A's Coursework From Hell
A is a student who went to a fieldwork centre last summer after her AS-level exams and before starting the A2 course. She spent a few days cataloguing invertebrates in ponds. Then she was supposed to go away and write up what she'd discovered. She didn't. Hence April came around and her school asked everyone for their biology coursework so it could be sent off to the exam board, and it didn't exist.Read more... )

Anyway, after spending up to 8 hours a day staring at a computer screen for that, I haven't been feeling like doing anything social on a computer. So instead I have been:

Getting “Gamerpoints” on the Xbox 360
I wrote about this before – how I want to finish Rock Band properly before importing the songs to Rock Band 2. I have been exploring the various online modes and discovering that I like Tug of War A LOT, and don't like Score Duel so much because no one ever seems to be playing bass and I don't know a lot of the guitar parts that well. I've also been playing Beautiful Katamari online which really is fun, and getting the skill points for that.

Going to Revision Classes at College
This should be at the top of the list really, but I've been too exhausted to write about them. Having to get taxis to and from the station because my legs are too bad to walk it. Ugh.

Revising
Oh, who am I kidding? You think between A's coursework and the revision classes that I've had any spare time when my brain works for my own revision? Come off it.

Am incredibly, incredibly stressed about my exams. Thinking about trying to see my doctor a.s.a.p. for emergency psychiatric treatment. Don't trust anyone else to deal with it.

Woohoo, I just finished Rock Band on Expert Vocal :) That goes with finishing it on Medium Drums (the hardest I'll be able to manage - I'm really not built to play the drums) and Hard Guitar. There isn't a Bass solo tour in the first Rock Band so I can't do that, although I *can* play any song in the game on Expert Bass.

I also have the four Flawless achievements: 100% on a song in Expert on each instrument, with the added complication for Bass that it has to be played using entirely up-strokes. OK, so I "cheated" for Expert Drums and chose a song that only has 4 drum notes, but in my opinion that's keeping within the spirit of the rules. No one ever said you had to choose a difficult song, just that you had to play it in Expert mode :P

Also, the band which consists of me (bass) & Richard (drums) & sometimes Tim (guitar) have finished more than half the venues in Rock Band, and we seem to be motoring on at a fair old rate. Which means that sometime soon I'll be able to export the Rock Band songs over to Rock Band 2. Not that there's anything stopping me from doing that now, but some of them are really tedious and you don't get to choose which ones to export: it's the whole lot or nothing. And the last thing I want to do is be playing Rock Band 2 and get some hideous song from Rock Band before I've fully finished playing Rock Band...

Next to be accomplished: dinner, and finishing my Bioinorganic coursework.
