5/29/2007 WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOkay, sorry for not blogging. Was studying.
Honestly! Computing exam was quite hard, and there was this evil 9 mark question
at the end on PROLOG! PROLOG! The only effing bit of the course I can't do!
However I think the exam went okay!
Then last night I sat up and studied chemistry, and
the exam this morning turned out to be quite easy! I think I might even have got
an A! But yes, that's my exams all over with. I feel so free!
And guess what else, I finally got to drive on the
road. And it was quite good! And I don't know what to do with myself
now!
Sammi
5/28/2007 17 =]Ahhhh today was quite good. Slept in... Mmhm. Then
lounged about all day, studying computing with Darren. Who is just
awesome. I went out for dinner for my
birthday with grandparents, that was quite nice, and got them to witness the
signing of the tenancy. Moving in on the 7th July, all being well.
Gawd, it's my birthday and I don't have anything
to write. Meh, this was a crappy birthday due to studying.
Sammi
5/26/2007 Am I not sweet anymore?Weeee I'm really hyped up today. For many reasons
really. First off, it's my birthday tomorrow, so this is my last day of being
sweet sixteen. I'm going to turn into a psycho-bitch-pumpkin at midnight. Haha.
Got to say a massive thank you to Dave who sent me flowers and a teddy today for
my birthday! How sweet is that?
Secondly, I got my tenancy for my flat,
so that's going to be filled in tonight and I think I'll take it into
Glasgow myself on Wednesday maybe. Woo lots of signing! I love signing! Also
have to persuade my Dad to pay the £250 deposit. Anyways, I know what block and
flat and room I'm in now! Though where that actually IS I don't know, but
hopefully if I go into Glasgow on Wednesday I can have a wee nosey at the block
numbers and see where about I am.
Thirdly, got driving lessons sorted out for after
exams. On the road this time. Should be better than farting around in a big
empty space. Few lessons and I'll be out there! Weeee! I argued with my parents
over just sitting the automatic test, because I can do that like, tomorrow, but
they've argued back and have made me do it in a manual, so I guess I'm going to
have to make friends with the clutch after all. Looking forward to actually
going somewhere though.
Ahhhh I've studied a bit today, chemistry, and
although it's taken me three days to do one past paper, I'm getting it! And
another thank you goes out to Michael who's been helping me a lot with
chemistry, so thanks Michael, it's much appreciated!
I'm 17 in 4 hours and 16 minutes

5/24/2007 The Stupidity of my FatherWell, today I'm going to blog about my father.
Today I woke up, looked out the window, to find my father, with a Hoover,
hoovering the garden. So I assumed I was sleeping and dreaming up this strange
scene. So I went and made a cup of tea, and returned to the window, to find him
up a ladder, with the Hoover suspended from the telephone wire, apparently
vacuuming the roof.
He then comes running in later on, to tell me he's
attempted to Hoover out a bumble bee nest, and the bumble bees aren't happy.
What the hell? I worry for this man's sanity, I really do. And to top it all
off, he was still hoovering after 5 o'clock this evening, in the rain. Hoovering
the roof, in the rain. It's not me hallucinating is it?
Anyway, today I have realised just how little I
know about higher chemistry. And that's not good. Computing however, blah, I've
been teaching people it all day!
Sammi
5/23/2007 WeeeeeeWell, I've just received some rather exciting news.
I've been allocated a double room at Cooperage, so it's all definite! YESSS!
There was some kind of problem with the tenancies so it hasn't been sent out
yet, but it's all good now! I'm soooooo EXCITED now.
Well, I studied this afternoon (note: not morning)
for a whole hour and 45 minutes. OH YES GO ME!
Sammi
5/21/2007 [Biology]Ahhhh okay I haven't told you about my weekend
away. Well my brother was in respite this weekend, so we decided to drive down
to Kippford for the weekend as my grandparents are staying there just now. So we
were meant to be leaving early morning on Friday, but Dad decided to fart about
for half the day so we didn't leave 'til like lunchtime. We stopped off at
Dalbeattie for food, and then went from there to Kippford. They're staying at a different house to last time, it's a
nicer house, but it's not got as good a view because there's tones of trees, but
it was nice all the same. We went out for dinner and stuffed ourselves with ice
cream, and I actually studied a little.
Then on Saturday I studied some more, and took Dad
a long walk to Rockcliffe and back, and it pissed down and we got soaked, but it
being Scotland it was glorious sunshine half an hour later so it was all okay.
Then after that I got bored so studied. On Sunday we went for lunch, then got
more ice cream, and walked along the front and it was freezing.
Today, biology exam, hmm. Was okay actually. Apart
from my wee panic at getting 4 D's in a row, then 3 C's in a row on the multiple
choice. The essays went great, I had predicted respiration, so I'd studied that
pretty well. Weeee! I'm aiming for at least a B, if not an A.
Sammi
5/17/2007 3 DaysI love sleeping 'til 12. Again I haven't done
anything particularly interesting today, tidied a bit. I'm the weird one who
likes tidying. I'm going away tomorrow to Kipford, which is near Dumfries, which
is in that direction *points west.* I'm going with my parents and grandparents,
as Ben is away at respite. Weeee!
Sammi
5/16/2007 CatchupAhhhh I love being off school, and not having an
exam the next day. I've done sweet nothing today. Woke up at like 9, then lay in
bed snoozing 'til the afternoon. Until my Dad roused me by stomping about
ranting about the rabbit.
So today I haven't actually done anything, but I
got a response from Cooperage, they're going through my application today and
have allocated me a double room. Just need to get the tenancy through, and get
that signed, deposited and sent off. Then I will be UBERLY hyper as that makes
it all real. Once I get that through, I AM GOING. And that makes me wanna jump
up and down like... Well like a jumping thing.
'Twas my brother's birthday today, he's 15, and he
thinks that because he's 15 and I'm 16, he's catching up with me, and one day
he'll be older than me. What he fails to realise is the fact I'm 17 in 10 days.
(OMG IN 10 DAYS!) But anyways, we went out to Pizza Hut for dinner to celebrate.
Quote of the day, from my Dad - "I remember.." -
Funny because my Father never remembers anything, he struggles to remember his
own postcode, and this was him coming out with some random garble about Chicago
Town pizzas. Hilarious.

