Oh my.

Hello again. I'm baaaack...
I doubt anybody will read this. I may have to tweet it xD
Who knows how long I'm back here for...but, never mind. That's irrelevant.
Doesn't my last blog seem, like, sooo long ago? Yeah, well, 3 months...yeah, that's kind of long...
SO...LG15: The Show Is Yours is back, with LG15: Outbreak. I'm enjoying it so far. :) It just got interesting- before, it seemed to all be a bit silly. xD
Umm, yeah, dancing show in a couple of weeks...I keep getting injuries :( (only tiny ones, mind you) which is not good for dancing. But apart from that, it's all good! :P
What else can I talk about? Exams, exams, exams, etc. You get the point. Not fun. Although, no more actual proper thingymadoos until May (I think). But, all results so far looking good...
The snow, the snow, oh how I love the snow ;) Had some in January, went away, then we got some more on Wednesday :D So, we had 2 days off school in Jan and 1 off on Thursday...but they made us come back in Friday. And after that it was half term. Pointless? I think so. Anyway, I've made 2 snowmen so far this year. The second of which is still standing (barely). His carrot fell off, he's lopsided and a lot smaller than he was...my dad (what a kind man??) shoved the carrot through the poor snowman's face...(the snowman would have probably preferred to not have a nose, tbh).
Not much has changed really, though, since November. I had a haircut last week, which isn't really noticeable. Never mind.
Stay nomalicious ;)
:D See you soon (haha, probably not) (but let's just go with that for now)

November :)

Well hallo there. It's November. Last time I wrote, it was September.
How time flies! xD
And now, I can't think of much interesting to write. (Checking calendar...what did I do last month...)
Right, well my dance school moved to its new studios. The main hall is a bit smaller but it's cleaner and generally better. We've started learning dances for the show (which I think is in January) now. They're pretty cool. :D
Some people got expelled from my school for doing drugs...:S Lol, and it was the day before open day. I'm thinking there's gonna be a decline in year 6 applications this year ;)
There was half term, where we were supposed to be revising for mocks. I managed to find something to do almost every day :D
Then we had mocks as soon as we got back, which meant study leave. :) But also exams :(
...xD
...Results are good, didn't fail Geography this time ;D I got a B :D And an A* for coursework! Which is the only thing so far that goes towards the final GCSE grade. So I'm happy with that :)
In November I started (a bit late) NaNoWriMo-National Novel Writing Month (You aim to write a 50,000 word book by the 30th). I'm so behind right now, so I'm trying to write this as quick as possible! If I can get 12,000 words by the end of today I can probably catch up by next week! Lol :P
Better go and do some writing! Haha Write Or Die will make me ;)
I'll try and write again soon! Maybe when I've finished this stupid Nanowrimo ;)
Byeeee :D

Work Experience and such...

Ahh. Time for a new blog :)
Well, going back to school was silly. We missed the first 2 lessons anyway for form time (getting stuff, handing stuff in) and then assembly. Then the remaining lessons were mostly teachers trying to fill in time. We did have a biology test though D: Theeeen it was back to tap :) The dance school I go to is moving soon, to an old church, so it can have its own, proper, studios. But that means:
1) The timetable is changing, and tap is moving to Thursday, when I have youth group :/
2) It's further away. And in a town I never really go to. So I'll probably get lost at some point.
3) This means I may have to get up earlier on Saturdays :(
I might have to move up to the next tap class so I can go to my youth group. And I haven't even got the things we're doing in the grade I'm in at the moment :S Oh well. I might survive.
Saturday, first day back for Freestyle and Street. Then went to Hub event in the evening with Sarah (instead of going to youth group at my church).
So, work experience...
Wasn't too bad. It did get a bit repetitive because I did the same things every day but I didn't mind much because they let me go home at 1.30, and 11am on the last day :) Lol, that's pretty much all I have to say. I was basically just cleaning rooms and washing up and hoovering.
Friday I thought I would go trampolining, but when me and my friend got to school (and almost changed) someone sitting there says 'Oh, there was a notice up saying it's postponed until next week' ¬¬ So I had to get the bus ALL THE WAY HOME AGAIN. Gah.
Yesterday was the usual stuff. Dancing, youth group in the evening.
Today I went to church. It was really good :D And now I'm at home sitting on my computer. I have to go to the family service at my parents' church (my old church but still sort of my church) which is rather boring...
And next week is school again, but properly this time :P About to dive into year 11 (last year with uniform woo!) (but then there's all the exams...boo :( )
Ohhh I enjoyed this summer so much :( Can't believe it's gone already!
This year altogether has probably been the best, ever, well so far xD

Ok, I'm off now. Bye-bye :)

Not this school malarky again :(

Well my last blog was my last one as 14. This is my first blog as 15 :) And also, the last blog of the summer holidays 2009 *sigh*. These were some good holidays...
Can I ask what's the point of starting school on a Friday?
Well, at least I don't have to go next week. Instead, there's work experience...:S at the Travelodge. Probably housekeeping. Oh dear.

Right so since my last blog...
Birthday :) Was good. Didn't get many presents but got £170 which I used to order a new cameraaaa :D (which the website I bought it from keeps delaying. It's ANNOYING). Went bowling with some people. I won the first game :D Can't remember about the second *whistle* :L Really. I can't.
Saw Hairspray on Tuesday, with my friends in it :) That was really good.
Not much for a couple of days...
Then the family. Stayed at my auntie's house so all the cousins could stay together :P Had a gathering on Saturday night with most of my mum's side. Got a £50 note (never seen one before, let alone had one) and some nice jewellery from my auntie :) Oh, and a Wii Fit as a late birthday present from another auntie.
Sunday was church, then playing on Wii Fit for aaaages, lol.
Went to a barbecue Monday night. Attempted homework etc Tues/Wed then I decided to go to the cinema today with some people, as our last day of freedom :P
And that's about it for now.
I'll blog again when I get a chance to resurface from the masses of homework I'll be getting :(
I may have time next week though, shouldn't get too much homework while at work experience...
Ok, buh-bye :D

I will do this! I WILL!

Ahh, well I finally decided to write another blog :) Woohoo! :D
This will be my last blog as a 14-year-old...in 1 hour and 6 minutes I will be 15...and by the end of writing this I'll be even closer!
So, I didn't really do much else before going to Detling. I went to the park for a picnic with a few people but that was it really. :P
Detling was really amazing! I got to see everyone I've met there before, and it was great to be in a Christian environment again. :) There were some good bands, like thebandwithnoname, This is freedom, Tom & Olly and Twelve24 (who helped with the youth work).
Not much else to say about Detling...when I wasn't at meetings I was with my mum who volunteers in the office. More interesting than it sounds though ;)
Oh, and there's a wristband you have to wear for the whole week that I'm still wearing. But it doesn't look like it will last much longer...
Lol, I need to stop being distracted by facebook!
So since Detling, I've been bowling, seen Imagine That at the cinema (not bad), met up with someone from church, made my sister a surprise coffee cake for her birthday (which was on Thursday), been to Nando's for her birthday, been to a concert in London with some friends from church, aaaaaand I've been planning my birthday party for tomorrow :) I'm going bowling with some people. Took a lot of persuading my mum but we met halfway with a buy-one-get-one-free deal at the local bowling alley =)
Do I use too many smileys in these things?
So anyway, that's my week! And a bit before that as well. This week I'm planning to go to see Hairspray because I have friends in it, and then family are all visiting at the weekend. I think it's almost the whole of my mum's side of the family!
43 minutes until I'm 15!!
As in the wise words of Tigger, TTFN!

Time for something new.

