Let's see if I manage to add a picture this time. I though this one was really funny We put this pic on our biology presentation on how the global warming affects the Arctic. In order to fit the context, I wrote the word "melting" in red on the sign. At least our presentation wasn't as boring as everyone else's

And finally a quote, let's have a very simple one by Francis Bacon: "Knowledge itself is power." Today in our Theory of Knowledge lesson we concluded that knowledge doesn't actually exist, which obviously strengthens that quote.

Hello everyone!

I'm sorry I haven't showed any signs of life lately. I've been quite busy with school and also I've been waiting for some of the bugs caused by the new layout to be sorted out (I had problems accessing the site in the first place on my laptop). It looks a bit better now so I'm going to try to be on as much as possible. And as it looks like this blogposting has been made a bit easier again, I was planning on starting the picture of the day thingy but I'm not able to add pictures; I am able to get the picture to appear on the screen when I create the entry as well as in the preview but when I try to submit the entry it says: Errors: Tag img may not have attribute title. Does anyone know how this can be solved? I thought also about sticking in a quote of the day whenever I can find an interesting one.

As I said, I've been quite busy with the school but I don't find it that horrible because I usually quite enjoy working and all my subjects are very interesting. I especially enjoy Literature in which we are currently studying Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Selected poems by Sylvia Plath and The Hearing Trumpet by Leonora Carrington.

Oh yeah, I watched Ring Two the other day with my friend. I was surprised to find that it was as good as the first one (I tend to find sequels worse than the originals), in fact I could not decide which one I liked more. The scene with the deers was really fake though, we were laughing so much at that. My friend was also commenting on how car windows are not supposed to break in the way they did (he's a guy and obsessed with cars and bikes). For some reason I prefer watching horror movies with guys rather than girls because most girls overreact and start screaming and hiding behind your back which I find a bit annoying. My problem is that when watching films with friends, I often keep talking throughout the film commenting on stuff and some people find that annoying.

The next film I'm planning on seeing is The Exorcist. My mum gave me permission to watch it with a friend even though it's rated 18 as I convinced her that it is an 80s horror movie and that it can't be that scary compared to all the special effect stuff which teenagers are used to today (my mum tends to be quite strict with age limits). I watched a few clips of the film in YouTube and I did find it quite scary at the moment of watching. However, it did not have any longer time effect and I watched it all the time as a film (i.e. my imagination did not start running wild and thinking that a crazy girl will attack me from behind the next corner). The storyline and the film itself seem to be very good and I can see even after only seen a few clips, why it is considered to be the horrorfilm.

And the quote of the day would be...hmm...yeah, this is from The Hearing Trumpet by Leonora Carrington and the character is a 92-year-old woman called Marian: "My memory is full of all sorts of stuff which is not, perhaps, in chronological order, but there is still a lot of it."

I haven't been very active due to the fact that my school started on Monday. Already on the first week we've had a maths test and at least four bigger pieces of homework (I know this is nothing compared to the workload we're going to get when we get going properly). The schooldays are really long, the longest possible being from 9.00 to 16.30. We have a one-hour lunch break though and at least ten minute breaks between each lesson (the building is really big due to around 4000 students studying there, so you may well take 10 minutes to walk to your next room if it happens to be on the other side of the college).

Anyway, I didn't end up doing those subjects I originally chose because on the first day I found that the French-Italian combination was impossible (and they so couldn't inform me about that before...) so I decided to do History instead of Italian. Then, after a history lesson, I realised that my Psychology is clashing with the History. So I asked about that and I was told that Chemistry-Psychology-History combination is impossible. So to sort this problem out in the simplest way possible, I decided to switch from Chemistry to Biology. I liked the two of those equally much anyway so it didn't matter that much to me. Oh yeah, and today I found out that I'd been in the wrong maths set for the entire week. Apparently the maths staff had thought that a person in my name didn't exist or something. They never made the connection between my face and the name. It was quite funny actually.

Over all I've really enjoyed college so far; I've met lots of new people and I think I'm going to make many new friends on the longer run.

My ambidexterity training is going well and at the moment I'm able to write legibly with my right hand when I cut the speed to half that of my left. I've also tried to do as much stuff as possible the other way round to what I usually do. You have to concentrate on things you never actually think about, for example which hand you press the space bar with when typing, which hand you pick up things with, which hand you brush your hair with, which way you take CDs out of their cases etc.

I probably should start something regular like a countdown or quote of the day or something. I'm going to think of that for the next blog. The weather is very strange here: it was really cold in the morning, it was nice and warm in the early afternoon, it was just raining extremely heavily a minute ago and now it's nice and bright again
