3/31/2007 Old Ladies.Today I visited my grandparents. While Dad and Ben
were at the football, Mum and I went up to Lanark, bought cakes and went to the
old fogies place for a wee blether. When we went in, one of my grandparents wee
old friends was over, trying to persuade Grandma to fix her computer. Of course
Grandma is just about as clueless as Toni herself. Sooo I offered my expertise,
and earned myself a few quid!
So after cakes, I explained all my university stuff
to the grandparents, they seemed quite chuffed for me. And then the boys came
back and we got a Chinese. Fun fun.
Tomorrow we're going into Glasgow to walk round the
uni, because Dad hasn't really seen it, and we're going to Ikea to buy me some
student-y stuff like cutlery! Woo! I'm so excited!

3/30/2007 Spring Break YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYOh yes I got a lie in this morning. I wasn't going to go to school, so I just let myself sleep in 'til about 10. Then I met my Dad in the kitchen and he thought I was at school, so nearly shit himself, haha. I was stuck with the ink exercise though, so I went in for maths and computing and came home after that.
My brother also finished early so we lay and watched TV for hourssss! I'm really hyper because it's Spring Break.

3/29/2007 CheekyMonkeyHigh--<3Oh today was so pointless in the morning. English
consisted of Mrs. S having her emotional goodbye. It's not even the end of the
year yet! It's only the Spring Break! So we didn't do any work, but we got notes
on the poem, and we chose her texts for her Higher class next year, haha.
Chemistry we didn't really do anything. Mr J was in
a skiving mood, and so we skived. Biology, meh, our teacher wasn't there, so we
didn't get a hell of a lot of work done which was nice and lazy.
Oh, I'm going to see Razorlight with Helyn, Debbie,
Emma and Elizabeth next Thursday. As Rachel is having her tonsils out, she can't
go, so I'm having her ticket. Woo! Just thought of that there. Mental note: find
£27 for Rachel. Maths, well we got hyper on
Cheeky Monkey's and threw Dolly Mixtures at Miss L, did no work, laughed, just a
general usual double period. Fun fun.
Tonight I attempted the maths ink exercise. And
failed dramatically. Woo
Sammi
3/28/2007 Decapitated NedHmm, maths annoyed me today. I followed how the SQA
do a certain type of question, and Miss L took a mark off me for not doing her
gay "lets put a squiggly line over here" thing. She can fuck off. I'll get that
mark in the exam and shove it up her fat squiggly arse. It annoys me when
teachers say something is wrong just because it's not done their
way.
Computing, Mr Q got pissed off at me for having
finished two past papers, apparently it's too much bother for him to mark them.
Nah, it's okay, don't strain yourself to help one of your pupils to pass. Urg.
Okay I do like Mr Q, he's great, but he makes me feel bad for doing well in his
class. :(
English, well Mrs. S was back, and told us that
what Mr. F said was wrong. Oh effing joy. Why is it wrong? I thought poetry
meant to you what it meant to you. How can the personal meaning of something be
wrong? I was all set to write about this poem in the exam, and now I'm all
confused =[
Then Chemistry we went down to see the Easter
service, which I fully expected to be the whole "God this, Jesus that" saga, but
it wasn't much like that. There was a magician who did various magic tricks and
then forced religion to fit in with them somehow. It was funny, and he almost
decapitated a random ned. And we didn't even have to do the whole "lets bow our
heads and pray to the Lord," has school finally realised that it's not ethical
to force Christianity onto us?
I'm going to see a financial advisor tomorrow to se
about getting a student loan. It seems they don't wanna give me one because I
don't have a final offer letter. But I won't have one 'til August, and I need
the account details for SAAS way before August. MEHHHH!!

3/27/2007 FartingDoes everyone fart?
One of life's big questions. And one that Nicole,
Hannah and I have been investigating today. With much hilarity. Most people sit
in the cafe and brag about how drunk they got at the weekend, how many people
they got off with, us - nah, we giggle about farting. Just about sums up the
childishness of us!
We do have a PSE video, but I've not uploaded it.
Because it mostly consists of Hannah's nostrils. Mmmmm.
Tonight, I have been doing biology, as well as
playing with a stupid pinball machine that my brother brought home from a jumble
sale at his school. He also bought a PS1 for £1. Despite the fact we HAVE a PS1
that sits in the pig room and never gets played with. Mmmmm...
English was the most fun today. We're doing a poem,
Visiting Hour, and so far me, and the rest of my previous class have had it
taught to us by both Mrs. Sw and Mrs. Sc. And now Mr F comes in to teach it.
Three CONTRASTING teachings of the poem. So we ended up in a riot. Mr F wished
he'd kept his mouth shut, and English was spent rioting and arguing. I like
English sometimes! And the black figure was THE MAN. Not the woman.
K?
Gonna stop rambling now...

3/26/2007 ClockAck I slept in today, because my phone alarm went
off at 8am as opposed to 7am. Because of the clock change you know? But yeah, it
didn't even get me out of double computing. So double computing was crap. Just
doing past papers, which I don't really mind doing to be honest. Double biology, we finished the course. Woo. Finally. That's
quite good I think. So now we've just got revision.
I've studied with Dave tonight. If I pass biology
it will be down to him. Ty Dave <3
Sammi
3/25/2007 Oh. Emm. Jee.This weekend has been really quite exciting. I may
not have left the house, but still. First off, I clicked the button on UCAS.
Confirming my university places. My firm is Glasgow and my Insurance is
Caledonian. i'm SO excited now. I know that provided I get BBB. I'm GOING TO
UNI!!!!!!! YESSS!
Secondly, I filled in my application for my
provisional driving license, which was all very hilarious with the
picture-taking. Why is it that I can't keep a sensible face on in front of a
camera? So I've applied for that, and in the process, wrote my first cheque to
pay for that. (£38 for a driving license!!!)
Lastly, I've applied for accommodation at Glasgow
Uni. I've picked the QM as my first choice, because it's new, and has all
en-suite rooms, and it's easy to get to, and is probably the closest. I'm SO
exciting for going to uni now. I have suddenly found motivation to study, i
REALLY am going to work to get those B's. I couldn't possible face going back to
school. OMG.

3/22/2007 ZombiesWednesday, was much boring really. I don't actually
remember anything significant happening. Oh, actually, in PD, I learnt a great
deal about the male anatomy, and the male toilets, and how guys pee. Mmmmm
educational.
Today was also pretty boring. We had that weird wee
woman for English, the one that did actions of a zombie when we were in the
other class. And double maths, well that was the hardest double ever! We did
three new things, none of which I understood ANY of. It really was torture, and
to make matters worse, my maths partner in crime was off doing "something" that
she refuses to tell me about. Oookay.
I still haven't clicked the UCAS button yet.
Sammi
3/20/2007 Glasgow.Ahhhh today was much fun! First off, we got the new
car today, which I still think is an ugly thing, a Kangoo, but it's for Ben.
It's so he can go in it in his wheelchair and noone has to lift him, which will
be cool when I can drive as we can go out together without having to take a
parent to do the lifting!
Anyway, the main thing today was visiting the
University of Glasgow. We went in on the bus and got a taxi to the Uni, because
we were kind of late going in because of the car coming. We've been in lectures,
toured labs, lecture theatres, ground and residences. It's all been very
interesting. And the uni is GORGEOUS!! It's so old and it's just beautiful.
Surrounded by lovely gardens and parks it's just so nice!
I'm now stuck at choosing universities. I'm stuck
between Caledonian and Glasgow. Strathclyde didn't impress me much to be honest,
it's an average uni. I don't know, not my cup of tea. Caledonian is modern,
close to town, easy to navigate. I guess it's just going to come down to
picking! Ahhhh!
Sammi
3/19/2007 Boobie PrizeMonday morning, comprised of me doing a computing
past paper for two hours, sitting on my own while Mr Q taught "the class" which
I appear to be no longer part of. Screw him. Just because I'm better than them.
Hmph. Then at break went to see Miss L about maths, she was in a good mood and
helped! Seemed quite pleased with us going to ask for help.
So in biology I copied up my maths all nice and
neat, and didn't do much biology. We had subs, our teacher wasn't there. So I
went home at lunch, and came back for maths. And Miss L was in a good(ish) mood
and was talking to her wooden spoon, saying "awww noone loves you," I turned to
Nicole and said "well duh noone's going to love it, it's the boobie prize."
