Telly Watching Homework

I'm currently watching Inside Natures Giants so this post may seem a bit disjointed seeing as I'm trying write this during the ad breaks.

Inside Natures Giants is probably my favorite documentary series out there, it's all about dissecting the giants of the animal kingdom and explaining how all their bits and pieces work together to make that animal suitable for it's environment by cutting them up and having a good old rummage. I know it might not be everybody's cup of tea but I find it really interesting. Oh and I have to watch it for my Biology homework. I love getting homeworks like that, personally I think all homework should involve watching telly.

Grrr, my telly's just packed up and decided it's not going to work anymore. That's frustrating. Never mind, I planned ahead and recorded it on the big TV so I can watch it later. In fact I may go and pester my parents to let me watch it on that TV now.

So I'll big you adieu and I'll see you all tomorrow.

Cat Gifs

TO THE INTERNET *jumps through computer screen*

Good Evening Ladies and not Ladies. How are we all this fine day of wed......nes?

Wasn't it superb? Y'know aside from the school stuff and things.

adolf-clitler:

dlifjdkjfad it looks EXACTLY like my kitten oh my goshAnyway, I suppose I should mention the schooling bit seeing as it made up a fair bit of my day. Probably the highlight of the day was discovering that tumblr isn't blocked on the school network. This led to me spending both form time and 'Critical Thinking' watching gifs of cats falling over instead of doing 'proper' work such as my personal statement which will help me get into university. Oh well!

I also managed to spend the entire of break listening to yet more Nigel Thornberry remixes and discussing what it means to be hipster, that counts as working on my personal statement right?

As you can see I've been very productive today and that didn't stop when I got home. Oh no! I planned two videos and killed two monkeys. Yeah, I did actually kill two monkeys. Not real monkeys, they're wooden and ornamental but still, they're broken now and I feel really bad. *sobs* I'm actually on my way to the funeral now. It's a bit of a traumatic time for me now, I would appreciate it if you would mind coming back tomorrow, it's just I was very emotionally attached to those two monkeys.

Rain...

HUZZAH!!!! The half way point of my stick of rock has been reached and it's only taken me five days.


Have you ever noticed that lol looks suspiciously like someone drowning?

Speaking of drowning* I felt like I was drowning today, not in the metaphorical sense of getting overwhelmed, but the literal watery sense. Yeah, it absolutely chucked it down around lunch time, but it was alright, just jammed in the sixth-form center listening to dubstep. I don't know why but heavy dubstep really suited the torrential downpour.

Right, I'm sorry but I'm finding it really difficult to write anything right now, me heads just not working properly. Apologies but if I persevered it would be a really bad post that no one would like.

Nigel Thorn-BLAAARRGHHH

AHMAHGAD IS SO HOT!!!!

Seriously, I got to school at 8:10 today and it was already 24 degrees centigrade. Then it kept getting hotter until eventually I lost all molecular stability and I melted into a puddle of goo. Well, not really but you get what I'm saying. Yeah, you get me bruv. Innit. As it turns out other side effects of heat include sporadic gangster-ness. Please excuse.

Anyway, lucky for me I only had one lesson today which was in quite a cool room. So that was good, then after a brief talk about gap years during 'Enrichment' I got to head home at about 12ish. One thing I wasn't happy about was having to leg it down the road in order to catch the bus in 28 degree temperatures. I swear I nearly died. Silly buses and their being early and whatnot. On top of that, the stupid bus driver felt the need to turn the radiators on meaning I was sweating more than a person with thyroid problems... Yeah there wasn't a joke there, people who have thyroid problems generally sweat more than others.

This is now a Nigel Thornberry appreciation blog.After managing to drag my sweat sodden corpse up the hill to my house I jumped into shorts and a t-shirt and cannon balled about three ice lollies in an attempt to cool my body down. Eventually I returned to some level of normal temperature before heading to the internet to look up more remixes of pop songs featuring Nigel Thornberry (the Dad from 'The Wild Thornberrys'). They are hysterically funny and if you go to eddplant.com you can find a collection of the best ones.

"DUGONGS!!!"

Right I'm off now,

Good Night xxx

p.s The hot weather partially melted the stick of rock, much progress was made today.

Wasps Nests

So, day three of the marathon stick of rock eating contest rolls on. Still very little progress made despite several hours licking. I'm beginning to think that this is actually just a piece of rock.

