DREAM LOG: AUGUST

11th August: Fush the Fish.

Dad got really cross at Jared and threw him into the fish bowl. Poor Fush was so shocked he inhaled lots of oxygen and exploded. :(

12th August: Beck is my Best Friend.

(I think the physiological exam result stress is kicking in right now)

I received my results, which were ACD, which I was very pleased with. However, my main motivation was to tell David Beck. Yeah, the one in our year. Our conversation was like this:

Me: Hey Beck! Wanna hear my results?

David: Hey, nah not really.

Me: Aww really! Awk please, I want to tell you!

David: Um no Claudia, I’d rather not know.

Me: But it’s exciting, please!!

David: Enough of this, leave me alone!!

Me: But I’ll miss you and everyone now!

David: Lol...I don’t care.

Me: When are we meeting up?

David: ??? What? We don’t hang out, we hardly know each other!

Me: But we always hang out in the summer - please let me tell you my results!

22nd August: Perverted Dream.

So for some reason I had a Fused meeting to attend. When I arrived at a completely random building there was only four of us there. However when I sat down there were many third and fourth years at their S.U Weekend sitting in sleeping bags round the edge of the room. Also saw Mr Chestnutt there.

Emma appeared out of nowhere and invited me to a sleepover for her, Kerri and myself. We all sat down in the toy room - there were many faces I didn’t recognise - and we were discussing what to do. I suggested getting our toe-nails painted professionally but both Emma and Kerri already had that done. We thought it a better idea to just paint our nails here because that made it a more a traditional sleepover party.

I think I had to go home to get sleepover stuff, so I excused myself and immediately arrived in my own house. It was then that I realised The Wanted - yes, the band - were staying over at my house!

I think this dream was a poor attempt to think logically, because my next action was to take a shower and wash my hair because that would mean it wouldn’t matter if my old nail polish chips because I’m getting my nails painted afterwards.

Here comes the weird bit - when I walked into the bathroom 4 of The Wanted were there in towels. They put a plug into my shower drain and were filling the water up like a bath!

I asked Nathan why they were all bathing in a shower together and he told me they save water that way and insisted I join them. (?!?) Emma and Jared then knocked on the door and asked for everyone’s glasses to be handed over to them incase they get broken. (It was then I noticed Siva had D&G glasses - swoon!)

So some of us (note, some of us?!?) changed into swimsuits to hide our modesty but the weird thing was when we all went inside the shower the shower was as wide and the water was as deep as a normal bath. May I add the water was also very cloudy looking so I couldn’t see anything I didn’t want to see.

My next intentions were to ask Siva out but Emma got very cross that I wasn’t at the sleepover and made me feel guilty. I also felt guilty and immoral remembering the meeting I was at in the beginning of the dream.

Unfortunately it was then that I woke up. SIVVAAA - drools.

Three dreams that I can remember in 31 days? Pitiful! That’s worse than July’s.

SI SI SI SEÑOR!

Don’t read me - I am boring.

Yah!

Quick update, last Thursday I got my A-Level results! Y’know, the important exams that decide if I’m into university or not.

Well guess what! I’m going to University of Ulster in Coleraine! Hooray!

My results were CCC - which I thought very impressive since I consider myself as a bit stupid. I honestly thought I was going to fail English this year, although technically I did since I got DD in my two exams, but that’s beside the point because it’s a C overall.

I’m in no way disappointed with these results, because Upper Sixth, despite being my favourite year of school socially, was a nightmare studying for.

Seemed like everything I worked for went wrong, by the end of it I lost hope knowing it wasn’t going to go well anyway.

What puzzles me most is the fact that I received a D in my coursework part of my art, which I was convinced was the best piece of artwork to date. It made me rather angry, but still confuses me. It’s not the end of the world though, just is annoying because I slaved over it for months.

RealIy should praise God for the unexpected but pleasing grades I was awarded with. No complaining here, no sir!

Don’t think it’s sunk in yet. The whole university thing. Think I’m just gonna take it as it comes.

Like I said, boring post.

RESULTS

Ahoy,

I got my AS results yesterday!

Art: B

I.C.T: B

R.E: B

English Lit: C

Like I said before, I was calm about the whole thing. The entire time I was just curious to see how I done. I know it only matters a little this year, compared to other A-Level people who were also in collecting results, but to be truly honest I had a wave of panic as I opened the brown envelope.

The results sheet was so confusing this year, I was expecting a sheet with just a pile of letters on it. But for every module in the subject you got a grade too. So I nearly pancrapped when I thought I got a D in English Lit! Then Ingrid Perry, the local photographer came over to take our photos with our envelopes before I had read the rest of my sheet! So if you see me in next weeks Mourne O looking a bit scary/alarmed, please understand to how I felt at that moment.

So I predicted that I would get A, B, C and D. I dare say I done better because I didn't get a D, but then again I didn't get an A in art either. I'm generally pleased with my results, but I haveno idea how I even passed R.E. My main worry is English Lit here. I only scraped a C and I plan to keep it on next year, so I might struggle with it.

In school, they post the list of students who got the 3 highest grades in every subject. A crowd of people were gathered yesterday seeing if they 'beat' the others in their class (It's just like Junior school all over again with class places!) I instantly judged them, because there's no way I would have came top in anything, so I just didn't care. I was talking to Amy when Jordan came over and said "Claudia, you're first in art!"

There's only six people in my art class, and to be honest, it wasn't fair to give us places, especially when all our pieces were fairly similar. Sarah McC worked the hardest, her work was class, so I don't think I deserved it for my crappy Asian artwork.

But I have to admit, I was really pleased. :)

Oh, and I hope Jules doesn't mind, but it shows my first in art on the photo she took of her own class places. Look there's me at the top! *proud*

No letters for a few days, I'm going to stay with my Uncle Gordon in Belfast until Sunday. I don't have any stored in my Mac either.

- See you in a few days!

22. SOMEONE YOU WANT TO GIVE A SECOND CHANCE TO

I’m sorry, I can’t think of someone for this. :(

SO INSTEAD, I'll provide a quick crappy update of my life.

So. The summer's nearly over. It's been so good, I've done so much I just need another summer to recover. Even though I've been off for nearly 3 months, it's gone very quickly. I don't want to go back to school! (Wonder what I'll be saying this time next year?) I can't be bothered starting to do any proper work again, especially English Lit, I really don't like it. And I.C.T is so gay, it will be worse this year because we have got different teachers. Thankfully I'm dropping R.E now. It was awful last year.

And my AS results will be out next Thursday. I'm not perturbed about that at all, I'm just curious to see how I've done. My guesses that I'll get A,B,C, D. (Secretly wouldn't mind that, that would be so cool!)

A- Art

B- I.C.T

C- English Lit

D- R.E

I'll let you's know next week if I am right in my predictions. :)

Another thing. I am in debt! I work one day a week and I still can't manage to save a penny. I owe my Granda about £100 from using his Visa Card on buying stuff online. And I owe Jared money (£10) because I'm always meeting friends. Unfortunately Jared is a complete scrooge and asks for the tenner everyday. I still haven't paid so hopefully he'll eventually forget about it.

I have watched so many films this summer too. When I finish this letter meme I shall post a list of all that I have watched. It's wonderful having so much spare time.

I've also fallen in love with this drama called IRIS. Unsurprisingly, it's Korean. But don't judge it or my biased self because of that, because it's a spectacular show. It stars Byung Hun Lee, who also was Stormshadow in the film version of G.I Joe. He's what triggered me to start watching it. So each episode is about an hour long, and it starts with Kim Hyun-Jun (BHL) being told to go on a mission to shoot the North Korean Leader (Controversial, I know!) Eventually, after this mission is complete, he makes an escape, but gets shot and is wounded. He soldiers on and phones his boss at NSS (National Security Service) who he asks for help because he cannot return home due to his injuries. It then flashes back to a few years ago, to when he was apart of the National Forces (army I'm guessing) and attended college, where he meets a girl called Choi Seung-hee. The more you watch, the more it makes sense basically.

It's really not something that you explain, but I recommend that you have a look at the first episode here.

I later discovered T.O.P from Big Bang also makes an appearance as the mysterious assassin who kicks everyone's ass. He's what makes the show so damn awesome! I've watched 3 episodes of the show now but I'm dying to watch more! I really want to order the box set, yay :)

I joined the Facebook page for Drama IRIS and regrettably skimmed through the posts and saw spoilers!! I was annoyed at this, because I know what happens to T.O.P. But aw well.

Another thing my geeky self finds funny would be MACROS. Recently I joined tumblr, to see what the big deal was. Essentially, it's blogger for people who want to post pictures and crap all the time instead of taking the time to write entries. So it suits me fine, I'll post less Korean stuff here now and post it there instead. Here is my tumblr account, follow me if you wish.

Oh yes, Macros. Well maybe my sense of humour has gone out the window, but now-a-days I find these silly images the funniest things ever. According to Wikipedia, it is "An image macro is a picture with superimposed text, often for humorous effect." I found a tumblr site filled with kpop related ones, probably macros have been around for ages, but I've only discovered them lately!
