I'm sorry, but I did. I didn't think I was lying, but it turns out that I was.
I guess the odds of me updating this blog regularly are not so great, simply because usually when I have something interesting to say, I say it to the next person I encounter (providing I know them of course, some of my interesting thoughts should not be shared with random strangers) and get it out of my system.
On the occasions when this doesn't work, I can rarely be bothered to go online, log in, and write it all down.
Should I manage to get online, with the intention of writing it all down, I tend to get distracted by checking my email, then my other email, then facebook, then bash.org, then "ohhh, look what the featured wikipedia article is" then random browsing because by that point I've forgotton why I turned on my laptop. I struggle to complete online assignments for the same reasons.
If procrastination was an olympic sport, I wouldn't even show up.

Holiday
I've been on holiday in Mallorca with my family. It was alright, but two weeks is a long time to spend with people you're related to.
I got stung by a jellyfish, I think it was dying, as I stood on it and the sting only hurt for a while. I've been stung by them before, and it always used to hurt a lot and leave a mark. Either way, that was the most interesting thing that happened in the entire two weeks. It happened on the second day.
I wish I were a jellyfish.

Free laptop?
I just don't get it.
I swatted the fly.
I hit all the targets.
I found all the eggs.
I caught the baseball.
I shot the politician.
I headbutted the footballers.
I still don't have my free laptop.
Wonder who believes those things work?

January Plans
Firstly Happy New Year, hope you all had a great time, I know I did and I should be able to get some photos up soon.
Now, January is going to be a pretty crazy month. There's two extremes in it, the very negative exams and the very positive birthday trip to London to see Children of Bodom, which I won't stop going on about, so don't ask me to.
Exams-wise I've got maths, physics, chemistry and psychology. So, one for each subject. And yes, they are real exams, each counts for one third (give or take a couple of percent) or my AS grade in that subject. I go back to school tomorrow, and I've got until the 11th before my first exam, no study leave this time, which is probably a good thing considering how little I've managed to do over the Christmas Holidays.
It's quite worrying, since for the first time that I can remember I stand quite a good chance of failing. People don't believe this, my old friends mostly because they've never known it to be true, and my newer friends a combination of that, the fact that they don't realise how much I've been struggling, and I suspect they also think that I worry too much and overreact about things like this. However, what they believe makes no difference, I'm terrified that I'm going to fail and that I'll have to retake.
For those who aren't aware, universities now have acess to our actual marks in all our exams, and details on retakes. This won't be a big deal for most people, but if you want a place in a competive university or on a competitive course, it could have an effect. So I'll be wanting 100% in every exam if that isn't too much trouble God. If you're too busy or not listening or can't do anything, I'm quite happy to ask Satan instead.
Ok, so enough doom and gloom. My last exam (maths) is on the 16th, and just eight days later is my birthday. No idea what I'll get as there's nothing I really want, so hopefully I'll get money. I'll need it for the trip to London to see Children of Bodom two days later. That will be truely awesome. I'm going with Nick, Jenny and Jonny, and Jenny and Jonny are finally going out (I've been trying to get them together for a while, somehow they got together on New Years Eve, ironically just as I'd decided to give up them). There's also two spare tickets which I'm trying to sell, if I don't manage to sell them this week I'll put them on ebay and if that fails I'll try to sell them on the door.
Either way, it'll be awesome and leaving will probably not be an option that I'll consider once I get there.
Hurrah!
