Week six

Mornings,

It's been a good week, I can tell from the four empty packets of skittles in my bag. Really like the watermelon ones from the core change-y ones. I've also almost finished my UCAS application, hopefully I will be able to get it done by the end of next week.

In other news, I've send out the invites to my 18th birthday party, in Jan, YAY... but long time away, so no yay. Should be good, except Dad wants to make a speech... and is now telling me that I also need to make a speech. I didn't sign up for making a speech.

Talking about skittles, I want more skittles... anyway. Moving away from skittles, I drew three more politics dragons today, each on a topic that has been covered in politics lessons; Tory, Liberal and Ecology dragons. They'll hopefully (if the scanner works) be loaded up to dA within a few days.

I've also managed this week to write some more of my novel called the Chronicals of Hezjena and bugged most of mu friends to proof read the latest part/chapter/bit/thing. Which is brillaint, and I'm using all the insults that I've built up but couldn't actally use against the fool, so yay.

Other than that I've been watching Stargate again, SG1... not as good as Atlantis. I've seen every episode of Atlantis, but I tend to get bored of SG1. Don't know why.

My friend has just started a blog, so I'll include a link at the bottom of the page, when I get round to it.

For now,
Ankh.

Week five

Mornings,

Well this week I've tried fish fingers and custard. Yay, it actually wasn't too bad, but no one wanted the remaining custard after we'd dunked fish fingers in it... Oh well.  I had a dream last night that my old English teacher was shouting at me because I didn't know how to use the word count feature on word... which is weird because I do know how to use word count and I doubt she'd start shouting at me in the Library.

I went to the Birmingham Uni open day this week, and it was alright. It remains in its previous spot as third choice. On the way home the sat nav was playing up, apparently there is a KFC, in the middle of a field near Corby...? Oh, and I got a free bag from the uni, but it says university of Birmingham on it... it smells funny.

I tested out my costume for Professor Trelawney, because I'm going to a Harry-Potter-marathon-watching-spree-movie-day-thing. It looks good, except I don't have the glasses, so I drew a pair on in eyeliner. It looked good until I tried to take it off and looked like I hadn't slept all week.

And, I've also managed to almost complete my Unova region pokedex on White, except I need to exchange a Rufflet for a Vullaby. Anyone want to trade?

For now,
Ankh

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