Hmm I think it's about time for a new blog post, don't you think? 2 months is a long, long time. Basically I got too busy, didn't have time to write about everything, and then was too scared to log back in because there was WAY too much to write about. Well, now it's the summer holidays and I don't have much to do, so I suppose blogging is a good idea :)
Well, around the time I stopped blogging, I went back to the opticians to try out contact lenses again, before I went to Uganda. My mum thought my sister might as well have her eyes tested while we were there. They found something at the back of her eyes, and she was sent to hospital. She had an MRI scan, a CT scan and a lumber puncture (sounds horrible, so glad I wasn't there to watch). Then she was sent to a couple of specialists in London (the names of the hospitals escape me now) and after that my mum decided that she wouldn't have any more tests until we got back from Uganda, since my sister hadn't actually felt ill at all. In fact, the only reason she was feeling ill sometimes was because of all the stupid tests. So a couple of weeks before we go on holiday she gets a letter saying they want to see her on 24th December in London (I think). Well, never mind.
I have contact lenses now :) Not to wear all the time, but for 5 days a week. So glad I didn't faint this time! They let me put them in myself, not the contact lense man put them in, which I think made it better :D
School seems so long ago! I don't recall much happening in the last term...I have my grades, which are all good except Geography (well that was to be expected, after my D in the exam). I finally finished Geography coursework, and handed it in, on time!
So then we come to Uganda! In the evening on Sunday 12th July, me, my parents, sister, and a guy called Steven all went in the car to stay in a hotel by the airport (we had an early flight and didn't want to have to wake up too early, since the airport is 2 hours away from where we live). Then, Monday, we hopped on a plane to Amsterdam (about 40 mins) and then waited there for 2-3 hours (stupid delays!) and then hopped on another plane (about 8 hours), to Entebbe airport in Uganda. They let all the keyboards and guitars we'd brought to donate through, no hassle! We were met by Olive (who basically runs Kampala Children's Centre, aka KCC) and Patrick (the driver). By then it was late at night so we went straight to our hotel (Kolping House) . That was about a 1 hour drive. Hotel was nice, we had hot water 80% of the time which is probably better than most places in Uganda, and the restaurant wasn't too bad either.
So, the first day Patrick picked us up from Kolping House and drove us to KCC (about 1 hour). The traffic in Uganda is crazy! They use motorbikes like taxis, we even saw one with 4 people on the back! So we got a tour of KCC (it's quite big). Didn't see many children at first because they were all at school, but we did meet Timothy and Tegan, the 3-month-old twins. Their mother died in child birth and their father abandoned them, so for 3 days they were passed around, being fed on only water, until finally someone alerted KCC and they were taken to hospital. Now, though, they're perfectly happy babies.
At KCC there's currently 7 houses, each one with about 12 children and 1 mother, and a primary school. The mother in house 7 has to look after the babies PLUS 10 other children! So, most of the time while we were there, me and my sister helped with looking after the babies. Meanwhile, my parents would go to the school and draw pictures (they don't have projectors or anything, so if the teacher wants the children to see a picture, they have to draw it out) and Steven would go teach music to a couple of the older people at KCC. Normally in the afternoons we would just play with the younger children who had finished school for the day. Every day a lady called Grace would come to KCC and cook for us. The food was really good :)
In the evenings, we would return to our hotel and eat dinner at the restaurant, and then sit in our rooms and laze around before going to bed.
A couple of days we did different things. On both Sundays we went to Destiny Bridge Church (started by Arnold Muwange, same guy that started the orphanage). The first Sunday we were there, we saw Ndere Dance Troupe in the evening, which was traditional African dancing, plus a bit of comedy. The second Wednesday we were there, we visited Prayer Mountain, a mountain dedicated to prayer. That was really beautiful. Then, after being at KCC for the afternoon, we visited one of the children, Irene, in hospital. She had stomach ulcers. The hospital had apparently been built in the 1960s by Britain, but it seemed as if nothing had changed since then! The mattresses looked horrible, and the window next to Irene's bed had been smashed. The patients all had to bring their own blankets, and pay for food, drink, medication, and to be seen by a doctor or nurse. The second Saturday we were there, we visited the source of the Nile, in a place called Jinja. We went on 2 boats, looking at different waterfalls and seeing the view from different islands. On the second Sunday there, the day before we left, we held a party for the children, since we wouldn't see the older ones on the Monday because they would be at school until 5.30pm. So, we'd bought sweets and biscuits, and we had a special performance from Destiny Africa Children's Choir (who toured England last year). On the day we left, Monday 27th July, we went to a market in Kampala, to buy souveneirs etc. Then, we went back to KCC to say our final goodbyes. Steven, my dad, and a guy called Joseph (18, lives at KCC) spotted a lizard in a tree and decided to try and catch it. Which they did in the end. Well, Steven did, after about twenty minutes and the end of the tail snapping of in his hand (ew). We re-organised our luggage (much less without the keyboards and guitars) and set off for Entebbe airport. No delays this time, and we arrived back in England early Tuesday morning.
I really loved going to Uganda, and really want to go back one day :) I miss them all so much!!

For photos, see my facebook page, or hopefully I'll have a video up soon.
You can also visit the Kampala Children's Centre website, here :)

So, since I've been back, I haven't really done much at all. Last Friday I planned to go out but then not enough people could come so I didn't in the end. Marianna came to my house in the evening and I showed her my Uganda photos and then we went to the beach with her family. Sunday I went to church, then saw a carnival, then went to a prayer meeting in the evening.
Yesterday Sarah came to my house and I showed her my Uganda photos and then we watched Angus Thongs & Perfect Snogging :)
Today I've done absolutely nothing, nothing at all.
Hopefully, tomorrow I'll be going to the cinema.
Friday I'm off to Detling, camping. It's like a Christian conference, with different meetings and stuff all day, plus games and bands and things like that. This will be the 10th year, and also our 10th year going as a family. So I can't wait for that :)
Anyway, I'll blog if anything interesting happens before Friday. If not, I'll blog when I get back :D

Urghhhhhhh

I haven't written a blog in a week. Pfft.
Wednesday - Walking out of PE we got told not to walk on the grass. In the middle of a giant field. :S I made cookies. Which were pretty awesome. Apart from the burnt ones. But even the burnt ones tasted OK. Then English. More funny voices (new characters). I moved in RE and we had stickers and I had a sticker beard. Then the stickers got confiscated for the rest of the lesson...but the teacher still didn't notice my beard xD We did the Hokey Cokey in forensics...

Ahh, good times.
Thursday - Food Tech trip :) We went to a college for a meal. It was yummy. Yeah...
Waiter: Would you like roasts or baby potatoes?
Will: I'd like babies please
xD
That is it I think...
Friday - No teacher in Spanish. Did nothing all lesson :) Introduced my Geography teacher to Spotify...Went dancing then bowling in the evening with Sarah and church people (bowling not dancing).
*COUGH*IBEATSARAHBY1POINT*COUGH*
Hm? What? Where was I?
Ah, yes...
Saturday was the usual dancing. Then home to do as much homework as possible before going to London for a youth Christian event. It was really really good :) And I don't normally like rap, but Ejiro is quite good...
So yeah then I got home at 1am. (After having chips at 10.30pm and an ice cream at midnight) (I didn't buy the ice cream someone bought one for everyone)
Sunday - Church, Lunch, Church, Homework. Umm it was interesting. Honest. But I just have nothing else to say...
Monday - Another good RE lesson in my new seat. We made pictures out of rulers and pens etc...Tilly decided she wanted to be a rapper so we have "bling bling" xD
Todayyyy - Preparing to start german coursework, while I just finished spanish coursework :/ Did the hokey cokey in english (secretively, while sitting down).
Yeah, soooo...
On with the homework :(

Thorpe Park :D:D:D

Blahblahblah.
Fridayyyyy. I sat in the garden reading a book and got a tan finally :) That's all I can remember about that I think :S
Saturdayyyy. I did homework (yay!) because I hadn't done any at all that holiday...oops. Went out to a club in the evening, where we play games a bit and read the Bible a bit (it's a Christian thing). I completely owned everyone at Wii bowling xD DIVERSITY WON BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT! :D :D I was sooo glad. I really didn't want Susan Boyle to win. Then I went and stayed over at Teresa's house for the night.
Sundayyyy. Woke at 7.30am (boo) to go to Thorpe Park! (woo!) First ride we went on was Saw (the new one). The queue was as scary as the ride. It broke down twice while we were waiting (but was fixed pretty quickly) and then when we were getting near the front there was a SHOTGUN sound. It made everyone jump. Then when we got ahead a bit we heard it again (but quieter) and laughed at all the people jumping behind us. I think a man screamed xD So I also went on :

• Rumba Rapids (X2)
• Logger's Leap
• Colossus
• Nemesis Inferno (The best)
  
• Tidal Wave (X2)

Good times :) I do love me some rollercoasters. It was quite hot though. Maybe a little bit cooler. Kthxbye (lol)
Mondayyyyy. Back at school. Awhhh. Nothing interesting happened I don't think. Family barbecue in the afternoon/evening :P Another auntie and uncle arrived (from the other side of the family) to take over my bed and room. Luckily I am allowed on my computer. (I'm doing homework...RIGHT? *looks threateningly at you*) Yeah, so...barbecue. Food was good. Cake was good. Yup. Beat everyone at Wii bowling (again xD) but then lost at Wii music (I haven't played in ages). Went to bed too late and now too tired. And feeling annoyed at everything. I almost broke my computer earlier. Ah well.
Todayyyy. Got a lollypop in Maths for winning something last lesson. Ate it while doing a test. Starting reading Of Mice And Men in English. Apparently it's a really boring book but my teacher does the voices (bad American accent) which makes it more enjoyable. IT was the usual do nothing lesson. I think I got about half a page done. And wasted space with pictures. My grade got moved up in Food Tech. But I haven't really done much more. Ah well. Came home and got annoyed at my computer. And now it's time to Geographise...
Kthxbye :)

