Things that have happened in my life recently

2 Comments »

1) I’ve finished school for another year and seemed to have avoided receiving any homework for the summer. Well sort of. I’m guessing the school’s going to force me into doing what’s called and EPQ, which is basically a 5000 word essay on something (unless I fail all my exams, which I’m hoping I won’t). But I really don’t want to do it, it seems like a lot of effort for not a lot of reward. I’m not doing it. I feel like a rebel.
2) The “c” button on my laptop is broken. You have to press it really hard to get a “c”. It’s annoying.
3) FREE STUFF FROM UNIVERSITIES

Imperial has the best stuff by far. If I were to choose a university based on the free stuff they gave me, Imperial would definitely win. They gave me a Frisbee!
4) But on a serious note I’m completely in love with Cambridge. I didn’t think about applying there until my careers adviser suggested it last year because, you know, it’s Cambridge. Only super geniuses go there like Stephen Fry. I’m kinda expecting to not get in because all the statistics are against me. Before I would have been okay with that, but now I’ve visited the place I’ll be really quite sad about it. Also the food served at the university is really cheap there. I wouldn’t have to cook or anything; that’ll be perfect for me.
5)Also loved the University of Southampton. The Physics department seems really friendly and they had ducks! Not specifically the Physics department, I think the ducks were a general university feature.
6) I think I an officially known as the one who really likes Doctor Who. People I have never met in my life know me as the one who really likes Doctor Who. I’m uncertain how I feel about this
7) So, yeah, Summer. I got a new computer chair. It’s gonna be a good one.

I have AS exams starting on Tuesday. These will be the exams that universities will look at and judge me on. I haven’t made a big deal of this on my blog but it’s freaking me out a bit. And when I say “a bit” I mean quite a lot. Mainly because of the horror that is my exam timetable.

Tuesday 17th: History Paper 1, 1hr 20min
Wednesday 18th: Mechanics, 1hr 30min, Core 1 Maths, 1hr 30mins
Thursday 19th: History Paper 2, 1hr 20mins
Friday 20th: Statistics, 1hr 30mins, Decision Maths, 1hr 30mins.

SIX BLOODY EXAMS IN FOUR DAYS. SIX. IN FOUR DAYS. SIX.

Then I have two exams the week after. Then a week an a half later I have one more, then two weeks after that I have my last one. So they just drag on for ever and ever as well. How can that happen? You either have really squished together exams or spread out exams. NOT BOTH.

SIX EXAMS.
