Pick of the Week: Schoolhouse

12Aug07

This week’s pick is very useful for me personally, as it helps me no end to keep on top of my college work. I also like pieces of software where there is a transparancy between user and developer, it makes the software seem much more personal. It is for this reason that my [...]

That’s a wrap folks!

11May06

Yesterday was my last day at Dixons, if you can call a day 2 hours of laughing at embarressing photos from Year 7. But still, it was quite sad, emotional and such, not that I showed any of that emotion through my steely exterior (lol). You can take a peak at the best [...]

The home stretch

03May06

There is now less than 7 days until I leave Dixons for good (bar exams and results day)! I have pretty much finished every single piece of work that needs to be done, and have started revising and preparing for exams, which start in 12 days, starting with Media.
Looking ahead, I have the longest [...]

Back to Schooool

21Feb06

Well, after a uneventful holiday (apart from Valentines Day, but that’s a different story – and also a private one ) I’m back at school and back into the fray, as it were.  I have my final Art exam, my Design Technology coursework (which is a disaster by the way) and Media coursework to [...]

Exams, Phones and Lyrics

14Jan06

I suppose there are a few things i should have blogged but haven’t so far, so I’ll do them all as one.  Firstly, I’m in the middle of mock exams for my GCSEs (that’s probably why I haven’t been blogging).  I’m pretty confident about them all, but I don’t want to get cocky…  When I [...]
