my school got a new (digital) piano today and it's really fantastic, the sounds it makes are incredible
it was donated by a former member of the BBC Singers so it's very professional - it’s so fancy that it doesn't use a kettle lead for the power supply!
I'm now getting to the point in my life where I'm actually having to put some effort in at school
kind of sad that I can’t just do well without too much work, but it’s definitely a good thing
@imadeanaccount has done a cracking job here, I look forward to the raw data being released and for more studies in the future!
just went to the opticians and my prescription increased by half a dioptric in each eye (not great bc my lenses are meant to stop my eyesight getting worse) but on the plus side I get the new lenses for freeeeeeee!!!
I run the ukulele club at my school and I'm currently doing some arrangements so I'm ready for September… yesterday I did We Are Family and now I really want to do It’s Raining Men - I just don't know if people will appreciate all the disco!
you can never have too much 70s/80s disco
I've been working on a thing that compiles scratch projects to webassembly recently. Today I finished a couple of things that meant I could run some benchmarks - I was expecting it to run as fast as turbowarp seeing as at the moment there are so many things missing that would slow it down - turns out it was 3x slower than vanilla scratch just for incrementing a number 1000000 times
I then did the loop using a <
block rather than =
and it ran twice as fast as scratch (and also twice as slow as turbowarp but I'm going to ignore that)
I've got a lot of work to do!
I got an 8 (A*) in english lit and 9s (A**/A^) in my 10 other subjects! ‘tis very very very good :D
it’s GCSE results day tomorrow… will probably be more nerve-wracking than any of the exams

Today at swimming one of the girls said “strangers are just friends you haven't met yet”.
It’s simultaneously inspiring and a little bit concerning.