Noodles on Toast :)

Tuesday was my day of nothing...
Wait...
Yep, nothing.
I was doing my homework (but not really) Well, I got the Geography coursework sheet out and decided other stuff was far more interesting.
Wednesday I went to the cinema with Sarah & Joe & Shaun to watch Coraline. The rest of the cinema was 5 year olds xD Joe had someone crying next to him. He claims they were 20 (but in fact 5) years old. An OK film. Little bit weird. But it was Tim Burton. Then went to Nando's with Shaun & Joe. Good food. This annoying guy called Dan turned up with his family. Shaun invited him to sit with us. Most conversations between me and Annoying Dan go like this:
AD: Hi, Faith!
And that's it.
Started making a birthday list (for August).
Today I had noodles on toast for lunch. With cheese on top. (Idk the Super Noodles packet suggested it) It was actually really nice. I went to see Night At The Museum 2 with Sarah. Seriously, amazing :D I really loved it. (Apart from the Jonas Brothers song. It almost ruined the film.) My Dad got an iPod shuffle off some guy he helped. He offered it to my mum but she didn't want it. So my sister got it. Oh well *not complaining not complaining* It only has 1GB on it and it's not purple. And doesn't have a screen.
Until I next have the urge to blog,
DFTBA ;)

Coaches, Half Term and Britain's Got Talent :)

Grrr I keep thinking "I really should blog now otherwise I'll have too much to catch up on" but it doesn't work. 4 days then. Here we go:
Friday - Apparently I was moody because I wasn't letting Ben copy my Physics work xD Left maths lesson early to go on maths trip. About an hour on the coach. Let Ben loose on my iPod. (He doesn't hear much normal music) I asked him what he was listening to:
"Avril Lavigne! I thought she was dead?"
Ahh poor Ben.
We went to a posh school in Folkestone. The outside looked like a prison, and the inside like a shopping centre. Really, really weird. And they were all looking down on us from above. Especially when we were eating. We wondered why. Then I said "They don't get fed here." Which is what it seemed like. They all looked like robots. The lecture was boring. And the seats were uncomfortable. Then back on the coach for another hour of iPodding and such whatnot. Arrived back just in time for last lesson (yay?!)-Biology. Went on the computers though, not too bad. And we only had to do a little bit of writing :)
Saturdayy - Usual dancing. Then off to Matalan where I bought £52 of clothes. Summer clothes, for my holiday to Africa. But I still couldn't get away with my mum paying for it all, since my sister only bought £25 of stuff. Darn :/ Then home for a clothes sort out and chuck out. Went to a church youth group. I liked it :D Going bowling on Saturday with them. Watched Britain's Got Talent on ITV player when I got home. Meh, not very interesting. The drummer kid really really should have got through and Darth Jackson really really shouldn't.
Sunday - Church in the morning. My auntie and uncle came for lunch. (Have to give my bedroom up for 2 nights boooo. At least I can get on my computer still ;) ) Then we went on the beach and had ice cream. The sun is nice for a change :) My uncle really wanted to find a crab but we only found dead ones. We got a pot of sweets and all 5 of us (Me, my mum, sister, auntie and uncle) squeezed on a bench. To get up we all had to move at once. It took us 3 tries xD Then home for some Britain's Got Talent. Diveristy was amaaazing. The little girl who sang wasn't as good but she had the wrong song and clothes. Susan Boyle was actually awful. She only got through because of all the press. If she wins, I won't be happy. I thought Faces of Disco were better than she was.
Today - First day of half term! Really tried to sleep but noone would let me. Grr. 10am on the first day of half term is not good. At least tomorrow my parents are going to work about 8/9am so they shouldn't wake me up. Or I'll go back to sleep quickly. We went to the beach (again) (a different one) (we didn't actually go on it, just the pier) There was a motorbike gathering thing and I got bored. Waffles with cream and chocolate sauce was the best bit. Then we went to play crazy golf. I got the first hole in one on the first hole on the first go. Mhm. But it all went downhill from there. I came last. FAIL. Then we ordered some food and sat under a marquee. That's when the thunderstorm started. There was some eXtremely huge lightning with some eXtremely loud thunder and some eXtreme rain. We stayed there and ate and watched crazy people carrying on with their crazy golf in the crazy rain. I think we were there for about an hour. I ended up tweeting from my phone (not done that before, oooh). When we finished our food we called a taxi so my dad could go home to get the car (yeah, we'd walked there, it was sunny earlier!!) because there was 6 of us so we wouldn't all fit in a taxi. Then we had to run for it round the corner, up the stairs. It took about 2 minutes to get to the car and I was soaking. So were my new shoes :( But they should just dry out and be ok.
Yup, so that's it since Friday...
BGT later :) I want Flawless to go through definitely. And there was someone else but I can't remember who else is on tonight.
Byeeee :)

Triple Crap. Triple Science.

Ohh four days.
Monday I handed in my Work Experience thing. No going back now. Tbh I don't really care what I do. No languagey things, so I'm not bothered. First time with my new English teacher. She's a bit posh. She says teacher of Greek instead of Greek teacher. And tells lots of pointless stories. But she seems nice. RE was a debate. I just couldn't be bothered to join in. La gente me molesta. (No, it means people bother me, stupid). First Chemistry lesson with new set. Not too bad. But a new seating plan, and most of my friends were put on one table-that I wasn't on. Grr. My table wasn't too bad though. Still, I planned to move next lesson. She doesn't notice much.
Tuesday. Started Spanish Writing coursework. She just gave us a load of sheets and we had to get on with it. Fine then. She also announced she's leaving (she told me as a "secret" on Friday but clearly decided to tell everyone else as well now). In English people had to perform Drama coursework thingys but we'd already done ours :) (A*! Woo!) Made an animation about me and Sarah. I rather enjoyed it. I may have to make some more :D
Wednesday...I made flapjacks again. They were better this time but still crumbly. Talking about 1930's America in English. Boooring. We're about to read of mice and men. I've never read it before. First Biology lesson. Scary teacher. Glad I wasn't late. Then an interesting RE lesson. That's all I'll say there.
Today was one of those days when you keep waking up but can't be bothered to get up yet so you set your alarm for another 5-10 minutes ;) Food Tech the teacher went on about some crap for ages then we just talked for 15 minutes at the end. Food Tech trip to a college after half term for a 3 course meal. Sounds interesting. First Physics lesson. Ugh, I want my old class back now. In Chemistry I tried moving, but my other table only had 2 other people on in the first place. One was ill and the other one sat somewhere else so he wasn't on his own. So she noticed because it was empty. Gah. Oh well, we ended up eating pringles. Good lesson. More coursework in Spanish. Yay. It doesn't have to be that long though, I just need to get the Spanish right. :/
Just been to a meeting about the trip to Iceland :) I can't wait! Not until next year though...But still. Sounds amazingggg :D:):D:)
Maths trip tomorrow. Ooh yay. (Well I didn't have to go but me and Sarah decided to both go) (Plus the lecture's only an hour long so the rest of the time we can be doing random crap)
Byee...

Oh. Crap.

Duuude. Ok Friday onwards. Umm what did I do Friday? Ahh. Last day in our old science sets. I have (had) the best science set. And now I think I'm getting the worst :( Stupid Triple Science. Didn't do much in Maths. Loads of people on the Geography trip (the people that didn't go on the same day as me) so we ended up playing Who Wants To Be A Millionaire...Got my £15 voucher from BofE finally! Woohoo! Trading with my mum for a Amazon voucher! We watched The Simpsons in Spanish (only half in Spanish because the teacher left the room so someone switched it to English while she was gone). In Geography we had a guy teaching teachers clever things about Smart Boards. About 12 teachers were in the room. It was a bit awkward. No trampolining :( (Again) Then Grade 4 Tap (the hard one) again. Still hard.
Saturday...usual dancing. Eurovision was rather crappy. Well, we did get 5th instead of last or second last or wherever we came last year. But the songs were mostly boring. I voted for Norway. Almost voted for Portugal/Moldova. I like the commentary though :) Soo funny.
IRC Prom was pretty awesome too (Internet radio/chat prom for you who don't know) even though I couldn't stay for long because I'd been watching Eurovision and it's American so by the time they finished it would be about 4 am. :/ Spent my Amazon voucher on a pre-order of the next Georgia Nicolson book, 2 old Hawk Nelson Albums and Guilty Pleasure (Cobra Starship) :D
Today was a pretty normal Sunday. Yerp.
New science set tomorrow...Oh. Crap. :(

6 days in 1 blog post! A rather long one!

