			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Right now, I have 26 hours until my next exam (Computing CP4), yet I am sat blog posting! What a mistake-a to make-a!</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve now done 5 exams, and have another 8 left to go. Only 13 days left though! They do like to cram these exams into a nice small space of time!</p>
<p>Since I&#8217;ve finished school, I&#8217;ve discovered <a href="http://www.pkr.com" target="_blank">PKR</a> &#8211; a 3D poker game that you play from your computer over t&#8217;internet against other people. It&#8217;s quite addictive &#8211; and a very good waste of time! I came 112th out of 400 in a tournament last night, went all-in on a pair of Kings, the other bastard had a pair of Aces -.- Will be back in the tournament tonight, going to beat last nights record!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also discovered some more stuff, which I&#8217;ll post about later today.</p>
<p>Right, who wants a game of Monopoly?!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just woken up after a rather epic night at the May Ball. I expected it to be a bit more emotional, since it is the last time we&#8217;re going to see everyone, but as soon as the booze was flowing (at expensive rates!) I realised that wasn&#8217;t true <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Got a lift there in style (with Daves dad, same as for year 11 prom) and then Rick tried to emulate the prom some more by jumping into a bush&#8230; video&#8217;s will be up later!</p>
<p>Food was crap considering what we paid (&#163;37, for a slab of chicken!), and the DJ wasn&#8217;t up to much at all!</p>
<p>Started calling in drinks from all kinds of people, got 2 free shots and at least 3 free cider&#8217;s from various people, including Mr Hughes &#8211; you legend! I really couldn&#8217;t afford much at &#163;3.75 a pint! &#163;3 for shots as well&#8230; more than twice the price you&#8217;ll pay around Poynton!</p>
<p>Anyway, got in at about 2am, after trying to put my key into a wall. Doors are hard to work after a night drinking! Bit worse for wear this morning, but nothing a bit of revision won&#8217;t fix! 19 days, 1 hour, 7 mins until I&#8217;m done with exams <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' />  Woop!</p>

<p>It&#8217;s a weird feeling, knowing that I&#8217;ll never have to go back to there for lessons, but I&#8217;ve waited long enough for this day to come!</p>
<p>We spent the day leaving our mark around the school (not graffiti, just some well placed pranks!), but I shall not post photo&#8217;s for fear of incriminating myself <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8-)' class='wp-smiley' /> What fun!</p>
<p>Celebrated with a nice weekend chillaxing with mates, and a trip out to Kings on Friday night, where it turned out that most of our year (past and present) had as well!</p>
<p>Only regret &#8211; not getting one of the PHS leavers hoodies, I&#8217;d never been told about them <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;ll have to see if I can get one made up!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I need to get better at this blogging lark, no updates in nearly a month! <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif' alt=':-o' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I have just got back from completing my Music Tech coursework logs. If anyone from AQA happens to read this &#8211; <strong>they&#8217;re a waste of time!</strong> I&#8217;ve spent the last 2 days doing nothing but logs, and I bet they never get read. I hate examiners some times!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also got A2 exams next week. Eek! Maths C4 and Music Tech resit on Wednesday, and then Physics resit on Thursday. Can&#8217;t wait&#8230;</p>
<p>Still, on the bright side &#8211; 32 days left until my last exam <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' />  Woop!</p>

<p>Not got another free between now and Wednesday &#8211; including lunchtimes! They&#8217;re taken up from now until Friday with doing Battle of the Bands in school! Damn Music Tech!!</p>
<p>Got a Cub meeting at the fire station tonight, should be entertaining&#8230; for the Cubs! Group leaders meeting on Wednesday night as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been busy.</p>
<p>Monday brought a Music Tech day, with people from Huddersfield Uni coming in to talk to us about their course basically. Then some practical workshops, which were a bit useful, but not very! Could have spent the day better by doing my coursework. Which brings me on to&#8230;</p>
<p>Tuesday. Tech coursework. Managed to get Task 5 pretty much complete, but I bet that Slim MT will butcher it tomorrow! Did some more work on my Task 1 (multitrack), trying to get vocals to sound good. Don&#8217;t think that&#8217;ll happen! Came home and did some Maths work, what fun!</p>
<p>Wednesday (Tomorrow/Today). Tech coursework. Hopefully will get Task 1 and 3 complete, and then work on 4. Fingers crossed I may finish the coursework part of the course! Probably some Maths/Computing when I get back.</p>
<p>Thursday. Driving lesson + maybe cinema in the afternoon (if I can afford it!). Need to try and get a hair cut as well!</p>
<p>Friday. All day Computing/Maths/Physics.</p>
<p>Saturday. Some sort of Network workshop. No idea what it is, but its region-organised &#8211; so probably a load of bollocks. Hopefully will end up in a pub though!</p>
<p>Sunday. Cheshire Hike base with McNetwork. Going to be a fun day &#8211; that&#8217;ll definitely end up in a pub!</p>
<p>Monday. In school for Computing probably.</p>
<p>And then its back to school</p>
<p>Goodbye holiday!</p>

Are there any trojans going the round right now? :S My PC seems to slow to a crawl one minute, and then be fine the next <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  I think its dying/infected &#8211; and either way I want rid of it!!!</p>
<p>Managed to get next draft of Physics coursework done this weekend &#8211; but then the bloody printer ran out of ink, and I&#8217;ve got none spare <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  Have to wait for a Viking order to come through now!!! At least I&#8217;ve got an excuse for not doing Computing coursework though <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Hehe</p>
<p>I&#8217;m fed up of Poynton. That&#8217;s enough said on the matter, although things are looking up slightly! School still blows though&#8230;</p>
<p>Thats about it for my life at the moment&#8230; interesting isn&#8217;t it?!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, you can all imagine why I&#8217;ve not been blogging much recently&#8230; I&#8217;ve got an iPhone!</p>
<p>Yes, almost 1 year to the day of it being announced at Macworld &#8211; I hold in my hand the epitome of cool.</p>
<p>The adverts really can&#8217;t show it at all, its an awesome bit of kit, only got a few complaints:</p>
<ul>
<li>No multiple texts</li>
<li>No MMS</li>
<li>Headphone jack</li>
<li>Home button</li>
<li>Applications &quot;crash&quot; to the home screen quite often</li>
</ul>
<p>Most problems should be fixed with the 1.1.3 update, however, which hopefully is out next week, being announced at MacWorld!</p>
<p>Anyway, back to life&#8230;</p>
<p>Got exams this week, had Maths C2 yesterday (went okay, thought of an answer as soon as I left the hall though <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  there goes 5 marks). Got Physics resit and Maths C3 tomorrow &#8211; fun. I intend to have a fun time at Nic&#8217;s party tomorrow evening though &#8211; I may not make it home!</p>
<p>Handed in my Physics coursework, a month before I had to <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif' alt=':o' class='wp-smiley' /> ! I&#8217;ll wait and see if it comes back though, teacher&#8217;s still had my last piece for 3 months without marking it -.-</p>
<p>I&#8217;m rather depressed about going back to school, would much rather be off to Uni tomorrow!</p>
<p>On the subject of Uni &#8211; I&#8217;ve had offers from Kent, Nottingham and Edinburgh so far, and have interviews at York and Durham! Kent want me to visit though, which means a 6 hour journey on the train just to get there <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  May have to drive&#8230; somehow!</p>

<p>Found a Physics tutor, friend of the family&#8230; hopefully will improve my grades for the exam this time around!</p>
<p>Did the Maths mock during my free day (what a way to spend it&#8230;), found it incredibly hard!</p>
<p>Anyone found a way to freeze time yet?</p>
