Beautiful Blogger

I just got nominated for a Beautiful Blog :)
I've never really considered my blog to be beautiful, pretty or even successful. It's just my musings on stuff really and that's all I ever wanted it to be. People complain about their ratings or boast about how they got 10,000 hits last week. I honestly don't care about page views as long as someone reads it at least

So, my seven things you don't know about me:

1. My parents divorced when I was seven and now I live with my mum while my dad lives at the other end of the country. My brother still loves him but to me, he is my biological father but he is not my dad. I have little emotional attachment to him. Bit of a sad note to start with but it's what came to me first
2. I love to cook, especially Italian food
3. I can't write fiction for love of trying so I stick to fact, hence the Journo degree
4. I probably don't do so well in exams because I don't study enough, but that's usually because I'm afraid of it. The amount of work that we have to go through is so daunting I will do nearly anything to avoid it. Apart from clean the bathroom, then I'll study the entire day.
5. When I have children, I want boys not girls
6. I wear glasses for reading
7. And finally, I spent two years learning Chinese as a GCSE but all I can remember apart from basic greetings is 'I love noodles' (wo xiao miantao for those who are interested)

As for my blogs, I actually don't read that many mostly because I dont seem to have time or merely forget

First is the lovely lady who nominated me  http://curiositything.blogspot.co.uk/ she write such funny stuff, often about ho her bf annoys her and how much she loves soap (which I didn't know before I read it)

Secondly my lovely friend http://lightsoutwordsflow.blogspot.co.uk/ who does not need his ego making any bigger my me doing this but hey ho he's enjoyable to read

And last but not at all least is http://tobeconfirmedtbc.blogspot.co.uk/ who is literally obsessed with films and her blog is about - you guessed it, films :P 

This is what to do now:

Put down seven facts about yourself,

Link to the blog of the person who nominated you

Let these bloggers know

Simples *squeak* xD

Just me...STRESSING

I've realised that I haven't written anything in a LOOONG time and that would be due to the mass of exam STRESS that has been piled upon anyone of school/college/university age including myself.
I know I only have three exams unlike other people I know who have like eight. However all those science and maths exams seem more like memory tests with short questions to answer. It's not like English or Media where you have two and a half hours to basically write two essays worth 40 marks each. They don't have all those case studies to learn about: plays, poetry, novels, films, magazines, advertising; it seems endless!
Sometimes I feel that subjects such as English are so much harder than other subjects but they get so much stick as the soft girly subjects - you have to be smart to do this! And sometimes I worry that I'm not smart enough to do this. Earlier this week I took my AS English for the third time...and even then I have a feeling I got totally the wrong end of the stick on one of the questions (or maybe it's because I'm not the biggest fan of poetry and didn't study as hard).
Either way it's a pain the but that we won't find out how well we did until we get our final grades and by then it's all over. It's too late to do anything about it.
At least I only have two subjects to worry about as Graphics was completed back at the end of March and I think that went quite well considering I did twice as much work as we were meant to. My tutor said '8 boards' as in 8 sides to the project. However I thought he meant '8 boards' as 16 sides. I managed to cut it down to 14 sides by the end of the project and I was very happy with my final images - even if my models do look rather effeminate
I shall return when my exams are over and I am free to write - that is if my brain hasn't been turned to total mush in the meantime...
