That’s right I am part of Sophie’s Blog Everyday Challenge for a month. It’s supposed to start on1st of November, but I only knew about it yesterday and plus I didn’t have time to be able to post a blog. So now I do, I will start from today and finish in the 3rd of December. I think everyone should be part of this challenge too.

Anyway, I would just like to say that I start my GCSE Mocks relatively soon, not sure what it’s equivalent in America, but they’re exams taken at the end of year/grade 11- the last year of high school in the British System. But thankfully those are taken around May/June, the Mocks are only trial exams to prepare us for the real thing (if this whole babble confused you, please don’t be afraid to leave me a message on 0805611 and tell me how much I suck at explaining stuff.) So yeah, that means a lot of revision and a lot of skittles and M&M’s (Darn amazing revision food). This also means less time on the computer and less time updating this site, in terms of adding portfolio pieces and resources for my lovely visitors. Those exams start in the 24th of November and go on until 8th of December.

I received my timetable this morning and I was surprised that some of my examinations can go on for two hours! You kidding me, this is slightly out of order! It’s impossible for me to concentrate on something for two hours without and writing continuously without a break in between. How corrupted is the British system?

I have started revision today and I am rather enjoying it, partly because I am learning weird and awesome things every now and then. Do you enjoy revision too? I can talk all about, but it’s currently 1 AM and my brain is slowly switching off.

Updates:

1. New site layout featuring Julia Stiles.
2. 9 new icons.

(Icon me crazy!)

I think people who know me, know that I am useless at coding things, and I love to keep away from it.
Basically me + coding= failure~

When I begin coding, I do it for about 30 mins, which results in me giving up and drifting off to do something else that is more intersting in my agenda. It’s not possible for me to sit down and actually code, I blame my mind that likes to switch off. Any ideas on how I can cope with coding?

Now, I am about to code a layout that I recently made into wordpress and I hope I don’t make a disaster out of it. Continuing the simplicity theme of my layouts, this too is slightly simple. So yerr. I hope you like it when I unveil it. ^^

Afterwards. I hope to add some icons that I made last night.

The world has gone into crisis- we all know what it is. We made jokes of it, we are worried because of it and some of us claim they aren’t affected by it. But, the credit crunch is here and we all know how it’s changing the world for the worst.
So many people have been asking questions regarding this global crisis and I am one of them. Why the heck is it that badddddd?!

I know for sure that it has affected the UK. Just yesterday, I went grocery shopping with my dad and blimey! All the food prices had risen, even my favourite snack (sesame snaps) which I used to purchase for a mere 15p (30 cents for my American readers) has now risen to an all-time high of 30p (if you do the math it’s 60 cents). Sorry for sounding cheap, but now I can’t afford it with the usual change I have. Damn you America.

Yes, I blame the US of A (especially George Bush) and I am glad it’s the worst effected country. That country is so wasted; it makes me wonder why it influences people around the world. I can’t wait for a new presidency to make some changes and to fix the situation down there, because I don’t want to be fighting for the last cheese sandwich in the near future, y’all (if it gets that bad!)

But, the change for the better won’t happen fast unfortunately. (Boohoo!) According to the Finance Blog under the post “Credit Crunch Explained” It states that:

The credit crunch could last a long time. This is because:

1. House prices are still falling in the US, reducing the value of mortgage loans.
2. Many homeowners still face rising interest rates, when their introductory periods come to an end.
3. It can be difficult to regain confidence in the financial markets.
4. A recession in the US and global downturn could cause a further rise in bad loans.

So what’s your opinion? Are you worried sick? Or are you keepin’ it cool as cucumber and not caring much?

And for those who are really worried sick, I hope these credit crunch jokes that I found will cheer you up. =)
