Friday 24th:
Long day doing nothing at home. Watched a couple of movies as you do, Never Back Down and Evan Almighty, the first being the personal favourtie. Also spent the whole day listening to music, mainly a mixed playlist along with checking facebook every now and again.
Pretty boring day as you can see =)

Media Diary
Weds 22nd October.
Lots of time spent on the computer, mainly practising my theory and doing pe coursework. The most frustrating thing however, is that my handycam (camcorder) won't connect to the computer so i cant import my interview for my coursework >.<
On the bright side i watched a program called 'Extraordianry animals in the womb'. Was pretty incredible and very factual.
Something you probably didn't know which i learned from that program: The movie 'Alien' was influenced by the Parisitic Wasp in that it injects its embryos into a victim where they grow and eventually eat their way out =)

Part 9
Monday the 13th: a media disaster!
A normal day at school once again turned sour when i went to my Media Studies lesson. Don't get me wrong, i love the subject, but the equipment can be so troublesome sometimes :S
After being assigned a short task in which we were to record a simple scene and then edit it focusing on music, my group soon realised that:
1. The video recorder rewound amazingly slowly
2. We couldn't actually get it to record.
After Rono Wellington failed to operate the video camera we had to hike iy back, test several more and then record away.
Eventful day indeed, turned out to be great fun in the end.
Morale of the story is... test your equipment before going out to find it doesn't work :)

Saturday, early rise for the morning row in marlow. A very generous 20km first session from the coach >.<>
After rowing was a fairly relaxed day, spent most the day with the girlfriend watching movies and x-factor ;)
Sunday was possibly the most frustrating and boring day of my blogging history. Parents were away so i spent the whole day at home doing biology homework to my dismay (couldn't find anything for the topic i had to research). Accompanied by music the whole day, various artists, kept me sane.
Monday the 6th. Good day at school, informative talk from Grant about honey bees and the environment. The highlight of the day had to be making a little movie scene in media. After publicly embarassing oursleves outside of tesco and in the car park, we managed to put together a saucy little number.

Part 7
Wednesday 1st october, the new month has finally come. Today was a pretty standard day like others, listened to the ipod in the car on the way and way back from school. We had the joy of writing a letter to a made up character called Uncle Ebenezor about franchises in Business Studies. From around 7 until 9 the computer came into action for homework, facebook and music.
Thursday was an eventful day indeed. After receiving a fantastic powerpoint on Media Institutions, we explored our trampolining skills in PE. Next came Fives and then a 30 minute wait for the school bus to take the swim team to Mill Hill, which, in the end, was cut short due to the fact that they were running late. Home at about 8 and straight into some research about sony whilst mellowing to music.
Friday: Jeans for Genes day. Ipod on the way to school as normal, i gave up on listening to the radio a long time ago, although it would probably help listening to the news once in a while :S
During PS we had the delight of practising the School house song, 'Keep on movin'' by five. After a hard week of school a well earned TV session began =) Scrubs, friends and the notebook were the main victims.
