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
Be good people

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 been 4 days guys D:
to the stage where firefox logged me out and i had to remember my password (i have 6 different passwords i used for everything, so it took me a whole ¬¬ )
Got my extended project presentation tomorrow, and its not finished yet :( so i have to take my beautiful laptop into college tomorrow and work my pasty white butt off trying to cram about 1000 words into 4 more slideshows (if i don't post tomorrow, assume i took it upon myself to throw every piece of tech i own out of the window in a strop)
life, currently, sucks if im honest, exams are getting closer, which means uni is getting closer, and theres this little niggling doubt in the back of my head that keeps telling me that maybe i'm doing things the wrong way, maybe i SHOULDN'T share with ellie and sarah, because that defeats the whole objective of uni life
maybe i've chosen the wrong course, or what if i fail and drop out halfway through the second year?
all these questions bombing around inside my head, its any wonder i can actually SLEEP at night, let alone concentrate in college.
i dunno
i'll keep you posted as always :D

Goood morning blooogggeerrrssss!
today, is my first revision day, unfortunately, I forgot to account for how lazy I am
so while yes i AM up at 9 am, i won't be going into college till 1 xD (i'm so gonna fail if i don't pick up)
Might have a technology free day, i probably won't, but its nice to think i might isn't it? :)
well, i suppose i better go get ready for an amazingly hard cramming session,.
So, its been a short post, but i found a picture that sums up how i feel, and they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so enjoy the next thousand words ;)
I feel your pain sista ;)

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
