It's over, sort of...

I got in at 10pm after a meal and a nice trip to the cinema with Abi. School is over, but as expected, my body has taken a harsh disliking to me stopping completely.

I knew when i woke up this morning that it wasn't going to be a great day in terms of health etc, i felt rough as old boots, and generally i only get worse during the day. My body's a funny one at the moment, as soon as i feel i can't get any ill-er, it finds something else that can go wron g. And don't think that i'm just over exagerating and being...well...male...about it. 

It's been 9 months and a week since i got a viral infection, i'm being vague about it because no doctor has any clue what it is! It affects my ability to concentrate on everything, i can't do much work, i have hardly any energy etc etc. You get the idea, so today i got normal illness too, glands up, temperature up. Man it sucks.

How come when your temperature is up, you feel colder? Thats confusing 

I forget what my point was, so now its just a moany post. Oh yeah, i've been so tired, now i've stopped, my body dosent know what to do...

(no subject)

It is officially; 65825, 65824, 65823, 65822, 658421, 65820 seconds till i finish for this year. At 9.50am, i shall be a rather happy bunny :)

Today i got an email through from the University of Hertfordshire, about scholarships. The title of the section that caught my eye was

"£3,000 a year with the Chancellor's Entrepreneurial Excellence Scholarship 
This award is designed to support students with brilliant business ideas. As well as the cash, you'll also enjoy expert help and advice to develop your business proposal."

Wow i thought, this years been really quite a toughy (its quite a long, but not that complicated story), and so i thought maybe, just maybe, this might be a bit of encouragement. For anyone who dosen't know, i run a small business selling souveneirs of the local town. www.maldonmousemats.co.uk if anyones interested, it needs updating alot, but you can see the picture that i use, currently i have mousemats, coasters, fridge magnets and key rings. Anyway, i got a little bit excited about the whole scholarship thing, and the email reads on

"You'll need a great idea...."

but apparently it was a little bit premature...as the email reads on...

"and 360 UCAS points to apply."

and theres the catch, i've been pretty ill this year and so 360 UCAS points (3 A's) is very much out of the question. And anyway, whats a good business idea got to do with having 3 A's? Stupid thing. 

End of rant. 

I'm watching Casino Royale in bed right now, i'm a little bit addicted to James Bond right now, i've watched the ones we have at home, plus i'm playing alot (someone say to much) of 007 Nightfire on my playstation. Oh and theres another James Bond game on my christmas list. Woop.

Have a good christmas all!!

God Bless America, God Save The Queen.

Why is it that we can never face our deepest fears, when it is our fears that are the things that are holding us back from great things. 

When we're standing face to face with our deepest fears, whatever they may be, we often turn and run and hide from those things which are the most important to conquor.

I think the problems that we’re going to 

face in the new century are far 

beyond the Wisdom of Solomon, let alone me.

 But I think the right place to start is to say:

 “Fair is far. This is who we are. These are our numbers.”
