    :lol:  @GreenTea - perhaps it is your phone's way of telling me I got the maths wrong! Turns out it is more like 67%!

    Cc: @Aidan so he doesn't get confused by my fake news on the previous comment!

    Making sure this is from my account this time - can you tell I haven't had my coffee yet this am?!

    So my online classes for the next 3 weeks just got cancelled, I’m so confused!
    Is it because they will be face to face? 

    Edit sorry just saw other message

    Well originally maths was supposed to be face to face but then me and someone else I think said they weren’t wanting to go into school for them, so they moved them online (only 6 in my class so missing 2 is a lot aha) 

    and drama that was always scheduled to be online we don’t have any slots to move it into school. 

    Haven’t done any online classes yet my school are really behind and we’re going to be starting them from next week along side face to face lessons :joy:

    67% is sensational!! 2/3 of all posts in this thread. A wonderful creation @GreenTea!!

    @Ed_ coffee is a very common topic here. I drink too much of the stuff really. :lol:

    @Starlight oh how strange, hopefully your teachers are in touch soon with an update. 

    @Shaunie aww bless! Still cute though definitely.

    I've also done nothing but sneeze but at least my Coursework was marked right! 
  • GreenTeaGreenTea Posts: 12,938 Born on Earth, Raised by The Mix
    I've had 2 espressos 😬
  • Former MemberFormer Member Fruit loop Deactivated Posts: 2,762 Boards Guru
    @independent_ 3 cups! 

    I shouldn't have had 2 😂
  • StarlightStarlight Posts: 1,439 Wise Owl
    Right so just been message by head of sixth form he said he had to cancel them because he set them up but it needed to be the teachers that had set the lessons or something. Makes more sense now aha

    @Eleanor to be honest the weather is very temperamental at the moment it goes from sunny to thundering to absolutely pissing it down within what feels like seconds.

    I’m about to watch the Scottish government briefing. Looks like we’re about to ease our lockdown more which is good :)

    @GreenTea oooooops!! Printers are so annoying sometimes though mine goes through ink like there’s no tomorrow.

    @Starlight ooooh, that’s cool!

    @independent_ throwing it down here . I don’t watch the news any more but sounds good 
  • independent_independent_ Community Champion Posts: 8,983 Legendary Poster
    @Liam I don’t normally watch it or any news really, I was reading/watching it way too much at the start of lockdown and it made me feel very anxious so I stopped. But today I thought I would because Nicola Sturgeon is probably easing lockdown more.

    @independent_ that’s why I stopped. I got obsessed at one point lol
  • independent_independent_ Community Champion Posts: 8,983 Legendary Poster
    @Liam I did as well, my dad is still obsessed. Sadly he’s not great with sources so he always believes everything he reads on Facebook ;)

    Before lockdown started I was obsessed with the news. Then I decided to stop because it wasn't interesting anymore.

    @EGM yeah a lot of the news is very boring as well. Especially once they get into their politics. No thanks.

    Oh well not a lot is changing in terms of lockdown here lol.