I'm sure I blogged after Friday last week. But, there we go. So we have 6 days to catch up on!
Saturday I started street. It's straight after freestyle but I went to the beginner and advanced classes so I can catch up :S I was a little bit tired after that. 2 & 1/2 hours total.
This is why I need to update my blog more regularly. I can never remember what happened. Well I think after that I just went home and didn't do anything else.
Sunday was the usual. Church in the morning, roast dinner, then church in the afternoon. I liked the teenager thing in the evening though. We went down to the beach and started playing games and stuff but then we mostly decided it was too cold and had chalk fights instead. One guy ended up being really really white-faced so he looked like a Twilight vampire or something xD
Mondayyyy I had a German exam. It was averagely hard. There are some questions I know I got wrong but some were rather easy. This meant we missed the Work Experience form filling out lesson so we missed RE to go do that with another class (it was on the internet and we had to be told how to do it) (although I don't see where it was difficult-I could have figured it out myself) So I picked Accountancy, Hotel-based, Retailing & General Catering. Tbh the choices were crap though. Nothing to do with languages. Which is what I want to do. And my school is a specialist language school so it doesn't make much sense?!? But I just put languages in my Hobbies/Interests box and I hope they might put me somewhere to do with them. In Maths I got asked to do a thingy where I help some people from another school revise for their exams because it's stuff I would find easy :S But the Geography trip was Thursday so I couldn't do it. I could have missed 3 periods. But instead I miss the whole day...
Tuesday was the Spanish exam. The listening was quite easy. The reading was harder. Featured a guy with crazy hair who looked a bit out of it-also on the German exam?!? What?!? He had different names. He must have multiple personality disorder or something. My English teacher wasted half the lesson trying to make a new seating plan. And the other half we watched a video which we didn't finish. But I didn't mind because it was slightly boring.
Wednesday...We looked at a map of Kent in Geography so we could see where we were going [today]. We found lots of funny names of places. I can't remember any though. PE was scary. Most people were doing French and half the people were injured/ill/forgot PE kits so only about 15 of us did it altogether. Top set joined bottom set. Top set are really really competitive. I don't think they were impressed with bottom set skillz. But that's why we're in the bottom set...
In food tech I made cheese & ham bombs. They were a bit too big so you get a mouthful of mostly cream cheese. Oh well. In English we performed our Drama coursework :o It was quite funny because Ben said 'Fat Pauline?' instead of 'Pauline Johnson?'. It was good because it was supposed to be improvised but it made me almsot laugh. Luckily I didn't need to say anything at that point. I ended up saying my lines with my back to most of the audience but I thought if I turned around I wouldn't be able to do it. Anyway, in the end I got A* anyway :) 52/54. Ben got full marks. But he does do singing and acting etc so he's had a lot more practice. Chemistry was when we discovered that Lumpy loves our Chemistry teacher. He stares at her all lesson. Even when she's not talking. Even when we're packing away and she's talking to someone else. It's funny xD We had to write an RE essay. It was nice to have an (almost) quiet class. The noisy people were mostly missing. Just 1 left. Gah. Marianna didn't come to forensics again. Gah. So we made a time plan and Mrs Setterfield called the school to sort out a date. 19th June. I don't have to do Science and Maths then :)
Today we had the Geography trip down to the beach. It was forecast to be really heavy rain so I wore a fleece and a mac and wellies. It didn't rain at all and was quite warm and sunny. I didn't wear my fleece or mac most of the time. It was good because I felt like I actually understood Geography for once. Amazing, isn't it? Maybe it was because we were outside and it was warm :) I was the only person wearing wellies xD but a lot of people have hiking boots. I don't hike and my trainers are converse so I thought wellies were best. Yeah so we walked around a lot and took measuringlings and anglings and sketched (sort of but not) and wrote notes down. I have 9 pages of stuff. Hopefully I will survive my project (which is a % of the final grade) so the final exam won't bring me down too much. Apparently we FINALLY got our Tesco vouchers for B of E today! I have to go find a dude tomorrow and get mine...And my mum said she will trade it for her amazon voucher which is good because Tesco music is expensive :)
And I think that's all for now...I'll try not to leave my blog for 6 days!

