Since new year i've been having to spend pretty much every waking minute studying for my exams (Thats what i get for leaving it all til after Christmas ) I just made notes of things i had to learn for one topic (which is half of one of my exams and i have 4 exams) and it ended up 21 pages long!!! So i won't have time to go on here for a while (until the 18th of January - then i'll be free!!! ;D) And also i went on the PW shop today and i saw they had the Lycanthropy mug!!! So i went to buy it and it said "There was not enough stock to fulfil your request." Why didn't it say "sold out" then?! And i'm sure it wasn't there before, what's the point of putting up in the store when there's no stock??? (Ok obviously they didn't do that but there can't have been very many.) I really hope they get them back in! Ok that's my rant over Oh yeah and i also have to memorise half the periodic table because apparently giving us a periodic table in our exam is like a plumber coming to your house and asking for a spanner!!!

^WHAT?! half of the periodic table?! that's ridiculous... but you can just give the plumber a spanner and be nice. Examiners are not nice people I guess. The mug was just bad luck! That sorta ties with my major annoyance of today but its my headteachers fault... We now in English have to switch from the AQA board to the Welsh board... We have to compare a poem to romeo and juliet, though we've already done character and theme analysis and my class have already started Of Mice and Men and on the new specification, its a bloody extended piece We've wasted half a year on shite we have to change now anyway! And we are skipping work to do a Speaking and Listening thing which only 7 people out of my class are doing but we have to be postponed as they do it and thats only to assess our teachers. And my Dont Get Me Started piece I started today I dont trust Miss Wallis to keep safe till we do it...* God, I reaalllyyy love my school *I'm doing Hugh Grant because I hate the bastard... Though help would be appreciated so i dont just ramble on how he's a posh twat all the way through it!

eww exams good luck though! Christmas was at it's worst this year...and I'm not joking, it was pure hell some very very nasty days (+ me freaking out...) silvester in Berlin was lovely though but the new year began crappy again I'm really trying to think positive and all, but reality just f*cks with my good intentions... the pessimist in my is feasting over the last months it's even too much for my distorted black humour and sarcasm...and I usually am very good in that field and try to laugh and smile at the stupid stuff that happens in my life...on a positive note: I've got internet access again! at home! and...sorry can't think of more...

thanks ^ awww just think of all the PW gigs this year might bring, that might cheer you up haha, learning the periodic table wasn't actually too bad - we had to know most of the main group elements (which are those big bits at the sides) and it turned out i knew most of the first few rows already. the big long bit in the middle (the transition metals) was harder but we only had to know the first couple of rows. it was only for my first exam we needed to know it so i've probably forgotten half of it now. haha i'm such a geek!

I had to think of you when I was in one of the past weeks in a shop and they had these pencils with the tables over ten (is that the right term?) and stuff on it and one had the periodic table on it as well oh and yes the boy should hurry so I can buy tickets and look forward to the gigs erm and no worries, I'm okay so far...just need time to adjust to a very very different life I have to lead since some months.

okay make that 'what didn't make you day yesterday', but it still lingers in the back of my mind...and quite upset me actually... me and my mum got to the subway near our flat and when we went down there was a big red stain on the stairs and I was asking my mum 'that's not blood, is it?' and she confirmed it was indeed blood...an old man had been beaten up during the weekend by someone...well, he didn't die and all but it still shocked me the antifa and the nazis of our neighbourhood are having some kind of graffiti fight on our housewall by the way...first the antifa sprayed some masked people with baseball bats and the antifa logo on it and some writing saying 'the neighbourhood is ours. piss off Nazis!' (roughly translated) and the next day the word 'Nazis' was made unreadable by someone who took the effort to kind of scrap it from the wall with a knife or a tool...the plaster was somehow violently removed. some days later someone had replaced the missing word...I love our street art well at least we have a politically active neighbourhood

you need to get out of that area! the only thing here that never makes my day is the dog poo that people just leave on the sidewalks -.- (sometimes the bag it, which means, they pick it up in a plastic bag, then leave the plastic bag containing poo on the sidewalk. people! gotta hate them!)

calm down people! sorry to upset you all...it really isn't always that bad here...(and we're looking for a new flat somewhere else no worries ) do you mean the graffiti thing? well in that case no...it's painted over by the houseowner (or at least should be that's what one pays rent for) I have nothing against the antifa making graffities, it's only worrying that there seem to be nazis who are that active that they destroy anti-nazi graffitis...and in the case of that crime: didn't read the news article about it but I presume the police was called afterwards. there are cameras installed in the Berlin subways just not in the entrance areas. okay and some weeks ago someone tried to break in the carpet cleaner business which is in the basement of our house. but that clearly was made by laymen, because they tried to get in there through the house floor doors (which the owner of the place had long barred. the only entrance is directly from the street.) it doesn't get better, does it? okay maybe I should just shut up and stop telling stories about my neighbourhood

ARRRRGH! FRUSTRATION!
I ordered a piece of audio equipment from AVshop, an Amazon store thingy, which I got a while ago. (Amazing little headphone amp/DAC...) Everything was great except that the internal battery refused to charge. So I opted to make a return and exchange it for a working unit.
Posted my return last tuesday and after that everything's gone wrong... I got no reply from the seller about the replacement, despite sending several e-mails. The day before yesterday I sent an e-mail to another of their e-mail addresses. Yesterday I got a reply simply telling me that they had no idea what was going on but would look into it. Of course, they didn't bother with anything and didn't get back to me. Somewhere out there (most likely in the clutches of the worthless DHL) is my £100 package and NOBODY wants to tell me what's going on. GRRRRR!
