Catch up Session :)

So I haven't blogged in a while so thought i should probably catch up with everything. I'm gonna split this blog into sections of stuff so if u get bored u can just skip to the next bit :)

First has to be the sport and last weekend went quite well. No hockey so i wasn't involved in anything myself but Rangers and Newcastle both won and are top of their respective leagues which is rather good. More importantly Scotland recorded a 9-8 win over the Aussies last Saturday in what was arguably one of the best displays of defensive rugby in the past 10-20 years. It might not be pretty but it seems to suit the Scotland team and this focus should also be applied to our struggling football team. Under Smith Scotland's football wasn't pretty but we got goals when it mattered and defended brilliantly so hopefully when the SFA appoint the next manager they pick someone who knows how our side should play. Unfortunately the midweek football didn't go so well with both Rangers and Liverpool being knocked out of Europe. Neither side deserved to progress so I don't think its that big a loss.

The news has been keeping me rather cheery too. A study in Spain found that drinking lots of alcohol actually managed to decrease men's chances of coronary heart disease. More funny than the study itself was the end of the article on the BBC website where the British Health people had made a desperate attempt to discredit the study like by doing that it was going to discredit the binge drinking society in the UK. Fat chance. I'm getting tired of all these health studies anyway, I swear everything gives you cancer now. How come cancer is so prevalent now anyways? I have a funny feeling its not all down to red meat or other types of food.

School has been a bit useless too a combination of reports, talking to teachers today and the looming threat of exams means I'm starting to feel the heat (and should probably be working instead of writing this). My application should have gone off yesterday so wish me luck, and good luck to those applying now too! Shock horror of yesterday was that I didn't get too stressed running Yearbook for once, finally starting to feel we are really on track and everything is starting to come together. CAS is gonna be a pain, I've not talked to Gwyneth about it yet but apparently we have to do a portfolio on our CAS work and loads of other rubbish which is just irritating. I'm refusing to go do Amnesty, sure I'm for Human Rights and all that jazz but I've committed to Yearbook and that isn't going to change. Not a particularly decent time for them to dump this on us either, it's a week till our mocks for crying out loud. Ok rant over.

TOK presentation was nerve wracking as anything and despite a slight fess up with the order it was all good and thanks to Alek who put up with me enough to get through it without harming me for being a pain in the rear end.

Friday means another futile attempt at Biology that seems to finally be getting gradually better. The three free will undoubtedly be filled with work/revision after a metaphorical kick up the arse from one or two teachers at report day. Saturday means the last hockey match for a while here's hoping we can end it with a win but it's against racing 2 so it's more likely to be damage limitations from the off.

Sorry this one feels like its been quite long but i had a lot to talk about. Have a good weekend everyone and I'll try write about something other than sport next time. Something controversial like suicide, which means talking about Enke the German goalkeeper who killed himself last week...

....damn!
