Ranting on and on...

I haven't posted anything in a while, so here's an update on everything that is up in the life of me, Jamie.

I'm now one of two student governors at Long Road Sixth Form College in Cambridge. Basically, that means I go the governor meetings and put over the student's point's of view to the adults. I also get a vote in certain things in the governor meetings. This is alongside my role as Entertainments representative in the student committee thing.

I did exams in January, as quite a few people did. These were actually very important, and account for varying degrees of my A-levels in Computing, Maths and Physics. I didn't have an electronics exam because I do coursework for it instead. Speaking of that, I accidentally just deleted some pictures I needed for it from my iPhone. Epic fail. Anyway, I get the exam results on Thursday this week. if i decide to retake any of them, I have a 6 day window to do so in.

I have next Tuesday (16th March) off of college. Ha.

OMG Halo Reach multi player trailer!

I got a ping.fm account, which updates my twitter and facebook at the same time which is quite useful.

Oh and something which has really pissed me off.
i bought a pack of stuff earlier from game that had a 3 month card for live, a 1 month sky player thing and a universal media remote for the same price as a 3 month card, so i bought that instead. The 3 month live subscription card was missing from the pack so i tried to return it. They said i had to call Microsoft to get the code. I called them up, first time i got cut off with a bloody phone survey when i was giving the woman my gamertag details to put the 3 months on. Second time i got some mouthy bitch who compared it to buying a packet of potatoes from a grocery shop and basically told me to fuck off. So i hung up. It really annoys me that Microsoft don't have any way of telling what codes go where. For a company with billions of profit each year, they don't do the basics. Maybe they should also allow me to use my Maestro on Xbox Live.

Rant over.

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...
