a certain someone in my life decides to get high and give me abuse for no apparent reason, this would be fine, except they can't see that i don't give a shit :)
but anyway, sorry its been so long since my last update, i've just not done an awful lot untill the past week :D
this past weekend i assisted on my first ever openwater at capernwray dive centre, they both did awesome and i'd like to take the opportunity to thank them for making my life easy, and i look forward to diving with them today :D
and yesterday i went to blackpool with sarah, just because we could (i always love how me and her just plan things the day before then just go xD its kinda awesome, but then again, we are that awesome) it was an odd kinda day, it was warm, but muggy, meaning i wasn't sure if i should wear a hoody or not, so i did, and profuse sweating occurred (DOH ) but its all good, maybe the summer wont last long :( (i hate summer, as a child i used to be ginger and that means heat reeeaallllyyy affects me, and it always knocks me for 6 when its summer time (ssoooo glad that we don't do any exams over summer.... i think it'd kill me and i'd fail)
right now i'm waiting for my lift to the dive shop so i can go diving with the afore mentioned students on their first ever pleasure dive :D so that should be fun i think :)
but on the news they're doing at story on the fact that at the minute, ripping songs from a CD to put onto your iPod/mp3 player, is illegal, this is the first i've heard of this, and it means i've broken the law many many times XD LOCK ME UP THEN :P but its okay, they're legalising it today (which i think is stupid, because it means a few friends just need to chip in to by one CD and share it between them :/ i think the law needs to be more detailed than what they're planning, otherwise the artists will lose money :( and we don't want that =/
long post, lots of updates, so i'mma go:)

FUCKING FUCK FUCK
man, am i having a shit time right now
yesterday, i had to do my divemaster workshops in open water, and it couldn't have gone more SHIT
i had so much crap running round inside my head, standards, where i'm going, where i have to be possitioned, and it was made worse by the guy i was doing the workshop with (another divemaster, not the instructor), insiting we do the dive i'd described to the "student" (my instructor) but backwards, which i cannot for the LIFE of me navigate -_- so extra stress there...
ALSO, on my first dive i left my computer in gauge mode -__- which im sure none of you know what that means, but basically, it means i can't use my computer to dive for 48 hours -_- so from now on, i think i may dive with 2 computers wherever possible, so if i do that again by accident, i can still have a computer which i can keep diving on and it'll track my nitrogen and stuff :) so i've found a vyper on ebay for less than 80 quid :) because i've kinda promised mine to someone else....
then, on top of that, i was given surface cover to do (which i struggle with anyway because the sheet bugs me to no end) so all the stress of divemaster workshop + stress of surface cover = head blowing, which i then started beating myself up for.
didn't help with steph having her sly digs all fucking day, and then getting involved with sophie, which she [sophie] has said MORE than once that she doesn't want her to do, so that pissed me off even more, MAN i hate that girl when she tries to turn people against me... well it won't work, it just pushes more and more people against her, which i find HILARIOUS to watch :) quite a few people have told me now that they've seen her for who she really is =] shame the others won't see that yet xD give it time
sarah is back to blogging :) but i won't post a link, because i very much doubt she's gonna blog properly yet ;) when she does, a link will appear again.
Mum keeps having major digs at me, and i'm not sure what the hell i'm supposed to do about it, smiling as my values are torn apart one by one does not equal fun.
thats it, kinda a ranty post :( but thats the way life is right now

quick update before i shoot off
hey everyone :D
got to dash off to prepare for my divemaster practical today, which im not prepared for, because of exams, but ho hum :P
went diving yesterday at capernwray dive centre with my good friend Mr lythgo from reefers and wreckers =] (i don't remember if that's the right spelling of his name) was a truly amazing day, first dive we followed the wall round at about 14-17 meters for about 50 minutes, then we dropped into the sump (that has a depth of 20+ meters) played around in there for about 5 minutes and came back, all in all, 65 minutes underwater, was about 15-18 degrees, so was wonderfully warm :D serious thermocline (region where temp rapidly drops) at 15 meters though
second dive, saw a bit more, mainly because we set out with that intention xD 2 meter plat, 6 meter plat, Cessna aeroplane, onto the answer, then straight across the the african queen, on to the container, complete with helicopter and an oil rig, through that, onto the BBIIGGG passenger plane (its a HS 748 G-BVOV for anyone who's more into planes than me) through the plane, up onto the wall (lost my way for a second, undershot my distance) up onto the devil and lord lucan (old fiber glass horse from Blackpool, if you're too young to remember it, google it :) ) onto shergar (same thing) then left onto the dreamer, then onto thunderbird 4, then turned round and came home :D all in all, 46 minutes with a max depth of 17.5 meters
all in all, a good day :D
and today I'm spending all day at the dive shop sorting out my kit, and my theory and a load of other peoples kit for this weekend (did i mention i was going the farne islands yet? if not, I'M GOING THE FARNE ISLANDS THIS WEEKEND !! :D :D :D)
so I'll let you know how the first of my 3 practical assessments goes tonight =] wish me luck!

i'm officially back babies!
sorry for the randomly dissapearing, but i'm NOT DEAD :D
had my last exam this morning and spent the rest of the day chilling and relaxing, now i'm about to tidy my room :D
i'm SOOO freaking glad that exams are over (They were begining to REALLY get me down and stuff :( it wasn't pleasent)
so now i just have to wait untill the 3rd thursday in august to find out my results (MORE NERVES!) but its all good :) i now have like 9 weeks to fill until then, so i'm thinking i may learn french using rosetta stone, because it's something to do (after these first two weeks, which will be PACKED full of fun (so lots of updates to come ;) )
then after that, french lessons at home baby!
ALSO my best friend from college is getting a blog, so all you regulars should pop over to hers (i'll post a link when she gives me one) ahhh helping out a young blogger in need -day dreams-
ANYWAY! i'm off to tidy my room because i haven't done it in about 2 months and its become a bit of a sti xD

its almost been two weeks
at least this time i have a pretty decent excuse,
my first exam is in 2 days, and i'm slowly but surely getting ready for it, i know the stuff i don't get, so i'm getting it explained, and the stuff i DO get I'm going over and over so it sticks in my head :D
i'm running around my life like a complete and upper wazzerk right now ( i love that word, wazzerk) but i realize that its all gonna be worth it when the exams are over and i get a chance to treat myself and go dive in scotland (last time i did this i was supposed to be revising for my GCSE exams, and this time i'll have just finished my final ever (fingers crossed) A-level exam =] i see an end of education tradition coming ;)
As i've been going through the practice questions for my chemistry exam, i've realised that my head is much more full of knowledge than i first thought, and for the first time EVER i'm actually feeling like i may be ready for a physics exam (i know right?! shows that starting revision about 2 months prior to exams really pays off, so if you've discovered this post because you're searching for revision tips, START EARLY and aim to be finished a week or so before your actual exam, then you have time to go over the stuff you don't get :) )
so fingers crossed for me this coming 2 and a half weeks, because it will be THE TOUGHEST 2 and a half weeks i've ever been through, i'll be running on fear and adrenaline for a few days, so if i get chance to post, they will be erratic and pointless posts about how great things are (even if they're not)
life in general, as usual, sucks :) but i put this down to exams, and the preperation there of, ( i mean, i'm doing about 20 hours a week in total, and i've been properly revising for about a month and a half, so 6 x 20 = 120 hours revision, divided by the number of subjects (4) equals 30 hours per subject, but thats just the time tabled shit, and there was a week where i did about 40 hours in it, so i've done about 45 hours revision per subject this time round :D )
thats about it,
be good y'all

its almost been a week D:
sorry guys been really busy recently.
Saturday there was the divemaster presentations, and they went really well, but as usual there was just me asking the questions, s'okay though, because it means i learned more XD (learned? or learnt? )
then after that i went back to micks (randle) house as i was helping janna the day after, turned into a bit of a night in with (quite) a few tinnies and playing COD and being talked at about life by Mr randle (turns out he's quite an interesting sole)
then come like, 2:00 in the morning i was tucked up in bed chilling listening to my ipod :D was an awesome day.
Then sunday, i was up at 8 (no hangover YEEEY) and finally went down at 9 to find janna brewing up ready for a day of hard revision (three hours of physics, and about 2 hours of biol in total) and she said it went okay, and that she learned lots, which i'm glad of :D and it helped me lots too,
then thats about everything thats happened to me since my last post, today was a fairly sucky shit day, had 2 tests (physics and biology) which i've done terribly on, but it's like 3 weeks till exams, so its all gooood
tomorrow morning i plan to go into college at nine and get some serious revision done, then maybe think about going to chemistry workshop (mebbe, mebbe not though) then i dunno, we'll see what the day brings :D
got a couple of pictures for you guys
first is of my (which i made) new wallpaper, which of course you're all aloud to steal :) just email me if you do and its all good (liam_smit2000@yahoo.co.uk)
karen gillan is sooo freaking hawt (i can see this blog becoming very sexy people orientated ;) )
Second is of some blue bells i took months ago, they're pretty :D

Hellooo
just bobbing in to say hello :D
had a pretty good day, today we FINALLY finished the chemistry spec, so thats it, i'm done with chemistry AND physics now just biology to go then its plain sailing and LOADS of revision until exams :D
I ordered my bag for uni last night, and it just so happens to be a new dive bag too ;) 20 quid of amazon, can't be bad :P mick turner might not be impressed with me spending money on kit NOT from the shop, but £20 for a bag that normally sells for 35, i'm not passing up on that kind of bargain :D (if you're reading this, sorry mick :D normally I'd spend it at the shop ... but i'm a poor student )
REALLY looking forward to uni now, its 4 months away thats 16 weeks, 112 days 2688 hours, 161280 minutes .... but i'm getting ahead of myself :P
well! its 5 pm and i best do some revision,
talk later guys

Hey hey you you
its been 6 days since my last post (really? only six? feels like much longer)
Some kinda interesting stuff has happened, carrying on with my Divemaster course, its hard going but really, its my seconds priority at the minute, A levels come first, diving comes second right now, trying to cram as much information in my head, as well as the divemaster stuff, is making me really REALLY sleepy all the time, i keep drifting off in the middle of the day, i think i need to take some time out and just chill... but that aint gonna happen.
This thursday i have a skill circuit to do for dive mastering stuff (god, NOT looking forward to that) so no time to just chillax then... maybe i''ll work my fucking ASS off this next week (except tomorrow and thursday and saturday) this is my public promise that everyday i can next week, will be spent in the college LRC working for one and a quarter hours, followed by 45 minutes of divemaster stuff (a change is as good as a rest and all that) then that 1 hour when the LRC shuts will be spent grabbing a bite and getting ready for the next blast session,
I totes need a revision timetable now, i will do that when i've finished with you guys :)
i'm really starting to feel the pressure of exams, ofc this is the WORST possible time for me to get my first ever experience of pre exam nerves ¬¬
Posts won't be that regular anymore, maybe on my dinner hours i'll give you little snippets, but bear with me, we will push through this

Man, what a weekend
As you guys know,
I am now training to be a PADI divemaster :D This involves spending a lot more time on dive sites helping out
with students, organizing courses, lots of hard work for minimal thanks really :P
this past weekend i was up at Capernwray dive center with a group of students from clitheroe (i love how firefox spell check wants me to change that to be "clitoris" ) royal grammar school.
It was a damned hard weekend for me sat on the surface, i feel strongly for those who we actually in the water doing the teaching D:
then in the evening i went up to mick turners house for a BBQ and a "few" drinks (always starts off as a few) started at 6 in evening, and finally set off home at about 2 am :D amazing night
I has some pictures for y'all from the weekend :D

Its been a few days now
Its been a few days since my last post,
And to be honest, not a lots happened, all i've done since my last post is get a MASSIVE back log of homework that i'll have to do on sunday.
Tomorrow i'm going to liverpool with sarah :D taking my new camera so we'll see how that goes (if i can work out how, i'll post videos)
I've officially signed up for my divemaster course as of last night,
For those of you that don't know, i regularly scuba dive with my local dive shop Reefers and wreckers (ooo my first hyperlink :O)
basically once i've passed my dive master, i will be officially classed as a professional diver. So i'll keep you all up to date on that too :)
Thats about it i think,
please feel free to comment on anything :D
