Hectic.

I am absolutely exhausted! I think it's a combination of having a cold, having a very busy week last week and being in need of the Easter holidays!

Last week was crazy because I had my Brain and Mind midterm on Wednesday (40 MCQs, a diagram of the brain to label and 10 essay questions), I had to finish and publish my website (which led to a ridiculous amount of stress due to childishness) and because I had an assignment due in. Now to elaborate on the brackets! Brain and Mind went well I thought, it probably could have gone better, there were quite a few things I was unsure off/didn't know, but it also could have gone a lot worse. The website stress was because part of the assignment is grading the rest of your group, with 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% or 0% and they then receive this much of the final mark. It's there to stop people getting grades they don't deserve, however the fact that each group submits one sheet, and thus everyone has to decide on a grade can cause arguments amongst childish individuals. Ours ended up with two group members not speaking and one wanting nothing to do with the other, ridiculous. And definitely a case of 6 of one and half a dozen of the other I feel.

I did however have a very nice Friday, Mum wanted me to blog my day so here it is! Will went to his morning lecture whilst I finished off my assignment and then we made a picnic in the kitchen, consisting of numerous sandwiches, crisps, yogurt and angel cake. =] Then we got in the car an went to Tescos for petrol (me still not knowing where we were going!) I managed to guess halfway there that our first stop was going to be Church Bay on Anglesey, sadly it was raining so we had to eat our picnic in the car, but oh well I didn't mind. Then when we were done for food it was off to the next stop with each of my questions being fended of wish non-informative answers! Turns out our destination was Anglesey Sea Zoo! I had great fun, and your ticket is valid for a whole week so who knows maybe we'll pay another visit to the fishies. Then we just went for a little drive in Llanberis and ate crisps whilst looking at a rather foggy Snowdon. Then we made an awesome roast dinner, really really good. I made gravy from scratch! Mum has trained me well! =P We had roast chicken cooked in butter, garlic and white wine, with roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots and courgettes, and there was even some leftovers for my lunch the next day!

So a very good end to a rather busy week. =] Still succeeding on lent, but who knows if I'll make it, I'm struggling a little bit now! And in just under 3 weeks I'll be back home!
