Isles of Scilly

We have broadband! Horray! I am not going to be completely out of contact for a whole week. Today at 2.45 I boarded a helicopter at Penzance to fly over to St Mary's and am now settled in the conservatory of a house my family is sharing with one family of cousins (two boys aged 7 & 10). I will be able to get at MSN in the evenings but during the day I will be island hopping and enjoying in the delights of my family! Anyway that's all for now but I'll keep you updated.

Aggh! Emma Watson????

Shirt

I bought a t-shirt today at River Island. Go me! Its black with crazy texturing and it is my first t-shirt which actually shows how thin I am. I don't know if that's good or bad but I'll find out.

iTunes vs, Windows Vista

iTunes isn't playing along happily with Windows Vista. It keeps on having problems with displaying text and graphics (see here) and I have to keep on restarting iTunes. Now this may not be so bad but seeing as Apple have had ages to fix it (I'm including the stage when Windows Vista was in beta) it is a bit odd that they haven't sorted it out. Now Apple have just been really nice and announced DRM-free tracks with EMI but on this case I have a feeling that they are being rather naughty. The only motivation of slowing down the fixing process would be to through discredit on Microsoft, but why? Apple should just get their act together and deal with it! AGGH!

Study Food

I have been eating the strangest food recently. For example this morning I had two pitta bread with peanut butter and for lunch I had two pitta bread with peanut butter; same thing yesterday. I have lost all will to eat proper food and am surviving on a base diet. I'm sure there are people out there though eating much worse. I better eat my banana now to make me feel better.

Shopping

I finally confronted my fear of clothes shopping. I have in the past been scared of going into shops in case all the clothes are to big for me and I look silly and get told that they don't make clothes for children. Today I managed to go into quite a few clothes shops with my friend Ben (who doesn't go to St Paul's) and tried on some clothes. Admittedly no more than a third of the clothes in the shops came in sizes that fitted me but I did find some really nice stuff; only problem was, they were really expensive! I have finally had to make the jump between children and adult clothes and I feel really annoyed. I want the clothes but I can't have them :-(. In the end I bought a sweatshirt from NEXT but resisted an amazing short sleeved shirt that cost £45! I hope to carry on these exploits but it will be definitely harder next time if I go alone.

Revision

I did my first ever revision session today and it didn't go to badly. It was 45 minutes of Biology on the GCSE bitesize website. I've decided that because I'm lazy I'll start off with Bitesize and then once I've drained it I'll look at the bits that challenge me in more depth. I survived but I'm depressed because my lava lamp has broken and my desk is no longer bathed in its glow. Only 1.5 hours more of revision so I better get it done. I've settled on 3 units of 45 minutes a day. Is that more or less than average?

We will survive!

Revision Plan

My parents forced me to write a revision plan so I have made one but with some slight additions to make it more fun. (whoops spelt Scilly Isles wrong)
