How could I forget.
I found the best word yesterday
Spermatazoon!
History was a minefield of funnyness also it was freeday friday, YAY!
we all ate brownies (as made by me :) and James helped too) and coloured in posters.
“Pah! Pah, pah pah pah PAH!”
“Kat, are you defending yourself against the accusation of insanity with ‘Pah’?”
“He’s more gay than a field of pink tents full of men in leather thongs, walking around and proclaiming ‘I’m the only gay in the village’!”
Oh good times!

I think, if there is One thing our year will leave behind as our legacy - it will be Cake. It has now not just become a treat, its become the currency to bribe your teachers with, along the lines of If I bring in cake, do we have to do that essay?. Also, its become something for a class to bond over - Tiffin (or fridge cake…or ’sweaty moist’ cake) recipes and brownie secrets are swapped across the room which seems to take on an atmosphere like that of a WI meeting. Although our sixth form always does ‘Free-Cake-Friday’ at the end of every term (yes, genius! Free cakes for all), I think its defiantly our year that has truly taken on the Cake Legend; they even stand outside biology class rooms to eat it. There are rumors that some classes bring in drink to accompany it. ITS MADNESS I TELL YOU!
But tasty madness.

Where would I weigh the least then?
The moon?
Ah true - I guess moon rock is fairly low in calories. And soup is too.
Soup?
From the Soup Dragon!
Lotsa Crazy Love

Today was the joke that is General Studies! Yes, my class had a teacher who, fo all his talking, the only thing I really noticed was what a little head he had and what shiny shiny shoes he had! I could see my face in them!
Anyway, the unit right now is ’space’ but it all went down hill right from the start when he asked us to do a graph and then followed that up with the statement
And as you can see they have, inaccurately, referred to it as a ‘bar chart’ when clearly they are asking for a bar graph. But because it is General Studies we must forgive them. Also could you please note the incorrectly placed labeling of the sources as a foot note as opposed to the correct… I don’t remember how they should have correctly done it because I was too busy dying a little inside to listen.
Once we’d all stared at him with contempt, and finally picked up pen or pencil and sullenly scribbled something that might look vaguely bar graph like. He asked us to examine said graphs and tell him Why there might be less Vans on the road
Sam: Better mail.
Teacher …sorry?
Sam:*Vague and slightly insane smile* Yup…
He quickly changed the subject when he realised we were all laughing so hard Gemma was actually crying.
Of course Luke had to push his luck and shout something about someone sucking cock. Or something of equal intellect and interest. We then got a talking to
All off you SHUT UP and ask yourself 3 questions - where are you!? Who are you? And why are you doing this
So I did so in my head - 1) room SF12 2) Kat 3) I am forced too by the school because they get paid a lot of money.
I then realised he was telling us the answers and also threatening us with having our sign-out privileges in year 13 removed. Silly man! Just because my form might have decided not to do the most recent general studies exam because we might have not have a teacher and so actually couldn’t be bothered and apparently have given ourselves a reputation as being the worst form to have for general studies. That doesn’t mean he can go and get all…‘Luigi’ on us.
(He just so happens to look like a certain Nintendo games character, but I cant say which - the school might kick me out of sixth form. Ridiculous I know but last year a boy nearly did because he just wrote teachers REAL names on his blog.)
And some teachers wonder why every students hates general studies with a fiery passion.

At around break-time there was an audible scream of desperation and frustration from pretty much every biology student. Today, we all received an email explaining to us that the ‘exam board’ had got the question wrong that we were all studying, and instead of trying to find the Lowest temperature, we were meant to be finding the lowest-high temperature. The reason I say ‘exam board’ is because apparently the teachers decided to only tell us today, rather than when they knew LAST THURSDAY! So one teacher watched us sit and count individual cells and work out the percentage of the dead ones, whilst another marked and gave back coursework despite having had a discussion with a teacher from the other groups, saying that we were doing it wrong.
*Allows steam to pour from ears*
So now pretty much all of us have to change our work.
DAMN THEM TO YEAST HELL!

