Exams @ MindSay

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...Sigh, where to begin.

So, this morning, all of year 11 were called into the sports hall.

(We couldn't go into the auditorium, because all the desks are set up for exams in there...)

So we went in, and we were given timetables.

We're actually allowed study leave now - but we HAVE to come in for revision sessions.

And looking at this, because I still have four exams left, I'm only going to have like three days of study leave.

One day is tomorrow, which I'm happy about.

After today, I don't want to do anything else for a long as possible period of time.

Periods 1 and 2, we had English revision for the exam on the afternoon.

I understand all the poems, so I filled out my sheets really fast, and played some hangman with Nazia.

All of my words were one after another, and they all seemed to spell a sentence:

"Hiya Nazia"

"Eat your yam"

"Change My Pants"

"Catawampus"

Yeah, I found it amusing. :)

Then I started picking dodgy words like ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARISM and PULCHRITUDE.

Then I wasn't sure if I'd actually spelt pulchritude right, so I asked madam - we were on a break, so it wasn't like we were meant to be doing anything.

She said I had spelt it right, because the page said: "P u l c _ r i _ u d e", so she knew what it was.

Then she asked me what it meant, and I didn't know. I knew the origin of it - Latin - but I didn't know the meaning.

So she brought out the consise dictionary and looked it up.

Pulchritude means outstanding beauty, apparently.

For the rest of the revision session, I got a piece of paper and wrote down all of my favourite words - most of them, very lengthly - then I looked through the dictionary, finding new ones.

I'll list them. I have my sheet next to me. :)

...I STILL FUCKING WANT TO!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah, Paths Of Possession.

I've been clearing out some of my downloads folder - and I'd downloaded their full Promises In Blood album. And I love all of it.

Though, it's very Satanic. Some of the songs make me laugh nervously, thinking to myself: "...They can't possibly get away with saying that..."

They're great - even better than Cannibal Corpse - which is to be expected, Paths Of Possession is made up with the same vocalist, I think.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OH MY WORD, THAT LITTLE WHORE!!!

I just won a battle game, then another 100 coins on the lottery scratchcard - silly cow Peach only goes and gets a fortune space, and swaps her THREE coins for my TWO-HUNDRED-AND-SIXTY-ONE.

MARIO PARTY 4 PISSES ME OFF SOMETIMES.

ARGGGGGHHH... I'VE GOT A MAGIC LAMP AND I CAN'T EVEN AFFORD THE FUCKING STAR!!!

PEACH, GO FUCKING DIE!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other news... *Breathes heavily*

...In other news, I had a 105 minute Geography GCSE exam today.

Paper 1, and it was PISS.

It was ALL about the National Parks, and all the questions had really obvious answers.

The inserts we got were funny - we got this photo of a bloke in black combat trousers standing on a hill overlooking a river with his hands on his hips.

Made me laugh. :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!

NOW DAISY GOT A FUCKING FORTUNE SPACE - AND PEACH AND YOSHI SWAPPED COINS!

NOW YOSHI HAS MY FUCKING COINS!!!

...Mwah! Yoshi landed on a battle square.

I might get enough for another star...

Yeehaw, last turn, magic lamp, 25 coins.

I don't care Peach, Yoshi - I'm gonna get the happening star and the mini-game star. Keep my fucking coins, I'm still going to win!

MWAAAAAAH!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sammie, Miraan and I were down the aisle after school.

I kept threatening to squirt them with my bottle of "exam water".

I can't complete an exam without a bottle of water on my desk.

It's one of few things we're actually allowed to take in with us, so I take advantage of that, and I do so.

I fill up my bottle with fresh water from the drinking fountain outside the exam hall before I do every exam.

We were having a laugh as usual, but today we were swapping letters around in people's names, making them sound weird. :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...LMFAO!

ALL THREE OF US WON THE COIN STAR!

Anyway, DK wins, with 5 stars and 10 coins, mwah ha ha. :)

Now I just have to beat Shy Guy at a game of Archaeologuess, and I get my present. :)

(Yes, I had to read that off the screen, there was NO WAY I could spell it. :D)

Wheeee, and I win. I get my present now. Onto another board!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the way home, I soaked Sammie and Miraan with a quick squirt of my water bottle.

Miraan got his revenge though, he grabbed it off me, tugged my collar - then tipped it all down my back.

So it went down my neck, down my shoulders, down my spine, and ended up absorbing into my underwear.

I was cold and wet and sad. :(

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I came home and had a quick game of iSketch with Miraan, Adam and some randomer who came in of his own accord.

Oh, and I ate 3 bags of crisps - Flamin' Hot Monster Munch, Cheese & Onion French Fries and Quavers. :)

Tomorrow, I have the English paper 2.

I'm not worried though, I was dreading paper 1 and the literature paper, and they were both piss.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love my new MindSay opening layout. :)

It's a lot more interesting than just having "Dixie currently feels:", isn't it?

(Of course, I copied this idea from Emily, but don't let her know that. :D)

Today's Sunday - and although Sunday means church to some and lie-ins to most - to me, it means Sunday dinner at Nana's. :)

Today it was beef, and it was stewed in the slow cooker to a sweet tender perfection. I ate it with two dollops (LOVE THAT WORD) of mashed taters, raw carrots, (squeaky) green beans and two Yorkshire puds.

- And I ate it all, and it was yum. :)

Nana, Grandad and I watched Keeping Up Apperances whilst we ate - then Grandad fell asleep, and I played some Pokémon Diamond and watched Last Of The Summer Wine, two episodes with Nana.

Then Grandad woke up and retreated to the spare room to play Solitaire on their laptop.

I ate two Cornettos and watched an episode of New Tricks on UKTV Drama.

- It's creepy, because I'd seen the episode before - the one with the serial dog killer and the poisoned beef tea - but, I'd been thinking about it last night.

Yeah, a premonition in disguise?

Dixie doesn't know.

Oh, that links nicely. :)

I came home and watched some episodes of YCDTOTV, then played some Guitar Hero III.

I watched the "Movies" episode, where all five of the show's cast members all got a sliming. Amusing indeed. :)

Speaking of sliming - the forum regulars are really taking advantage of this:

Heh, that was the night where Animalluver was asking me those really difficult questions in the 'Ask The Admin' topic. :)

I was much amused, but rather annoyed the fact all of the answers were just ridiculous.

Like, what's the most unpopular eye colour?

I said green - and the answer was PURPLE.

Yeah... Ridiculous. :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT THE FLIPPING FUCK?!

"WATCHED CATWOMAN" HAS COME UP AS A SUGGESTED TAG.

(Dixie totally wrecked the purpose by saying 'flipping' AND 'fuck' in the same sentence...)

I have a Maths exam tomorrow.

It's the 2nd half of the unit 4 GCSE - the caluclator paper.

I'm sort of shitting it, but I'm destined to get my B.

Maybe an A if I'm lucky - because my coursework is just mint, and so are my grades from the other units.

Try as I might, for four years, I just haven't understood trionometry.

I don't think I ever will - and because I'm not taking A-level Maths - that's a relief.
