I think I'm going to make this a habit - strangely, though I spend most of the weekend at home, I never seem to have the time to do anything of worth, so future weekend blogs (and possibly Monday, too) will be posted in one big go, rather than separate entries.

So, the weekend went well, I didn't do anything of any particular worth. The old folks went out on Saturday to pick up their new motorbikes from the Honda garage. I don't want to admit it... But they're pretty cool. At some point, I'll take some pictures and post them - but until then, just accept that they're pretty awesome.

Sunday, I spent the entire day revising for my maths calculator paper the next day, that and history for Tuesday, so nothing else particularly to say for that, other than the BBC Bitesize website may be overly-simplified, but they have some excellent mock papers. Seriously.

Monday's paper went well, spent the first six hours of the day revising in the library. We got kicked out to the computer suite half-way through because the Year 6 kiddies had to do their SATs. I remember those, I don't think I worried about them until they were done, yet nowadays these kids are revising for them, harder than I am for my GCSEs.

Anyway, a teacher I don't like was in there, and said to the lady that kicked us out, "Well they'll be working in complete silence, I can tell you that" with so much spite in her voice, I'm surprised she didn't let out an evil laugh afterwards. I don't get that, how is it so hard to be a little bit nice, sometimes? Nobody, with the possible exceptions of Stalin and Hitler, gets respect for being unjustly mean - it's not rocket science.

The calculator paper was really straightforward, I managed to get everything, I think, except one of the final questions, where I was asked to prove some equation equaled zero. I managed to get an answer that was something divided by zero. Twice. So I gave up, and moved on. Fucking laws of maths.

Finally, today was the worst ever exam day, yet went shockingly well. Spoke to Stef, who's still very upset (I'm not allowed to reveal any more - or Joe will call me gay again), then got the English paper done. Had to write about two articles, some long-winded thing about living ethically and the front cover of The Independent, then write to persuade an assembly to 'Campaign Against Waste', which quickly descended into Stalin-esque "we must march forward to a greener life together" rambling.

Then, History, and the best exam paper ever, Treaty of Versailles questions and everything - things I knew! I'd been so worried something random would come up, but I'm relieved it's over, two hours would have been a long time to stare at a blank answer booklet. Ended up writing 10 pages, 16 pages total for the day, and using up an entire ball-point pen.

Finally, I've been watching 'Last Comic Standing' on Paramount Comedy 1, it's hilarious, people audition by telling one joke to two big names in comedy - including the guy who played Carlton Banks in the Fresh Price of Bel Air. Also, Fearne Cotton is in it, which is pretty awesome.

So, today's picture content is related:



As is today's YouTube video:



Coming up at some point, I'll do some commentary on the US Election (John McCain ftw), and more Andy link pimpage. Also, I'll get on the internet to bring you some more sites you've never heard of. Until then, I have lots of exams, so maybe less bloggage - sorry!

Amendment: Also, the Ting Tings' new album is awesome, get it!
