Exams

OH GOD. chemistry exam in 2days. some kind of MIRACLE is needed ASAP. everything is crossed for just a paper of mole calculations and not a single definition. Of the 153 definitions that there are in total... I learnt about 10. uh oh.


study leave started last friday and I was bored of it by lunch-time on saturday. so instead of revising chemistry (which I really really really need to do) I'm off to see my best-friends new king charles spaniel puppy!! I've already told her I'm going to steal it.
But before I go- I AM going to do a past paper (:


Good luck to everyone who is doing exams!!

Hurry up.

A few days ago the most awful thing happened - we arrived home to find the vet out in our field with the owners of one of the livery horses. Turns out 20 year old Breeze had gone down with colic. Because of her age and the severity of the problem she was sent pretty much straight away to a surgery to be operated on. Sadly although she made it through the operation, her condition deteriorated and she had to be put down.
Watching the vet trying to stabilise Breeze's condition and deal with the situation made me even more sure that this is the career I want to go into. Breeze was a one of a kind pony and everyone misses her.
I just wish I could hurry up and be a vet already.

Wheres the pause button?

Life is going soooo fast at the moment. my chemistry exam is in two weeks and a day. oh dear. I don't know why but I just can't revise- I just watch 90210 which probably won't get me an 'A'. The trouble is even though I know that, it doesn't make me revise any-more which is a shame (: 
I know afterwards I'll hate myself, I just have to find the 'on' button. 
So I was too late to book myself for RAVCs open day and now I just found I've done the same for Bristol. I tried the day after booking open!! Gahh whats a person got to do to visit a university round here. I rang the admissions person though and she said just keep checking, so I'm constantly just refreshing the page- another reason I'm not doing chemistry! 
So the Port Lympne conservation thing turned out to be nothing which was kinda disappointing. Actually make that VERY disappointing. You have to be between 12 and 16 for a start, which I'm not, and it just wasn't what I thought it was going to be. 
I think I've made up my mind on what I'm doing next year though - dropping English and carrying on Biology, Chemistry and Physics as well as doing an EPQ which as well as head girl should keep me occupied! I'm looking into negative aspects of conservation and human - animal interface focusing on game reserves in Africa as a general area for my EPQ which will take advantage of my Duke of Edinbugh Gold expedition and is also an area I'm interested in.


Last week I did a practice-practice expedition for my D of E which involved camping at a nearby site and walking 35km over two days in the pouring pouring rain. It took me a few days to properly dry out. I've never been so glad that we're doing the real thing in Africa, where rain is pretty unlikely. 


I s'pose I best do something constructive, hopefully involving revision... 
wow - blogs are pretty good for venting stresses (:
