So, an update.
Still waiting on my degree results, which is annoying because a friend from my course said that she had spoken to the head of department and her project tutor and they both said results would be available tomorrow from the departmental office. Having had no confirmation from uni about this I email the head of department - results will be posted within 2 weeks. This is annoying a) because I want them now and b) because why were other people told crap by the same person? the big gays.

I have done a week and a day of my teaching placement, and im really enjoying it when I get chance to actually have some imput into the lesson and actually teach. Like today was good, me and my partner Nick were in the ssc (student support center) its for kids with behavioral difficulties, they usually have 2- 3 of they're lessons there each day. So in the first period it was science, and we had 2 boys who were totally unresponsive to the teacher and to us at first, so we did some reading and then a practical (a top set year 10 coursework prac), after finding out a bit about them, they really began to enjoy taking part, and understood the aim of the prac (enzymes and temperature) it was cool to actually see learning take place in kids who have problems at home and stuff, and who think what is the point in anything?
Last week I was pupil tracking, my pupil was a year 7 boy called Sam, he was top set and really nice. So first it was french, I was so impressed with that lesson, apparently this class of year 7's were already at at least a year 10 level. They were really well behaved and did exactly what the teacher asked (I havent seen much of that so far, only year 10 seem to care about work.) Next was maths, then Drama/ English which was really good, they had to make an advert about a cleaning product, some were so funny they really made me laugh!
After that it was science, they're teacher wasn't in so we had a french teacher come over. The lesson was about genes, and because the supply teacher didnt know much I was the one who checked work, and when 2 girls did all the work that the teacher had left, I was asked to give them some more! It was really cool helping them understand about the differences that environment and genes make on apprearance. Yeah I enjoyed it alot, some of them are so bright!
The downsides are that not all classes are like that, some are huge and of lower ability which I think is a bit dodgey, apparently classes should not be bigger than 30, but it seems that a fair amount of science classes are bigger than this, and in lower ability groups it is hard for the teachers to remain fully in control of a lesson. Also, the workload is alot bigger that I expected, I knew that there was a lot of work to be done outside of classes but there is stuff you forget about, the science teachers who have a year 10 class will have at least 90 pieces of coursework per class to mark over the summer, also new lesson schemes need to be learnt because the sylibus has changed, then lessons need to be planned, and other pieces of work need to be marked, open days need to be planned and reports need to be written for every year at least twice a year, then parents evening needs to be sorted. Halls and stuff need to be monitored during lunch and break. Im sure there is more but thats just for a base level teachers.
So Im still thinking about becoming a teacher but it is alot of work and the training is very hard. But I haven't been put off yet.
I get to teach for 30 mins on my last week with Nick so we need to start lesson planning which will be cool.

I love the guy who does the 'how to look good naked' program he's awsome. The entire program is awsome, we need more of this sort of thing on the tv, stuff that lets you know that its ok not to be perfect, because nobody is. I mean I didn't need the tv to tell me this, but some people do. I want a gay guy to tell me that he loves my bangers all the time and buy my clothes! Its making me want to go out and buy lots of underwear! Damn my lack of money!

So I have done a set for SG, but I'm not keeping my hopes up really, even though Cherry did a really good job at making me look nice, I just dont think I stand out enough, I'm not saying 'oh Im so ugly' I'm just saying that yeah I'm alright, but looking at other girls and other sets I don't think that I stand out enough considering how many girls they have now, and how many girls apply. I will be upset if I don't get accepted, and I will try again with a more stand out theme (probably star trek), but I wont be surprised.
On a happier note, my exams will be over this time next week, so yay!
I think I may have to use my savings to support myself until I get a job, but It means I can finally buy some new clothes for the summer, Iv seen so many dresses I want to buy.
Well that was boring, I apologise

So, its 3 exams down and 2 to go. I'm so so so bored of revision now, and I'm procrastinating as we speak, well not really I'm printing out some past papers. Iv found them very useful actually, although it is making me sort of question spot a bit, but so far I have been lucky and have not really been caught out yet, there was one question that sort of surprised me, but I had revised southern blotting for another section of the exam so might just manage a pass on that question. I just really want them over now, just cant be fucked any more, luckily for me my pathology exam will have 3 questions on cancer (half of the exam) and I have already revised and answered a question on cancer for my human disease unit. Well that's enough exam talk, its making me depressed just thinking about the next 3 weeks.
Last night me and Dan went to Frankie and Benny's for our 3 year anniversary, it was tasty, then we went to tesco and bought king of the hill and some beer and printer ink, then came home and Paul, Nick, Joe and Danny K came round, it was nice to see everyone.
I'm really looking forward to the 11th, feels like I haven't seen Hannah and everyone for AGES!
Well time to do some more revision

So its my first exam tomorrow, it is also the easiest exam Il have, so if my maths is correct I need a mark of 42% on my exam to get an overall grade of 2.1, because I have already gotten at least 18% saved from my coursework. Eeep Im really scared, I have another exam on friday that I need to get 42-45% for my 2.1. Exams are lame, my final one is on May 23rd I cant wait I am going to get so out of my face that night! and every night this summer. Ok maybe not every night I do have to get a job. Booo but actually having money will be nice.
And yeah Dan got me a new engagement ring for our 3 year anniversary, its a bit bling but I love it. It has a sapphire in the middle and diamonds around it. I was pretty suprised when as I was falling asleep he told me that he had been considering buying me a new one for a while. Ahhh thats my punk as fuck man for you!

ARGH EXAM!!!

Went to see 300 on friday, it was really good, very epic and gory but still very good, the way it was shot made it look uber cool. O yeah and the almost naked men EVERYWHERE made it brilliant. I'd forgotten how good a nice pair of thighs can look! There were muscles in every direction, but they wern't nasty Mr. universe style muscles, they were nice..... very nice.
so yes, go and see it.

In other news Iv finished uni, and have started revision. first exam is 24th April, which is a bit scary, but its the easiest one, last exam is 27th May, with another 3 exams in between. O yeah, I also joined the gym yesterday but cant start till tomorrow when I have my induction, I really had no excuse not to start now term has finished, I cant sit in the house revising and doing nothing else, because I would turn into a heffer and that would be bad. The gym is a bit posh too, and it has all the nice sauna type extras included, and the aerobics and other classes included, we will see if I decide to use the pool, the thought makes me feel ill but its good for you I spose and they do put chlorine in it.

This is my dating persona

The Peach
Random Gentle Love Master (RGLMf)

Playful, kind, and well-loved, you are The Peach.

For such a warm-hearted, generous person, you're surprisingly experienced in both love and sex. We credit your spontaneous side; you tend to live in the moment, and you don't get bogged down by inhibitions like most women your age. If you see something wonderful, you confidently embrace it.

Your exact opposite:
The Nymph

You are a fun flirt and an instant sweetheart, but our guess is you're becoming more selective about long-term love. It's getting tougher for you to become permanently attached; and a guy who's in a different place emotionally might misunderstand your early enthusiasm. You can wreck someone simply by enjoying him.

Your ideal mate is adventurous and giving, like you. But not overly intense.

The Last Man on Earth
Random Brutal Sex Dreamer (RBSDm)

Shit, rejected again. You are The Last Man on Earth.

Sorry, but most women would rather see the human species wither to an end--and therefore deny the most fundamental instinct that living creatures have--than sleep with you.

We've learned the following: you don't think things through. You're haphazard. You're dangerous. You're somewhat inexperienced. It's totally obvious that you're a horny bugger, as well. Everybody knows that and steers clear.

To top things off, when you do find your way into a relationship, you tend to be a dick somewhere down the line and fuck it all up.

Your exact opposite:
The Gentleman

There's a small, but negligible, chance we're wrong. In any case, your friends find your shit hilarious. There's nothing cooler than a dude reducing himself to human rubble.

15th-Feb-2007 07:35 pm - just because i feel like offloading.
Long time no update.
So how shit are things at the moment? Pretty shit actually. Where to begin?
Well lets start with the project - I hate it, its nearly done, I need about another 2000 words by monday time so I can send it to my tutor two weeks before the deadline (who probably wont read it or give me any kind of help - why change the habit of a lifetime. Its only worth 20% of my degree and everything). So this weekend will compromise of work and not much else.
Then the shit that went down. Well it was my fault but its still shit, I forgot I had a practical this morning, because I knew I had a tutorial and normally its one one week and one the other. So I get there 40 mins late and have to lie because this prac (and its write up) is worth 12% of this units coursework marks, so I lie and say I was at the doctors. So then my tutor says I have to hand in a doctors note with my write up! FUCK!! well I decided not to give her a doctors note or anything else unless she asks for it, in which case I have got a copy of a prescription (I had to go to the clinic and tell them I had thrush!) with today's date on so hopefully that will be that. Whilst at the clinic I was told that I should seriously think of coming off the injection because new research says that after 2 years its bad for your bones (I have been on it 3 years).
Work have owed me money for the past 3 weeks, and I have had to hassle and hassle until I got the guy who was supposed to be sorting it bollocked by his boss(he hadn't even told pay role I'd quit!) so on tuesday he rang me to say he was putting in 2 weeks and 5hrs overtime in my account- even tho i'm only owed a week! apparently it should take three days so if its not in my account tomorrow I am going to kick off big time.
My teaching application will be going off tomorrow,after my meeting with my head of department who is going to be my referee, even tho I haven't been able to get any experience. The experience thingy I have planned is at the beginning of may, which is guess what?! yeah you guessed it EXAM TIME!!! EURGH nothing can ever go right ever can it??
Erm anything else I can rant about?
O yeah I got nothing for valentines day, not that it bothers me about the day, but I wanted presents!!
My mum wont buy me new glasses, I have received £0.00 from my mum since I left home, except bday and crimbo presents so she could at least fork out for something I actually need, seeing as its her fault I need glasses in the first place!
And i think that might be it. Well done if you got this far!

wow, hello livejournal, hasnt been such a long time since we last spoke? even so i still have very little of interest to say, i got my hair cut on tuesday, went to under your hat cos thats where i went last time and shock of all horrors the hairdresser didnt cut my hair too short (it was a little too long tho) so i thought il go back there again! so i did and it was a bloke who was going to be doing the cutting (iv never had my hair cut by a man before and i dont think i will again cos he bruised my head he was that rough!) and guess what, he cuts it about an inch and a half too short, but at least my undercut has fully grown out now. fucking hairdressers, they ruin lives they fucking do! so im gonna go and get some extensions to put in the front at some point.
not much has been going on, katherine rang the other day and asked whats been happening, i had nothing! its a sad state of affairs indeed. but we shall be ooout on the weekend methinks. work is lame, moving house is lame, planning what the new flat will look like when iv finnished with it is fun! no shitty un matching plates etc for me! have you seen the chandeleer in the big brother house? well they have a similar one in urban outfitters, for £175, i think all our lovly friends should club together and buy it for us as a housewarming gift! o and also its my birthday soon, altho most of this most important day will be spent travelling home from spain, but a night out on the following weekend may be planned.
and yes holiday!!!! wooooo!!!!
