This week has been full of revison. Like, uber amounts of revision. I did 8 hours on Tuesday, 5 hours on Wednesday and was allowed out after to see Drag Me To Hell and Fighting with Ethan, 8 hours yesterday and 8 today. I am officially knackered…
I’ve finally started my GCSE exams. I just want to get them over and done with because after them I get a really long holiday. I can’t wait!
I have just finished my art exam work. I completed two sketchbooks, two sculptures and a canvas painting. The sketchbook work consisted of an artist study, some paintings, some drawings, a collection of pictures I drew in Photoshop and other such pieces. That’s hopefully enough to get me a B grade, which is only worth 40% of my final mark. The other 60% is coursework. I also have sixteen other exams to study for. Oh dear…
I know I haven’t been blogging as regularly as I should, so to make up for it I’m writing more than I usually do.
I’ve actually been quite busy recently with jobs, Christmas and New Years. I’ve decided to jump into the world of work early to get an idea of what it’s like. Not bad…
I designed a website for a singer songwriter called Heather. She has a blog about women like herself and wished that she could have a better website. I thought this was a great opportunity to try out my web design skills, so I gave it a shot.
Heather is now the proud owner of LyricalVenus.com. She wanted it turquoisey so that’s how I made it. I personally preferred it a heavy dark green, but I’m £165 richer than I was a week ago so I shouldn’t complain.
Additionally, if anyone would like a cheap, hosted Wordpress blog I would be happy to design it for you. I charge £200, but out of that I pay for the hosting of your new website. A fresh set of graphics created with your input comes standard. If necessary, blogs and comments can be transferred from your old blog to the new.
I’m naturally a messy person, it’s who I am. But there is a limit to the amount of mess I will happily endorse and contribute to.
The aftermath of my sixteenth birthday party was horrifying. Like, it wasn’t hugely messy (by my standards anyway) but the mess wasn’t clothes and cd’s.
It was soggy crisps, wads of cake and moist patches in the carpet. That’s just unhygienic. And gross…
The party was from about 8:30 PM until 3:00 AM. It was a mostly awesome party, but there were a few annoying things about it.
Two weeks ago I went on a German exchange trip. It was the third time I’d been on this trip because it’s really fun. This was the first half of the trip, so the Germans came over here for a week, staying at my house on the last night. In October (I think) We go to Frankfurt am Main. There are multiple Frankfurts, with different rivers going through them (the river Main being one of them).
The three Germans assigned to be my partners were Martin, Micah and Samantha. Martin was 18, Micah and Sam were 17 and they were really cool. Normally I got assigned 12 year-olds, but I was the oldest ‘English’ person on the trip apart from the teachers, so I became a helper. I just had to do head counts and make sure people didn’t mess around. That’s what my partners were doing on the trip, so I was assigned them.
I’m a 17 year old male New Zealander with headphones. I was vegetarian for a long time until I stopped. I live in Birmingham, UK. My girlfriend’s name is Hannah and I have two dead goldfish, Fluffy and Spotty. They’re all awesome.
