The word for a job is the same as the word for a journey that's a bit manic. I also hate my careers class; the teacher barely knows me, but pretends we're BFFs only to be condescending if anyone starts talking about doing something they like for a living.
I don't know what I want to do when I grow up. I'd like to do medicine, or law, or youth work, ( Read more... )

School started back today. Unfortunately I may have a chest infection, and as such, was slightly ded for the majority of the day. It was good though, I'm doing Biology, Chemistry, English Lit and ICT for AS Levels; I got 1 B, 6 As and 3 A*s at GCSE. I'm also doing Young Enterprise, and hoping to apply for the Charity Committee and firstie peer ( Read more... )

I'm listening to a song at the moment that makes it all sunny, for some reason. It's nice, because it's currently bucketing it down outside. It was lovely for a few days there. Oh well. I'm in the middle of my GCSEs, on study leave at the moment. In between re-reading 'Our Town' and 'Animal Farm' for the 3590th time (English Lit), I'm writing ( Read more... )

I just...discovered something funny today. I write fanfic. I'm not ashamed of it, and I write often, even in school (but I keep it to the PG stuff in school). My best friend has been very iffy about that. "But...why?" So I educated her. Merlin, Doctor Who...then I realised I wasn't getting through to her. So I switched to Stargate Atlantis, Harry ( Read more... )

Although it is Autumn nao, and we're studying gothic horror in English. I wish I knew more people with good taste in books. The teenage reading group at my local library is strictly Y.A. novels...The odd thing is, I've always been discouraged from reading classic lit. George Orwell, JD Salinger, Stephen Chbosky...too scary apparently! I'm expected ( Read more... )

Yargh. Well, I'm not dead, just sleepy. Two weeks...I performed in a musical in the Civic Centre for a week. School hasn't been fantastic, but with small joys in my science classes (I adore physics!) and the English language, it's been bearable ( Read more... )

I have to admit I LOL'd at this, but it's a little bit alarming.
No atheist burials in Co DonegalAh, "...she can go in with the Protestants." Lovely ( Read more... )

We have a lot of carrots. I like them, but boiling them as a side dish gets a bit boring. It's eight o'clock in the evening, House starts at 9. I could, conceivably, get a recipe, make it and have it in the oven during House...I'll have a look, I rly rly want muffins for some reason. Or a loaf. Carrot cake...nom nom nom ( Read more... )

So yeah...I've now got a bike, a Raleigh TC10 hybrid. It's pretty ossum, I didn't know how to ride a bike on Saturday afternoon but I kept at it and somehow, I've learnt the basics now...*shame* Still, better late than never, right? Just been circling round the garden for the past wee while, going to take it up to the park on the weekend hopefully ( Read more... )
