Network problems

The delightful Orkney Schools has had more network problems, resulting in a lack of Internet access for a great deal of yesterday. Funnily enough, it just went down as I was about to click ‘start’ on one of my servers which was down (not Zernebok, but the old Adiungo one), and so that server was still down for some time. *sigh*

Got an English unit test on Alastair Gray’s “Lanark” and “Poor Things” tomorrow, which should be fun. I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to fill an hour and a half’s worth of essay on it, depends on the question really. Talking about English, the thirteen pages that comprise the first draft of my Specialist Study dissertation, “Mythology of the Explorer”, focusing on Touching the Void by Joe Simpson, Ice! by Tristan Jones and Captain Scott by Ranulph Fiennes, are apparently “excellent”, and it seems I don’t have that much work to do before the final draft – apart from shorting it by 250-750 words. At least I don’t really have to write any more… Got to write stuff for history though: got a practice extended essay to do on appeasement on Monday – two hours long – and then again the next week for the final thing!

Well, I’m off to tt-forums, see you later.