(Because she gives the spoon to whoever gets the worst mark in the ink
exercises.) And Nicole laughs, gets sent out, has to sit on her own. I felt
really bad as it was totally my fault. However she says it's ok.
i'm at Glasgow university tomorrow all day, so get
a nice wee day off school. Woo. It's a full day of lectures, tours, talks etc.
After that I'll have seen all three universities I've applied to, so can make my
decision. Ahhhh! Scary stuff!
Sammi 3/18/2007 Meh.Pretty boring weekend really. Spent Saturday
sleeping mostly, due to the lack of sleep I've had the last few nights, because
of well, stuff.
Today, well I sat and watched 6 hours of Casualty,
and then cracked on with homework. I got yelled at by my parents, because I'm
doubting wanting to go to uni. I've read a lot into it, and people are mainly
saying that leaving school in 5th year isn't a good idea because for one, you're
too young to get into clubs, so your socialising is up the spout. For two, no
one from your year at school will be there, so you're going to be alone for at
least your first day. And for three, people lack the maturity to go into uni
when they're just 17. 6th year is the year for maturing and making sure you're
ready to go to uni.
But basically, in suggesting this, i found out my
parents think I'm talented, they think my friends are dumb fucks, and I am being
stupid by not going to uni this year. What if I don't feel ready to go? Yeah
it's exciting, but sometimes I feel like I'm growing up too fast, it's like I'm
going to lose out of my 6th year at school. I'm going to miss all the fun that
goes with that. While my friends are having fun being top of the school, I'm
going to be all alone, in my first year of uni. I just don't know. But I guess I
know what my parents want. This decision clearly isn't mine, it's my parents.
Who have made me feel like shit for having friends, for having doubts and for
wanting to stay young and not rush into being an adult.
Sammi 3/16/2007 SandwichesSorry for not blogging last night. I wasn't in the mood. Yesterday, Thursday, was crap. For reasons best known to myself.
However public speaking was quite good. Nicole was awesome and I thought she should have gotton best speaker, Kirsty got it and it was well deserved because I think the competition was between Kirsty and Nicole. It was good overall though, okay so we didn't win. We were third. We didn't have a good team though, apart from Nicole, so I guess that's what let us down a lot.
Today, Friday. Happy Red Nose Day. Oh yes, it's the wear-something-red-and-bring-a-pound-for-charity day. So I wore my something red and brought a pound for charity. I was in regi for 10 minutes and then Nicole decided we'd skip the first two periods and go down the street. We stopped at Nicole's to get her bank card, wandered down to mine to print off an essay, and wandered to get something to eat at lunch. Then wandered back up, and were approaching the school when we realise we've got another half an hour to kill. So we stood in the freezing cold for that duration. And I was so cold, my hands turned blue.
Here's a quote for ya "I'm Nicole and I've got sandwiches and a donut in my hood."
Rest of the day was pretty average I guess. Dad's out of hospital, the operation went well, but he's having to have another one to get a false knee or something. He's been told to rest, but nooo, he's a wee housewife and has a panic over the fact he's fallen behind with the housework! What the heck?
Sammi
3/14/2007 BankaidWell well. Today started off being alright, during
assembly, Nicole and I decided to go a wee jaunt down the street. Primarily
because Nicole needed a top up (that girl goes through amazing amounts of money
on her phone) but also because we couldn't be bothered with maths. So we went
down the street, got the top up, went about for a bit and were just walking back
up to the school being all smug with ourselves for getting away with it, when
who should drive past in her flash new motor, but her mother. Uh
oh.
We were back into school at the start of second,
computing, which was immensely boring as I have nothing to do. Apart from past
papers that Mr Q can't help me with, "sorry, these questions confuse me, I can't
help you." He's the bloody teacher! Arghhhh! English we did the blood story again, which is still as gross, and
chemistry we just did problems and Mr J is still having his baby, still not him
personally, his wife.
PD, well we were going to be doing maths, but a
small crisis in the Nicole department ended us up in Mr Q's classroom where I
did the maths homework. I also found emails that I sent to David when we were
going out, apparently I had orgasms over him, in the middle of PSE, with Zoe.
