– Joshua lent me the fantastic Animals DVD, Ricky Gervais’ first stand up show. It’s better than Politics, especially the section on Genesis.
– I started my final bit of ICT Coursework, Website Design! What made me splutter, though, was the requirements for a Standard and Extension project. Let me explain…

The scary thing is that I only got 90% on History! I actually did better at the pure fiction of the religious than ‘truth’ (well, relatively) of history. Now what does that say about me? (That was a rhetorical question, I don’t want to know.)
My ICT mock today contained a question on a company known as Doggytoys International. They used ‘videoconferencing’ in which, we were solemnly told, ‘webcams are very important.’ Hmmm… the company is called Doggytoys, it uses webcams… I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions.
Seems like someone at Edexcel has been having a bit of fun!
I just finished my ICT Database Coursework. It’s the third one I’ve done, and they’ve gotten disturbingly longer each time…
My first, Multimedia, was 25 pages.
Then spreadsheets was 44 pages long.
This evening I completed my database coursework at a whopping 61 pages!
Luckily, I doubt the 4th and final one (Web Sites) will be anything like that much. I am looking forward to watching my class struggle with FrontPage (ugh) and Dreamweaver, while I code merrily in Notepad all lesson. (Well not all lesson, I might stop for a while to try and kill the horrible desktop background they’ve forced on us all.)
I got quite stressed out today – but the mock speaking test went OK. I screwed up on a few words but not on whole sentences, and apparently my flow was good.
The worst part came when my teacher suddenly deviated from the script during the ‘Education and Work’ section. He asked what my favourite subject was, I replied, and then unexpectedly followed up by asking about my worst subject. Luckily I didn’t just blindly recite the next answer, but in a mind block I answered ‘Spanish’!
Do’h! Of course, I should have said PE instead of mildly insult the teacher in charge of examining me. No hard feelings…?
Tomorrow, at 9. Due to a bit of a mix-up really, because with my surname I certainly shouldn’t be first. Ah well, this is one of the reasons my blog posts seem to have dried up recently, and I’ve been on a Nic-inspired MSN strike.
It’s only a mock, but language orals have to be the most nerve wracking exams ever. I’d probably get scared if I had to do them in English! My post tomorrow will either be jubilant or depressed, so we’ll see…
However, my registry at school has been duly fixed and I can be happy about that at least.
