Lots of new news

by on Comments

Well I am at college now. Woo! More education. It is already doing my head in :P Surprise surprise. The work load is tough but I like it far better than school. I'm getting unsure of my maths skills because i'm having real problems with C1 but flying through S1 so it's confusing...

But I love computing. Bar the fact i'm the ONLY girl in my class of like 20 guys it's nice. We're doing some learning visual basic stuff. Today we made a mileometer with some command buttons and changed it from base10 to binary and stuff. Was pretty fun. We're gonna start making basic little games too soon! How awesome!

Speaking of Games I finally completed Zelda, Me and My boyfriend did it Co-op together. He was guiding me through it and lending emotional support when I was getting annoyed (sol's in twilight palace anyone?) and i was kicking butt. It was quite fun! I love being a geeky couple. You can get excited about sad things together and somehow even one player games are fun together.

He also bought a 360 again the other day. Which made me want one more. And as it's a month away from my birthday he agreed to buy half of one for my birthday!

So I have a premium 360 with:
Oblivion (which I need to return cos it doesn't work)
Halo 3
Halo
Fable
Blue Dragon (Dave's copy)
Gears of War
And borrowing priviledges to Dave's Forza 2 and Bioshock :)

Been playing some Halo 3 tonight. My fps suck sooooo much. My friend Sam is a huge Halo fanatic (he bought all 3 editions) and he'd be ashamed! But I'm having fun! Though my controller is messing up. Damn pre-owned consoles and their tempting staff discount.

So add me (Kaleida) to xbox live.

And Andy I'm sorry I got a 360 before a PS3 :p

End!

Loveness to all.

2 Years of sweat, blood, tears and hours of boredom. Finally summed up.

by on Comments

Oh yes. The past 2 years at school I have been working in each subject for one thing. A good grade at the end of it. And I finally have been told the grades.

Today I received my GCSE results. Over 3 months since my first one in fact as it was 3rd May I did my first GCSE exam (Drama)

So I already have GCSE Statistics: A* from last year and I have ECDL (IT qualification) Level 2 which is round about a B so what did I get today?

Maths: A*
Double Award Science: A*A*
BTEC Business Studies: Distinction (which is AA/A*A* Can't remember)
Spanish: A
Drama: A
English: A
English Literature: B
Art: B

So I'm quite chuffed:D I was expecting a B in both englishs so the A was a welcome surprise! I kinda hoped for an A* in Drama but A is good enough. So now I'm ready to go to College (the british kind) to do my A levels and hopefully do aswell in them too.

Today I only went out for a meal with my nan and cousin but tomorrow I am going to manchester for the day shopping then going to the all you can eat chinese, which should be awesome.

In other news I have moved house. Moved on the 22nd as planned and now have settled quite nicely. Though it took 3 weeks for the internet to reconnect! It was heart breaking.

I also had a lurvley time on my holiday and I got very burnt as it was quite hot and sunny! You can see pictures on my myspace page www.myspace.com/dreamyourlifeaway. I'm private but send me a request and message me about who you are on here and I'll accept happily.

What else? Oooo Idk. I'll just end it now while I'm all happy:)

I'm back again! ^.^ Well technically I never left, I just not as frantic with posting on here anymore. Suppose it gets like that after nearly 3 years of being on here? Most of my original friends have left now.

So whats new in my life. A lot so here's some updates:

Games:

I'm still working my way through Zelda and Final Fantasy XII but getting closer and closer to the end. I don't have much time to sit down with my consoles at the moment for various reasons I will mention later. My DS is getting a lot of love at the moment, my ever so kind BF bought me an import copy of Pokemon Diamond so I like playing on that! I keep borrowing Pre-owned DS games from work too so they keep me entertained. Cooking Mama kicks ass.

I'm gonna have to buy cooking mama on the wii soon along with mario strikers charged. I was gonna buy it this week but people keep buying the last copies in work:(

School + Now exams

I have now reached that joyous school age where I have left school! Woo! I finished on May 18th at 3:30pm. A healthy 2 months before every other school year in the UK (Bar year 13) but now I have to do my GCSEs:( I have already finished my Drama, Art, Business Studies, English Lit and Spanish. Just got 6 exams left over the next 2 weeks in English, Maths and Science. I have 4 this week and 2 next week and finish on 13th June! I'm still planning to go John Deane's College in September.

Finishing school was really bizare. So weird that I can go and get a full time job now, get my own house kinda thing. Don't have to go back into education if I don't want!

Here's a few piccymatures of my final day and my leaver's do (my school is stupid, didn't give us a prom. Stupid all girlness)

Moving House

Aye, idk if I mentioned this but on the 22nd June I'm moving house! I've lived in my current house since October 1992 so it's gonna be weird. Whats gonna be even weirder is since that date it's been just me and my mum. Now it's gonna be Me, Mum, Her boyfriend and at the weekend his 9 and 12 year old children! This is house seems lovely, its about a 20 min drive from where I am now which with my current situation is quite far away from all my friends and Job in Crewe, however, in October I will be getting my car and learning how to drive. And what makes it even better: Mum's bf is a qualified driving instructor... :D

The new house!

Randomness

A lotta stuff has happened but Idk what to say now... Errrmmm I'm still working at Gamestation which is a pretty damn cool Job. I now know some of the most awesome people to ever grace the planet from it. Oh and we were also the best store in the country at Christmas and therefore won an incentive. We all won holiday vouchers! I got £750 (Apparently $1405) in Holiday vouchers and I'm on an 8 hour contract! So this summer Me and my Mum are having one last holiday together to Tenerife which will be very awesome. One long week in the sun! Woo!

Anyway I'm gonna get back to revising Maths, Mainly transformations of Sin, Cos and Tan graphs. :)

Hope your are all well.

Eeekness, long needed update.

by on Comments

*Wades through the dust of this JOURNAL (Never gonna be a blog)* Ekkk it's bad in here.

Hola People ^_^ Tis me again! Did anyone miss me? ... Thought not.Sorry for the lack in updates, just have very little attention for this site now. You should see how much my posting has gone down.

So for all those who maybe vaguely interested or just bored and need something to read here is a small update on me. ^_^

I am now in my final full term at high school and I promise you I am counting down the days till I am free. Its 62 now. School days, I haven't included time off in there. While I probs will miss high school a bit and some of the faces that are staying on at the sixth form there I can't stand it anymore and I am really looking forward to going to college. About my college choices I am going to John Deane's College which is about 40mins away from me and for college that's far but in the summer we are moving house, most likely to a town round the college. And I'll be getting a car in October. ^_^ Btw have I discussed college here? Hmm.. Don't think so. Ok I am gonna do A levels in:

Maths
Further Maths
Computing
Art

Yesh I am doing 2 A levels in Maths, no I am not insane. I just like maths:)

I received my mock results back the other week and for me not doing ANY revision and not actually knowing half the maths Syllabus due to doing Statistics all last year I think I did well, though I wanna do better in the summer:

Maths: A
Double Science: BB
English(Lang, didn't do lit on mocks): B
Spanish: A
BTEC Business: Distinction
Art: B
Drama: A

Ok the review on them Grades, Maths is good for what little maths we have done but it NEEDS to be an A* in summer or I'll cry. Science I couldn't care less but I'm gonna try to boost it to AA, English same thing though a B in the literature part will be fantastic cos I am sooooo weak on literature. Poems and to kill a mockingbird! Spanish, I was in dead shock. I got an A! That makes me happy so yeah that can stay as it is. Distinction is the highest for business so yays. Art B is fine though an A would be lovely I just can't draw. Drama, Grrrr, I want an A* in Drama. Damn biased drama teacher who only gave one girl A* with an excellent effort. He bums off her soooo much. But yeah.

What else to discuss? Oh my wii!

So yeah after the last journal entry I did eventually get a wii. On launch surprisingly. The night before launch (7th) I was at home, I was gonna work midnight but anyone under 18 can't work after 11pm so yeah. Mum was asking me about it and I was like I want one! Now this Xmas was slightly different from normal, Mum has a bf and they wanted to spend xmas together however I didn't wanna spend xmas night in someone elses house and bed/sofa. So I said No and mum told her bf. But he wouldn't drop it. So with a bit of bribery on my mums half she paid half of my wii so during launch day Mum came into work and bought me my wii and a very sexy copy of Zelda. Woo! Working the wii launch was quite interesting actually. Soooo many people thought they could just walk in and buy one. It was insane. The first 10 customers about half of them wanted one.

Now Games:

On the gaming front I have been switching between quite a bit. I got animal crossing on my DS which is really fun though can get quite boring quickly if your not careful but its a great game to have.
I have Zelda of course, Loving this so much! In the 4th dungeon though the sand pees me off so I left it for a bit:P But I have to say cutscene after the 3rd dungeon. OMG! So emotional.
I got an import of Final Fantasy XII for xmas too. Loving that aswell. The doesn't seem to be as much roping in and love for the characters, Usually in FF games at this point I'm so involved with their stories but not so much, however, the battle system is brilliant. Love it so much more. I have just come out of the sandsea area and my party are mainly at about 18ish. (I put them on a rota) except Ashe who is always in the party who is 21.
I am still playing warcraft and i am still taking ages to level. I am a Level 13 Nightelf druid:P After like a month. and a bit... Its cos all my friends are now like level 64 and playing burning crusade so they rarely log on to the alts to help me.

So I'll go now. Rambled long enough.

Oh btw got my hair cut again.




Soooo annoyed (UK Wii launch related)

by on Comments

So I am muy muy excited about this friday as it is the UK wii launch. As many of my dearest gamespot friends know I am a brit and therefore I have to wait a tad longer (or sometimes much longer*coughps3cough*) for certain items to arrive in my home country.

I have had my wii pre-ordered since the monday after the european nintendo conference in september, so a while, this means I was number 25 on the pre-order list at my local gamestation, also convinently my place of work.

Now everyone knows theres perks to jobs especially this one. Not to mention the discount and promo stuff I also can buy one of anything as soon as it comes in store. Release date been and gone or not... This includes the wii.

So I am coming out of my science GCSE mock today and call Liam who works with me and who I was meeting after school and then he said those fateful words... "Would you like to play with my wii?" After a few screams of excitement I said yes.

Now on to the annoying part not only did i miss my bus from my house to work and it was raining but even though my pre-order was sitting there waving at me I couldn't buy it. Why I hear you scream? Because I am broke and payday isn't till the 20th:( So I had to settle on playing some of Liam's he had opened at work and go back to his house to play some more. I also had to watch him and Nick purchase their wiis. Oh how I wanted to cry! :( But my opinion? I KICK ASS AT BOWLING. Sooooo many strikes. Take me on people, I dare ya.

So what else is new? A lot kinda not really:P
I'm doing my GCSE mocks so I am only in school if I have an exam, Maths went awful this morning. I wanted to cry. Science was fine. I was next to a radiator and fell asleep after i'd done it.

Work is all cool and groovy though its insanely busy cos its retail and yeah some customer was mean to me on sunday! Git...

Life is alright you know, want more free time but its all good and juicy. yeah...

so ttfn, probs after xmas:P

Cookie to who can name where that line is from :)

So what's new in my life? Well school is now highly stressful. Mucho amounts of coursework and the mocks are now about 6 weeks away. Bought me self revision materials today. Aye aye *Nods* Giant folder and lots of reems of paper. 400 sheets for 7 subjects enough?:P Oh well.

I'm on school half term at the moment so I can catch up with my coursework, though technically I'm not behind. I just have a lot. I handed in 2 pieces today. Statistics and Pythagoras. And a Maths GCSE intermeditite paper, very easy! So that was good.

So what is my plan for the next week or so?
Well tomorrow I have to work.
Got doctors on monday
and then
wednesday
is my
SWEET SIXTEENETH!
Oh yesh, I'm gonna be all legal and cool! Condoms, lotto and cigs. Nice!

And do you know what you do when you turn 16? You and 9 friends go to Pizza hut and bowling, dressed up.

And what am I dressing up as? Well it relates to the title, one of my fave films and i had to buy a garter for it. Hugs and kisses to who guesses;)

Going trafford centre shopping on the thursday and going to see a film. Going with mum and martin's 2 kids. Fun...ish.

So thats it. Will update on wed with pics and humerous tales.

I need to dry my crotch!

by on Comments

Oh yes, I sceamed that in public today!
Why I hear you all call while giving me some very strange looks? Well I'll tell you, today our school had an inset day, therefore meaning it was monday and we didn't have to go in school. So what do 6 teenage girls do? They hike to the centre of the staffordishire countryside and visit... Alton Towers!
For the none brits (which there are a few of you) This is one of the UKs best theme parks. And it was dead today as it was a monday during school time. So here is entry describing my day:

Its 8:20am, myself and Emily should be at Ray's house however we're leaving her house armed with crumpets.
Eventually we leave the town and head to AT, on the way we sing along to the Moulin Rouge soundtrack (Which is still in my head)
Once arriving Emily practically runs towards Forbidden Valley, where the legendary Nemesis is kept. We went on this twice before 10am we are that hardcore. We then made a visit towards Air which was awesome as always, then I went on Ripsaw for the first time. Now dearest Emily did not want to go on this and as it is a stationary ride so she stood and watched us, now as we had bumped into some other Year 11s from school we took the backrow of ripsaw and just screamed I love you Emily from the top of Ripsaw, so if you hear any cursing about some annoying girls on Ripsaw, t'was us.
After this we went back on Air and Nemesis and decided to head to Kantaga Canyon. Here is located the Runaway Mine Train (closed due to a crash in july) and the Congo River Rapids.

We went on the River Rapids and Sue, Vicki and Me got very very wet. We went round on this twice cos it was so dead and sung elephant love melady the first time and waved at some boys.

We then headed to the flume! Which used to be a log flume but now is bath tubs as its sponsored by a soap company. Now only 5 people are allowed in these "Baths" at any one time, to the hell with that we got 6 in! Though it did cause scraping of the bath on the floor of the ride. Abi and Sue were in the front half and the rest of us were in the back which was silly but I couldnt get in the front cos Abi and Sue didn't squish enough. But once again we got very wet though for me it was just the bottom half of my jeans but it still wasn't nice and I had developed a curl to me earlier straight hair.

We then had lunch and had some spinball wizzer, then I went on Oblivion for the first time which was rather fun. Abi and Sue went on the spinny one i forgot the name of and then we went to Ug Land where we went on Corkscrew, Ug swingers and Rita Queen of speed (twice) now when on Rita both times something entertaining happened to moi. First time me and Sue were having a discussion about what were going to sing and then poof! we got shot off! This is the ride that goes from 0KMH to 100 in like 3 seconds. Well scary. Next time me and vicki are sitting there and then the 2 guys checking we were in safe were like did you fix this one? No, err girls you shouldn't be in there, oh do you want us to get out? nah, just good luck to you. Me and V were like pooing our pants. In the picture we are holding on to each other for dear life.

We then returned to Nemsis and Air for another go and then went on the blade! All very fun.

At this point i realised my picture in my keyring off the flume had fallen out of the keyholder so we decided to go back on the river rapids, then go to the flume, go on it again then complain and get another when we get off. This time on the flume we had 3 in the front and 3 in the back. I was wearing a rain poncho thing and i was soaked. In the 3 Abi got completly consumed by a wave of water and so did Sue.

We then had tea and returned to Nemesis for another final go, however there was a Q :o and it began to rain but we all fitted under 1 rain poncho and warmed up. After that with 10 mins to spare we ran in the rain for the final ride of spinball wizzer. Me, Abi, Sue and Em were in the last one of the day. V and Ray went on another ride.
After that there was dancing and hiking through fields till we got home.
The End:)
Oh yeah, my crotch got wet on the flume thats why the journal name is so.

I'm back at school, final year!

by on Comments

Indeed I am, oh the joyness. However I now am a big year 11 so high school will be all over by may, then college for 2 years then uni for however long. So really it's not final year :P I got my science modular results back first day back:
Biology: B
Chemistry: A*
Physics: A*
my 30% of my science GCSE I have done is so far at an A :D Which is all good.
So school is ok, I don't like my timetable though 8/10 days (I have a 2 week timetable) have science and this tuesday is:
Spanish, Maths, Science, Science, Spanish
Which is complete pooness!
And awww bless the year 7s, they are all scared with perfect uniforms. Hehe. Cept they haven't mastered heavy bags and their blazers are half way off their shoulders ties are caught on something and they're too small to carry their bags.

I got my hair coloured again last week (again) black underneath, red on top. Still same length and style though. I like it.

I'm trying to think of something interesting to say but I not got anything:(
