This week was a good week. Minus the horrible sickness and insomnia I’ve been feeling towards the end of the week. D:
On the plus side; I was informed that I did in fact write at A grade standard on my Philosophy papers…so I was given the wrong mark. I’m not really fussed if they give me another B on my remark, to be honest. Just knowing that I’m not a failure is good enough.
And I just finished a huge several-week-long task about three minutes ago, when I placed my £50 order for 500 business cards. I’m really surprised at how cheap they turned out – especially since I upped the features to double-sided glossy colour, foil and 3 day delivery. Some time next week, I should be sliding them into the little black envelopes that came today.
As it goes, though, I preferred the blue colouring on the cards to the red. I asked a few people, and apparently the red was a bit harsh…which has made me think a little about the site design. I never did manage to incorporate blue into it. Well, I’m about to correct that with some portraiture. I’m off to paint a colour portrait for the main page. I’m not sure how, or what theme I’m going for…but, I figured I should do something, since my current enter page is just a rush job that I made so I could put everything else in motion.
S’s month in 60 seconds:
Results were awful. I have more Bs in Philosophy, a C in Biology and a D in C.T! I’m correcting the latter two. The Biology exam paper was a JOKE.
Designing my business cards right now. I’ll keep you posted on that.
…I only just found out I have 2 weeks off. Since when?
I picked my uni course. I’m going with just Foundation Physics/Physics and Astrophysics…because iScience seems awesome…but I don’t want to try and take up a valuable 1/15 place that someone might really want, when I’d be fine doing Foundation physics. It’d be great…but…as I said, I’m not bothered much either way. So, I’d rather let the place go to someone else. (That is, if they even want me.)
Isit2014yet? I really want to do philosophy at degree level. :B I need to stop looking ahead.
Oh, and…I guess I should look into teaching degrees sometime in the next few years. I’ll be needing one of those.
…that was way over 60 seconds.

Rawr. Who the hell are these people, signing up here?
I have a huge list of people I don’t know. Most of which have accounts all over the place. It’s only a matter of time before a spam volcano erupts and clutters every blog post with adverts for obscure chinese inventions.
9 Days til midnight! Midnight being Results day…and 9 minutes being 9 days. I can see two possible scenarios to it. One, I get my results in the morning, mope for an hour in Philosophy; then hold back the tears as I sit outside M31 (M32? Who knows.) Or, two, I’ll be running around telling everyone, and being all ‘KJDJ2340049034939IHAVEAN’A'NOW’. I hope it’s the latter. Another B in Philosophy would kill me.
While I wait for that, I need to finish start my English coursework draft, due in on Friday, revise for tomorrow’s Biology mock exam…and do a billion and one more tasks that have been piling up over the last month. On the plus side…The novel is doing well. Or…it was, until the stress of this workload gave me writer’s block. D:
24hoursuntilLost!
Dude. I haven’t posted on here in AGES. Right?
Sorry about that. I’ve been caught up in a lot of things – revision, exams, university stuff. …Ebay.
And Lost. Can’t forget Lost. I’m already wishing away my week off, just to get Episode 4. Srsly. Flashsideways is a terrible idea, if they do what I think they’re going to do and pull a “And the alternate reality becomes reality” bit…which let’s face it, if they’re running with that ending, they might as well make Jack wake up and call it a dream. (Dallas, anyone?)
That aside, I’m eager to find out what happens in the next episode. I’m grateful that they juxtaposed a Locke episode after a torturous hour with Kate, though. God, I hate her character.
Anyhow. Not a lot going on at the moment. More revision to do…a biology EMPA to think about; and J.S. Mill’s “On Liberty” to read over. Knowing me, I’ll procrastinate and pick up where I left off with Sartre.
Or the less productive (for education purposes) plan. The novel.
Oh sure, I’ve done about 50 different drafts now…and none of them are quite what I’m looking for…but at least I learn an awful lot with every draft. I can now honestly say that I have my main character’s personality perfected – to the point where, if I were a 36-year old Cuban man, I might be able to pull off a convincing Rico and seriously creep people out at my overly vague nature. As for the plot…that’s under the knife at the moment. I’m trying out a few things, and it’s going quite well. Once I realised that sky pirates weren’t really compatable with a terraformed world of bizarre ordeals, I think things started to work a little better.
In the spirit of talking about writing…I’m going to go and do just that. <3 Adios.
