So bored, words do not decribe, but if I were to go out, then i feel guilty for dropping the books, but at least the sun's gone in, a sesh of alegbra cramming didn't stand a chance with it calling me to the news agents for an ice lolly.
Only 2 or 3 weeks the that extra long summer holiday though , which i'm looking forward to already like you can't imagine, and i think that makes up for every thing, 4 weeks more summer, the thought makes me want to go dig out my sun dresses right now, I might just do that actually...

Hiya Cara. It's not actually that sunny here (Oxford) at the mo but i'd still rather watch Can't Cook Won't Cook than do some actual work. Are you studying for your GCSEs? I'm in Yr10 so I've got to wait another year for all that. Anyway, write back.

It's the saddest thing isn't it, when forced to respond yes when a friend asks, 'did you see that souflée ainsley cooked up the other day?' agggggh and I swore i'd never fall victim of day time telly. If you're just in year 10, don't bother revising too much (constructive advise giver that i am' 'cause it's the mocks in december, and then spring term goes so quickly, I did sod all for the mocks, and it's not come crashing down on me yet...........
Sorry to hear you didn't get the sun, as it was so nice, but it's raining again now, just to remind us it is actually may, and what was i thinking getting sun dresses out.

hi guys !!!!

Oh the guilt of doing no work !!! As my father keeps telling me "not everyone has the opportunities you have".It isn't that I don't appreciate this fact but,well,Richard and Judy is compulsive viewing !!1 It's just too boring I don't care that x+y=z It just doesn't seem relevant!!!


By Becks on Friday, May 29, 1998 - 03:19 am:

Hello again!!
Bored as ever and still haven't done any revision - well, not much anyway. Yesterday, after I'd watched the Big Breakfast, Richard and Judy, Home and Away, Neighbours and done all those silly little jobs like getting dressed I was too knackered to do any work! Can't do any proper work today either - I've got to preserve my energy for a nice little 5 mile bike ride into town - fun huh? Anyway, what part of the country are you guys from?
See ya

In the words of good old Celine dion "this is getting serious" I haven't done any work and I have my biology G.C.S.E in exactly 6 days.Even though it is hurtling towards me at knots an hour I can't seem to knuckle down.I go back to boarding school in 2 days and I'm getting afraid,very afraid !!!

Is there anyone out there who is in the same sinking boat.I need support !!!!

Marylin,
Try Hypnosis, to get the facts in, or go by the good old stratagy 'sod it' i gave up on biolgy in year 8, and if i don't know it now i don't stand a chance of crammng it in by Thursday. Seriously, don't let it bother you, i don't think anyone's knuckleing so you've no disadvantage, and your cahnce of an a* will tripple if you walk in to the room calmly humming 'remember you're a womble' 9or other soulfull melody'
Becks,
I'm from sussex and happy cycling


By Becks on Saturday, May 30, 1998 - 01:43 pm:

Cheers Cara. I know how you are feeling Marilyn!! You do sod all during half term then regret it later when your exam is approaching.
Have a nice time stressing!

By Angel on Wednesday, June 3, 1998 - 04:46 pm:

Hi Becks, remember me? (Brit Bands)
I am majorly stressed right now for several reasons. do you ever find that the one time you need peace and quiet everything happens at once?
ok so now my reasons to be stressed
1) I'm flunkng my exams
2) I can't revise, every time I try I get distracted
3) I just got a new boyfriend, need I say more?
4) I'm ill, trust me to get a goddamn col in the middle of my exams.
Hmmm, you know what I seriously hate? teachers who try to be supportive when you tell them you did 2 questions out of like 20 on your maths exam. it doesn't help. A kindly, "you can always do resits dear" doesn't help. I DON'T WANT TO DO RESITS I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE AND ITS YOUR FAULT FOR NOT TEACHING ME PROPERLY. I really wich I'd had the guts to say that to my maths teacher.
Anyhoo cool websites, you can fine some really nutty ones, I use ICQ to get me to them, but if you don't have it I guess that's not helpful. I like the BBC web site, www.beeb.com. It cracks me up its got all the cult shows like The Fast Show and Shooting Stars.
But I'd better go, it's getting late and I'm not even meant to be online. See yas
or in the imortal words of the Waltons-
"Good night john-boy"
"Good night mary beth"
"Good night whoever..."


By Becks on Friday, June 5, 1998 - 12:56 pm:

Hiya Angel,
I'm back again! What the hell is ICQ? - having written it out on the screen I kinda get what it could be so don't bother answering! Anyway, I know what you mean about the teachers - I think they were only put on the planet to piss us off! See ya
luv Becks xxx


By Cara on Friday, June 5, 1998 - 05:00 pm:

Just think, only a few weeks to summer and freedom (especially for me, i leave school then)
Not wanting to sound boff, but some teachers are the nicest people, and really do want you to suceed and put in loads of extra hours on marking and stuff, our business studies teacher admitted to spending 56 hours in toal marking our business studies modules and she got it done in 2 weeks alongside with the year 7 french exams for her group. Plus, my english teacher is the coolest, i met in the pub one evening and she didn't raise an eyebrow, she just introduced me to her boyfriend who bought me a drink- like isn't that just the cooles ever? but i've got to admit that is a rare thing to find in a teacher.
Any one fancy whining about the whole exam lark, e-mail me, : zoizoida@btinternet.com I need somthing to ocupy me at peak rates


By Angel on Monday, June 8, 1998 - 12:03 pm:

ICQ is like a chat room (you know chat right?) but it's private, you have a list of people and they can message you, chat, email, talk, send files and URL's. It's good. keeps me busy anyway.
I had a two hour break between exams today so I gave my self some therapy, I went shopping. I got Spice girl trainers, way too cool huh? Not that I like the Spices but their dress sense is pretty cool you have to admit.
GOOD LUCK ON EXAMS by the way
Ok so now I'm less stressed than I was but the b/f front is going slightly worse than I expected.
I'm in a slightly Monicaesque situation, you know Friends right? well you know Monica met Mr Perfect Man and didn't fancy him? Well all I can say is SNAP!! Damn what is the matter with me, rich, good looking guy with own transport and great personality and I don't fancy him. But what the hell, it gets me out of the house doesn't it!!
God Cara you have cool teachers, I wish I had some like that. The only time I ever saw my teachers anywhere I went was when my English teachers' son came to a birthday party I took at the leisure centre where I work. Not quite the same as the pub huh?
Anyhoo, speak 2u soon

Duerme? who the bloody hell are Mell and Sue?


By Angel on Wednesday, June 10, 1998 - 11:25 am:

Mel and Sue I'm guessing are Mel (long odd surname) and Sue Perkins of Light Lunch and Late Lunch (english TV Programmes for those who don't know) Bloody hilarious too, anyone else find them incredibly funny? Cos I do, well it beats Business news on the other channel.
BTW does anyone else adore the film "the piano" I love it more than any other film, sad perhaps but it's a really moving film and I love the theme music. I'm listening to it right now.


By Becks on Thursday, June 11, 1998 - 03:36 am:

Hello again people. I'm back again to have a bloody good moan!!! I had my Hepititus A AND Typhoid jabs yesterday cos I'm going to Morocco on holiday and as a result both of my arms are severely bruised and swollen and I am finding it v. painful to write this. Anyway, on the bright side, I've got the day off school (YAY!!!), I've only got one exam left, I've got the loveliest boyf on the planet, and after tomorrow I don't have to do any school work until September!!! Oh, apart from my Geography coursework trip to that lovely, sunny, "happening" place .....THE ISLE OF BLOODY ARRAN (Sorry if any of you guys like that place but the thought of spending 4 days there with the sheep, counting thre number of pebbles per cm sq. (or something) isn't exactly my idea of fun!) Angel, I've been in a Mr.Perfect situation too! There was this guy who was v. rich and had a v. nice car (courtesy of daddy) and he seemed really nice as well. I didn't really fancy him but I went out with him anyway - on our first date I discovered that he was really possessive and we had this massive argument in the middle of Oxford city centre. So I guess he kinda wasn't Mr. Perfect, but anyway, that's my story. Did any of you see the Morocco v Norway match last night. If you did, I reckon Morocco definitely deserved to win, I mean, did you see those two goals. Anyway, I'm off to watch Scotland v Brazil on tape to get depresed all over again! Bye

By Scottish Lass on Tuesday, June 16, 1998 - 07:29 pm:

Do any of you guys ever get to the point when you just need to fancy someone but can't find anyone to fancy????? AAARRRGGGHHHH..... I need to get out out more! LOL!!


By Bubbles on Thursday, July 2, 1998 - 09:46 am:

Everyone Good Luck-and Angel -I have got ICQ -do u wanna chat sometime on it?


By Becks on Monday, July 6, 1998 - 03:41 am:

YAY!!!! It's the end of term! No more school for 2 WHOLE MONTHS!!!!!!! Finally, i have a chance to relax, do no work, get a suntan, get away from two bitches at school who are making my life hell...... bliss. And i'm going to Morrocco on Wednesday, which means i won't see my lovely boyf for about 3 weeks, but i'm trying to forget about that!!! Hope you guys have gorge summer hols. Bye
luv Becks xxx


By Bogus on Saturday, July 18, 1998 - 01:17 pm:

Lucky you, we don't split up until 25th July, so we only get 5 weeks hols. What a bumma!


By Kaz on Wednesday, August 5, 1998 - 05:26 am:

I am sick of holidays - I wish the summer hols were over. There is nothing to do, the weather is awful and I am panicing because my exam results are due in the day after tomorrow! Aaah - I think I have failed Chemistry. It is august and it is windy and raining outside, how the hell can I get a tan? Roll on the sunny days!

gotta go now, luv Kaz


By Karen on Saturday, August 22, 1998 - 04:22 pm:

its Kaz again, and yes, i did fail Chemistry - damn! Exams are so horrible 'cause after you have worked as hard as possible to study for and do the bloody thing, they make you wait three months before they give you the results!

By the way, for any Scottish lassies about to make the jump between Standard Grades and Highers, be very careful. The jump is huuuuge! I got a 1 for Chemistry at S. grade - which is pretty damn brilliant - and then i got a D at Higher.

Oh, and if anybody else sat the Higher Religious Studies exam and did really badly even though they should have done brilliantly; i know exactly how you feel. I want to rip my teachers head off for being so horrible as to make all our classes finish early instead of teaching us how to pass exams, for not caring that the whole class done badly, and for spending the year telling us about what was happening in his life - all very boring.

going now, after getting all that of my chest - bye.

luv Kaz


By Angel on Friday, August 28, 1998 - 11:49 am:

Guess who pased all her exams!!!
MEEEE
I'm so relieved you would not believe it.
I got one A*, two A's, 4 B's and 2 C's.
Hi ho hi ho it's off to college I go!
Hope everyone else did well too. I'm off to the pub, see yas