5/15/2007 [Mathsss]Maths was okay. Paper 1 was easy, too easy in fact.
I had finished more than half the paper in 15 minutes. (We get an hour and 10
minutes.) And then when I went to sit paper 2, the invigilator came over to me
and told me I was disqualified for putting "Sammi" instead of "Samantha." So I'm
voided for English, and paper 1 of maths, according to her. However everyone
I've spoke to says they can't do that. Plus I put Sammi on all my Standard
Grades and it was okay, so I'm not worrying too much.
Paper 2 was hard. Really hard. I messed up quite a
bit, and was still writing when the hour and a half was up. However, having
looked at the solutions and comparing them with my own answers (I scribbled them
down on the question paper) I have worked out I have at least 76%. And that was
me marking really harshly, like taking the whole 10 marks off for one little
error. So I think I've got an A, or at least a B, which is what I need. Happy.
=]
Sammi
EekI woke up this morning and realised how much of the
higher maths course I don't know. So I naturally panicked. And went to pester
miss L. Who wasn't really much help. She just assured me I was getting an A.
Meh. I'll do fine as long as logarithms don't come up too much. Anyways.
Bedtime.
Sammi
5/11/2007 [English]So one down, four to go. This morning I switched
between panicking that I need to get a B to do medicine, and not caring because
I don't even need to pass it to do MCB. Hmm.
So the first one was close reading, which I found
quite easy to be honest. I don't know if that's a good sign or not. I had ages
of time left at the end, so I waffled a lot in the mini-essay-comparison-type
question at the end. I don't know how quite I did on that one! The passage
was about Google and the Internet though, so I guess it was an interesting
subject matter for computer geeks like myself.
The writing however was a slightly different story.
Flicking through the booklet seeing nothing jumping out at me for prose or drama
was worrying, so I skipped right to the poetry section where there was a perfect
question for Visiting Hour, about metaphysical journey in a poem. Puuuurfect. I
waffled a bit, and I'm scared I did what we're all told not to do and did a
chronological analysis, but hey, I think it went okay.
Then a panic again as I go back to prose/drama and
try to fit a prose question to Wuthering Heights, to no avail. So I'm stuck
writing about a "character who makes a crucial error" in The Crucible. I'm so
effing glad I spent yesterday studying that, or I really would have been stuck.
But I don't think that essay went well at all, I waffled a lot, repeated myself,
stuck random quotes in here and there and did a really short and stupid
conclusion. I might even have failed on that essay.
So overall - I reckon I've got a decent pass for
close reading, but a shitty pass if at all for the writing. Worst subject is
overrrr. I'm going to study maths, because I like studying maths.

5/10/2007 Woo and ShitI took Dad to see the flat yesterday, we didn't get
lost (I found us our way there, perfectly, go me!), and he loved the place! He's
well impressed with it, and got to see how lovely it is. We got taken on another
wee tour, same as Mum and I got the other day. He's all impressed. So we handed
in my form and the guy says the tenancy will get sent out early next week, and
as soon as that and the £250 deposit is returned, I'm in!
We also went a little wander round about the flat.
There's a bridge just behind it, that leads directly to the back entrance of the
SECC. So not only is that handy for gigs, but the SECC station is just another
10 min walk through the tube, and from there I can get a direct train home or
into town or whatever, so I needn't actually go on the scary
subway.
Came home and did a teeny bit of English, I did
half a close reading paper.
Today I realised that I really should learn my
play, The Crucible, so I've spent this morning learning that, learning quotes
etc. I've never actually READ the play though. Relying on summaries and
quotations. Thank you spark notes.com. And I'm just sorting out exactly what I
do have for the exam tomorrow. I'm quite honestly shitting it. I have a novel
(Wuthering Heights), a play (The Crucible) and three poems (Visiting Hour,
Revelation and Trio). I'm now in a worry that I should learn a short story, but
I didn't particularly like either of the short stories we did. So I'll either
play it dangerously and learn the stuff mentioned above, or I'll learn a short
story later on this evening.
I'm panicking I know. But on the bright side,
English is the only exam I'm panicking about, as for the rest I have an appeal
for an A lying behind me, and they're study-able anyway. I've always feared
English, but in less than 18 hours it will all be over. Then I can get on with
studying the subjects I like. I hate English.
i'm aiming for a pass tomorrow. If I get a C I will
be happy. B I will be extremely happy, as this will mean I can live my dream and
do medicine, and if I by some fluke of luck I get an A, I'll probably die of
amazement. Good luck to everyone else sitting Highers, especially those sitting
English, and especially those in my situation, that need to pass these to get
into uni this year.

