How Was Your Day VI

[Tannie]

I've got to do a textual analysis on a poem before 23.55 or i'll be marked as absent for last tuesdays class althrough it wasn't on to begin with. Dreading it through i hate textual analysis.

I liked doing them, although we never did poems =S

I think it's a textual analysis, well it looks like it.

Arghhhh. Last week I missed 4 days of school because my dad had to have a kidney transplant and my mum was in hospital too because she was the donor. I had to stay with my aunt and uncle so couldn't get to school. My teachers said they'd email me work, didn't bother with one exception, then dumped it all on me when I got back today. For Business I was told to do the Human Resource Plan while I was away which I did, but today I find out that the Production Plan is actually due in before the HR plan. The teacher then said that anyone wanting help with the work should stay after school on Tuesday and Thursday. I want to stay as I feel that I'm behind after missing all of that teacher's lessons last week and don't really know what I'm meant to be doing. There wouldn't be a bus when I really really need one would there My parents can't pick me up with the state they're in; my mum's worse because the surgeons managed to collapse her lung during the procedure. I hate seeing her like that and I don't know how I'm ever going to catch up with the work; I felt that I was behind with the work before I missed a week because it's so much harder this year. Still got my uni application to sort out too, I gave a draft of my personal statement to my tutor but it's sooo bad.

Kim, I wish your Mum and Dad the quickest recovery possible
...Do your school know why you've been off? Is there a teacher you could speak to about the situation with your workload and your Mum and Dad, and also transport. I'm sure if you spoke to someone and explained your situation and worries they would be more than heppy to listen maybe you could get together with some of your friends at one of your houses for a study sesh I love them, simply because we always helped each other on the parts we didn't understand and I got quite alot done... it was also much more relaxed and saves struggling on your own, it would be beneficial to spend some time in general with your friends too maybe talking to them about your worries would help?

My parents arranged an appointment to see the deputy head of 6th form before they went in and he said that he'd sort it all out with my teachers... doesn't seem to have worked lol. Today the absence sheet came through from last week and I thought I heard my tutor say, "Kim... that's unauthorised." I was just like what, lol. Luckily it was put down as authorised. With the exception of one friend doing Psychology, my friends don't do my subjects so that's made it more difficult. I did try to ask about Psychology today but she didn't tell me much. I'd feel rude arranging a study session so we had more time to discuss stuff and then expecting her to find her own way home.

Hope you get your schooling sorted and that your parents recover quickly.

I woke up with a very sore throat so have to see the doctor and get myself back to bed. Have not felt like this for ages.

someone made their avatar all christmassy and I got to far ahead of myself.. I love Christmas!!!

[StarsOfCCTV]

I have my christmas avatar on hehe.

I can hear the lyrics from music two floors up! We went down to reception about an hour and a half ago but the flat obviously turned it down, then turned it back up because its back at the same volume!

On the upside I have finished three out of four courseworks. Eastenders omnibus & holby will fill up the rest of my evening!

Moazzam Begg came to the university today to give a talk. He was detained in Guantanamo Bay for two years without charge. His story was quite shocking, especially when he said his six year old daughter saw him kneeling on the ground with a gun to his head, hooded and shackled before being led away from their home by his interogators. When he returned to his family after three years of detention, he didn't recognise his children, they didn't recognise him and he didn't know how to play with them.

I honestly don't know how he survived two years in solitary confinement in a cell 6 feet by 8. It beggars belief that the place was even allowed to exist, before you even consider the detention without charge, torture, water boarding and everything else that goes on in that place.

Anyway, pondering over. Got half a bottle of wine that needs finishing.

My dad came home today. He has no immune system though and I'm worried I'm going to catch things at school and it will make him worse.

The school computers will be down after school tomorrow so the coursework session has now been moved to the lunch break. Lucky for me because I can actually go to it now

My tutor didn't find much wrong with my personal statement. I was really shocked, it was the first time I'd showed it to anyone. I might have to try and add a few things but hopefully it won't take me too much longer.
