Well it's says completed, as technichally I did do it all, alas it was inedible and so on and so on, guess I should really learn to cook  in bits before jumping right in - oh well.

Learn GCSE Product Design (Update)

I'm getting one step closer, I have downloaded a tonne of product design stuff from the schools network that I can go through, as well as some homework that I shall try out in my spare time (stuff like, create your own cereal box and so on, nifty.)

Get A Job Hippy! (Update)

Well it might not seem like a job job, Oxfam is a chillaxed place which will get my experience up, which in turn will make it easier to get another job and so on. I've handed in the application form today and now I have to wait for a phone call, yuck. Wish me luck!

Go to the Double Top (Completed)

This one was an adventure! Not really, but you believed it for a second. I went with my sister (as I would never put one step into the place) for 12, when it said it would be open. Half an hour later and no sign of anyone coming to open up so we went back for some lunch (eggy bread yum!) We decided to check back later and it was open! But very empty, like, there were only 4 people there. Anyway it was very nice architecturally, with the two separate circular rooms (hence the name) with little seating areas and whatnot.

We got lemonade! We played pool! I lost! We listened to a western! We looked at the book trading centre! Good idea! I couldn't work the pringles machine! We left!

Not that welcoming, but it's close!

Ocarina of Time (Completed!)

So here I am a week later, with it finished! Something I certainly didn't expect! If I knew it could've been this easy to complete I might of put something else down in its place. Ah well, I'm glad I did get round to finishing it, because it was a really fun game. So from the last time I was on it at the start of the fire temple I made it through that, the spirit and the shadow temple, and beat ganondorf. And I did it all without Epona! Who I stole after. GTH much. So now that I've basically beaten the game I want to see how many more unlockables I can get before the 18th of November, when skyward sword comes out. So I'll still be updating about my progress so watch out for it!

Flip a Table (Completed!)

It was the first lesson on my birthday, media. And everything was messed up! So our tearcher set us to work, making the classroom presentable for the learning that will be envisioned. I decided I would move the desks back when it hit me again. The evil table flipping curse! I couldn't help it, and I flipped it! The chairs behind it went flying and the table landed with a deathly thudding sound. Everyone went quiet. I picked it up and carried on moving stuff around, it was awesome.

Ocarina of Time Update (1/10/11)

So let me update you where I am at Zelda, I have just beaten the Water temple and boy no wonder they call it the hardest dungeon, spent most of it wandering around trying to find the place to go next and don't even get me started on the mid-boss! Harder than the actual main boss!

So after that I decided to follow navi's 'advice' about death mountain, which is no help at all right after finally getting the adult wallet which I haven't had for all this time! so upon collecting 200 rupees I bought the large sword. And two seconds later I broke it. Sad face. But yeah that little annoying goron that keeps rollin' rollin' rollin' is actually a huge part of the plot in terms of progression, I had to use a walkthrough to find out you're supposed to throw a bomb at him because that was obvious. So he's called Link too, gave me a red- I mean, Goron tunic and sent me on to Death Mountain.

And that's where I am now, just in the first few rooms of the dungeon, freeing gorons like a boss. I doubt it will be harder than the water temple which only took a few hours so it'll be okay. Smily face.

I'll update next week!

Drink Coffee (Explained)

Yeah I know, an easy one right. To be fair though I had 17 out of 18 things to do and it was the night before so I had to rack my brains to put anything down, and I decided it would be coffee, simply because I haven't tried it and I would never try it if it weren't for this. As long as it doesn't taste like tea, that stuff's disgusting.

Create one Idea into a Physical Product (Explained)

This is kinda a follow on from the product design, but to recap - Book full of ideas, I want to hold them in my hand. Whilst most of them are silly it would still be nice to be able to poke them with love.

Learn GCSE Product Design (Explained)

Now I'm not one for having any idea for a realist job that I want to have in the future. I'm more like, this month I want to be a games creator! Now this week I want to push pigs down hill for a job! And one month I was all, I want to create merchentdise and awesome stuff! I have got a notebook slowly filling up with ideas as we speak, but I have no knowledge of any of there manufacturing, so I thought I'll start at the bottom, and if I enjoy it I'll work my way up to A level standard and so on. (Sad story is that I wanted to take A level Product Design but I really needed to of taken GCSE and I would be the only one, so it wasn't going to happen. Oh well.)
