New cat...?

We've got a new cat! Well, he's not tecnically ours, but we might be able to keep him. He belongs to one of Mum's tenant's, but the tenant (Matt) got arrested last night, so Mum took his cat home. If Matt doesn't come and get him, we can keep him! Yay!

I've basically spent the last to days on the computer; I haven't actually done much else. My mum's getting angry with me because I'm not 'spending time with the family'. Pfft. I have ages to do that...

Insomnia and Deprivation.

Argh. This last week has been so tiring, partly because I haven't been sleeping well. I've taken to drawing random shapes on everything I own because I haven't been allowed to go on the computer because my grandparents were here. They left yesterday. I'd say I was glad, but that would sound mean; I was glad to see them, but I was also glad to see them go, if you know what I mean. I haven't actually done anything productive this last week either, so my mind has sort of progressed to a stage of Jello..

I discovered a few days ago, after extensive weaseling, that the next book in the series I'm reading doesn't come out until MARCH NEXT YEAR!! As you can probably tell from the caps lock, this infuriates me. Luckily, the author is writing another series about the same world, and the first book comes out in August. That should keep me busy for the time being.

I'm completely incoherent at the moment, and this is probably a side-effect of the insomnia and the internet-deprivation. If you asked my mum, she'd probably tell you it was because of the lack of sleep, but I don't think so.

I exhausted my entire iTunes library last night while I was writing. I must have listened to every one of the 1224 songs on it, though I didn't notice until this morning, when I looked at the play-count xD.

I just had to go downstairs to look for my dog, who apparently 'ran away'. She's fine; she couldn't get in because my cat kept attacking her xD.

Opps..

Okay, I've finally gotten back into the swing of my internet life (Did that sound weird to you?). I've blogged, posted, commented, role-played, watched, favorited and just generally been awesome. I've basically spent the last four hours on here, because it's SO hot outside. I was at my friend Erin's house earlier, and we went swimming, which was great. now I have the biggest headache in the history of big headaches...

Tomorrow is Father's Day, and I haven't got him anything. It's 6:05pm...Opps...I think I'll have to get him something tomorrow, or he can choose, and I'll buy...I haven't had ANY time for buying gifts lately..

Summer from now on

Well, my school year is finally over, and I'm now on summer vacation! I get 8 weeks of doing nothing ;D. I might end up going to writing camp, but I still don't know. I'm defiantly going back to England at the end of August, which will be excellent. I think we're visiting friends in Kent, and then going back up to where we used to live to visit MORE friends! I'm really excited now.

I have recently discovered the fact that my sister reads my diary, which I'm not all together comfortable with, so i bought a new one, hid it and kept the old one lying around, filled with random information. I think this is a suitable compromise. :)

This morning, I finished reading my book, so today we're going to Halifax to go shopping so I can buy a new one, and Rosie can buy some shoes, because she got invited to a prom-thing at her boyfriend's school and, of course, she needed all new clothes to be able to go. Ugh. He's buying her a rose to go with her outfit. How old-fashioned. I would never admit to her that I'm jealous, but I think she's under the impression that I am.

My last exam was a science exam, and I am sure I failed it, though I'd never tell my Mum that. On Saturday, we had to go to Graduation which lasted three hours...I got a scholarship though, for winning the speech competition and for being a 'valuable contributer to the debating society'. ;)

Exams are really not good for the health.

Today, I wrote my French exam, and I think it went as well as could have been hoped. I got stuck on only two questions, but I managed to work them out eventually. I got out of the exam after one and a half hours of torturous work, and then celebrated by buying a new book. I haven't started it yet, but I'm sure it will be good. It's called The Luxe, and my friend recommended it to me.

Yesterday and the day before, I watched The Young Victoria. I may watch it again tonight, because we rented it, and it has to go back tomorrow (I think..). Anyway, I'm in love with it. I've always loved period books. It also fascinates me; I've never really thought too much about Victoria's young life. Also, I think Rupert Friend is gorgeous.

Tomorrow, I have to write an English exam that I'm pretty confident about. My teacher makes the easiest exams in the history of exams. The only thing I'm dreading is having to have to write one, possibly two essays, which should take me a good half an hour. I also have to know the complete content from 'Romeo and Juliet', which sounds hard, but isn't really. The other thing I have to do is memorize a passage from the book and then write it in the exam, explaining it. I've chosen the Prince's last speech; it's the last piece of dialog in the whole play. The only reason I know it is because I had to read it in class earlier this year, and I thought it easier to read something that I already knew, rather than going into the trouble of learning something completely from scratch.

Exactly 10 minutes..

Until I have to go to school. Actually, my carpool will probably turn up any minute now...This is my last day in grade 8! I cannot get that into my thick skull xD.

I sprained my hand! It hurt; a lot. I know you're probably thinking 'How is she typing with a sprained hand?'. It's called 'one-handed', people! xD I have some skill.

Tonight is my I-Really-Have-To-Study-Hard-Or-I'll-Fail night. Like the name? ;) I am now actaully freaking out because I think I'm going to fail. I'm also really stressed, because I still haven't finished sorting through all my notes...I can't wait for this to all be over..

I have to go to school now! If I have time tonight, I'll post ;)

Toodles!

Long time, no blog..

Merlin's beard! I haven't blogged in ages! I cannot believe it's the second of June already..My exams start next week, which is the main reason I haven't been online for a while. My mum is convinced I'm going to fail everything, which isn't exactly helping my nerves...

Tomorrow is my last day in grade 8...This year went so fast...Grade nine next year. Yikes!

I'm actually not supposed to be on right now, so I'd better get off before I get into even deeper trouble...
