what with exams coming up and me (obviously) being behind on alot of stuff, coursework included not just revision, i'm not going to be submitting anything til, at least mid-december. i'm gonna actually try and cut down my DA time to make room for studying. i've found that quite often i'll sit here for hours just looking through my favourites or brousing for something random when i could be doing other more productive stuff.

my dad has also made a deal with me to...entice me to concentrate more in my work:
mock exams, if i get the grades im predicted to get in my mocks, for every exam i get my predicted grade my dad will put £10 into a "hold" (my grans pocket coz i trust her not to spend it) if say i'm prediceted an a* and i get an a or im predicted a b and i get a high c, i'll get £5 for that exam.

then in spring, when i do my actual exams, if i get the same grade as my mocks, i'll get ANOTHER £10 per exam, end if i get a small distance grade below i'll get £5 per exam... etc.

i think i may do a little "sneaky" and suggest that if im predicted a b and get a b in my mocks and then i get an a in my exam tht i should have £15 per exam if that happens.

since i'm gonna be doing around 12 exams, if i pass all of them with my predicted grade, thats £240! i'll be getting come summer! and if i can convince my dad to do the whole "one-grade-higher-£5-more" thing and pass all like that, then thats £360!!! YAY








im not feeling good right now though, telling about the money thing has cheered me up slightly but i'm still not good. let's just say, my jornal skin matches my mood...shall we?
