Today. Was. Crazy.

Or so it seems today was, it has completely flown by, i dunno where it's gone!

Loads of things happened. (So settle in for a long post :D)

I'm only getting on my computer properly as i type this out at quarter to midnight, i certainly was kept busy and i didn't quite plan to be actually.

The morning wasn't particularly crazy, i had to go back to Saturday morning maths, not very exciting and because of it i never got to wish my mum happy birthday before i went out the door.

As for the class itself, it was pretty ok. I sat next to the same guy i did last time but didn't talk nearly as much coz the teacher was going over some of the stuff i was really stuck on so i had to pay attention, and i did. Learnt some stuff and i definetely think it benefitted me today. Also, i didn't get my test result back, as i was expecting, but i was told that i passed the test (which i sat before Easter holidays) so that was really good news. I at least know i've made some sort of improvement in the past few months.

After the class i went home and mum opened all of her cards and other presents and she liked all of them to be honest so that was good. Then my dad decided we give my mum some time to herself so he took me and my brother up to play some golf at the driving range while my mum stayed at home with my sister. The thing with golf is that i'm actually ok (i don't play enough to be great) but what i lack is consistency. Just like today, i was hitting some wonderful shots and then some extremely awful ones, its quite a frustrating game at times but it was good stuff anyway (especially as there was this extremely hot boy a few bays away from me, couldnt concentrate on golf properly :P)

So we got back home and i asked my brother if he wanted to play Rock Band with me, and he wasnt doing anything else. He did, i played drums (on expert) and he played guitar (on medium :P)
But it was good anyway, we had a great laugh and we completed some songs that i cant do on single player as i would have failed out.
Anyway, it was good teamwork at the end of the day and i was happy that we worked as a team and had fun too.

We were then summoned away as we went out for a meal for my mum's birthday. Now. My mum and dad are very good at cooking (my dad used to be a chef) so wherever we go, they are always so critical of the restaraunts lol. It's quite awkward sometimes. Today's biggest problems were the prawns, the staff's attitude and the general feel of the place.
I didn't think it was bad but my dad used to work in a big kitchen in a restaraunt in London so i suppose he has the right to be critical, but, however it does get a little annoying. Even the slightest thing and my dad could complain. I don't recall a time in the past few meals we have went out for when he hasn't complained to the manager lmao. He would probably have a field day at MacDonalds!

In the end, it was decided that we wouldn't be returning again, ho hum, but mum enjoyed her meal anyway which is whats important.
She wasn't her usual quiet birthday self, she was quite cheery today.

So when i got home....again, out of nowhere, one of my mum and dad's best friends showed up. I didn't know he was coming although i think they did. He's a great guy, he's my sister's godfather and he is very entertaining. He came round about 8pm after we got home from our meal and we all played games and stuff, he even tried his hand on the Wii which was quite funny. He then remembered Borat was on tv and so everyone ended up watching that. Yep, i watched Borat with my parents lol. Awkward much?
It's a very rude but funny movie.

It finished not long ago and now here i am. Didn't quite have my evening go the way i thought and the day has just whizzed by. Thought i might have been on my computer a good few hours ago but then my mum and dad's friend arrived, which was cool coz he's a great guy but i think i might have prefered he didn't....this evening anyway.

And tomorrow i will get my long overdue lie-in. I have not had one for about two weeks and i am in desperate need now :P
I was thinking i might have some things come for me in the post but no post on Sundays :(
I ordered a Muse and Kasabian poster last night coz i dont actually own any (gasp!) as well as two Muse albums, "Absolution" and "Origin of Symmetry". I have every single Muse song on my iTunes but i do not posses all their albums (blasphemy!) so hopefully they will arrive next week at some point. That's right, paying for music i can already listen to....it is my duty as a hardcore fan to own all albums! :P


Well, that about wraps up this post, its been quite a long one.
I've talked about a load of stuff so don't worry about trying to comment on all of it, but feel free if you have the time.

Really tired now, so off i got to bed :)


Cheers guys,
Rowan


Instead of posting a music video this time, i'm gonna post something a little different.
There is a comedy program on Britain's Channel 4 right now called Facejacker and it's pretty funny, my brother and i watch it, It's about one guy who plays every single character in the show, "hijacking" faces and personalities and going around in public doing all sorts of strange things.

Anyhoo, this sketch is an "art critic" going to view art, unbeknowest to the owner that he is not an art critic and is just a guy in disguise who has no clue about art at all. He has a speech impediment where everything he says ends up starting with the letter 'B' . It's hilarious and me and my brother can't stop quoting all the things he says.
I hope you all find this funny, although i anticipate it won't be to everybody's taste. Sorry if you dont like it, but i don't know how you can't kill youself laughing at this....



(You might want to turn the volume up a little, its' a bit quiet)



BOOH! BAH! BINETY BOO BOO!

What a Disgraceful Day!

Eugh, Thursday's are always the worst day of the week. Today was no different.

I i think the reason they are horrible is coz it is a 7 period day with the worst combination of subjects.

I almost missed the bus this morning but caught it just in time. Maybe would have been better if i missed it coz the following happened in school today :

I lost my jacket which had money in it.
I still haven't got my maths result back yet
I completely fucked up a biology test.

Now the jacket, i think i know where it is. I left it in the dining hall today from what i remember so hopefully i will be able to retrieve it tomorrow. The worst thing was i had to walk home from the bus whithout my jacket, in the rain. The bus stop is only 4 or 5 minutes from my house but that was enough time to get me absolutely drenched so that didn't help add to events previous to this today.

Such as, my whole class has recieved their non-calculator test result back but i haven't yet. It's apparently sitting in the "late" pile coz i did my tests one day after everyone else before the holidays due to me being off one day. I should get the result back on Saturday. Yes, Saturday. The weekend morning maths class returns again....

But the biology was the worst thing. I knew i had the test coming up but ima tell you right now, i do minimal studying for biology. I just cant get any of the stuff into my head. Ive really lost the plot with biology, i would say it has now replaced maths in terms of what i am worst at. Anyway, i sat the thing and guessed at what i would say is about 75% of the questions. There's no doubt about it, i definetely haven't passed.
In a way i'm glad that it is my new worst subject coz at least if i do fail it, i dont have to re-sit the course, like i would with maths which looks like its coming on a little stronger. Of course, i would know that for sure if i could get my bloody results back!

Pppphhhh. This post has been a bit of a downer hasn't it?

I don't really have anything to lighten it up tho really.

Just a few things i will mention :

I'm conducting a little experiment in school at the moment. It's my own little idea and i'll let you know the results in my next post....or i might let it run for another week.

My first exam is in 6 days....

I did two english essays on Monday and Tuesday, i think they went ok but wont know till next week. I also did a french test that went fine.

I have a spanish test and media test tomorrow too. SO MANY TESTS!!!

There is just no rest at the moment, i want the weekend to come but i dont want it to come. I'm not looking forward to this other extra maths class but i am looking forward to going out to a meal on Saturday coz it's my mum's birthday. We're all going.
My mum sometimes acts a little strange around her birthday tho. She shares the same birthday as her mum (my gran) who has passed away now and i don't think she likes to make a big deal out of her birthday but hopefully she will enjoy it this time round. My dad got her some really nice jewellery too and me and my brother are gonna get her a nice card and probably something else.

But for now it's busy, busy, busy, worky, worky, worky, testy, testy, testy (in the words of biology) :P


Cheers,
Rowan
