Guess who got their Zim backpack today!! No, go on, guess. ...No, it wasn't Mr Jones who lives 2 doors away... No, it wasn't little Timmy who likes to eat dog fur for his breakfast... GAH, I DID!!! I got the Zim bag!! And, I have to say... It's pretty amazing. It was about 1/3 bigger than what I thought it would be, for a start. No, that's not bad, that's good. It has a lovely jubbly picture of Zim on the front and... There's a picture, use your eyeballs!! ^ And, another thing, it has more pockets than a chav's trousers. I'm not even sure if my grammar is correct there. It's pretty goddamned amazing.
I was told to revise MOREEEEEEEEEE today. I don't see the point in revising for something that won't actually change/influence my grades. It's just a sort of 'check up' to show that you are or are not learning. I don't see the point in revising, because either you've learnt or you haven't. If you cram it all in in the week off, then it's not a proper fair test. Unfortunately, my parents do not understand. The only person in my family who understands this is my Grandad. But, then again, he had an incredible memory, and read encyclopedias on the weekends. As a kid. He was even one of, or THE, youngest British Sergeant instructors in World War 2. He was... 20 years old, about. Enough of this *waves hands about*. I went up to revise at his house, as instructed by my Mom. So, I packed my new bag with all my books, and hauled it on my shoulder. Let me tell you about the weight and the pressure of the strap... I pretty much collapsed at his doorstep when I arrived. How far to his house? A mile or so. Not that far away... So, yeah.
So, revising? Didn't actually do any. I was gonna, but my Grandad showed me some hat pins from about the Victorian times. Then we spent about an hour cleaning all the black off of it. In case you aren't a scientist, they were made out of silver. Sure, black silver is worth more in the antique world than grey silver, but what're you gonna do? HERE'S A NEW FACT FOR THOSE WHO LEARN NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING!!!!!!!! ...and others. Pure silver, like on the hat pins, turns black because it reacts with sulphur in the air. TA-DA.
So, after cleaning hat pins? Heh, we played card games, like Slam, and Cheat (my favourite!!), and Beggar-thy-neighbour. We spent about 2 or 3 hours doing this. "Oops" is the correct term.
At home, however, I did even less revising. For about half an hour I wandered about for no particular reason, with my Zim toy hanging out of my Zim bag. Sad, I know, but it was strangely amusing. I KNOW!! Tomorrow I'll put BOTH my Zim and GIR toys in the bag!! Whoo, excitement!! I am so risky!! Oh yes, I get hyped up on even the slightest things. The rest of this time, I played various board games that me and my brother could think of/find. This included chess, checkers/draughts, Cluedo, and Monopoly. I lost every game, except for Cluedo. Why did I not lose Cluedo? Since there were the two of us, we decided on having 2 culprits, 2 locations, and 2 weapons. So we both won. It's not fair that he was the only one who knew the rules of chess, plays draughts in his spare time, and that luck (fate?) allowed him to get most of the properties.
