These wireless headphones I got for my birthday back in January are really pissing me off, about ten minutes into using them. The reason I'm using them now when I got them two months ago is because the ones I was using up until today have packed in; I can only hear through one headphone.
So I decided to use these wireless ones that had been sitting around for a while.
- The background noise from the receivers built in (wireless remember, they have an emitter that's plugged into the PC) is really irritating, a constant soft psssshhhhh through everything you're doing.
- They're not like conventional headphones that sit on your head, these ones clip onto each ear, which is a hassle and I'm not entirely used to them yet.
- Most annoying; they have a radio function. Neither is it necessary when A) you have real, good ol' fashioned radios and B) you can listen to most radio stations on the internet, but to access the function all you do is press a small button marked 'scan' on the right headphone. When adjusting this headphone, I accidentally thumbed the button. All sound from John Green's mouth on Youtube stopped as his lips kept moving, and then I heard white noise. And, as of now, I can't get John Green back.
- The sound quality really isn't that good anyway.

It was my mums birthday yesterday. Mummy's Birthday! I brought her a QI book of quotations. I'll have a look through it at some point and maybe post a few. She also got a satnav.
Here's a nice idea, since my gran is now a photographer, not employed, but she's entered competitions and such, she's learnt the basics of Photoshop and computers, and she compiled an album of pictures of my mothers life up to now (well, fairly recently) on a CD that she gave to her. It was fun to look at.

So yeah, March. I think its pretty much going to be both the best and the worst month of the year so far for me. Firstly; because new Doctor Who starts. Hang on, I feel like that should be in capitals. NEW DOCTOR WHO STARTS!!!!11111! And so does the new season of F1. Featuring Jenson Button in Mclaren. And Michael Schumacher back racing after several years of retirement. Michael. Fucking. Schumacher.
And then, I'm pretty sure I've got some exams to do this month. I've definitely got a science one tomorrow, but they're not long. From March onwards, I think the pace of exams will pick up a little. But its from now until June, hopefully it will be a tad less stressful than the two weeks full of exams before Christmas, so now we can just study one subject at a time. Hopefully.

I'm aware that this is my first entry in a short while. It's mainly because I've had nothing to type about or I've been too busy to type. Ah well.
On Sunday I emailed off my entry to a competition running at school which will see the top ten entries getting published in a book. Published. In a book. This is a writing competition, by the way, in case you hadn't guessed, in which you could get your writing published. In a book.
