Wow, I'm updating!
Nothing much is happening right now...let's see. I've a blood test Monday to figure out what's wrong with me, which ought to be fun. Hopefully the result won't be too serious.
Remember a few months back, I mentioned my science teacher for whom an a* isn't good enough? (To cut a longish story short for those who didn't read that entry, I'd got an a* (the highest GCSE grade) in our mock exams, but he came over to me and told me that I wasn't doing well enough and obviously wasn't trying hard.) Well, he pointed out today that it was our very last lesson together, so I figured I'd attempt to take the bull by the horns and point it out to him if it came up. So the lesson went by- he asked "will you miss me?", ack- and by the end of it I figured I'd lost my chance. But what he actually did was to go stand by the doorway and say goodbye to us all as we went out. So he said goodbye to me, and I said "um, goodbye" offhandedly. He stopped me and asked what that was about, and I basically told him what he'd done to my confidence.
So he said "well, why didn't you tell me earlier?", which prompted me to reply with something glib, and then he said goodbye again. Not one word of apology- not that I exactly expected it, but it would have been something. The whole time while we were talking, I had Amanda in the doorway and Emma, Ted, Katrina and India behind me, stopping me from running off and bursting into tears or something similarly stupid. They were wonderful, heh- they would say "awww" or make disapproving noises at exactly the right times. I think I would have freaked out if I'd been left with him alone, attempting to explain- he's 6'7, and even when he's attempting to look understanding (hah!) and all, that still doesn't change the fact he's staring down at me from a good foot and a half up.
I am so glad I never have to see him again.
My french and german orals went fine- I made the traditional stupid mistakes in each, but nothing major. In the french when she asked "were there many people with you?" I said "sure, there were ten or thirty". In German, I accidentally said I was still in England and had lost my ticket when I was meant to be in Germany. My teacher then said "oh, I'll come pick you up from there" which was kind, if a tad ambitious.
Today's one of those days where I remember how much I love NC. It's great how many creative ways people can come up with to defend their right to throw in the occasional "shit" and so on in their posts. I find it frankly amazing how the original poster thought that I should go and censor everyone on the forum- um, I'm 16, and I am no-one's parent (ack, can you imagine how bad I'd be as a parent?). Do your own parenting of sites. To insist a site be shut down and reported to TNT (who already know about the site) for a few choice "fuck"s is just laughable, and people are having great fun laughing at the person.
Quotes:
"Would you let your kids see someone posting the "fudge" word or any other sort?"
"P.S. Ziggy, next time you say "shut the fudge up", have some death sex to freddy"
"Fuckitty fuck fuck FUCK" (in huge red font)
"You've been a complete hypocrite, and a chatspeaker, saying "kthnxbye" twice in your message (making you sound like you really should not be allowed to speak to anyone, EVER)."
"Copulate, copulate, copulate, copulate... Oh, does that not have the same effect? I'm sorry."
""the f-word, Father - the bad f-word, worse than 'feck', you know the one I mean!" - Mrs. Doyle"
"In conclusion, LEAVE MY PINATA ALONE YOU SHUCKING BITCHES!!"
