during the last few weeks i keep getting pins and needles a lot more than often than usual, hmm. i don't know if it's because i've been sitting and kneeling more because i've been so busy 'revising', or what. it's a mystery! also kind of annoying haha. when i was about 5 and trying to describe pins and needles but didn't know what it was called, i said it was like fizzy lemonade. i wonder what it's called in other languages.
i had my first exam earlier and it totally sucked, i didn't even finish it. the exam was 3 hrs long but it definitely wasn't enough time to write everything, oh well. i have 2 tomorrow but hopefully they won't be as bad as that one otherwise i will probably fail the year! haha usually i am optimistic but desperate times call for desperate measures, or something. (i know that doesn't make any sense but exams do strange things to the brain).
i just bought a fountain pen to use in my exams, cos that's what i used for gcses, and for a-levels i didn't really have much writing to do so i think i just used biros. for my economics exam i'll have to write quite a lot though so that's why i bought this one. i forgot how fun fountain pens were!! they are much easier to write with than biros cos they totally flow you know? it is my new favourite pen.
here is a fountain because a picture of a pen would be pretty boring (no offence to any pen enthusiasts). apparently it's called the fountain of wealth, super cool.
i revised for about 7 hours earlier, that is aaages! it was only writing notes, but it's probably the most revision i have ever done in one day. i better pass this year because if i fail then i might as well have bummed around instead of using up so many hours of my day studying.
ok so it isn't really the end of an era, it's more like the end of fun for a while because of exams, but today i had my last group meeting for my dragster project, it was kind of sad because the project lasted 12 weeks and that's the longest group project i've ever done before you know? and tomorrow i have my last tutorial of the 1st year, which just reminds me that i'm kind of nearly a 2nd year, nooooo! oh dear and that just reminded me that i'll be 20 in a few months, agh i'll be so old! what's the world coming to?
on the bright side:
let me do the funky chicken what's that you say? i said, let me do the funky chicken what's that you say? i said a ooh ah ah ah ooh ah ah ah ooh ah ah ah ooh one more time i said a ooh ah ah ah ooh ah ah ah ooh ah ah ah ooh
i know writing lyrics on blogs is pants but you have to admit that was mighty cool.
isn't it interesting how nicknames begin. when maz visited me at warwick a few weeks ago we remembered all the names we used to have at school. her first name is actually mariana so we called her maziana or mazkaban. rahma was called rahmalade or pepperami, and because of the tv show panorama we also called her panny for about a year. kim was kimmy hef and bhathuvi was spelt B2V because it's easier to write. grishma was squish, and chloe was chlochlopops. there are probably more that i've forgotten. B2V is apparently going to name her daughter kimothy after kim.
the funniest ones though were invented by maz and miriam, they changed our first names into our best subjects, although when they couldn't think of a subject to suit someone they just had a random word instead. i was cisco collins, and here are the rest:
maths don bosco (maz) dance curtis (karina) history black (miriam) science kerbey (sarah) gobi ganeshalingam (B2V) lamda stevenson (lynz) graphics vadgama (grishma) reasoning adam (rahma) german heffernon (kim) geography steiner (rachel)
maz also had a song about hers, the lyrics were:
maths maths maths maths that's my name, that's my name why are you saying my name?
i am sure no-one else cares about this but i am going to look back at it in a few years and laugh.
also, lisa tgrsswwatb stands for lisa the great red scottish squirrel who wears a tartan beret.
you may be wondering why i haven't updated in a while. (and when i say you, i actually mean me, because i think i'm the only person that reads this blog, hohoho). well the reason is that i have been just so busy revising, and maybe also because i've been going out as well, last night i played more drinking games and had about 10 different drinks oh dear, but hey at least i had some variety! i mean who wants to drink the same thing all night right? i had cheeky vimto which is a bit misleading, because it doesn't actually have any vimto in! what a scam eh. it had port though which is cool because i hadn't tried it before, and i also had sake and southern comfort for the first time. i am soo totally experimental!
yes so anyway, also they had a pig soft toy and they had put it on a metal skewer thing, which i thought was very mean. poor pig, it didn't stand a chance.
it is the 1 month anniversary of my blog. this calls for celebration! i wonder if i will last for another month.
anyway, i had such a great weekend! it was skool days on saturday and we played drinking games before we went so got v wasted which is always fun. i think there is also a video of me dancing to spice girls, woo! then on sunday we played frisbee and went to the pub quiz and i could answer 2 and a half questions that no-one else in our team could answer, how cool! i am a right genius sometimes.
on sunday night/monday morning maz and me laughed for about 5 hours. it was liberating. all the stuff which was hilarious then doesn't seem quite as funny today but it still makes me laugh a bit. ah, good times.
last night/tonight i went to top banana which was good, i managed to not drink at all which shows how much willpower i have, i am so tough.
i better go to bed now cos have to get up at 8am, seriously omegaaaaa.
