I haven’t blogged in a while. Not since I started college actually. Since then a lot has happened – I made some good friends, drummed in what can only be described as ‘Shakespeare in Space – The Musical’, enjoyed some hardcore studying, learned how to complete the 3×3 Rubik’s Cube, went to Prague, hung out with my Aunty Kelly (who’s leaving tomorrow), played computer games, been snowed on (left), argued ethics, bought a laptop, had an exam and rearranged my room. This post is about only about two of these things, namely my exams and my conquering of the 3×3 Rubik’s Cube.

I start college tomorrow. I’m really eager to get into it, but a little nervous. Not for any specific reason, but for the last five years I’ve had the same routine every school day, and now it’s changing. You’d think that, as I hated Moseley School with a passion, I would love to leave it behind, but I think I’m going to miss it a bit. You know where you stand when most people dislike you.
I like meeting new people though. I’m really looking forward to new friends, new teachers and new lessons. I’ve chosen English Language, Art and Design, Music Technology, Modern History and Philosophy. I also chose a Musical Activities ‘Enrichment’ course, which is pretty much playing in a jazz ensemble, soul band or orchestra. There’s a choir, but I really don’t sing. Halfway through the year I’ll have the opportunity to do the AQA Baccalaureate. That’s just some extra stuff like an Extended Essay and some work experience. I’m excited about it. (more…)

Last night I went to the musical We Will Rock You. It was one of the coolest things I’ve seen for quite some time (save for Battlefield Earth and a man falling off his scooter).
The basic story was that in 300 years time all music had been commercialised and was run by giant companies. I think it was Computer Repduced Audio Partitions or something, but the main point was that in the future all music is C.R.A.P. However, there is a group of rebels that play real music, rock.

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…
