…it’s the Exam-O-Meter of course!
The Most Awesome and Exceptional Exam-O-Meter!
Physics Unit 5 was almost hysterically bad. The first question didn’t appear to bear much relation to the syllabus, and I really could have done with more Maths throughout. More Maths, fewer bicycle wheels please. Unit 4 was better, and the first question even consisted of 4 ‘filling in the blanks’ of word equations, which I really could have done with in the previous exam :S but since I haven’t been able to devote much time to Physics this year it wasn’t as good as it might have been. I’m not sure I’ll do any better than last time, but that was a C, so hey.
(Important reminder: Physics doesn’t affect my university place 
)
And Maths Statistics 1 was a piece of cake, really. They had the audacity to ask us about mean, median, mode and interquartile ranges in the lone nasty question – stuff you know fine at GCSE and then quickly lose practice with – but hey, I don’t need full marks here. I made a few stupid mistakes elsewhere, but happily corrected them before the end. My only worry is if I lose marks for not showing my method, but hopefully I won’t.
Oh, and an early birthday card from Brent Council arrived today 
Robert + hat = woo yay
I don’t do this very often.
But, tomorrow – on the 14th June 2007 – Robert will be 18. Adult. Five days before me, in fact. Five days which he has delighted in telling anyone and everyone about since the beginning of time
Nevertheless, I feel I should post something moving and emotional, because Robert is really my oldest friend. (As in he’s been my friend for the longest silly, not that most of my friends are infants. Although…) And in all that time, from primary school, we have stuck together no matter what. Wait, no, that’s a lie. We have actually attacked each other, fought and generally gone to war more times than I care to remember. In fact through a very large parts of our lives I think we hated each other. But you know what? We’re boys, and boys do this weird kind of friendship thing 
So happy birthday! 
You crazed lunatic you. Well done for bringing out my most loving blog post to date!
Accepted Joshua’s invitation to go and see The Marcus Brigstocke Interview It’s Later Than You Think (the name had changed since the tickets were printed) with him, his mum and Robert last night. The format of the pilot Radio 4 show was to get a celebrity – in this case Phil Jupitus – to do things they’ve never tried before. So we got to see Phil having his palm read, drink Absinthe, shave an audience member’s head and enjoy some colonic irrigation (not, ur, live in the studio) amongst various other things. It was a good show and, hopefully, will get commissioned soon! 
On the Tube we started discussing blogs, and I was accused of having a boyband-type blog. I dislike the implication of no substance, and prefer to call it a Top of the Pops Magazine style blog
In the same way though, Sanna is clearly writing a sensuous and award-winning novel, while Andy is a teen girl’s mag laden with quizzes.
*goes off to think about other blog personas*
In the grand tradition of expensive graphics and flashy features on this blog, I proudly present to you the inaugural usage of:
The Most Brilliant and Fantastic Exam-O-Meter!
Question a) was more fun than question b), since I slipped the word ‘metaphysical’ in quite early on. Result!
As promised:
