[Book] Running On Empty, Anna Paterson

Type educational fiction Publisher Lucky Duck Books
They say you should never judge a book by its cover, but I actually think it’s hugely relevant. If a book’s any good, its publishers WILL bother to give it a decent one. They didn’t with this. It even has cheap white pages.

See? It’s blatantly a very, very cheap [...]


another retrospective entry

Another update, because I’ve ACTUALLY BEEN BLOGGING recently (ikr!)
Today is Thursday, meaning there should be nothing to blog about. So, here’s some retrospective information:
I have started going to the school’s branch of the United Nations Association. Basically we look at current affairs and are assigned coutries to be Ambassadors of. I was lucky enough to [...]


Memorable Quote of the Day

(during a memory experiment in Psychology)
“I love it when people look for the answers, written on the ceiling…”
I personally look at the ground…you never know, they might just be trodden underfoot…
As a side note, I got my HPV vaccine (part one) yesterday… I had to wait about an hour, but after that most of it [...]


decay or not decay, that is the question

Colourful Sounds

It looks like a really nice cherry red in [...]


not quite primary school

A brief update on school, as I don’t seem to have done one here yet.
Sixth Form on the whole is much more challenging than Main School. This is a good thing, because it helps you develop a lot faster and it’s good to be stretched… however, the work can be very dull and taxing, and [...]


The sincerest form of flattery

Once, there was a Baby, The Stars Shine Bright phonestrap I liked;
It’s pretty, but Isobe! You’re mistaken if you think I’m EVER going to spend more than £2 on a phone strap. Even that’s pushing it. They’re quite good for souvenirs, though.
(If you want a Baby charm, you’re looking at around £15 – eep!)
And to [...]


FLASHBACK!

We interrupt your usual nothingness with a quick BLAST FROM THE PAST (insert wavy hands here)

This is an artefact of our EXCELLENT hours of Chemistry last year (in which myself and the two randomers who happened to sit near me had the capacity to do all of our work and then still have half an [...]
