A huge load has been lifted...

...from my overstressed mind.

I have basically finished my moneybox. Staying after school til 5 for the past two days have really payed off. I am not that proud of it, there are loads of things I have done wrong. But at least that means that I actually have a lot to write about in my evaluation. Maybe I'll post a picture of it on here when I take pictures of it, for my eval.

I don't have to wait tomorrow. So I get to go home at 12, or 1. I am so glad.

One of my lotus seeds has a green shoot coming out (by about 3mm) but hey, that's a start!
Also, my labo has begun growing "hair" It was quite suprising as yesterday I noticed the hair growing very slightly and today there is so much more. I wish I could take some pictures. I seriously think that we need to urgently buy a digital camera. What are we, living in the dark ages? Everyone has a digital camera.
Why is it that we have 3 laptops and not a digital camera?

I think I may insist that I need to purchase one for my P.D pictures, that would be good.

I'm finally listening to my James Blunt album, I have only listened to it once, and I didn't have time to listen to all of them then.

Tomorrow is the end of term. I am so happy. No more school for two weeks. No waking up at ungodly hours (slight exaggeration)

I will DEFINITELY revise every day in the Easter holidays.

P.D situation slightly rectified...

I have to hand my project in on the first day when we come back from Easter holidays, which is better, but still not brilliant, seeing as I can't even do my orthographic and isommetric.
I will have to do my orthographic drawing tomorrow, in fact. Probably at lunchtime..grrr.

My lotus seeds are growing, there is a white bit poking out, but I am a bit worried because of the cold weather. If we had a greenhouse it would be so much better.

I feel really drained and don't know why. Actually, maybe it's because I came home at 5 today, I was doing Product Design after school.

I really need to do some work now, its already 7:24. Where does the evening go?

In the pits of hell re.P.D

I am screwed. There is no other way to describe how I am.

Product Design is in for Thursday. I have a lesson on Wednesday, and Ms. S is in France on that day, for god's sake. WHAT SHALL I DO? She dismantled my mechanism and THEN wrote me a note last Wednesday saying she hasn't had a chance to look at it, and will look on Thursday, the inset day. Now she has buggered off to the stupid France trip. I have no idea what to do about the mechanism, shall I just glue it together into the crap state it was before?

She hasn't even spoken to me about it, and it's in for bloody Thursday. What shall I do? I am so dead, someone might as well start digging my grave.

Joy..

and happiness and all things great.

Next week I don't have Mr.Chu.
I have found some string for my lion.
I have done a lot of my product design paperwork.
I have started revising.
My lotus seeds have started bulging.
Its the end of term on Friday.

That is a lot of things to be happy about. Now all I need to do is apply for a summer job. And start writing in my Siamese notebook. And continue revising.

sorry about last post

A picture of me and my friends on my 16th birthday (21st March 2006)
I was really annoyed because I did write a long post about my birthday and my wonderful presents from everyone, and then the computer was being weird, and the whole entry got lost.

Anyway, this post will be a bit about my birthday...I got really nice presents from my friends, and from family on Thursday- the inset day. I really liked the compilation CD one of my friends gave me, with some of my favourite songs, and the money I got from my friends contributed to my new James Blunt album!

There's me with my friends and my surprise birthday cake with 16 candles- and the middle one was a relighting one which confused me a bit!It was quite embarrassing because the whole class was singing happy birthday to me and I don't really like being in the spotlight, but I was really happy, and grateful to my friends. I'm the one on the far right of the photo, by the way.

We nicked the lotus seeds today! And right now (at 9:20) I think a seedling is growing already! Just hoping that the other two will come through.

I will start writing in my beautiful Siamese cat notebook that Polly got me soon. It is so nice I don't want to ruin it! But I'm going to write some of my stories in it, if they're good.

I really love Runaway Train by Soul Asylum.

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here no there

Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

stupid computers

I wrote a really long entry and then when I tried to publish the post the computer went crazy on me. Now I'm really annoyed.

Anyway, basically I was saying that I really love the labo and hope it will grow.

I really want the lotus to grow too, this is what it will look like, if it grows properly. I think it will be really big. I can't wait for it to grow, it will look so beautiful.

obsessive reading

..I think I am becoming a bit too obsessed with reading. I always read, regardless of whether I have work to do or if I have a headache. I don't quite know why I have huge reading frenzies.

Today I tidied my desk and EVERYTHING for about 2 hours. Its really therapeutic, tidying up. (Almost as therapeutic as sanding rough or sharp edges of wood down- I don't know if its just me but its really satisfying when you finally make it smooth)
Anyway after that I read The Solution- Animorphs book, then reminisced about the last book (It may have been because I was quite young when I read it, but I felt really sad, especially for Jake) Whilst I was thinking about it, I fell asleep. Why am I always tired? Might be a lack of iron- I don't know. Carrying on with my stimulating day, I woke up and started reading The French Lieutenants Woman which is suprisingly good so far, although my opinion of Sarah has changed, I think she has a weird complex.

Anyway I vaguely feel like I need to do some work. The teachers keep giving us loads of work, its really dumb- I thought the work load was meant to be lessening as the exams draw closer, not increasing..

Its my birthday on Tuesday. I don't know why, but this year I really feel like I completely dont care about it. But I still want regalos, por supuesto!
