Ah, there's no use in panicking, really. You'll find that if you forget something, the chances are the people you're living with will have whatever it is you're missing and let you borrow it until you can go home to get it or buy a new one. =P

I still don't have my own cheesegrater, and we all use the toaster that belongs to one of my flatmates because the one the uni gave us was rubbish. xd I was really worried about people stealing my food, but I live with some really great people, and nobody takes anything without asking. It's a whole lot less scary than I thought it would be.

That is so nice! I know I will get one horrible roommate. During the open day there were a few really stuck up girls. I'm dreading it xD

I bet it won't be as bad as you think. :3 What if you get all the nice girls? XD Be positive! And that way, when you meet them, you'll be less likely to end up disliking each other without getting to know each other. :]

Very true! I hope there is some great chef there xD

Got the death scene down and now moving on to the next part, finalising their relationship and then...the impending doom!

Haha, I hope so too! We have a couple of people in my flat who can cook well, so for birthdays/Christmas/other special occasions we get them to cook for us, and we all put money in for the food. It's great. :3

Gogogo! You can do it! It sounds like things are moving a little more smoothly again now. : D

Oooo PMS that sounds good! Yeah they are moving a lot smoothly!

Today...was busy. Lots of work to do and filming tomorrow after sixth form! Today I stayed behind and expected to have some done extra ICT work but instead I got dragged in by the young student newspaper. They are holding a short story competition and now I am the judge. I may also have to write their literature articles and edit their pieces.

Why do I offer?! xD

Apart from that, I'm about to write! Wish me luck!

Good luck? XD

It sounds like you're really busy - but there's nothing wrong with being busy. :] It keeps you focused, right?

5th February 2010

Thanks PMS! I am veryyy busy and yeah I guess it does keep me focused haha.

Yesterday we were supposed to film the last part of our short movie but my group messed it up and literally made my script into a piece of crap! I was not happy. Along with today, the examiner for ICT is coming in tomorrow and a piece of my work had gone walkies. Aghhhh!!!!

Haven't been able to write, as it's an emotional *ahem* scene *wink, wink* so I have to be in the right mood. However, I will try and tackle that now!

ahh I know how that goes two years ago I had a group project, had to rewrite the ending to a story and I made the script... it was bad... person who was editing it and putting the pictured (we weren't making a movie, we were just using pictures). It was bad... had to play it for the class. My whole group blamed me =/

hope you can fix yours

6th February 2010

Thanks Linda, group projects always get blamed on the scriptwriter, just the group are always the incompetant ones!

Well, it all came together last night. Yesterday I told them how I felt and they seemed to take it onboard. However, that night...everything turned out for the worst. The Director of our group decided to blame it all on me as well as blaming me for lowering the confidence of the group and didn't care if my A Level was ruined by it.

What can you do though?

So, that affected my writing so nothing got done last night. Today, after so much welcome support from my friends, I am writing. I even brought myself a writing magazine to cheer myself up haha.

So...onto writing!

hmm doesn't seem like you lowered anything, I think more you were trying to bust it >.> they just took it the wrong way. You were just telling htem they could do better if they tried...

I'm glad you have friends that help you write again when poeple bring you down... I know how it feels to be told that something you writen wasn't good. =/ Though usually it's not kids lol for me it's my parents o.o so...

I didn't have to do much group work at A level, thankfully, and even the projects I did do, I ended up working with some really awesome people. Same at uni, actually. My only presentations I've had to do with people have been really successful so far. =3

I hope things go okay for you, though.

8th February 2010

Thanks PMS and I wish I was able to work with awesome people, there just aren't many in my Sixth Form.

Today just ended up being the same crap. The group pleaded innocence, which only fueled my anger. Can people honestly be so dumb? I have even thought of dropping the subject now...

Anyway, wrote all my 'intimate' scene yesterday morning before work so that hurdle is over and done with. Next is Zeus then...the huge finale! Wish me luck!

You can do it!!

And, with idiots, sometimes you just have to be patient. Don't let them take the credit for your work, and if they're going to be stubborn, talk to a teacher. I'm sure they will be understanding, and maybe give you some advice on how to handle the others? Don't suffer in silence. :3
