My left hand smells of bread mould. 
The last time I came into contact with mouldy bread was two days ago...

Oxford Rejection
Posted Dec 24, 2002
Aha! My rejection letter from Oxford University came today! (I went to interview there Sunday 15th to Tuesday 18th December)
I was thoroughly expecting a rejection, because I did absolutely terribly in the interviews, so I would like to say nah nah to everyone who told me otherwise.

Do these things come in threes?
Posted Oct 23, 2002
Very very early (probably around 2am) on Monday my dad's car was stolen. It is a bright yellow G-registration Ford Escort. That's the one I'm insured on... The people who took it then drove around a mile and a mile and a half along an old bumpy farm track and cleared most of our stuff out (except the toolbox and one L-plate) onto the mud, very nearly in a farm yard. (A few hours later the herd of cows walked over it all as they went for milking.) The car was then used as a get-away car in a smash-and-grab job on a local jewellry shop, but although the window of the shop was smashed, nothing appears to have been taken, sop they must have been disturbed. Around 2:30am we got a phone call from the police asking if we owned the car, and could we please check outside. This was the first we knew that it had been stolen. It later turned up somewhere in Brighton on Monday afternoon - and NOT as a burnt-out!
The insurance company have no got our car to have the damage valued.
Monday afternoon, someone (possibly BT) dug a hole up our road, and our phoneline went dead, and has since been dead. There was a BT man fiddling with our wires today, but the hole appears to have been filled in, so I don't know when we'll get it back.
I can't get at my e-mail from the school system, so please excuse me not answering....
So what else is going to happen? 
Anyway, got to run now, I'm five minutes late for maths...

Barrage of journal entries: results day...
Posted Aug 15, 2002
I've got my results for AS-level, as I'm sure a lot of other people have. I don't have an overall mark for Maths because I do Further Maths instead of just normal Maths, so I won't get an overall mark until next year - which will then be a double A-level.
Maths, Pure Module 3: E - 40%. 
Maths, Mechanics Module 1: A - 80%.
Maths, Probability and Statistics Module 1: A - 91% - thank goodness I don't have to do it again!!
Maths, Probability and Statistics Module 2: E - 40%.
Physics: B 
But only four marks off an A. And this was mainly due to my mark in the coursew*rk module, in which our class did noticably worse than the other class - I got the joint highest mark in my class, while quite a few of the people in the other class were getting marks 15% better than mine.
RE: A
Chemistry: A
I'm pleased with all those marks, except Physics. Never was happy with our teachers either, but we're getting a better one next year. (the worst one of the two we had is emigrating! - watch out Physics students in NZ... )
I will most certainly be re-sitting the two Maths modules I got Es in, but for the time being I'm pretty pleased I passed them both!
I won't be re-sitting the RE exam I did in January because I'm happy I'll do well in the modules next year.
And thank goodness I got an A in Chem! As I've dropped it I won't ever have to do it again!