5/8/2007 I has a flatToday was good fun. I went into school for my last
period -- computing. I actually only went in to see how I did in English and
maths prelims. Mrs. S wasn't in so I couldn't get English, but Miss L was in,
and I got 98% =] I'm not going to bother my butt studying for maths if I can get
that kind of score with not a lot of effort!
Then Mum and I went into town on the train, did a
wee bit of shopping, and then went to visit a flat at Cooperage place. Wow, it
was lovely! So nice in fact, that I'm taking Dad tomorrow to see it, and to put
down the deposit! And, I'll have the flat from beginning of July. Summer parties
anyone?
So today's been fun. Apart from the fact I asked my
Dad how the payments for accommodation would work out, and he went off the nut
and declared he wasn't paying any of it. So I worked it out that if I worked
really hard over summer and at weekends during term time, and used my savings, I
could just afford it. But I managed to talk sense into him and my parents are
going to contribute now. Woo.
I'm so happy and I can't wait to move
in!!!!!
BRING ON JULY!!!!!!!!!
Sammi
5/5/2007 I haesA cold. Why do I have a cold when it's being all
summery? It sucks. My Mother thinks I have a chest infection, so she is feeding
me medicine that looks like liquefied feces. Yum. I think it's helping though, I
feel better now than I have for a while.
Today I was going to study English. So I printed
out quotes, and stuck them to my wall. Yes this constitutes studying, in my
books at least. I'm going to do a past paper though, because this is slightly
more convincing as real work.
I think I lost a friend last night, know why?
Because I'm not good enough for them. Why not? Because I'm not a Christian.
<rant> I have nothing against religious people, I respect what they think
and believe and go by, but I absolutely cannot stand it when they either think
they're so much better than everyone else because they believe in a book, or
they try to force their beliefs down your throat. Just because I don't believe
in God, doesn't mean I'm not good enough. Where in the Bible does it say that
people who don't believe in it are pieces of shit that isn't work jack all?
</rant>
P.S I love you James, just wish you'd realise that
I don't have to be religious to be good enough for you.

5/3/2007 Global Sunshine.Today was pretty good actually. Had an English
writing practice first, which I think went really well, but I guess I'll find
out my marks on Tuesday. Then chemistry we sat and ate chocolate, and laughed at
Mr J's beer belly. Biology we got back the prelim. 86%! Woo. Solid A
pleasekaythanks.
Maths we did the prelim, which I thought was easy,
but everyone else thought it was really hard. So I think I must have missed the
point or something. =/
It was such a lovely sunny day today, so I was at
Rachel's with Helyn and Debbie and Robert and we sat our in the sun, and Debbie
got sun burnt. Sun burnt in Scotland? Global warming -- Bring it
onnn!
Ummm so yeah I've spent hours this evening trying
to fix my damned internet. Calling Orange tomorrow to swear at
them.
This probably won't get sent 'til the internet is
fixed. Meh.
Sammi
5/1/2007 3Today was pretty pish. Computing I did a lot of
past paper-ing, which was pretty non-eventful. And then in chemistry we got back
those impossible additional questions papers, I got 31/33. How the bloody hell?
Why am I good at the hard stuff and shite at the easy stuff? Anyway, the dumb
chemistry department can't work a photocopier, so we ended up having to do two
more questions that had apparently been missed off in photocopying.
Maths, was boring. Fatarse was blabbing on shite
instead of letting us revise. And then in PSE we got a lecture about how
fantastic 6th year is going to be. Fuck offfff. I'm not wasting my year. I want
to actually do something. I somehow think think the responsibility of actually
having to live by yourself far outweighs what she's rattling on about "ooh being
a prefect" WTF? Get a life. I hate it when teachers make you feel like crap with
no valid reason. =[
English we had a prelim/practice exam thing on
close reading. It was hard. I don't know that I passed it.
And lastly, LOL at Rob's arse. Because he sat in
chewing gum, and then preceded to stick tissue to it, and then get up in the
middle of English. I almost wet myself. Sorrehhhh Rob but your butt cracks me
up. XD
