I'm not cheating, I'm just not playing fair.

First off, I know that not all of you readers are from Scotland, so I'm going to teach you some very boring words that you must understand before reading this post.
Prelim - Short for preliminary, it's a test we sit for each of our subjects before we sit the final exam in May/June.
Now that's done and dusted...


There was a cattle auction thingy today (Technical term) on the news this morning at 6.30am, and the farmers were being really weird.


They were using hairspray on their cows.


Mah cow looks like a Goddess.
Look how her udders dangle.

For some reason... I had this guys accent in my head while saying that. 
MUM: Why do they need hairspray?!
ME: For their cows lick!
This made me very proud of myself, nae a bad reaction time for someone who has just woken up from a very shallow, 5 hour sleep!


It was very foggy this morning. Just thought you would like to know that fact.
ME: We could just say that we got lost in the heavy fog and couldn't find our way to school.
PAUL: That works.
Although Paul shouldn't have been worried, cause he had dragonfruit vitamin water. What up?


Dragonfruit.

Now I think about it, Dragonfruit sounds like something that Charlie Sheen would eat. Nom nom nom. WINNING!

ENGLISH PRELIM 

Eek!

I don't know about the rest of the people that sat the exam, but my hand majourly cramped up. 

It was the just the failure that surrounded the whole damn day, it was hilarious!

Three people were caught cheating on their exam. Uh oh.

The funny thing was, they didn't even cheat slyly.

Damn those arrows make it
difficult to cheat nowadays.

Dom had the notes sitting on his knees, Grant apparently had bright coloured notes and who knows what Danny was doing...

Oh, I think it was written on his hand...

That's what I heard anyways.

Mrs Davies and Jonathan were flirting too. Majorly disturbed by that.
MRS DAVIES: Jonathan, shhhh!! I'm going to see you in my dreams!
JONATHAN: Oh, I bet you will.
And biggest fail of the day (other than some of the answers we've written for the exam)?


The fact that the invigilators forgot to give out the exam question paper.


Good one guys, real intelligent.




The best part of the exam had to be when Mrs Fulton came in at the end.


Ewan looks up and gives her a wee grin.


Then they had the most epic silent conversation I have ever seen.

Mrs Davies holds up her hand for twenty seconds in same place.
Mrs Fulton stares at her for a few seconds before rolling her eyes and looks at Ewan.
Ewan laughs silently
Mrs Fulton tries to remain straight faced, shoots Ewan a "Shut up!" face.
Ewan looks scared (fake of course) and then laughs silently again.
MRS DAVIES: Five minutes to go! *hold up hand* 
Mrs Fulton gives the back of Mrs Davies head a "What are you on woman?!" look and everyone attempts to remain quiet, but ends up sitting their, in an exam hall, grinning like idiots.

Why is that, when you are in an exam hall, everything seems so much more funny?!

Me and Megan saw an amazingly cute chihuahua.


Like this, but balder.

DOUBLE BIOLOGY

 Lost ALL respect I ever had for Dr Robertson today... found out that he enjoys Glee...



He has a Doctorate, he's over 40... clearly he's an intelligent chap... what POSSIBLE reason would he have for watching Glee?!

Some Biology banter went down. And Biology banter always rocks.

Even if Claire and Linzie slag me off for watching the My little pony musical on youtube.

Watch it. It's beautiful.

Well... Hayley Williams had it on her tumblr.

I'm guessing that this was her face
whilst watching it.

Also, got informed of something very interesting today.

If someone dies in the middle of an exam, everyone gets an automatic A! 

Win!

...

Well... obviously not a win for the dead guy...

But, for everyone else, yay!
MRS DUNCAN: Question is, who are you going to sacrifice?
NIAMH: Jason.
I swear, Mrs Duncan looked tempted.


After school, we started talking about the Seven wonders of the world.
ME: Isn't the Great barrier reef one?
ABIE: I'm not being funny here, but where is the Great Barrier reef?
ME: Australia.
LINZIE: I'd have been worried if you asked where the Great wall of China was...

Forgetting memory: How ironic.

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN.


Last prelim. For Psychology.


Done today. Means I only had one class (SCORE)


I really wanted to do well in it though cause Dod gave us all a good luck message...
"Hope everything goes well with your Psychology Higher."
I love Dod as much as I possibly can before going into weird creepy mode and turning Dod into a bit of a pedophile.


LE PEDOPHILE!

I think that the prelim went okay. Will tell you for sure next week though. Think I failed the NAB in it but oh well... That's what resits are for.

Everyone else found it kind of difficult. Escpecially the memory section, which they were complaining about not being able to remember...

OOOOOH the irony.

Went down to the Hotbar with Scott, Sara and Lucas (shortly after getting stopped by Mrs Murray for the boys not wearing proper school uniform) and played some Pokemon (in Scott's case).

As said in my previous blog, Kincorth Academy is incredibly tolerant to geek culture. Playing pokemon excessively is not considered to be a bad thing.

Scott has played the game for FIFTY HOURS.

Which, in itself, is quite shocking, but remembering that the game has only been out for six days... 

Turns out, he can identify Pokemon by their noises now....


FREE + ART

The first part of my free period was spent helping Kristina write up rotas for prefects in Mr Hughson's (Depute head) room.

We were interrupted though...
THIRD YEAR: I was dropped in a puddle.
Me and Kristina shoot eachother a look.
MR HUGHSON: Are you hurt?
THIRD YEAR: No, I'm freezing.
He goes to get changed.
ME: I haven't heard that one before.
MR HUGHSON: Believe it or not, I have. 
Went to art after that. Turns out that Kati turned up to do the psychology prelim... at the wrong school.


Woooooooooow.


Cutest thing I've heard all day?
LAUREN: *Looks at Rachel's packet of "Cherry Bakewell tarts"* Oooh! I love the cherries.
RACHEL: I don't like the cherries.
LAUREN: They are the best bit!
RACHEL: I don't like the cherry but I like the bakewell.
D'awww! 


Scariest thing I've heard all day?
ZOE: My dancing coach just texted me saying "I have something for you tonight".
Eeeek!
