Random Thoughts

Tsk, stereotypes. It's more the parents who want their children to be stuff like that.

I never really played cricket - I did play, until it got banned in my school when I was in Grade 6, and the serious training only started in Grade 5, so was disappointing. I was an opening batsman, but I was generally chosen for my fielding. The ban eventually forced me to switch to football, athletics and swimming in school. Dubai is quite horrid, school-wise, in terms of facilities.

Its just your school trust me

Yeah but it is a conditional offer. I need to get BBC grades to get into my first choice uni, Lincoln, and BCC to get into Derby.

All the best students get BBC

ABC.

I should have turned up to general studies and purposefully tried to get a D so I could get a bit more of the alphabet going on.

I plan too. Although that would be hoping it remains in the cinemas for a few weeks.

Massive Headache atm, had Physics practical today, and due to the resistors not being connected probably, it wasted 20 of my minutes. I did recover though to end the paper 5 min before time. Unfortunately have got Maths (Stats) tomorrow, followed by Pure Maths and Physics Structured Questions both on Friday. I hope I somehow get through this week

I live in Nottingham and according to a few people Russell Crowe's Nottinghamshire accent is just dreadful. Probably won't go and see it or buy it on DVD. Nothing beats the Disney version anyway

...I've heard it sounds Irish...

 

[pcfan123]

Well the accent alone is not enough to turn me off, especially since Im not even sure what a Notts accent is supposed to sound like. I just really liked the Robin Hood stories and the Kevin Costner version was awful, just wondering if this one is any better

Lol, now you started it Treva, all the Indians are going to come rushing telling us that if we don't end up being doctors or engineers we are failures :laugh

It's true. Finals week has killed me so far, I have a chem exam tomorrow, AP Physics and AP Calc on the same day thursday...bunch of papers to write too. Have finished my biggest formal lab though, of the Magnus Effect in baseball (but I truly wanted to know how it worked in spin bowling) - a whopping 28 pages.

neither do I.

 

[Themer]

Neither do I and I'm from Notts.

Didn't know we had that much of an accent but then again we probably do just don't realise it.

Is the Magnus affect in spin bowling drift? or dip?
