Thorpe Park

Thorpe Park was absolutely immense! I have the most amazing friends, ever! Francesca's driving skills were superb, Rebecca & Layla's company was fab as always, the traffic was (almost) non-existent, the weather was perfect, and the day was wonderful!

"Goodbye, my Locker"

I couldn't sleep last night, and woke up at a ridiculous time this morning. After physics, I felt completely exhausted, still do. The exam went okay; could've been much worse. After the exam, I went over to my sister's school for her "Inflatable Day". It was pretty good to just sit there and do nothing apart from think about nothingness.
I'll miss my locker. I actually had a pretty cool "view" from this place. It wasn't used much though to be honest, but still, it's the end of an era!

ΔU=Q+W

It was 29 degrees today. I don't cope well under heat - I'm not an ideal gas! I've had to have naps during the day for the last 3 consecutive days. Ahh perhaps it's the old age?
This morning I took my sister to her piano exam. That room automatically induces a horrible feeling of nerves and anxiety in me, even though it wasn't even me taking the exam.
Exams will be over soon... very soon! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!
Revision today has been awful though - I'm getting eye-infection symptoms, and it's been gradually getting worse, so like at the moment, I can't actually see what I'm typing. Hopefully, really hopefully, it'll clear up by tomorrow afternoon for my exam. If not, I'll write the same equation on every page of the exam, hopefully picking up at least one mark, which is what I need in this paper for an A in physics. If I regain my sight, haha, I'll try and aim for an A*.
I was just thinking, this year, the year 2010, is going to be soooooooo cool! Like at the start of the year, I got my Cambridge offer, did January exams, January results, and I've been to (a rather guiltily) huge number of concerts this year, met the wonderful Henry, had some amazing times with my amazing friends at school. After these gruesome exams, I have a super duper hectic week to look forward to, then Americaland, results day, Chinaland, then university! So much stuff has happened/will happen this year. (Don't worry, I'll stop bragging soon!) This year will be hugely monumental, regardless if good or bad things happen, it will be different. And... the best thing is, I'VE BLOGGED IT!!!!!
Ok, back to the present, Hannah, unlike myself, is really pretty good at dealing with nerves:

Fail Lions

Physics specimen paper turned out worse than expected, but nothing of major concern I guess. Meh, since there is only one past paper, and one specimen, I can't really do much about it, apart from random cramming from the pretty much useless textbook.
Chinaland tickets have been confirmed! Hurray!
Still exhausted... Lethargy is actually evil.
England failed epicly today. The flags are still up though:

Win-bledon

I was just thinking... instead of "Game", or "Love, fifteen", when a player makes a mistake, the umpire should just say "Fail." Just for lols. And just that once, to see if anyone actually notices. She/he has to say it in all seriousness though.
Today's physics revision resulted in major naptime. I still feel sooooo tired though. I think this is one of my main criticisms of the A level exam system. The exams are so far spread apart - mine cover a spread of 33 days. 7 exams in 33 days. In terms of being able to dedicate like a whole week to one subject, I guess that's good. However, that also means that for subjects like physics, by the 33rd day, because I've been concentrating on other subjects, I feel as if I'm not as sharp on the subject than I would have been say on the 1st day. Also, my main issue is that I don't have the mental stamina to put up with 33 days of non-stop stress, worry and anxiety about exams. I'd so much prefer to have them all done within a few days. I can cope with that, and I can take my rest after. With these exams I have now, I basically haven't been able to sleep/rest properly for 33 days, which really really really tires me out.
Rant over. I met a spider today. I met many actually, when I finally tidied my room.

One More Eggs Ham

Couldn't sleep at all last night - tossed and turned for about two and a half hours, then finally slept on the couch. Which meant I was really quite tired for economics this morning. But it was okay - it was a relatively tough exam, but, it was the last time I ever have to think about the economy, ever! Hurray!! One more exam left! Even more hurray!!
After economics, I went shopping/emptied my bank account. Ok, no I didn't spend that much, but in terms of actual shopping, it was actually really quite successful. Usually, I buy nothing. I just don't like clothes shopping in general. But today, even though there was some horrendous singing going on in the shopping centre, I bought some pretty nice clothes, and these amazing heels that I can't actually walk in:

Revizzzzzzion

Today has been dedicated to economics revision. Last ever (and I think perhaps the first ever) day of actually cramming for this horrible subject. Will I miss it? No. Never. Not in a million years. Not in an infinite number of years.
I need... 97.5% UMS to get an A*, but 65% for an A. I'll be happy with an A. However, today I worked out that for the specimen paper, I actually just about got 100% UMS. Which means, it's not totally impossible for me to get an A*. So why not? Because I don't need it. I don't need any grade in this actually. But still... if there's a possibility, why not aim for it? Oh, because I won't get it. Why? Because I totally suck at this subject!
The exam is 2 hours long. That's just inhumane! I can't write for 2 hours non-stop. I can't concentrate for 2 hours non-stop. I can't just sit there for 2 hours non-stop! But.. I think I'm going to have to - it's more than likely that I will actually run out of time for this paper.
One plus side of Project 365 - having not left the house/kitchen/same seat for the whole day, I finally went outside to take a photo:
