The hour of judgement August 13, 2008
Posted by Sharny in : Life,School , add a commentIn less than 12 hours I’m going to have my A level results in my hands. Nothing so big in my life has rested on one thing in the way this is. Although there are plenty of other people accross the country in an almost identical position to me I still am very alone with this, none of my friends have quite the same pressure on them. Sure, GCSEs have importance but they are much more flexible, if you don’t get quite what is asked of you often you will be allowed in anyway, perhaps with more terms.
Having known this feeling of dread ever since my last exam, never has it been greater than now.
There is a huuuge ramble potential for this post but I’m going to have to restrain myself. Ultimately, nothing I can do can change my results (at the moment, I could get a re-mark) and it’s not like there is anything I need to know about what will happen if I do/don’t get my grades.
I’m just gonna try and get some sleep and hope beyond hope that this will go my way…
Crazy days June 22, 2008
Posted by Sharny in : Life , add a commentFriday was a pretty intense day. I’m not going to go into any sort of detail because that wouldn’t be fair for those involved.
This post could have been filled with talk of slip n slide water fight fun but as it happened the day turned a different way.
Things were left in state that threatened our friendship group, something that has brought me much happiness of the past few months. I’m hoping that given the circumstances of the day things will return to a close to normal situation shortly although things may never be quite the same.
The Penultimate Day June 18, 2008
Posted by Sharny in : Life,Misc , add a commentThis is the day before my last exam. By tomorrow lunch time all the worrying, the procrastination and sporadic work will be over and I must simply wait. Wait to find out my fate, to find out what I have the horrible feeling I already know the answer to.
I really don’t like this feeling…
Alchemy Mastered… June 10, 2008
Posted by Sharny in : Druid,Gaming,Gear,Paladin,World of Warcraft , add a commentI just hit 375 alchemy on my main character. I decided to do this as I’ve not really had a crafting profession for so long and also because I had read that the trinket is so good that BT/Sunwell guilds have healers dropping other professions to get it. Thankfully its also probably the cheapest crafting profession to level, at first I gathered herbs on my druid alt (who dropped mining to get herbalism) and used them to level but once I hit 300 I would need Outland stuff exclusively and a 59 druid became a bit useless. All in all I am about 1000g poorer than when I started, not too bad really.
The only problem now is that I don’t have the reputation with Sha’tar to get the recipe for the alchemists stone which I would then turn into this Uber trinket. Looks like I’m in for a lot of Tempest Keep instance runs…
ChrisH6 Woo! June 5, 2008
Posted by Sharny in : Internets,Misc , add a commentMy chum Chris has decided to revive his blog which, despite its small number of posts, certainly beat this one in terms of outside comments. Of course, this was because he posted pictures of a “UFO” he saw on holiday and we added it to stumble upon. It’s quite entertaining reading the comments, I hadn’t actually realised that anyone had looked at it at all until recently. Surprisingly convincing.
As a side effect of his blog revival I will most likely mention him by name now when talking about general events, I tend to shy away from naming people on here but actually it doesn’t make much sense. This is definitely my blog (as in, me the British citizen with a passport and a bank account) and I don’t really hide that so keeping these names hidden is a bit silly.
Of course, now it’s on to see who can gets the most readers!
No, that’s silly. No one should read either of these blogs. Just go home. Unless of course you are our friends, in which case you are allowed to stay but you don’t count anyways.
Dream Onslaught May 28, 2008
Posted by Sharny in : Life,Misc , add a commentI seem to be under assault from dreams at the moment. Everything from random and wacky through epic adventures to life lessons. It all seems to contribute to feeling really crap in the morning. Particularly this morning, where my dream was filled with things that I would love to happen and that when I awoke it felt a bit like having it all ripped away.
Of course, these dreams are pretty typical in that they don’t shy away from blatant references to things that I have seen or felt, for example whilst I was with some wanted fugitives adventuring from a pub in the west country we had tracked down enemy and criminal (who incidentally, had no arms) to a field when a load of police cars pulled up and I feared my companions had been caught but instead they all just rushed into the field to capture the person we had found. This is probably a reference to a video I saw the other day of some thieves running our of a shop they had just robbed and getting into a car when a load of cops appear and all rush into the building whilst the robbers calming drive away.
This post is pretty pointless, I have nothing to conclude from all these dreams happening, only perhaps that I am in a great state of emotional change as I shift between phases of my life. Of course, depending on your psychological viewpoint you could say these dreams mean nothing or they mean everything however that is part of module 4 and as my exam in 2 weeks is on module 5 I don’t want to fill my mind with such distractions.
