upstairs from the balcony, and 2 of my mates went down and said that they had put my mate Kelly's name forward. So we were all laughing.. only when she called the name out.. it wasn't Kelly... it was MINE! I was so embarrased :lol: There were some people I know around. And she was like "Leanne come on down then".. as soon as she called my name out I just walked off in fits. I refused to do it though :p I was only going to do it if my other mate did it with me, but she wouldn't :p.
Not yet :p I need to drive it first..then it will get a name but first it needs to be insured :rolleyes: It's ridiculous comprehensive insurance costs three times more than the car :lol: It's a bone rattler like yours Abigail :p But yeah no more waiting in the cold :p Well...until I pass my test :p I havn't booked it yet, sometime in April probablyQuote:

I wouldn't go for fully comp, you don't really need it at your age. I've got third party, fire and theft and pay around £40 per month for my dad as the main driver, my sister as a named driver and me as a provisional. Well, my dad does anyway :lol:
The cheap part is buying the car. Wait until its due for tax and MOT and you have to buy fuel and pay for repairs and parts.
My Dad's going to sort the insurance I'm not sure what he's getting yet :p Don't remind me about the cost :lol: But I don't think it's a particularly thirsty car :p
Sunday was my daughters 10th birthday so i took her and 7 of her friends to play zone came back home my 2 sisters and brother came round had a chinese for tea watched tv for a bit then played on the nintendo wii...
Monday went to my sister's house just chilled at home
Tuesday looked after my nephew for the day
wednesday painted my hallway
Today been in to town with my nana and then back to her house for a bit .
so not really done much :)
My day just got weird :p.
One of my uncles rang to say that my other uncle is in hospital. He's having an operation. Not sure what for though. Hope he's okay.
His son (the one that's in hospital), my cousin has been arrested for drugs or something. And cause he has a record of it before and other things he may go to jail. Which is weird 'cause I can't imagine it!
I hope my uncle is okay.. with my auntie and his son with a possible jail time... it would not be my aunties best time if something were to happen to him. One of their daughters, my cousin died of cancer a few years back. So they haven't got the best of luck :(.
On an up note. Was just on the phone to a mate for an hour :D that was good. She's ringing me tomorrow. So seems like it will be a regular thing :D. Think it might make us closer, I told her loads of secret stuff on the phone.
