Losing track

[raven]

I'm losing track of just about everything. And because it's been a week since I was on this computer last, I've also lost the ability to type on it. It feels all weird 'n' icky. Um...

I wish I'd had net access yesterday - actually, I wish I'd had net access since Friday, because I have this odd need to keep a journal. I don't know why. Ever since I arrived on Livejournal I've had the added benefit of inflicting my journal on other people, which is also good. But yes - yesterday. I have a new schoolbag, a Pucca one for which I blame flickgc, whom I went to Camden with yesterday. I really can't believe that was yesterday - the only concrete reminder of it is the bag. I fell asleep on the train, and woke up hungry, but I missed most of the journey and am therefore having a hard time orientating myself.

School was utterly exhausting. As _detroit was kind enough to remind me, I had a To Kill a Mockingbird timed essay to write, for which I had not revised, and I wrote three sides of utter crap and my pen ran out three times. This was followed by a history test, for which I had kind of sort of revised, and that gave me writers' cramp. Didn't have any breaks today, because of tests and revision and suchlike, and also Drama - still haven't finished Billy Liar, and I begin to think we never will. This Drama GCSE was never a good idea and it seems to be even less of a good idea now, as I didn't do the make-up evaluation and to be perfectly honest I don't believe I ever will.

Several things have come to light - mainly the fact we're going to Alton Towers in a fortnight and I have exactly nine school days left. I have my oral in a week, and I know nothing. I can't speak French. There's also the tonnes of maths past papers which I haven't touched, and I don't know why. They're panic-inducing because each one is a two-hour paper, and there's three of them.

This is the point where I panic.

And just to add spice to the endless variety that is my life - Becca's Pissed Off. The awards' night is tomorrow night, and Katrina can't come ("Your mother won't let you?!"), Meg can't come ("You prefer four-legged things to people!"), Yusra can't come ("What the hell do you mean, it's too short notice!"), I can't come ("A Divali party in May?!") and Lucinda can't come ("I don't wanna hear it...").
Thus far, it's Bev who's going, and possibly Emma. And so Becca is annoyed. I don't think I blame her, as she did tell everyone weeks in advance, but is a little bit amusing.

I might go for a couple of hours, actually. I have yet to decide.

And lastly - the school have blocked livejournal.com. By virtue of my paid account, I can access my own journal and friends page, but no .bml pages. Irritating in the extreme, especially as everyone on my friends list talks a lot.

And one more thing - really, the last thing - I've lost another set of badges. I bought some yesterday, and I've still got those, as far as I know, but I've lost the ones for disc0nnect. Sigh. I am hopeless. Judging by this entire entry, I am completely hopeless.

That reminds me -- my sister gets yet another school trip that we missed out on. The battlefields trip, the holocaust trip, and now the alton towers physics trip -- the year above us got it and the year below us gets them all. Conveniently they missed out our year. Surely it's not just me who sees this as unfair?

I was going to start revising tonight. I see that went well... I'm going to fail -- I only printed out my presentation yesterday! Do you have to do one? If so, what is it about?

There's also the tonnes of maths past papers which I haven't touched, and I don't know why. They're panic-inducing because each one is a two-hour paper, and there's three of them.

I've done about 10 of them... Miss Bromwell (you remember her! :P) collects them in to mark them so you can't escape doing them... they're easier than French though. I'm living in denial -- no, my French oral is *not* in six days, it's *NOT*! {Sob}

I do have to do a presentation, yes. Mine is on India. I've sort of kind of done the maths papers - I get given them, and am made to hand them in, but I also tend to skive when they're due. Therefore, huge pile of them on desk. My oral is in seven days and I'm freaked. Really, really, really scared.

Hey! Welcome back, n'all. I think I saw you in lunch today, but I didn't get to speak to you. Hope you had fun in London.
