Week one

Morning,

Well its been a week since I've posted anything... and its been a long week. School has been good to get back to, and I did an RS essay, twice. But still its been good to get back. It's unfortunate to see some people have managed to get back when I was sure their grades wouldn't be high enough, fool.ish people. I don't think I'll mention any names just to keep things ambiguous, because I hardly want to get sued.

In other news, I've started writing a story called Cyril and the Human, which is a rewrite of George and the Dragon but from the dragon's point of view. I'm writing not only because I'm awesome but as the creative writing part of the girl guiding Commonwealth award. Yay. When it's done I think I'll add Cyril to the site for entertainment purposes... hopefully.

Yesterday I went down with Dad to Swansea University, which I think I'm in love with! I was to study Egyptology there, and we went to look around to see if 'I liked the atmosphere' not quite sure what that means but I liked it. I'm actually in love with the Egyptian Museum. Talked to a few people there about the course and its so beautiful, and one of them gave me a reading list... only problem is I can't for the life of me remember her name and I left the reading list on the side next to the game of Senet. Therefore I can't exactly email saying dear really friendly person I talked to yesterday, I was the person in the blue top, and I'm an idiot. I think I've managed to find all the books on amazon, or at least the authors that were suggested so panic is temporarily averted.

I still need to write my personal statement... I'm not too sure how to translate; omgoshimsoexcitingthisisgoingtobesobeautifuliloveegpytomgoshwoop. Into enthusiastic English without ending up on the 'crazy' pile. Oh well, shiz happens.

For now,
Ankh

Oh, woe

Morning,

Tomorrow I go back to school. I'm actually half excited because I want to see my friends again, and being an extrovert and desperate to get back to gossip. But since I haven't done an essay yet that I need for tomorrow... I'm blogging. Yer I know; honestly I'll do it tomorrow afternoon. We go in until break; yay for 6th form. Then we come home again.

I've just got a poster of Daenerys Targaryen that I've been waiting for. I love it, except I would prefer it to have the words 'Fire doesn't kill a dragon' rather than 'I do not have a gentle heart' but it's still awesome.

I had an odd feeling this morning, it doesn't feel like a Sunday. I guess I'm excited about going back; but some of my friends might not be getting back into the next year because they didn't get the grades. I know its selfish but I really want them to stay because it feels likes slowly (and in certain cases spectacularly) I've been losing friends this year... I think I'm down to 1.5 really close friends. Heck I don't know why I'm complaining, I've had less and survived. Shit happens and you throw them back and ask for lemonade... I think I got that saying confused...

I'm really annoyed with Sopio cards. I ordered the first deck and bonus pack at the start of August and I'm still waiting for them to turn up. I know post doesn't come on a Sunday, (thank you Harry Potter 1) but I'm still looking out the window expectantly. Even more annoying, is that next Saturday there is a tournament in Birmingham and I'm going to be in Birmingham but there is no point even looking if I'll be able to get there because the stupid cards haven't turned up. I would have liked to go but instead I'll be looking round the university. Yay, Ancient History!

Just in mention to Harry Potter I just realised there are 7 dragons in it that I can think of... I'll have to dedicate a month!

For now,
Ankh

The day that never ends


Morning,

Well I'm currently bored out my mind sitting in my room, raining outside, wondering what can I do for my next blog. I want to talk about interesting things, but my best idea at the moment is a blog about how great A3 paper is... yep I think the Muses are on holiday.

I reading my way though Northern Lights, I don't really understand it, but hey its alright. It's the first time I've read it, but I have seen the film. I don't really know what to make of it, I've just got to the bit in the Fens... woop for the Fens :D... I hope things get explained fairly soon or I may put it down for Across the Wall.

I'm really excited for the next episode of Doctor Who, I was never really into it before, because - don't hate me - but I really don't like David Tennent. But have started watching my way though the old episodes. My theories are;
That River Song either kills the Doctor, or she may kill Rory.
The Doctor that was killed by the Astronaut could be a ganger... but that would need an explanation of why he didn't turn into white slime.
I think that River Song is the child that was in the astronaut suit... but she might not be because she didn't seem to recognise the suit when it was found empty... therefore it might be her.

I'm also really disappointed because I wanted a top from dA, but after googling how long it would take for it to be sent from the US to the UK... I decided I didn't want to wait, but now I'm stuck in a kind of disappointment, because I washed both of my parents cars to get the money... and now no reward. But Mum is taking me to London next Wed, so hopefully I can find something to buy (in all of London) to make up for it.

I've also decided that I'm not taking English Lit for A2, which means I don't have to read Frankenstein. Got to say that’s a bit of a relief... I'm about half way through and if I said I hated it, that wouldn't be a hyperbole. It's so painfully dull, it just goes on and on, and I lost the will to care shortly after I turned the front cover. And it also means I won't have to do English coursework... YAY! I was going to drop Politics... but hey, there be dragons.

Hope this has been slightly entertaining.

For now,
Ankh.
