I also did some maths today. I actually managed to do a complete answer to a STEP question. This was happifying right up until I realised that actually the q1s on STEP II are easier than the rest of the paper so it wasn't that great an achievement after all.
Yesterday I spent an entire hour talking to Melody. I was waiting for Mrs Kerr to turn up and teach me STEP maths (or at least struggle through some questions alongside me). Needless to say, she didn't turn up. Which was okay, because we got to talk about random roleplaying stuff. In other news, I *really* need to work out how to gracefully ditch this vampire game I've got stuck with.
I started writing some more of Footsteps, after having ripped out all the miserable bits that were turning it into a product of Duenda. (You can ask me on an individual basis if you want me to make this less cryptic.)
I haven't been able to edit my NaNoNovel any more since I realised I had Katalina sitting in Earth orbit for two months. I can't seem to get around this tremendous continunity hole. (In fact, that's more like two months and three weeks, because it takes Cassy quite a while to get back across the Wilderness, as it should. Walking halfway across Africa on foot *shouldn't* be instantaneous.)
Ah yes. Tesseret Leafwalker. I'd get around to scanning her right now, only my folder's downstairs and my parents would ask questions. It's not as if you're missing much; you all remember that I can't draw, right? Right.
Friday evening we went to the Royal Institute; this was the last thing we had booked up, and I don't think my parents are going to let me go to anything next season because of exams. I'm beginning to not hate London. It's strangely fascinating. I want to go explore it. In the company of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
painispretty and possibly foreverdirt, that is; otherwise I'd just get mugged, because any time I'm alone amongst people I have 'victim' written all over me. (The lecture was about quantum weirdness. It was quite entertaining and there were lots of pretty graphics, but it didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know from reading New Scientist. I did a lot of animated explaining-to-parents afterwards, though, which was fun. Also, we had fun parking; the spaces we usually use were all taken, so we pulled up somewhere and then I pointed out that there was a sign saying 'No Parking - Tow Away Zone', so we moved on and asked this guy with a Russian accent in the Russian Language Information Centre if we could park outside there, and they said we could. Then when we got back to the car this guy stopped behind us and signalled to take our space (because even that street was parked up by then) and we had to tell him we'd be a while because we had to work out where the heck we were, and he agreed to go around the block after beeping us a lot, and he had a Russian accent too, so we think there was something on at the Information Centre and the guy thought we were going to that. And someone else took our space before he got back, too.)
I can't remember what I did on Wednesday. I think 'putzing around online' may have featured highly. I know I lost part of the week to Insaneaquarium, which is a miserable little game that claims to save your progress and then doesn't. I won't link to it because it will eat your brains, and I'm saving them for my army of technicolour mutant zombies. I know that I stayed up too late on Wednesday because I had the day off on Thursday, and then managed to wake up at 7am on Thursday anyway. (In fact, I almost always wake up at 7am unless I've been up *very* late. It's just that often I can't motivate myself to get out of bed at that time, preferring to review my dreams and stay in the warm.)
I suspect nothing much happened on Tuesday, either. Actually, I went driving ('properly') on Tuesday until 6pm, so there wasn't much time for things to happen after school, and I had a free first thing so I mostly did the sleeping thing.
Oh yes, the net was down at school on Friday morning, but thankfully it'd fixed itself by the time I needed it. I spent about an hour tormenting four people trying to do their Chemistry coursework, using only an elastic band and a piece of string (the board marker felt tip didn't count because they were quite entertained by that). I maintain it was Vikki's fault for having a belt with such convenient holes in. The random phrases that I will extract from that hour for your viewing pleasure are 'Vodka mushrooms!' and 'Mnh, nobody else has any convenient holes. It's most unfair of them.', both of which caused much hilarity at the time. I did this because I thought the net was still down, but when I made it to the Pod I found Melody happily failing-to-post-to-Rondaks (she was making yet another pretty sorceress type to submit to another game).
This is quite an impressively long rambly post, but there's no real overriding theme; it's just several days worth of posting. So it'll stay un-lj-cut. (Especially now B'weg deleted his LJ, and he was the only one who complained about long rambly postage.)
