Mission Babysitter - Successful

Babysitting last night went pretty damn awesomely. I did of course imagine the worst (having to tie them to the car and run out of the burning house whilst a kid was hanging on to my hair and puking) but fortunately kids like me more than i like them. Yay to that. Actually, i sort of like them- cool kids they are. Somehow i related to them- maybe because their ages relate to my maturity levels? Yeah... shockingly enough we had fun. And i got paid to watch somebody else's TV, which btw is HUGE. Going again next Friday, apparently kids gave me a good report. =)

In Business!

Oh and what a week it's been... and it's not over yet- one more day with 2 more practice exams and 5-6 hours of sweet school torture. I'm in over my head with coursework, essays, exam papers, and this week also food poisoning- not cool.

Tomorrow though is where it all starts spiralling towards long awaited WORK. Yes, tomorrow i officially start working. Babysitting is a start anyways; i meet the brats tomorrow...God help me. Anyways it all gets better Monday- waitressing starts then. =)

Now...since exams don't take any notice of my otherwise pilling up schedule, some chemistry revision needs doing. I want Saturday...........

Oooooo No You Didn't!!

A weekend of ups and downs directly proportional to computer and no computer. Aaaahhhh so i'm grounded. They took Leopold away from me twice, so they were mad at me and i was mad at them. Well, of course i would be mad, it's dear Leopold, my beloved laptop!!! Story goes that on Thursday night i spent "too much time" on it, since on Wednesday i hadn't even turned it on. It got ugly when on Friday afternoon i noticed an empty space on my desk- not good! I gave them the evils and the usual grunting and moaning of a computerless teenager so we came to an agreement. I love that. We compromise on stuff so well that if there was a compromising championship we'd win it. I guess that's what makes this family work. I agreed to 2 hours a day (including homework or research online) on the computer and they agreed to extend this after a while, when they know they can "trust me not to abuse it". Fair enough. I have exams anyways so it actually sounds like a good plan.

Otherwise an awesome weekend with some awesomeness good old quality friends&family time.

What Kind of Cheesecake Are You?

You Are a Chocolate Cheesecake

Rich and greedy, you're attracted to the dark side of life. Nothing ever quite satisfies your inner beast. And somehow, people find that sexy.

I finally graded last night!!! It was in Bridgwater which is a 2 hour drive away and could be called ChavVille, but contrasting the awful town, my grading went awesomely. Everybody was a complete stranger to me apart from my mom and my instructor; i don't know what i would've done without them there for moral support. After i was done my instructor gave me a cheerly thumbs up and so did my mom when i looked for her in the crowd for reassurance. I was so so nervous i think i didn't breathe through the whole thing. Finished with an A pass and a mention!! Mom told me that when i was called to stand up for i had received an A pass, she jumped up dancing through all the people and screaming. LOL... Insane? Maybe. Happy? Definitely.
I guess the 4 hours of driving, the hour and a half there and the exhaustion of a full day payed off after all. =)

Violet Hill

Radio 1 has played Coldplay- Violet Hill for the first time today and since then i can't stop listening to it. Coldplay is pure genius...
My music preferences change every week or so, meaning next week i might be obsessed with Britney Spears. Ya never know.

P.S grading tomorrow. =)

Broken Ending

Love and Happiness were walking down Peace Avenue, when Heartbreak came along with a gun and killed them.

Kick Wobble Wobble Wobble

There's this guy, John, in my taekwondo class and well... he isn't the fittest person in the world, if you know what i mean. Now i don't discriminate against a little gut, but this guy has like a... superXXLgut. Everything else is normal-ish sized though. We were free sparring, and everytime we end up together i aim for the belly-wobble. Since it's meant to be non-contact, i kicked it properly right at the end, not so it hurt, but just to satisfy my need to know how exactly "it would react" - as expected it wobbled as if in slow mo' like old jelly. He looked at me with a very surprised expression on his face =) Highlight of my day. I am so mean sometimes.

Are You a Hippie?

You're Not Exactly a Hippie...

While you're not a hippie, you've got the spirit of one. Like most hippies, you have deep beliefs and unusual interests. You may not buy into hippie fashions, music, or heavy drug use. But at heart, you are a free spirit and suspicious of the status quo.

Dentist Horror

School was off today because NUTty teachers are on strike- i don't mind since i get to have a lay in whilst they're butchering the government into paying them more.

My day was not as relaxing as planned, after i went to the dentist for a tooth extraction.
On the way there i was imagining, you know, blood baths and saws and hammers for teeth and stuff, but after she finished pulling at my tooth i realised it wasn't so bad after all. I mean yeah, she used an anaesthetic and there was no knee-on-chest-yank-it-out sort of thing. No no, my swedish dentist is very cautious. Maybe she reads minds and read mine and discovered that i don't deal with pain. Not very well anyways. Last time i had a tooth extraction, at age 7, i think i kicked my dentist. Reflex or just revenge? I don't know, but i was NOT a happy bunny. Evil lady she was, old and cranky and midget-like. Bad bad memories.
Ah no worries, Cliff was there- otherwise i might've kicked this one too, although she used an anaesthetic and i'm 8 years older and wiser.

Cliff told me some stories about his horror dentist and apparently once he pulled out the wrong tooth. LOL that does not sound fun. His dentist was apparently "a huge ginger guy". Well, i guess that's scarrier than mine then.

Another extraction on Tuesday. So then i won't be able to chew with either sides of my mouth. Oh joys of being a kid.
