| Crawling back Hi. I haven't done this in a while, not quite sure why. I've wanted to post more than once this week however it never felt right, I don't like posting if I'm not in a particular mood. Whether it be pensive or excited, I know the 'mood' when I feel it and boy, have I missed you Xanga. For those of you who have seen any of my posts before, you may notice that I have changed my layout -- for those who know me IRL or have been reading from before I compulsively deleted my posts... you will know that I change my layouts far too often. In my defense, I had the last one for quite some time, but minimalist only goes so far, and this layout inspires me to post. It's very autumn-y, with the wood and the floral print. It's a shame it's winter now. Well, it's a blessing in disguise. I love winter for all it's worth, it always feels cosy regardless of how fingertip-numbingly cold it is outside. Doesn't really make a difference to me, my hands always seem to be cold anyway. ^^" Ben says it's because I have poor circulation, pfft. (He's probably right -_-) Right now, it's 20:16PM and I should be doing my French and English essays. For obvious reasons, the English essay has triple the word limit of the French essay, but that's understandable. They're both due in on Monday though, as far as I know. I also have a double-sided Chemistry sheet to complete and a Latin vocab test to revise for, but I never revise for them until the day, (unless I have a lot of free time.) I have a free period before the test on Monday so all should be well. It's funny, though, I always seem to come crawling back to Xanga when I have some sort of important duty to tend to, in this case homework, which is pretty pathetic really. Funny, "hmm... that's funny", not "funny haha". I do admit though, it's nice to let my thoughts out like this again. Have a nice day.

| Chemistry Evening. I'm feeling a little uninspired right now, I'm procrastinating and not doing my chemistry homework. I'm stuck on a question about beryllium's ionisation energies; we started the topic on ionisation energy on Friday, and half of the sheet we were given for homework is totally new material. I feel stupid for not understanding it after looking all over the internet, and the textbook we've been given hasn't helped at all. So, I'm feeling uninspired, like I said. If I leave this for much longer I won't get enough sleep, and subsequently wont be able to, or want to, get up in the morning. Don't get me wrong though, I don't want to get up most mornings, but still. Not sure what to do. Well, I say I'm not sure, but you should assume that I will try at least three more times at the rest of this worksheet before I go to bed. No promises, but it's a fairly likely outcome. EDIT: So, it was the favourable outcome and I have two questions left: the last question and the aforementioned beryllium question.  EDIT2: Finished, good night! | | |

Coming to the end of the third week of term Good evening . It's been a while since I posted last; but I wanted to let myself get accustomed to sixth form life and whatnot before I updated. That, and the fact that my school has now added xanga to their firewall & blocked sites; which really sucks considering I used to update a lot and it was awesome. (That's probably why it was blocked. I say that, but they've also blocked grooveshark. Why don't you just throw a rock at my face and laugh? They are also blocking charitable and religious sites, eg a Hospice that I recently volunteered at, blocked.) Apart from this minor hitch, school so far has been absolutely amazing. I'm sort of getting used to having studyfree periods, though it hasn't felt like I have had very many yet. (This is probably because I usually waste half of them doing nothing, and not actually working.. and stuff. My bad.) Right now, at school, I finally feel like everything is going my way, corny as it sounds. I'm studying my four favourite subjects, finally got a direct ticket into stage crew, in the classical society, and just generally loving every day of it. Not to mention Ben ♥  EDIT: Well, I've just finished my 500almost a thousand word essay. (If you didn't get the subtle reference to 500, that was the ideal word count. *blunt*). So, I'm off to bed. Tomorrow, I'll make some icons if I'm not too tired, I've been neglecting @floralcloud ; I have a choice to make. (Regarding school, and time management. Cry.) EDIT 2: I need to do my October targets within the next week.  Wish me luck! | | |
| Revision? This is what I actually did all summer. ↓ 
A Summer Away from Blogging... As Such Xanga, hello. I could say that I haven't seen you in a while, but I would be lying. I haven't seen you, dear reader, in a while because I have been otherwise occupied. Firstly, I opened an icon site a few weeks ago, as it's always been a dream of mine to make icons that people actually like. I use the term 'dream' loosely. So I did, and I owned it. If you're interested, it's a little site called floralcloud - I haven't been too active since because I went on my DofE expedition in Wales, (but that's a whole other anecdote). Not only that but I've started school again! Ah. The smell of new textbooks will never cease to amaze my senses. Not. sidenote - 1a) In all seriousness, the feedback I got from my icon site was insane, who knew. b) I do love school, it's silly how excited I get about it. Who can blame me, I'm a sixth former now! Indeed. Well, as far as it goes - it's absolutely amazing. Sure, the stress will soon kick in but for now I'm really enjoying it. I honestly have nothing else to do in this post but ramble, how'ver. (As you may have spotted). ((I actually had a lot more to say, but as I'm continuing this after writing the majority of it yesterday, I've forgotten a lot of it OTL)) Just saying hi. It feels good to be back. | | |

So I chose simplicity again, regarding the appearance of my page. I got pretty bored of all the colour, sorry. "The ladybug has finally perished on my carpet finding herself unable to get back out the window ... I grieve and lament this as she was so much more a companion than anybody else during days of loneliness." Hello again. It's a Monday, so I'm not exactly in the mood to do much... and yes, I do know that the fact that it's a Monday does not give me the right to excuse my laziness, but just go with it. I'm in a sort of flat mood; where I'm not exactly happy, and not exactly sad at the same time. I say 'happy' and 'sad' in order to avoid complexity of the manner of my "flat" mood. I'm in a 'wordy' mood, you could say. The truth is, I'm really only writing this post to pass time. I'm about to restart my essay on Pride and Prejudice, and I want to get myself into a state where I can write with confidence. Also, I haven't posted in a little while, not properly anyway. Officially, a week has gone since the holidays started. Unofficially, I've been on holiday since late June (early finish because of exams). Fun times, but I'm so so sosososo bored. I've come to adore Pride and Prejudice (2005), and have watched it thrice now. I'm also planning to buy the DVD, purely for the romantic ending that was cut from the TV aired edition. I've already got the soundtrack on my iPod, I'm not that kind of person usually, but the film captured me in a way I can't explain, but can only blame on my being a hopeless romantic; emphasis on the 'hopeless'. I'm probably going to be seeing HP7.5 twice this week, so I'm looking forward to that. My holiday thus far has been incredibly boring, and I've only been doing lots of DIY stuff around the house. I need to tidy my room, again, because after tidying it, it has become really messy all over again since I got the shelf-esque product for my desk, and have a new wardrobe, but am also housing lots of my sister's junk. Her room is tidy because of that fact, ¬_¬ 
One of these (Above). The picture below is just to aid you in visualising the size of it in cohesion to the things in it. I have a big desk, and this finishes it off nicely. ^_^ 
That's all for now, then I guess - have a nice day. | | |
