Dancing was actually really good tonight too :) But it's the calm before the storm what with the show coming up in like.. 3 weeks :eek:
Tomorrow should be good :) Only have 1 lesson and then partyyyy i the night for a friends 18th :D Woop Woooppp! :cheer:
today i had a seminar which was ok. then had to go into town and get my mum and grandad their bday cards, didnt manage to get a pressie though. then on the bus on the way home i found £2 so that was the highlight of my day lol! :D then just been at home catching up on more tv lol and thinking about doing some work!
i wouldnt worry too much about that tbh. some people might have 3 alevels and 1 AS but the majority of people wont have 4 or more alevels, some people dont even do 3 alevels. as long as you get the points you need from the alevels you do for the course that you want it doesnt matter how many alevels you took, it wont be a disadvantage just cos you only did 3, actually most unis prefer it if you dont do too many alevels. if youre struggling, its much better to drop a subject and concentrate on getting 3 good alevels than to carry on with 4 and not do very wellQuote:

no worries Tori, glad your enjoying it though! I am just very busy i forgot how hard uni was! My cousins at Aston and my family live in Sutton Coldfield which is the town near it, i know the area well, very close to Birmingham which is a great city.
:eek: That's taking it too far. This boy would never say that to people in the same year as him, it was just the novelty of us not being in uniform while the others are, I think. Me and my friend were about to go to tutor early when we noticed that this boy was too busy playing table football in the common room.Quote:

There's nothing else in the blocks that I would have to choose from that I want to do. There's not much point picking up something I only like the sound of 1 out of the 4 units of. I think I'll stay where I am until we really start on the poetry as that was always my best part of it. The teacher said she'd be shocked if we liked all of the stuff we did in it. I don't know if I'm struggling as such as it's only a few comments in margins but it might just seem like it to me because I'm used to getting 'excellent' and everything in the rest of my subjects. One boy's had to redo the whole of his essay. As there's nothing else I want to pick up from the blocks then I might as well keep up with it then if I still feel the same after we've done some more work then drop it and do the three or the three and an AS in something I can't get now next year. I spoke to my mum about it and she thinks it's a bit quick to be deciding as we haven't done much with one of the teachers at all.
Weeeeheeeeeeeeeeeee todays been funnnnnnnnn :D
Only had 1 lesson then went to town with ym friend!
Then went to an old friends 18th tonight and had a realllllly good time :D
x
I've just been into town, my housemates are either in bed or gone surfing and i don't even want to know who the people are on the living room floor, i fell over three of them trying to get to the door!
I am now working and watching Friends! what a great comnination.
I got a photoshoot thing with my friend and her daughter today :thumbsup:
yesterday i was pretty busy cos i had to meet up with someone to discuss our side of a debate which we have to do on monday and find out statistics and info to back up our arguments. then i had to pack my stuff cos ive gone home for the weekend cos its my mums bday on monday. had cheerleading as well yesterday evening and now i really ache! im not enjoying it much this year atm which is a shame cos i dont like the new coach and im bored cos im not learning anything new or even allowed to do any harder stunts that i do know how to do. and they keep putting as in groups where everyone is the same sort of height which is stupid so yesterday i had to be a base while flying this guy who was a lot taller and heavier than me. then i had to fly and the freshers nearly dropped me as they didnt know what they were doing! im hoping that next week we will actually start to learn something again as the taster sessions will have finished
today i went into town this morning to try and sort out my bank card and also bought a bday pressie for my mum
hope you feel better soonQuote:

Then work, then cello which I haven done since before the summer and then dancing and since the show a month ago Ive only been once and missed it today. Ive just been so stressed maybe I need to take something to help me,I dunno
The highlight of the week was seeing Cabaret :D I never knew what it was about so it was a shock, but sometimes its better when you dont know what its really about
awwww sorry to hear that abbie. i dont know if you do this already, but if you try and do your work as soon as you get it and do at least some work everyday rather than leaving it all to do at once, its actually easier then. i carried on with 4 alevels and just kept leaving my work til the last min and it was a rush to get it all done, for the first 2yrs of uni i was leaving all my work til the last min too and i ended up not doing most of it. this year ive been trying to do all the work when i get it and doing at least some a day and so far it seems to be working, ive managed to do all the work thats been set and it hasnt seemed that rushed even though ive had loads of it to do. also try and make the time to go dancing (i know its difficult when you have loads of work you need to do) as having a break from the work wont make you as stressed, i make sure i go to netball and cheerleading evey week even if i have loads of work and it really helpsQuote:

I get what you mean about dancing but sometimes when Im there all I can think about it going home to do work or somthing, Ive already cut down to twice a week instead of three, but I might just to one now, cos it kinda clams me down when im not there, its odd
Plus we are doing exams now and not shows, which is gonna stress me out and I hate it. I just cant win!
Went to an 18th last night and had an amazing time :D
My finger is killing me now though!
My friend failed to see my finger as I was getting out of the car and slammed the car leaver which moves the seat back down on my finger and I have a gauge there lol. I hid her one shoe out of her bag though in the car and she thought she lost it at the place the party was at so we're even :D:lol:
Todays been up and down. Constantly being nagged by my Mum and Dad mainly to get a job...
I can see where they're coming from because I'm going to want a car and everything soon and I'm 17... but it's not as if I'm not trying! I've had 2 interviews and failed in both. Applied for no end of jobs and don't even get an interview, and dancing is dragging me down too. I see no point in asking for a job right now when I'm going to need like 2 weeks off in 2 weeks for the show. So I told them I'd be straight back on it when the show is over. Basically my ultimatum was dancing or work. :(
Then driving sucked! I hadnt had a lesson in a week because my instructor was on holiday. But he said I rush things way too much and I can see his patience is wearing thin wiht me now. I'm starting to really dislike driving! I'm starting to really dislike everything!
On the plus side, I did take my sister to town :) It's nice to have a little bit of responsibility with her on my own and to take her out of the way so my Mum can get stuff done in the house.
6am is way to early to get up to go to a field. An special field with two ponds and a porta cabin. There was a power substation right beside it. You could just hear this constant bzzzzzz :lol: I should've gone to bed earlier but it was sleep or party...I wasn't going to go but I'm glad I did. I didn't know half the people there though. :lol:
I have the house to myself as the rest of the house have gone to an orienteering event. It is a great opportunity to catch up on my work. My legs are killing as well as i went on a 5 K run last night, as you do! stupid idea now looking back on it.
wow, how was your run? Are you training for something?Quote:

watching Early doors on DVD now whilst working. Taking forever.
I really need to join the gym again, maybe I'll do it this week :hmm:
i really need to start going to the gym, ive not been once since ive been at uni!Quote:

also, i still really hurt from cheerleading on friday and its not the normal ache i get when i havent done it in a while. im definitely not basing for a very tall, heavy guy ever again!
I went to my friends 18th last night - was good fun and was dancing for most of the night! i got chatting to this guy and he ended up taking his shirt off... i was like wow :o :D ... then i got home, was half drunk so turned on the TV and watched the x factor replay on itv2. :)
Yesterday me and my friend arranged for us to go to Barry, but then decided maybe we would leave it until half term when we could all go or something but he said he would let me know if we all ended up going anyways.
So I waited... and waited... and waited. I would ahve rung him but had no credit. So I just left it to the fact that we were going to wait until half term and that was that.
Then inb the night I text around my friends asking if they were out.. my best friend text me saying that 3 of the boys were over hers and if they went out she would text me, I was speaking to my other friend on line and he said he was supposed to be being picked up by the one boy (the one who arranged Barry with me) ina bit. So I text my friend back saying well that won't work because the car will be full and explained I'd jsut spoke to this other friend. And she said oh yeah forgot about him, sorry.. but I don't think we're even going to go out anyways. I wa sliek ok... but even so I didn't get an invite to my own best friends house, along with the other girls which annoyed me because she complains she never see's us anymore.
Thw worst part was that I found out they'd actually gone to Barry!.. and somehow forgot me! So I was annoyed because I was the one who came up with the idea... and I get forgotton! :searchme: :(
Today, jsut had dancing rehearsals... our teacher was surprisingly chilled and it went surprisingly ok...
Now tonight the friend that forgot me yesterday has invited me out... jsut because no-one else can I suppose. Don't know if I can be bothered anyways.
I really need to go :DQuote:
