Too long.

I don’t really even have anything to say. Every time I think of making a post, I forget to make a note of whatever’s on my mind.

Everything seems to take so much effort at the moment. I have loads of homework to do (Maths, Computing, EPQ. Fun times.) but I can’t really face sitting down for any length of time and working on it. So I’m sat here listening to Last.fm, bored out of my skull and unable to settle or do something useful.

In actual news, I saw Four Year Strong, Ghost of a Thousand, Alexisonfire and Anti-Flag at the Eastpak Antidote Tour on the 17th October. A fantastic gig, I love the energy and the message that Anti-Flag have. It’s even better when you go to see one band and the others are all enjoyable too.

On the 19th, I was supposed to see Billy Talent. However, Benjamin Kowalewicz was ill so the gig’s been postponed. I’ll tell you how it is if I don’t end up choosing a refund though.

Then on Tuesday the 20th (yes, three events in four days. Crazy, moi?) I saw Michael McIntyre live at the MEN Arena. Honestly, I’ve never laughed so hard and I really did need a humour-filled evening. Absolutely all of it was new material and I actually enjoyed the train journeys to and from Manchester.

And I have a party this weekend. Fancy dress. Normally, I don’t do dressing up but I figured I might not have too many chances to just be silly with my current group of friends. The universities rear their ugly heads – some people already have offers lined up! Also, who can argue with drunken fancy dress?

For a post where I have nothing to say, this has actually turned out fairly long. I might post again soon, if anything happens. Not really that likely though, hah.

I have to admit that he was right, thus far. I’m listening to Rumours, an album by Fleetwood Mac. And it’s brilliant, to be frank. I’m really, really looking forward to the rest of the stuff he picked out if it’s all going to be of this calibre. My only complaint is that all of the songs have a fade-out at the end and as such the album feels a little disjointed.

In other news, it’s my last day at work tomorrow (will be today by the time I’ve finished typing out this post) and I can’t believe how quickly the past four weeks have flown past. It seems like no time until I’ll be back in the grind that is A-level education, although I’m looking forward to seeing everybody again.

Between now and then, I have some Computing coursework to do, some Maths (lots of Maths) that I want to learn and the bulk of my EPQ assignment to do. I still haven’t started that: Score one for procrastination. It really does bug me how much of my time gets wasted, but at least I have actually done something useful recently.

Tomorrow should bring ratings for a lot of my music, and hopefully also some progress on the Computing/Maths/EPQ front. Currently listening to The Chain – Fleetwood Mac. It’s a good song.

It’s not even like I’ve been doing a lot, I’ve just not been on my computer a lot. Missing one night’s sleep earlier this week completely hit me for six, and I’ve not caught up on it yet. Lie-in tomorrow though, don’t have to be in until 9:40 (success!).

That said, I honestly see no worth in this last week of 6th form. I’ve done nothing other than miss my coursework deadline in Maths (that said, Sitong hadn’t handed his in as of this morning, and is liable to get 0 marks on his coursework. At least mine was in within four days of the deadline)

Today, I did a grand total of nothing.
Period 1: Skills, was cancelled because there’s nothing to do. Played cards in common room.
Period 2: Maths, printed coursework for Dr. O and did nothing else.
Period 3: Free. Played cards in common room.
Period 4: Further Maths, got some work back and went through a question.
Periods 5-6: Maths. Ate cake and watched “The Story of Maths” (documentary by Marcus Du Sautoy)
Lunch: Played cards in Room 41.
Periods 7-8: Chemistry, cancelled. Wandered aimlessly around school.
Periods 9-10: Computing, cancelled. Collected my A2 textbook and sat doing random maths with Yifan.

And tomorrow I’ve got 40 minutes of travel for a 5-minute interview with my form tutor to receive my report and justify getting Effort 2 (or possibly even 3!!) in Maths and Further Maths (before you ask, I cba with ‘easy’ Maths. So yeah, lack of effort there.)

Other than this, I am ever-so-slightly pissed off. I got a new Halo 3 disk the other day: My brother and I have done Legendary on Co-op. Except when I signed in today, the Xbox 360 had mysteriously forgotten all of my Halo 3 stuff. Everything. So, despite having done every single level on Legendary, I have no achievement for it. Annoyed.

Mostly annoyed because it means we have to do it all again. And it wasn’t exactly easy (admittedly, it’s taken us a grand total of 5 days to do, and one of those was purely on the last level) the first time.

I’ve also been playing some Oblivion, having bought a pre-owned copy to replace my mangled one. Loving it again, mostly doing thiefy-type stuff and assassinating people for The Dark Brotherhood.

But yeah, lots of doing nothing and Xbox 360 while I chill out before full-time work commences on Monday. I’m looking forward to it, just hoping that there’s more of the website structuring than website updating: It’s far more interesting making websites than just adding new content.

That’s about it,