Anyway, I'm going to keep his short as I have to get a crap tonne of history research done tonight so that I can got to Chesington World of Adventures tomorrow. Eek, kind of excited seeing as I haven't been there in years and they have a zoo there too. To be honest I'm kind of most excited about the zoo bit seeing as I've been having a craving to go to the zoo a lot recently.... Yes, I am sure I'm 16, why do you ask?

Today mostly consisted of me researching Komodo Dragons for a biology project interspersed with heading to the tip to get rid of some cardboard boxes and peering into the loft because a wasp nest had appeared in there. It was seriously big, even the exterminator guy said it was massive. It was probably the same size as a fairly large football. So yes, that happened but then the exterminator guy showed up dressed in his bee suit and did something to the wasps so that he could take the nest away.

So that's about it for today,

Good Night xxx

Clever Monkey

So, I'm still munching my way through the stick of rock. Mouth is beginning to bleed. BUT I SHALL NOT BE BEATEN BY MERE COOKED SUGAR!!!!!! I've been eating it for like three hours straight and I've still only eaten about half an inch of it, I may have to take a hammer to it soon.

Enough about sugary treats and on to more interesting stuff. Well to be honest, I doubt you'll find any of my day really interesting but I'll give it a whirl anyway. So I started off with history learning about source analysis and some such nonsense which very nearly made me fall asleep. Then I had a free which consisted of my downloading various games onto my phone and then playing them for the hour. We sat and watched a documentary in Biology about some crackhead botanist who did something to do with photosynthesis. Then I got a free period because my other Biology teacher was helping some kids do some work to help with something or other. To be honest I stopped listening after she said you don't have to come to the lesson. Finally we had Chemistry which as usual over ran and nearly made us miss the train. But alas I managed to catch it and wasn't late home.

Oh one other thing, recently I saw a clip on YouTube where a Gorilla got up and walked on two legs for a bit. Now the thing is a lot of the internet has exploded into "OH MAH GAWD THEY IZ BECUMING CLEVUR! I R SCARD". First things first, this clip was released by the company who are making a prequel to the Planet Of The Apes film which coincidentally about how the apes evolved to become the superior race. And Secondly, Gibbons have been walking on two legs for thousands of years and nobody gave two hoots, just because a Gorilla did that people are getting freaked out. Silly People are silly. Anyway, I'll let you make up your own mind. Heres the video:

Bath And Beyond!

I'm currently writing this while eating a rather large and rather yummy stick of rock *drools*. It's awesome.

So today was actually quite exciting, it started off normal time but then instead of uniform I donned a Jack Wills t-shirt and a hoodie before heading off down the motorway to Bath University for their open day. On the way down me and my dad pretty much sorted out everything I need to put in my personal statement. Now all I have to do is actually write it.

 Anyway, once we arrived we wandered round lost for a little bit before finally pestering one of the student advisers for directions to the information fair which basically consisted off lots of little stalls advertising their course and such. I went over to the Biology one and started chatting to two postgrads who told me all these stories about their third year work placements. One of the guys told me all about his 6000 mile roadtrip across America at the end of the year. It sounded awesome.

After that we pottered over to the Biology department and chatted to some more students while peering at all the weird and wonderful creatures on display. There were fire bellied toads, fire salamanders, corn snakes, pythons, Axelotls (Which by the way are way bigger than I thought they were, like 30 cm long!), some geckos and some stick insects. It was really cool. Then we had a look around the accommodation which was all well and good.

After we left we went down to my gran's house because she lives nearby. My aunt came over too for lunch and we had a good old chat which was nice. This was when I got the giant stick of rock which I'm currently nomming on. It was like a gift to all the guests at a wedding my gran went to and she thought I'd like it.

Then we went and had a look round my Aunts house which they're building at the moment. It looks really cool, like something out of those grand design programs, just y'know not as massive and OTT. It's still gunna look really nice when it's finished.

All this only took us up to about 2 o'clock-ish. I know, we really packed it in. But we still weren't finished. Me and my Dad popped into Bath hospital to visit my dads uncle, my great uncle because hes been in hospital for the past week. So my dad had a nice chat with him and then had chat on the way out with my dad's cousin who was also at the hospital visiting.

As you can imagine it's been a long and tiring day, so I think I'm going to go and lie down and eat some more rock to give my feet a rest because I've been on them almost all day and they're absolutely killing me.
