Apparently the big strong winds that we've had today were the tail end of a weak tropical hurricane. Yeah, I know - we don't get hurricanes in England. That's why it's worrying.

Also, I might just take the extra three modules next term and end up with four full A-Levels rather than 3-and-AS-Further-Maths. Not sure whether I'd take, though, for the third: FP3, M4 or D2.

EDIT: Looks like it wasn't the 'tail end' at all. *hears thunder*

I am seriously WTFing at Biology. I got a 'c' the first time I took the Foundation Module, and I've been getting 'D's in all of our mocks - how the hell did that turn into an overall 'A'?

I got about what I expected in the others. Maths was very rushed with the learning, and I hadn't actually finished reading the M2 book when I took that exam (that was the u). Chem was my guaranteed 'A'. Physics was up in the air, but I expected an 'A' or a 'B'.


After spending and hour and a half at school with Mez and Lottie, waiting for other people to turn up (after Mia and Hattie left, no-one did, though we overheard the phonecall to Zahra in Guadaloup), I went back to work to tell the folk at the office, had me lunch, and then shot off to East-the-Water for a singing workshop organised by Emma from 'Emma and the Professor'.

The girls from 'Ember' (Rebecca and Emily) turned up, a mother-daughter combo, the lady who runs the church and a festival-organisation bloke. I'll get up some recordings in a bit - not from the workshop, but the songs from it I've recorded afterward.

NowI'vegotaconcerttogotoandhaveytogoquickbye!

ETA: The show was great - there was a boy on first, and he was really nervy and it was cute. And he played the mandolin and sang about being in love with a married Blacksmith. The second woman - well, you could hear the substituted vowels whenever she said the word 'women'. Third we had Tony Truscott again (I bought his CD), and then last we had a dueting pair whose penultimate song was the best.
I know that, despite my full half-term of revision Biology, I've done badly in them. Mechanics 2 wasn't peachy, either.

Bio breakdown: Module 3 (Transport) was first, and I think that of all of them I did best in this one - though that's probably just false security. Module 2 (Genes and Genetics) was much the same - but in question 7a, the 6-marker, I wrote a lovely hit-all-the-points answer about creating transgenic bacteria. Too bad that the question was asking about the PCR, which I know next to nothing about. I just bulked it out with a sample log equation... Module 1 (Foundation), the retake, was the worst, I think.

Afterward, my brain was so fried that I couldn't revise - such a headache, with stingy eyes... I should have got a heyfever note.

Mechanics breakdown: M1 was lovely - the exams conditions were lovely. There were only two columns of us, all 6th Form, and it was so hot that I wasn't fevery. I was hyperventillating at the beginning though. XD

M2 was a monster. Same conditions, only there was only two of us, but the exam! I could do questions 3 and 4 all the way - question 1 I don't think that I finished properly, question 2 I finished in the last 20 mins, and questions 5, 6, and 7 I drew force diagrams and jotted, having absolutely no idea what to do.

Well, M2 is an A2 module. My first, actually. And the fact that I could do almost half is a good sign, right? Meh. There's always January.




Chemistry 'Ch&R' and 'HF, HF' tomorrow. My best subject - but I haven't looked at it yet. So after this is posted, and I've checked my email again, it's revision time!

Oh, and BTW - new Ouran icon! (WIP)
