So I don't know what to do.
I talked to the head of Sociology, and he said that yes, I can stay on an extra year at school and do a whole A-Level in that one year.
So do you think I should?
I mean it would get me into a better uni, the one I initially wanted to go to (coincidently the one he went to, haha). But it's another year, OK that's not very long, but still everyone will be going off and I'll be left on my own... Haha OK it seems like an obvious choice I guess I just want to hear what you guys think I should do..
Oh, this year I will (hopefully!) get BBD, if I was to stay on and do the A-Level I'd have BBBD, and to get into Keele you need BBB (or 300 UCAS points)
:)

So sorry I've not updated much and not commented much at all. And I know I start every post with that but still...

Anyway, for some reason I've signed up for National Novel Writing Month... I'm blaming [info]ioanite! Even though I've never written anything is my entire life. I mean I've thought about it but I've thought about doing a lot of things, haha ;) So yeah, I don't hold high hopes of it being a success...

I'm super excited for Christmas! I love Christmas! How long now?..
Ohhh, no need to work it out I have a countdown! (Obviously it's set to GMT)
So yeah 1331 hours till Christmas! Haha ;P

OMG I totally forgot to mention this (I think), but guess who has KELLY CLARKSON TICKETS?!
That's right. It's me! February 17th (pretty sure it's 17th) in Sheffield (pretty sure it's Sheffield, could be Manchester)!

And I saw Michael McIntyre! Soo funny! I have such a crush on him. I have a crush on a lot of comedians, I guess I just like funny guys... And I also saw Jason Manford, who not a lot of people seem to have heard of! Hello! Do you not watch Live At The Apollo or 8 Out Of Ten Cats?!
And they both have DVD's coming out soon so totally buy them both!

And I'm slowly working on getting my music re-downloaded since I lost it when my hard drive broke. Given up on the pictures, I've lost them for good :(

Anywhoo... A little meme :) )

Also, the stranges thing has happened! I've (somehow!) developed a massive crush on Ralph Fiennes?! Incredibly weird...

Oh, and Happy Halloween! I don't really do anything but I know a lot of people do :)

Today when I tried syncing music to my iPod from iTunes it just crashed while syncing it. I tried with 4 albums and the same thing happened every time! I had to disconnect my iPod (by just pulling it out from my computer) then iTunes worked perfectly and worked again when I tried to sync more music!
After plugging my iPod back in the music seems to be there and plays correctly, and it also play when my iPod isn't plugged in. But I'm not sure if the fact that they've (maybe) not been snyced may cause any problem (to be honest I'm not really sure what syncing does..).
Sorry I'm not very goot at explaining things..

So that presentation I was talking about; didn't happen! We ran out of time. I was obviously relieved but kinda pissed as I'd been worrying about it then I'd psyched myself up for it, and I'd also researcehd it and everything... Oh well..

Yeah tonight was parents evening. All teachers just said the same 'pleasure to teach', 'quiet but can tell she understands', 'understanding the work', 'believe she can reach her target', and so on...
But my psychology teacher asked me what grades I was going to get and what uni I was wanting to go to. I said BBD and he asked what the D was in, I said maths, he said that maths was a hard subject...
You know what, I wish I never took maths! Although I do like it and to be honest it is my favourite suject. And while I'm not struggeling in it, I do understand it, there is no way I can get abouve a D in that.
My psychology teacher said if I had taken siciology I would also get a B in that. And he said they do a module of criminology, which is what I want to do!
So my mum suggested I take a gap year and do sociology A-Level in one year at the collage. I really don't want to go to the collage cause it's just shit. So just no. But then she said maybe the school would let me stay behind (which they do if you want to) and do both AS and A2 sociology in one year. Now I'm not sure if they would allow me, but I think I'm going to ask tomorrow, I mean I did it at GCSE and if I do stay behind that's all I would be doing.
Now I really don't mind staying behind an extra year to get an extra A-Level! And if I do get a B in that I'd have BBBD (assuming this year I get BBD), and then I could go to Keele! Which is where I really really want to go but they ask for BBB.
So yeah I think I'll ask my psychology teacher tomorrow if that's at all possible...

So I've written what I'm going to say in my Counterculture presentation.
I think we're supposed to do it like a propper presentation, you know like a powerpoint, but the other two who I'm working with, I don't think they know that or something cause they just told me to write a page just to read out. That's even worse! Cause like instead of me just reading from the board and people looking at that, they're now going to be looking at me and my hand shaking holdong the piece of paper...
Ergh! And I'm not even sure if I've included the right things but whatever, it's not too long so I'm not going to add anything!
So yeah literally dreading that tomorrow! :(
Thanks to everyone who commented on my previous post about it! ♥

Ergh I have to tell about my friend in maths. She's the one who got Us in all her AS's... So yeah but she's still doing A2's and just resitting AS at the same time. But she knows nothing about maths!
Everything we do I have to explain to her! I seriously don't think she's actually answered a question one her own! So she like copies my answers then asks me to explain it to her when she doesn't understand!
And even worse, she still doesn't understande things when the teacher is going over it on the board! She asks me like 'How did he do that?' and I'm like because of the rule you wrote down 5 minutes ago!! And then she says that she doesn't read them as she's writing them?! WTF? And then even when she does read them she doesn't understand them and I still have to explain things to her!
Like it's so hard when I'm trying to just get on with it myself and answer as many questions I can in the lesson, but she's sat next to me sighing and saying she doesn't understand. And she copies my homework! And then (of corse) asks me to explain that to her! I really dislike her copying my homework, because to be honest, and I know this sounds bad but whatever, I'd like the teacher to know that she's struggling. I don't know why, just because I don't like that fact that she doesn't do anything but the teacher still thinks she's doing as good as me. And I know it'll just catch up with her in the exam but it's still really annoying!
And then she complains in the library that she has so much to do and whatever, but she doesn't do anything! I'm like 'Stop complaining and do something then!'. Ergh it's so annoying!

So my English teacher says we have to give a presentation. I'm working in a group of three and my part of the presentation has to be on '1960's Counterculture'. I don't even know what that is! And I deffinately don't want to stand up and talk about it!
And there's four groups of three, and everyone's doing the same three things so will they not just all be the same?! Totally stupid and pointless and I'm shit scared about doing it.

Bull Stabbed to Death in Spanish 'Festival'

Image: IWAB | CC 

The Toro de la Vega "festival" takes place every September in the province of Tordesillas, Spain. The event entails chasing a young bull through the streets of Castilla y León and stabbing him with darts and spears until he is bleeding and crippled. His testicles are cut off while he is still alive. If he doesn't die of his injuries, the person who ultimately kills him is awarded a ceremonial spear and a medal by the City Council.

Instead of celebrating the town's culture, this event shows a callous disregard for animals. It is unacceptable to harass, torment and kill animals in the name of culture or tradition, and such senseless spectacles have no place in civilised society.

Help Stop the Sadistic 'Fire Bull' Festival in Soria

ADN | CC

In Medinaceli, a picturesque town in the province of Soria, Spain, a "tradition" called "Toro Júbilo" brings shame on Spain. On the second weekend in November, balls of pitch (a sticky black substance made from tar or turpentine) will once again be stuck onto the horns of a bull and set on fire. The burning bull is called "Toro de Fuego" (literally "bull on fire").

The bull is then released onto the streets and can do nothing but run around in pain. The bull often smashes into walls in an attempt to douse the fire. The agony the bull must suffer is unimaginable. These fiery balls can burn for hours, and they burn the bull's horns, body and eyes and cause tremendous stress – all while spectators cheer and run around the victim.

Long time since I've updated. Not since I've been back at school, which actually was a week ago but it feels like longer :(

So when I got to school on the first day back I found Firyal, she asked me what I got for my results, she said well done when I told her. She was, I don't know if you remember, in the same situation as me, being that she thought she was going to do really shit in her exams. She thought she'd fail maths and chemistry, but she never really mentioned biology and French, so I assume she was feeling she'd do alright. But anyway, when I asked her what she got she said she didn't do so well I was like "Aww I'm sorry. But you can't have failed everything", but she did! Can you believe she got 4 Us!! OMG haha, well it's not funny...
But anyway the French and maths department have let her keep doing A2 while resitting all the AS exams, but she's resitting AS biology. So she's in my maths which is cool :)

But, ergh, I hate my English class! I hate the teacher, the people in the class, the rooms we're in and the books we're studying! I hate it hate it hate it so much! The class; I don't know anyone! Well I kow them, but I'm not friends with them. And there's this one girl, who was in my form in years 7-9, but I've not seen her since. She's a total bitch she was so mean to me and my friends when we were in the same class. And the fact that she's in that class just makes me so uncomfortable, I just hate it. I just don't dare talk in class.
Ergh and the books we're reading; Death of a Salesman, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest (read it), Dutchess of Malfi (never heard of it...) and the poets we'll be studying are Donne and Webster.
I just want to be in my old English class again, haha. Where I liked the class and the teachers and the books we studied (I didn't love them or anything but they were OK I guess). Ohhh..

So my maths class is OK, but everyone is so smart! And they just get on with their work! WTF?! Haha. I liked my old class where we did our work while all joking and everything. Oh it was so fun. But I do like my new class and the teachers are OK so I guess it's not too bad.

My psychology class is good :) I don't really know some of the people but I sit next to this boy Liam who I'm kinda friends with. And I like the teachers a lot so it's cool :)

Before you met me i was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
Before you knew me i traveled 'round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love
Because i was taught to dream

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture tinkerbell
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But i could always tell

I believe in fairytales and dreamers dreams like bed sheet sails
And i believe in peter pan and miracles
And anything i can to get by
And fireflies