Oookay.
Tonight I went to the office in the hospital to
hand in IDs and stuff, and it looks like I'm on bank aid. I don't quite know
what's happening, but I guess I'll have a job at least in summer. At £6 minimum
an hour. Not bad. Also ended up in B&Q, God I hate that shop, it's full of
dirty men!
Well, Daddy is going for his operation tomorrow,
finally, even though they've cancelled it three times. So yeah, no more lifts to
school for a while. Blahhhhh!
Sammi 3/13/2007 Tuesday.Computing this morning was dire. I got yelled at. A
lot. For having finished the course. Feck off. Seriously. Then Chemistry Mr J is
off to have a baby, so we had that French teacher. And I went for my interview
with Miss C, and for once she didn't try and persuade me out of uni TOO
much.
Then maths, omg. We has this amazing teacher, who
taught us this thing in such a simple way! Nicole and I BOTH got it! He's pure
genius! Honestly! Then in PSE due to lack of Hannah (she fainted and went home),
there was no video.
English, we had a nab. Personal study. I reckon it
went okay.
What do you do if you like someone too
much?
=S
Sammi 3/12/2007 R.I.P HoneyToday was shit really. Computing I got lectured for
being the only person in the year who has disappointed Mr. Q. Despite the fact I
get straight A's and got the highest mark in the year in the prelim. Yeah, I got
a lecture for that. He's also pissed at me because I've finished the course.
Well fuck him.
Biology was pretty shite too. As I was off on
Friday I thought I'd do some work over the weekend to catch up. I've done too
much work and had not a lot to do today. Sorry for making an
effort. Oh, and we got report cards out, and
my parents think I must be doing something wrong as Mr. Q is "disappointed" in
me. Wanker. I don't get what's so fecking disappointing about getting the best
marks in the year. Okay so I don't have to make much effort. I apologize for
being naturally good at the subject.
English we did some story that was just downright
gross. Called "Blood". Mmmm cheery. And maths, well maths was pretty
boring.
And then I'm walking home when I meet my Dad, who
tells me Honey is dead. Honey? What the heck? Honey's the youngest, healthiest
piggy. But yeah, she's died. Dad found her curled up and thought she was
sleeping, but she didn't move. I don't know what happened. I'm guessing a stroke
or some kind of heart failure as she was in no way ill, and was perfectly okay
this morning. R.I.P Honey.
Sammi 3/11/2007 Hm.Today. I have achieved absolutely naught. I didn't
even do any homework so now I'm fecked for this week. Meh.
Vista.Well. I have Vista fully installed now and I have to say, I now love it
completely! When I first installed, it wouldn't recognise my webcam, printer,
scanner, TV card etc etc. But with a lot of Googling, complaining to Microsoft
and generally cursing at it. It's finally working. I even have TV from a tuner
that isn't supposed to be compatible with Vista. It took me all day to get the
TV to work. But yes, it's working now. I loooove it. It's sooo sleek and sexy
and has cool features. The Aero windows thing keeps me amused, it's well
cool!
The grandparents were over today and well I haven't really done much else
apart from playing with my Vista. I'm a sad geek. I'm also a system builder now.
So there. 3/8/2007 I GOT MY VISTA... But I've not installed it yet because I effed
up my D drive. And I can't be assed blogging. 3/7/2007 Define love.Ahh Wednesday. I left for school today at 8:46 and
wasn't late. Well okay I was, but totally didn't get marked late. How good was
that? Maths, well that was rather funny, we almost got Miss L to say "cock",
well, "cock-you-lat-oor" which is her version of "calculator." That was class.
Then computing, I spent all period looking at clip art of Chinese dudes. I was
making a front cover for my coursework task. Seeing as I have to find something
to occupy myself with for the rest of the week. Hmph.
English we had that student teacher which was
pretty boring, and chemistry Mr J was behaving for once and we did and
experiment that actually worked! Oh, and I went to PD. Well, I turned up in
school. Then Nicole and I went up to computing and I helped her finish her
coursework task. Difficult job explaining things to Nicole, but I'm chuffed she
gets it all now!
Tonight I haven't done an awful lot. Oh, my Vista
was dispatched and I might get it tomorrow.
YAY!!!!!!!! |
