Half Term

Well as half term's go, the one just gone was pretty damn good.

First weekend I went paintballing with 15 of my mates. Now it was amazing. I was expecting to find a little place with a few maps and no-body else there. But it was more like an army training ground. There were about 150 people there I would say. Lots of good gametypes and even grenades which were pretty awesome. Absolutely knakered after that though.

Most of the rest of the half term was spent playing on the xbox and preparing the house for what was the best party I have ever been to (nothing to do with the fact it was my own party i swear...)

The party itself was great. I drank way too much, kissed a girl for the first time (w00t) and generally had a fantastic time. Hope there will be other times for certain activities just like at this one :P

Back to college, and today was alight I guess. Just had physics and maths, which are the least favourite of my 4 subjects but they went by pretty fast and then i went and saw my dad in town, which was nice. Next holiday is Christmas, so hopefully there will be lots of partying then, but for now its back to work for a few weeks.

Till next time.

Half Term Over and Last Stretch of School

Wowzers, half term went quickly. Some was spent well revising, some was a complete waste of time playing xbox. However i felt it was fun anyway.

Highlights:

• Hectors House
• Some fun times with Jamie Rumbelow on Xbox Live
• Barbecue

Hectors House - For revision's sake. Not much got done but it was fun anyway.
Xbox Live - Call Of Duty: WaW was fun with Jamie Rumbelow. Also the double EXP weekend on Halo 3 was fun.
Barbecue - A nice chilled out few hours, Saturday Evening. So chilled i even had a beer, even though i don't like it. Remind me never to have one again cause its not that great.

So that is basically my week of chill over. Now, I have 4 weeks of exams ahead of me (public timetable here) although only 2 are bad. Then on the 16th of June it is my birthday! w00t! and i'm 16, which means a few things, like being legal to engage in hardcore sexual activity (not that i will for a while) and maybe getting a moped (which would make my life so much easier).

Then a 12 week holiday. It's all to look forward to! Wish me luck...

The Beginnings of Half Term

So, it's half term. Any other half term that isn't in the middle of GCSE's or exams would encompass major xbox playing and staying up into the early hours. However, this half term has been a major exception, with many hours of revision. However, there has also been some xbox playing, as there has to be a good balance between work and play, otherwise stress sets in. If i'm honest, i am still feeling pretty stressed, even if I am not the huge panicer. I don't show it while i'm around the house, but i am constantly worried about not doing well. But i'm sure it will be all for nothing, then i will open that envelope mid-august and see nice high grades and say "i am so happy i spent that time revising instead of messing around" cause its not like a few weeks lost to hard work cannot be got back in the 12 or 13 week holiday afterwards.

Anyway, I am writing this in my break so i should probably get back to revision. Thinking of a tutorial on making the perfect firefox browser later, so i think i will do that after dinner.

Link of the day: One awesome tweak for firefox! Check it out on mine (its the transparent effect if you are slow or can't be bothered to click the link) (i got this from Lifehacker)

(edit: i just did a blog post on making the ultimate browsing experience: check it out)
