<---just spent another 6 hours out in the sun (and shades in some place) at wildwood nature park....ARGH

The good thing is that I don't have to go to that freaking place any more - the bad thing is that I have a looong coursework to write about, on that place :laugh:

but having spent a total of roughly 18 hours over 3 days there, I can pretty much say I know its layout inside out xD but it's a farm, NOT a nature park. It's got chickens, ducks, sheep/goats, horses, cats and rabbits!! If it wasn't for the owls and lynxes and wolves, it is a farm >:-(

And I think I burned my nose under the sun xD

Argh, now I have to try and beat that instead of doing my homework ::)

Sounds nice Katzie, are you going back to school or are you on holiday already? Are you going to any open days this week? I apparently have lessons, but 2 out of 3 of them didn't turn up today :laugh:

Maybe they've forgotten how to teach...

"so close" lol Keep going Zippy, you got unbelievably close.

I work on a country nature park place thing Kat. And I was in the sun the whole time (apart from a couple of drinks breaks) and it was really tough. Far too hot to be doing hard work outside. Was quite nice but the heat did get too much at times. I've borrowed my Grandma's fan for my room. Be jealous everyone, be jealous. :laugh:

Ben1987 · **Posted:** Wed Jul 01, 2009 7:17 pm

Oh no! You've beat me now! :laugh:

HUGE score. Well, I like the competition Zippy. I won't be on the computer 'til tomorrow but tomorrow evening... :;):

Ben1987 · **Posted:** Wed Jul 01, 2009 9:03 pm

Haha. It's a cool fan. :;):

Very cool. :laugh:

What u do with friends ricky?

You stopped trying to beat my bowling score? Try and beat another.

Gotta go. Watching programme on NASA on BBC2. Just started. Very, very interesting.

Ben1987 · **Posted:** Thu Jul 02, 2009 6:45 pm

Hmm... Like i said in the comment box thing: "I have to say Zippy, you have a good score there. You know i'll beat you soon though... :;):

" And i will.

I'm getting closer! :laugh:

Got Kasabian tickets booked today for November at Nottingham Arena. Their first arena tour... i think.

Ben1987 · **Posted:** Thu Jul 02, 2009 8:09 pm

Zippy.

Katzie · **Posted:** Thu Jul 02, 2009 8:10 pm

I wouldn't say wildwood was fun (ack, I am SICK of plants xD) but at least no school! And yes ginger, I've still got school :( although we aren't learning anything new in physics yet as lessons are too scattered, but we're making aspirin and esters in chemistry and doing our A2 coursework in biology (eurgh!). Just went to UCL open day today and it was very disappointing :( the day was hot (not UCL's fault xD) and the lectures weren't that interesting, and the campus not that amazing either. I kinda wished they'd told us more about the school and the things you can do there :/ going cambridge open day tomorrow, which should be great...maybe.

Ben ~ :laugh:

Again due to my lack of music knowledge, I haven't heard of Kasablan - what are they like?

Ben1987 · **Posted:** Thu Jul 02, 2009 8:17 pm

I saw Kasabian recently Kat. Remember when i spoke of the mad, slapping himself man in the crowd next to me?! :laugh:

They're a bit mad Kat, the band. In so far as they have rocky songs and slow songs and weird songs and sometimes you get all that in one song. :laugh:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNZgKxHo ... re=related They would have made it 3 weeks at number 1 if it wasn't for Michael Jackson. This is my fave song on their most recent album actually: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZfwASfz ... re=related

Grr Ben

It was so unbelievably boiling today! And I must be completely burned up after wandering around Oxford all day for the open day

It was nice though, and I really liked the college I'd booked for... not that I want to get any hopes up in any way, I hate how competitive it is!

Rickyp · **Posted:** Fri Jul 03, 2009 1:08 am

aww ginger, it has been hot but least it will b cooler at the weekend. are u suprised its so competetive :laugh:

it is oxford lol.

Is anyone here on Twitter? or does anyone know if Niamh has a Twitter? as i found someone on there claiming to be her!

Of course I'm not surprised, but it's still depressing!

Hmm... I wouldn't be too surprised if it is, especially as it's on a private setting.

Rickyp · **Posted:** Fri Jul 03, 2009 7:58 pm

thats what i was thinking ginger. well i have requested to follow her so if she accepts we will find out.

Katzie · **Posted:** Fri Jul 03, 2009 9:54 pm

Eeeee I LOVE CAMBRIDGE!! The campus is amazing, the dorms are amazing, the courses are amazing - and there is an Assassin's Guild and a Winnie the Pooh fan club!! Just for the club, I would go there xD and there is a simply humungous library with allll the books ever published in this country (what, 30 million books or so?) as well as many foreign ones that were requested by students. I'd happily spend the rest of my life at Cambridge's library, sleep, eat and read there until I die xD it's AMAZING!! But I hate all the competition. Maybe I SHOULD join the Assassin's Guild, just to erase me some competition xD

I feel your pain katzie :laugh:

So do you think you're applying there then? Have you picked a college?

Katzie · **Posted:** Sat Jul 04, 2009 11:10 am

Hell yeah

I'm definitely applying there! I only saw Christ's and Jesus but Jesus seems awesome, and Christ's was really good too! The ensuite at Christ's is a cupboard-toilet-shower xD looool and I like Trinity too, simply because it's elitist...elite college at elite cambridge - woo!

Ben1987 · **Posted:** Sat Jul 04, 2009 3:33 pm

I keep making stupid mistakes on Mario. I know i can get a much bigger score. I have the first few levels sorted, need to practise the ones after a bit to stop the stupid mistakes.

Rickyp · **Posted:** Sat Jul 04, 2009 10:25 pm

thats cool Kat! i hope u get into cambridge! :laugh:

gingerbread · **Joined:** Fri Jun 20, 2008 10:19 am **Posts:** 828

The elitist colleges freak me out, I mean it's oxbridge so their all elitist, but these especially

I think my friend's applying to Trinity for english though

And I just saw that message Ben, you can bet your highscore won't be the top for long ::)

gingerbread · **Joined:** Fri Jun 20, 2008 10:19 am **Posts:** 828

Ben! I swear to God I just played mario for about 2 hours and got a score of over 70,000!!! Then it told me that I'd apparently been logged out due to the time :mad:
