66 is a pass.
Malone
Yes - but its not good enough yet!
sarah-flute
Yet being the relevant word though, surely? If you really needed a distinction and you hadn't got it, then sad.gif, but getting a good healthy pass mark in a prelim some months before the actual exam is surely a reason for celebration. You have, what, 2 or 3 months to improve? If it's a prelim you presumably get to see the paper and can spot any silly mistakes that you won't make again, plus you have a great chance to see where you have room for improvement... so why the long face?
Malone
You're right, I did alot better than I thought, and the majority of people in my class who got below 50%. I dont need distinction, though the cheque would be lovely! I dont even need to do the theory exam as I did it a few years ago but only scraped a pass and its getting paid for this time round so worth another shot. I think I need it maybe to do my LLCM next year and it would be nice to have at least a merit or something.

I'm here and I'm alrightish. We all went out to the pub yesterday after rehearsal and about 3/4 of us got IDed and had to go, annoyingly (and I'm teetotal as well!). So I stood outside with a friend and let the awkward silence envelope me while trying to make conversation and I'm hoping I wasn't too much of an evil *****.

On the plus side, it's sunny and it's Easter break!

How's everyone else?

Yeah, it's worse when it's for someone's birthday - happened to us at a bar for someone's 18th as well but we were roughly half-underage and half not and we'd all just been to Pizza Hut and had a great time anyway. The best part is that two of my friends got in without ID - because everyone without ID went except them, they somehow got missed! It's annoying that the licensing is such that if you're in there and not drinking you still have to have ID - buying a drink yeah, but just standing there chatting?

It's not so much of a problem now but because so many of my friends are nearly 18 (and I'm nowhere near) it could get tricky later darnit. Bleh.

I'm here and I'm alrightish. We all went out to the pub yesterday after rehearsal and about 3/4 of us got IDed and had to go, annoyingly (and I'm teetotal as well!). So I stood outside with a friend and let the awkward silence envelope me while trying to make conversation and I'm hoping I wasn't too much of an evil *****.


Ah no!! lol that happened to my mate at the cinema the day before her 15th birthday... the thing is the rest of us would have got in (we didn't go in the end...) even though we're younger than her. rolleyes.gif


Yeah, it's worse when it's for someone's birthday - happened to us at a bar for someone's 18th as well but we were roughly half-underage and half not and we'd all just been to Pizza Hut and had a great time anyway. The best part is that two of my friends got in without ID - because everyone without ID went except them, they somehow got missed! It's annoying that the licensing is such that if you're in there and not drinking you still have to have ID - buying a drink yeah, but just standing there chatting?

It's not so much of a problem now but because so many of my friends are nearly 18 (and I'm nowhere near) it could get tricky later darnit. Bleh.


Yeah, doesn't really make sense... And what really gets me is a couple of years ago I went to see a 12A (Harry Potter rolleyes.gif ) with a mate and we both got in even though she looked about 9 and I definately didn't look 18. It's so stupid!!

On the plus side, if you're not going to see a 15 at the cinema and you look younger... Cinema prices are extortionate! I've never been asked for ID though, which is good because I don't usually have it!

I'm the height of a 9 year old even if I'm 13. I would never get in a 12A movie

This is the first time I've EVER seen CISD on the second page. sad.gif

So...um...how is everyone? I'm trying to get away from the madness of being on another forum with mainly American users, where it's still April Fools. They've mucked up the whole formatting of the forum and it *was* funny but is just freaky now. *hides*

*waves and huggles everyone*

Is anyone actually here...?

I'm around!! Actually didn't realise how far down CISD had got sad.gif

I'm OK, actually didn't realise it was April Fools until after lunch rolleyes.gif Only thing is I've been arranging with some mates to come over next week and I just hope they take it seriously ph34r.gif

I was in bed until about 11:22 this morning so I actually missed most of the April Fools Day fun! I love the stuff they have up on Facebook though, because it's fairly American so it's still April Fools Day for loads of people on there, hehe. I'll have to post some of it here in a sec.

Devil_Fiddler - I was really tempted to arrange to meet up with someone today just for the novelty but knew I wouldn't be taken seriously!

Hehe... might have to text them all tomorrow to make sure they don't think I'm joking... and that they weren't joking about coming. Not too worried about the two girls but the guy could well have been taking me for a ride...

laugh.gif Great. lol with the pokes thing I think I feel a new business coming on for some guys at our school... on valentines day they were giving out "Free hug from Terry" vouchers and at the end of this term and last term they were Elves/Easter bunnies handing out presents and chocolates tongue.gif

I know, I loved the mental image of just having someone come round to poke you. The random voucher guys sound very cool - we don't have anyone shameless enough at our school to do anything like that! laugh.gif

What've you been up to, anyway?

Our school's just strange in general - we have chickens who live by the swimming pool as well as rabbits called Victoria and Albert and goats... and the other day the PE was wandering round with some marracas(sp?) wearing a sombrero blink.gif

I've not been doing much, trying to do a decent amount of schoolwork and music practice because I'm camping over Easter and really busy the week after. What about you??

It's official - my school's rubbish sad.gif Your school is scarily cool and we can't compete. Are the chickens named too?

Not much, went shopping as it's my parents' anniversary tomorrow, did a Horn practice, watched Friends and finally sorted myself out with an MSN account, but haven't done any revision or work today (though I'm not sure whether I care about this or not) and still need to sort out meet-ups with two different people.

Aww I'm sure it's not!! And there are bad things about my school... like the fact that it's in the middle of nowhere, which means none of my friends live anywhere near me and we regularly have manure smells drifting round dry.gif Don't know if the chickens are named, I will find out...

I failed, but feel more disappointed for my driving instructor than anything else (1 serious, 2 minors)
organgrinder
Think of the positive things about your driving and i am sure that it will go better the next time for you
katypie
that's really good for your first attempt; on my first driving test I got 3 majors and 9 minors! Granted, I was in no way ready to do the test but even so... ph34r.gif
I'm sure next time you'll pass no problems biggrin.gif
nicki_flute
I hope so. But today, the weather was perfect, it was the Easter holidays, so it was quiet.

The instructor will presumably receive payment when you retake, so I'm sure he doesn't mind too much...

never mind nicki, just don't think too much about your nerves when you are re-taking. it's like the more you drive, the more you feel at home on the road and won't even notice the examiner.

thanks noodlewoodle!
So what's the latest?

My violin is getting slightly better, but I need to practice much more lol...
