My dad put this in the porch, I think it looks like an organic gramophone.

I'm so hungry, I'd love some popcorn right now - this is an important thought that needs to be recorded.

I got my drum kit and I need to tune everything on it, but I can't be bothered.

Nothing

My brother got Rock Band and I am quite good at the drumming, this does not surprise me.
I will be so annoyed if I don't get my drum kit tomorrow, also I am definitely going to finish Catch 22 at some point during the day.

Liquorice

I am so bored, I played with Photoshop for a bit - at least I'm a CREATIVE loser.

Sun

I am playing with a new band for the first time on Wednesday, and I am getting my new drum kit on Tuesday (I think) - I really hope this band works out, since I have an awesome drum kit and am available 24/7 for 3 months...


I just took this photo of the sun, since it looked very orange outside.

I will have to wait until Tuesday for my drum kit, I think - if it doesn't come Tuesday I don't know what I'll do...cry maybe.
I am waiting for 3 books from Amazon that I ordered a while ago, it is annoying.
I have nothing to do today so I guess I'll just exercise a lot, on Monday I am going to try and swim a mile (64 lengths) - I think this is very ambitious (see: impossible, stupid) as the first time I have gone swimming in roughly 3 years was last week and I only did 3 lengths which made me pretty tired.

I think I might actually finish the Welsh Baccalaureate tomorrow, and then I have a week off and Fridays off for the rest of college (about a month).
I hope I have my drum kit by Monday, I want to do some double bass shiz.

DRUM KIT, NOW

I took a photo of a slinky, also I got my double bass pedal - it's pretty sweet, I will have to practice using it a bit over the half term - I might be joining a band...I love playing with people but I really hate playing gigs, especially when under-prepared (I have been under-prepared for every gig I have played).
I haven't been reading too much recently, I'm going to try and read a ton in the half term.
Looking at things in college, I should finish altogether in under three weeks except for some sort of ceremony thing they might have, and then I have 3 months to read a lot...in between fiction I really want to become confident with all maths relevant to my degree before I start it.
I am still trying to write a story, any story.

YES

Strawberry yoghurt + ice cream + milk + blender=I want my FUCKING drum kit.

Economique

I ordered a Yamaha custom stage advantage drum kit, it's red and it has two holes in the bass drum which I think looks pretty cool, it was only a shell pack so I got a blue Yamaha Rydeen snare and I also bought a double bass pedal - I am going to have so much fun with this.
I am learning French for no reason at all and it is really fun.
Also I am writing a short story.

I have 2GB of acapella mp3s and I am going to make terrible mixes tomorrow.

I just watched Les Misérables, hohoho.
I'm starting to think I'll have to do the Welsh Baccalaureate work before Wednesday or I'll be murdered.
The week after next I am going to the Museum of Science and Industry to see BODY WORLDS.
Going to run for about 10 minutes now.

I just put tape on my weight bar so now I don't have to think about where I put my hands, and suddenly it's so much easier - I was worried all the time about whether I had an even grip.
I am currently addicted to buying books on Amazon.

Obersturmbannführer

Today I read random things about WWII and did not attend college.

I just read three Russian short stories by Dostoevsky, Turgenev and Tolstoy; they really were very short, and I like that.
I heard that the weather is going to turn sour tomorrow, if it does I will be very sad :(
I look forward to my 1am cup of tea.

I'm too tired to lift weights, doing nothing in college all day is really tiring. I'm going to hand in every assignment that's due in next week - technically I only need to complete 1 more assignment for any one of 3 units to ensure that I can't fail (since I can present ANYTHING for the last e-commerce assignment, I only need to fail it to pass the unit).

I just ran on my treadmill through a QOTSA song, and then someone mentioned that 'Through the fire and flames' by Dragonforce is a long song so I ran through it - possibly the nerdiest thing I've ever done ever and that is saying something. I've done exercise today though so my conscience is clear for at least another whole day, I'll lift weights tomorrow it's easier...I think I might go to the leisure center to do it since I can't be bothered adjusting mine.

Catch-22 is great, really great - but tonight, people, I'm going to read all of 'Metamorphosis' before I sleep.

I saw a butterfly that had white wings with orange edges, I have never seen one of those in my life; I looked it up and it was an 'Orange Tip'.
I am sure the weather is going to go terrible very soon...

It's so hot, I feel like I could drink forever. I just cut a hedge and now I am all itchy.
It feels like Tuesday so that's good I guess, I mean I will have a pleasant surprise tomorrow morning when I don't have to get up - waking up on Saturday at 7am all anxious thinking it was a school day and then realizing it wasn't was always awesome.
6 weeks until college is finished, I'm doing the bare minimum and I don't think theres much chance of me failing now but it's still on my mind - I can barely be bothered going in.

I am going to watch TV from 10pm onwards..yay. I have like 100lbs of weights to bring inside but first I need to get rust off them with a wire brush it will be very fun for everyone involved (me).

Improving your own learning and performance

Impossible!
I'll stop now.

Working with others

Me? Never!

Woah

I just ran 2 miles...in my bedroom, it's not quite as horrible as running outside!

I started reading Catch-22 yesterday; I was just in the garden reading it- I love this weather a lot, and trees.
I need to do some sort of Welsh Baccalaureate work for tomorrow which I think most people have done, yikes.
Last night I woke up at 3am and scribbled notes for some sort of story, I don't know where they are - I bet they suck, but if I do that every night for an infinite number of nights I will definitely write something better than the complete works of Shakespeare.

I just finished 'Disgrace' and simultaneously walked 1km in the comfort of my own bedroom, awesome.
Also I ate a Creme egg twist bar or something, A+++ WOULD EAT AGAIN.

Today I obtained a treadmill and it tells you your pulse, I'm aiming for 1,000,000bpm.

Hahaha:
I have just done two assignments, but I only did the pass parts - it's way better than doing the merit and distinction nonsense I usually do (I don't even have to read most of the assignment!). I'm expecting harassment about the Welsh Baccalaureate this week, as long as none of it involves me being kicked off the course it's cool (because that would be HORRIBLE NONSENSE, when I was in Bryn Elian and we were the "lucky pilot school" they said you had to pass it to get into year 13); I want a BTEC national so I can go to university.
I'm going downstairs to read now, I might be some time.

Lady writer on the TV

My dad got a Wii and it is pretty cool yo, the controllers make noises!. I went with him to HMV to get it and watched the fighting ring at the extravaganza, it was hilarious - there was this gothic guy who had this look of determination and put his hand up when they asked for any wrestlers and he ran straight at the beast they had on and got absolutely destroyed, but he never lost his determined look - maybe he was waiting for a chance to use his special move...but it never came :( I think I should have done the boxing because the two people from the audience that they made fight didn't have any sort of guard up and they were both exhausted in a minute (I'd probably have been up against someone who is known as 'The Hammer of Death' to his friends).

Oh yeah, Peep Show was awesome and Derren Brown's 'Trick or treat' has potential.

I finished reading 'Snow' yesterday and now I want to read everything by Orhan Pamuk, I am now reading 'Disgrace' which is short enough and..err..flowing? enough that I think I will finish it in under a week. I have 18 Scientology books that I am never going to read which make a sky scraper on my shelf, I wonder if I can sell them?
I didn't go to the extravaganza but my family did and they told me about a boxing ring that you can fight in for a prize, I didn't think you could do that sort of thing in this litigious age.
I am going to do bits of assignment work tomorrow, I haven't been in this week so I feel like I'm definitely going to fail - I haven't missed any submissions and I only want a pass in every unit (if that, I'm allowed to fail two!) but there are two assignments in next week that I haven't really looked at - I'm getting really lazy recently it must be the sun; I quit sixth form around this time.
