Standard Grades and other Shizzle

My life has not been filled with much recently, hence the not very common posts as I've not had much to talk about! Standard grades (Scottish version of GCSEs) have been going on, and I'm just back from my fifth of eight exams, which was physics *shudder*, not really all that joyous.
Cannot wait til they are over and I can spend time with all my friends, which I really miss!

On that note, I'd like to say a wee note about my friends, as they are really important to me. They know who they are, and I really do love you all, I appreciate it :)

Will be a much longer post next time, I promise. Just wait til exams are over!

Love you lots like jellytots,

Busy, busy, busy

Why is life so hectic sometimes? Phew, I feel like I've been rushed off my feet in a storm of homework, revision and social life. And of course, the latter is the most important! Done many things since I last posted; which yes, i know, was AGES ago. I went to my school's Valentine's dance, which was so much fun. My friends and I went as the characters from Alice in Wonderland, with another two of my friends who went it leopard cat suits! I was the red queen of hearts.

I have also baked, LOTS. These are my two favourite creations- custard creams and berry cupcakes. Thanks to the 'a spoonful of sugar' blog, I made these delicious biscuits. And in case you're wondering, I made the pink icing roses by hand!

I saw Emeli Sandé at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh recently with a friend, Iona (far left on Alice in Wonderland pic). She was absolutely phenomenal, such a brilliant show. I was sitting quite far back, so the pictures aren't great, but the music certainly was.

Now, I really must get back to revision, I was just having a break. But I promise to blog soon!

Result!

After my post 'My Little Slice of Hell' you will have thought my geography results would be horrendous. Well you, my friend, were wrong. Drum roll please...... 100% in KU (knowledge and understanding) and 92% in ES (enquiry skills). That means two 1s, and the possibility of the geography prize, YAY!!!

To continue on with the geek theme I went to a meeting today at lunchtime about a chemistry quiz. I would like to give a little background on this, as last year I took part in it, and we (representatives of Peebles High School) came third out of sixteen schools *cue awed woo*. I competed alongside a friend and fellow geek, who loves general knowledge and spends much of his time reading chemistry and biology books. Now, I'm not that nerdy, i do have a social life (whatever you might think otherwise) but i did better than him! So therefore, this time i would like to be the single 4th year representative. I say make the impossible, possible!

Have a chemistry AND a drama exam tomorrow, and french on Thursday, which I'm dreading!

Next blog, i want to tell you about of another of my passions, which isn't too geeky, so please return and subscribe.

Nervous Wreck

Today has been crammed full with geography revision with a little physics just to spice things up a little. Notes, past papers and some sneaking onto facebook while dragon-mother isn't breathing down my neck. My brain is about to explode from all the little voices screaming; "Population Density", "Voluntary Aid" and V-Shaped valleys" AAARRRGGGHHH! I think i need professional help...

If you are reading this post it must mean you enjoyed my first blog, which i thank you whole-heartily for. I'm definitely a newbie to this alien world called blogging, but i hope i can fill out whatever forms you throw at me and i can join your little cult, please!

I should be very careful for what i wish for, because when i asked for a break from revision, i was dragged out onto the golf course with my dad, who is always grumpy when he hits a bad shot and today was no exception. The language! On our way round i took a picture of a beautiful bird on my phone, but found a better one on google:

It's a waxwing, but there were 8 on the tree when we saw them, beautiful.

I have a fantastic story to tell next time about my crazy mother and her beloved birds that she is completely devoted to, so please do return!

Love you lots like jellytots,
