In Natural Sciences class this past week I paired up with another girl to make a poster about the brain, based on the two pages about it in our book. We worked well together and the poster turned out pretty nice, but she didn't take me seriously when I suggested that we draw a little zombie in one corner reaching out for the images of, well, ( Read more... )

Today I had managed to finally organise everyone involved to go to Eslöv and shoot the last couple of scenes that are needed to finish the film we've been doing in drama class. Then one of the three people involved called this morning and said she was really ill and couldn't come. So the whole thing had to be cancelled and now won't be done, unless ( Read more... )

I got a text from my maths teacher this morning, saying that a)she'd removed the highly offending question no. 10 from the exam, and b) I had scored 21.5 points out of 23. Question no. 10 was highly offending because no matter how I thought about it, I couldn't see a way to solve it. The fact that it has now been excised from the exam could ( Read more... )

We're filming the play I wrote based on Dealing with Dragons. It's very stressful and nobody had thought to make sure all the props were done, so I had to spend a lot of extra last-minute time to make sure the most important stuff (the dragon masks) were finished. It's sort of fun -- or it would have been if we hadn't been so pressed for time and ( Read more... )

I had a wonderful weekend with bracke and nazgman (who treated me to the party fee as a birthday present!) and the Seamstress. The weather was wonderful and it was such a giddy feeling to stand dressed as a 18th century pirate with lots of other 17th and 18th century pirates in the warm early evening sun, on the deck of the East Indiaman Götheborg! There was ( Read more... )

On Wednesday I got back my maths exam on chapter 2 and found out that my teacher had forgotten to hand out the last two questions (which were on a separate sheet of paper), but luckily it didn't matter for me -- I had a good enough result on the ones I'd been given and solved that I would still pass. But then I tried to solve the two extra problems ( Read more... )

Today there were no classes at school, just some entertainment in the morning, so I went to light therapy instead. Tomorrow there will only be a volleyball tournament, so I will definitely not go in then, either. So to all intents and purposes, my Yule holidays have now started. I celebrated by digging out the last of my sugar, and made cream ( Read more... )

Yep, it's a good and proper head cold. I've stayed home all day today, but it hasn't really improved, rather the reverse. I think I'll stay home tomorrow as well, but I have to go to a big shop tomorrow to get more cat food ingredients, because I'm running out of cat food. I've been trying to wean her back on her old kibble, but it's not working ( Read more... )

I've finished the balcony net screen thing! Too late in the evening to take pictures, though. I'll take some tomorrow, when it's in place. My neighbours lent me their machine drill, so I screwed on all the metal bits this morning before I went to school, and gave it the final lick of paint. This evening it was dry enough for me to start stapling ( Read more... )

Yesterday I got up really early (well, compared to my usual schedule) in order to go to school for extra rehearsals for the play our drama class is doing ( Read more... )
