No more holiday ):

So skiing was amazing! Definately a serious contender for best holiday ever. I conveiniently forgot to take any work with me but at least that meant I had a totally relaxing week.
So first day back at school yesterday- it was awful. I seem to be going to a totally non caring phase at the moment, I want my life to start now! Enough with all this learning stuff.
Had my chemistry test today and it was possibly the worst exam I've ever done. I knew literally nothing but I got my Physics results yesterday and I got a B!! I'm so proud! I'm going to Manor Vets for a day this Saturday which will be great as I haven't been there in a while and then I'm back to Lord Whisky after a very long break on Sunday.
There is so much stuff I have to do - CV, personal statement, book my driving theory! not to mention the tons of homework I've got to catch up on.
I've written several lists but don't think I can put them off any longer, at some point I'll actually have to start doing something. But maybe that point doesn't have to be tonight...

Snow. Really?

I was totally prepared (well semi anyways) for my Chemistry exam today. And then the snow. The one track road outside my house was like a car park last night thanks to the police who sent everyone down it because of  crashes on the main road it comes off.
So now I have to wait until after half term to have my exam. Not what I wanted - we're going skiing and I didn't want any exams hanging over me AND the chemistry exam will now be on the first day back and we will have gotten home about midnight the night before. Great.
I'm still waiting on the call from the farmer. I don't have their number, it was being set up by a friend of a friend but I may have to do some digging to get it because I really want to go!
Organised a time and date for my army interview! 
Couldn't go to Lord Whisky last weekend because I had SOOO much work to do and I'm missing the next two weeks because of skiing... not good. 
Through my school I found out about this 50 hours of volunteering award with V Inspired or something so have decided to do that, I can use my time at Lord Whisky and I spent a few hours last week helping with a Year 8 quiz. My team lost. By quite a lot. 
Damn, just remembered I STILL have to write my CV to send off to Burnham House and Animal House vets. MUST do that soon! 
Also over half term I think I'm gunna aim to make some kind indent on the scary thing that is my personal statement
Through Duke of Edinburgh I might get the chance to do this really exciting sounding outside kinda first aid course which would be great! Its just a matter of trying to fit it in over the summer because I am crazy busy. 


Have a good half term everyone!

Updates

Well I've just done my physics mock... it went all right - I'm alive anyways. Bring on next week! I have a feeling chemistry may not go as well...
I've organised my day with J R Farm Meats abattoir! YAY! I'm weirdly really looking forward to that I think its going to be really interesting, only thing is I have to get there at 7am. wow. early. 
I got a letter from my Army Careers Advisor saying I have to go and meet to discuss my 'whole range of options and discuss the way ahead.' Its scary I get to make such big choices now. I don't feel old enough! 
Also booked in my  work experience week at Animal House Vets in Herne Bay. They deal with horses as well as the odd small farm and the usual cats and dogs which will be great as I haven't seen large animal practice yet. Burnham House Vets wants me to send in a copy of my CV which I still haven't got round to writing - better try and fit that in between the revision this weekend. Talking of which I may have to sacrifice my Sunday morning at Lord Whisky Sanctuary for English revision :( that doesn't seem like a great trade. 
I'm waiting on phone call from a farmer with 4,000 sheep to confirm I can go to the farm for a week in Easter to help with lambing. 
That'll be fantastic because the other lambing placement I'd organised came at the end of that particular farms lambing season and the beginning of calving so I might not be that busy, but this way I can do lambing at Farm A for the first week then calving at Farm B for the second! 
Is it sad how excited I get? (:
