Why hello! It seems that I've been away from dA for a long while (as some of you may have noticed) though I can confidently say that I'm more likely to be around for the next week or so; this being because of my break from school over Easter. As for the rest of this busy time: I'm not sure if I can say the same. My GCSE exams are arriving with the speed of a...very fast moving object - my first being on the 12th of May. But for the time I will be here, I have important news to share!
Well, at least, I regard it as important. I doubt that anyone else on this site will watch the show "Primeval", as it only airs in the UK and because many of my friends view my limited TV watching with distaste, but there has been a tremendous plot bunny! The main character, the scientist Nick Cutter, has just been killed off! He died! I cried, both at his demise but also at my own sadness - I just want to assure those of you doubting my sanity/intelligence that it was a very dramatic and upsetting death. And it's not even the end of the series! Such drama...on other fronts:
My own life has been comparitively uninteresting of late. Besides exam preparation and the ever present art folder, I've managed to see a couple of friends over these holidays and I'm going to a party next Friday. Actually, more important than any of the aforementioned things (though I had a great time at the beach and in Norwich when I went) is that I went into Cambridge with a friend and succeeded in finding and buying a prom dress! The year 11s get a prom at the end of the exams, as a sort of celebration of our achievements and the fact that the year group will be disbanded, seeing as people are moving to different schools and some going into employed scholarships and the like. I think I'll either be staying where I am, or moving to a different sixth form college in another town - the difference between the two being the courses they offer. If I stay at my current school, I'll be doing the IB (International Baccalaureate Diploma) but if I move, I'll be doing A levels. Some people will know about which is which, but for those who don't - the complexities take too long to explain! I'll tell anyone who wants to know, but the basics of it is that there are different subjects available in each and that in the A level curriculum, you take less subjects and hopefully get more free time!
That's about it! I wish luck to everyone who is, like me, doing exams very soon and a Happy Easter to everyone!
