I mean REALLY liked them? I know I have… and it’s not good. :-( Even worse when that person’s also going out with someone… even worse than that when the person they’re going out with is the wrong person for them…<br /><br />Still, you don’t want to read about me feeling sorry for myself do you?

Revision’s going well. Think geography (which I hate) is going to be fine. I mean all my cousework’s fine. I mean I THINK my coursework’s fine. I hope. Aaaargh.<br /><br />The waiting’s the worst bit. I reckon by the time the exams actually get here I’ll be so relieved I’ll go in with a smile on my face. Almost.<br /><br />i've put my email address up, so if you have any suggestions or good ideas, drop me a line!<br /><br />in the meantime, <a href="http://www.knowitall.org.uk">knowitall</a> has been stopping me biting my nails down to the stumps...<br /><br />more later.<br /><br />abi<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3000267-3405558?l=atticus.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>abihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05497890896540209130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3000267.post-31423822001-04-10T08:42:00.000-07:002001-04-10T08:45:43.913-07:00I’m Abi and this is my blog. My best mate Jez has been running a blog for a while and kind of persuaded me to get into it too, so here I am. My name’s Abi Cooper and I’m a Year 11 student at High School in the UK. I’m into loads of stuff – the usual really. Reading books and watching films. I’m into books that make you think. Not like Jez who’s just into comics. My all time favourite is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, which they made us read at school. I wasn’t complaining though cos it’s brilliant.<br /><br />If you’re in the same boat as me (ie stuck in revision hell…) check this out – it’ll make your life easier with loads of useful tips etc. and help with planning (not very good at planning myself.)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.knowitall.org.uk">www.knowitall.org.uk</a><br /><br />ps here's more about <a href="http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Culture/HarperLee/bio.html ">Harper Lee</a><br /><br /><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3000267-3142382?l=atticus.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>abihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05497890896540209130noreply@blogger.com