I’ve recently been asked “Why would I need a stirrer, other than to stir things?!” and “Can I have 10 water baths in my exoeriment do you think? Does teh school even have 10 water baths!?” by Ayla and I’m sitting surrounded by selotape and bits of horse food; I think that its that time of year again, Coursework Panic Season - when every one starts coursework they should have started about a week earlier. I’m doing NVQ written work which involves me sticking horse food down and describing it and Ayla is completing her biology task. At the moment mine consists of approximatly 30 / 1000 words - and those were saftey points I took from my previous one. DAMN!
The Biology Planning Task they gave us this year consists of the impossible - kill yeast.
The buggers seem to be able to survive freezing at -14 degrees c! A few even survived being boiled into a thick paste. Biology Teacher says she expects a letter from the exam board apologising for the ridiculous nature of the task and the mis-use of the the word kill where denature should have been.
Mmmmm
ANWHO!
I was recently accepted into Random Shapes blogging community so I’m feeling a little bit sparkley special :D

I always said light made me sneeze, and it turns out that it probably does!
I could have (if I’m in a hypochondriac mood) Photic sneeze reflex
This is ” a medical condition by which people exposed to bright light sneeze. The photic sneeze reflex can also cause one to sneeze many times consecutively. The condition occurs in 17% to 25% of humans, with more common occurrence in Caucasians than others. The condition is passed along genetically as an autosomal dominant trait.”
So there you go!

I’m all ill; well not ill ill, ill enough to make me snotty, gross and miserable but not ill enough to expect a lot of sympathy without going to man-flu scale. (I use the term man-flu in a non gender specific way; girls can get it too)
I spent last night with my lesbian-lover-in-a-non-gay-way. We ate chocolate fondue, nachos and watched first the wonderfully shittty peoples Quiz by the national lottery. The TV producers are laughing when they do stuff like that; they get free entertaining material which they don’t even have to employ someone to write - the stupidity of some people do it all themselves.
Question: What type of animal is a Puffin?
Contender: Oh….what? Ok, can I have any clues? Just one? Ok, well I know its not a dragon.
Question: What is the penultimate letter of the alphabet
Same Contender (yes she got the Puffin one right in the end!): Penultimate…*pause* So not the last one….A. Its A
People really do set themselves up!
We also watched Chocolat. Wonderful film - but I did have one question at the end.
Why are all the french people talking in English?!
I’ll have to leave on that thought; I have a history essay due tuesday and a piece of Biology coursework due monday. Crap.

“I live in fear of being squashed to death in my sleep!”
-Emma, RE: sleeping in the bunk below her sister
House is back!
Housey Housey House!
Yes indeeeeed. I do love that show so very very much.
I think its because its a medical version of CSI, and also because the lines House gets are just so damn funny. You also gotta kinda love House even though he is a bastard a lot of the time to pretty much everyone except his rat.
CSI; thats a whole new can of worms…ugh, bad choice of phrasing considering last nights episode, which for the first 10 minutes or so revolved chiefly around maggots which I really CAN’T stand. However, as usual the team came out trumps and all is well once more.
I’ll just take this opportunity to state my dislike for CSI: Miami. I mean, why the stupid flippy hair and what is the obsession with the long lingering shots ending with Horatio Caine and his damn Sunglasses? It’s so annoying.
I am aware that its not real, but I would love to be a forensic scientist if it went like it does on CSI. I mean for one it would be fairly easy, but most importantly they use so many cool gadgets and gizmos! One can dream…
Lotsa Love

P.s - Rocking a new theme :D
I’ve calmed down a bit now, Emma said she’d be my hobo buddy as she doesn’t know either.

This years Vernal equinox started off with sleety snow and ended with warming (but a little cool outside) sunshine.
It was a very odd day; we started in winter-weather and ended in spring-weather, which I guess in effect, is what the vernal equinox is all about.
So I guess it was actually a very fitting day.

I have been looking at universities and I just realised; I DON’T HAVE A CLUE WHAT I’M GONNA DO!
:(
Plan A: Psychology - well I don’t know what kind. There are a billion and looking at the course requirements I’m not sure if they are as…challanging as I might want.
Plan B: Mounted Policelady - Feck off. I would fail. And I don’t really think I want to
Plan C: Hobo - least I dont have to make any choices except for which door to sleep in each night.
:(
Oh dear
I don’t know any more
Now I’m scared :(
