An exciting week

Where do I begin? First of all, I finished my re-read of Breaking Dawn on Sunday night (I stayed up VERY late on Saturday and Sunday night to finish it) and subsequently started re-reading the entire series from the first book (for those that don't know, it's Twilight) (now for the third time in roughly five months) on Monday night. Yes, I've taken to reading before bedtime. I gotta say, it's very calming.

Tuesday meant a maths test on Trigonometry. I still haven't got my test results back, but if my instinct is anything to go by, I reckon I got 100% :D. Wednesday meant no sport because I wasn't in a grand final, which meant I got to go home early. Upon turning on my computer, I get an offline message from Samie begging for my help to learn how to use torrents because Limewire stopped working for her. That took an hour and a half of my time :P.
XBMC
Tuesday also yielded the first official release of the upcoming stable point release of XBMC Atlantis, which has been two years in the making. It's the final alpha build, with a beta build being released sometime in September. But the exciting thing about this release is that it was the first real release of XBMC for Windows, Mac and Linux. That's right, they've ported a piece of Xbox software to the PC and Mac. Naturally, I snapped it up as soon as I got home from school and started messing around with it. It's soooo awesome. Personally, I think it's going to revolutionise media on computers.

Thursday meant handing in a major English assignment, and revision for a Physics test on Friday (today). This morning came, and we had the Physics test (although only just over half the class were there :S). I did pretty well, but as usual with tests where I have a mental blank and struggle with something, I had the answer pointed out to me straight away after the test.

When I got home I had my final rehearsal with the piano accompaniment before my Violin exam tomorrow (it's at 1:30pm, wish me luck!!!). When I got home I started reading the Twilight Guy blog. It's about a guy who heard a lot about Twilight before he started reading it (exactly like me :P) and subsequently started reading it to see what all the fuss was about. He also started reading the series around the same time as me :P. I also started messing around my blog and my Google Reader, and you'll probably notice some new features pop up if you actually visit my blog instead of using the RSS feed :P.

Wow, that WAS a lot of writing. *makes a pact with self* I AM going to update more often :P. See you guys soon.
