Down in the dumps today… shit start to a shit day. Pfft!!! I have roughly 12 hours until bed time? Are you serious?
Snow, snow, go away. Don’t come back EVER again!!
Sighs. I am so sick of this snow. 
It had been snowing since 4pm yesterday, all through the night and it’s still snowing today and we have at least 6 inches here. Such a bloody nightmare. It really couldn’t have come at a worst time, I’ve got exams this week and college was shut all last week so I missed out on important study classes and opportunity to ask my lecturer questions and clear some things out in my head.
I have been panicking like mad over my Chemistry exam tomorrow. Yesterday I saw my chemistry lecturer in college, after my biology exam and he said he’s holding a study class this morning, regardless of the weather. I turn up at 9am this morning, no sign of him. So then I brave the elements and go to town and thankfully, the library was open so I’ve been studying Chemistry the past 4 hours. Head is spinning. I feel a little bit better about tomorrow – but there’s still some areas I’m unclear about which could comprise my grade.
I’ve been hoping and praying I won’t need to work later. Not only is the weather too dangerous to drive in but I need time to study. Thankfully my prayers were answered and I got a phone call off my manager to say not to do my calls later as they have hired out a 4×4 and a selected few will be going out in it doing the rounds and visiting clients. They asked me if I would mind visiting a few clients locally this evening and I said I didn’t mind, which I don’t, they only live a few streets away. I’m glad I have more time to study.
Biology exam yesterday, I was fairly confident because I’ve been studying a lot these past few days – I’m always at my best when I revise a few days beforehand, some can’t do that as it makes them mega confused etc but it says in my head a lot better. Anyway I go into the exam and I didn’t like it one little bit! They were really picky at small areas of the syllubus, areas you skim over and you move onto the larger topics. Very little on DNA, proteins and cells. Nothing on food tests whatsoever! Disappointed. I tried my best just need to wait now. I saw my biology lecturer in the corridor after the exam and he offered to go though the paper – I’d rather not know!!
I’ve got my Chemistry exam on Thursday (tomorrow), and meant to have a Chemistry lesson on Friday. However I’ve already informed work I’m available if they need me because in Chemistry I’m sure they’ll just go over the paper – and I’d really rather not.
Snow, and more snow…

Hey guys! Although it may have seemed like it, I have not fell of the face of the Earth. 
I have been uber busy lately with one thing or another, between work and college the hours just seem to go by lately.
Well now it’s the end of the Noughties and the start of the… Tenss? Teenies? OK I know Teens refer to 13+ but perhaps 2010 – 2012 could be called the Tweenies, you know, the preadolescence stage. I dunno either way it’s a new year, in a new decade! Unfortunately I was working all through Christmas and New Year and on New Years Day I was working for 7am. I had to write the date and didn’t I get into a muddle!?? 01/01/10, 01/10/01, 10/01/01, 01/01/10. HALLELUJAH!!! I know I got it right first, but it looked so wrong I had to re-write it 4 times to make it register.
Even though I was on the rota to work I had a fabulous New Year, I can easily say it was the best one I have ever had thanks to Jim. He came down a few days after Christmas and stayed until the 8th January. He was going to go home a few days earlier but we had really heavy snow so he stayed (Thank you Heavens!! 
) We had a lovely time and each time we see each other the more we get on and the harder it is to say goodbye. The distance is a pain but the feelings I have for him are so strong and I really do want to be with him all the time, and I’m sure the feeling is mutual.
I have exams coming up this week. It has been tough and go because Wales, and indeed, the whole country, has been hit with heavy snow. The roads here are a lot better now thankfully, except the side roads, the paths and pavements are still icy though. The college had been shut all last week and I was absolutely GUTTED because I was relying on that week for revision lessons, the snow really couldn’t have been worse timing. I used to love the snow as a kid, but now as I do a lot of driving I absolutely HATE THE STUFF!!!
Oh well I had better go and study some more. See yaz.