Barbecue #2

BingBangBong.
Boring week really. That's why I haven't blogged in like, 3 days!
And I'm lazy ;)
Wednesday.............
Lol. PE. Spaz rounders! Wave your arms around spazzily in the air and shout "Huzzah!" every time you hit the ball! I made Tomato and Basil muffins in Food Tech :S They're sort of weird. I've only had one. There's still about 4 left. Hopefully my dad will eat them all.
Thursday................
Aww my English teacher left to have a baby. We ate popcorn. And we're getting this woman who is apparently evil :(
Today.................
Loads of language revision. Exams on Monday & Tuesday. Woo. ¬¬
Physics was rather funny.
*Phoebe passes me a note asking if Ben has ever had a girlfriend*
*Ben asks me what the note said*
*Phoebe asks Ben who his girlfriend was. Asks 'Was it Josh?' (Or something like that)*
*Ben says 'It was a girl!' (In a normal voice for Ben quite loud for everyone else)*
*Ben gets in trouble*
*Ben asks me what the note said again*
Lol...
No trampolining :( Until the end of June :( Now Grade 4 tap. It's quite hard. At least we're new so we have an excuse for being bad at it.
Then..another barbecue! Hehehe. Didn't last as long as the other one and not as many people but a barbecue is still a barbecue. I don't think I smell of barbecue as much this time. Which is good.
Yeah, so. Let's hope I have an interesting weekend.
Byeee

Lanterns and Barbeques.

Hellooo there :)
Usual stuff. Was a really nice dinner at the restaurant. I skipped the starter because I wasn't that hungry. Then I had quiche and potato salad :) Then I had chocolate brownie with ice cream. :) Mmmm...
Sunday I went to church. Then went to church again. Then left halfway through (Right before the boring man! Yay!) to go do a tap dancing exam. Hehe. For once it wasn't delayed by hours so when I got there I only waited about 20 minutes-ish. That's still quite long. Wellll the first thing that went wrong was my partner didn't dance when she was supposed to. Aww oh well. We were supposed to do it at the same time so I was kind of doing it by myself...Luckily the examiner let us start that bit again. Then we had to do things called time steps and we both did the first ones fine and messed up at the same point the second time round :/ When it came to echoes (examiner claps and you copy) it was really really super-easy though. I can still remember it now. (1 2 3 1-and-2-and-3 1 2 3 1..) The rest was ok I think.
Also finished my creative writing on Sunday. I would post it but I don't think you're supposed to PLUS someone could steal it and we don't want that now do we ;) ALSO finished a really really long sheet we had for Spanish that wasn't compulsory but it really is because she moaned at me for not starting it last week.
Yesterday was my mum's birthday. Was woken up at 8.30 (I think...was too tired to check the time) to watch her open presents. Then went back to bed. Got up and had an egg and ham and cheese and ketchup in a bagel. That was goooood. Then I made cheesecakes for the barbecue. Then I made croissants with chocolate in the middle. Was told I have to make them again. I will, at some point...
The barbecue was great :) Saw loads of my parents' old friends. Sometimes awkward because I wasn't sure who to talk to. Food was great. Weather was OK. Not as sunny as the weekend-boo :(We played volleyball over the wall. At first it was football but people kept kicking it over the wall so they gave up. My dad got my mum these flying lantern things for her birthday. Lol. So they lit one and let go. We managed to make it miss the massive tree and all the power lines. And it almost went in another tree but kept going. Then it landed in some old lady's garden. We all stood in the street a bit worried. Then she came out and said something like 'Someone get this thing out of my garden before it sets it on fire!' Hehehe. Oh well it was all fine in the end. But next time we're going to let it off in a big wide open space...
Today was quite boring. German test. Spanish test. Another film in English :) It was weird though. Jekyll and Hyde fro m the point of view of a maid. In IT we found out that a newsletter which we expected to be one page long in fact has to be four pages long. Gah. And I had a little pen fight with Sarah and a slightly bigger pen fight with Jon. Covered in Sharpie and biro now.
My mum is really really ill. (SWINE FLU?!? Naww...) She can't even drink water. WATER!!!!
Yup so that's my life with the extremely boring bits edited out :)
Byee

What, Summer? Actual Summer??

Friday...Woke up late, as usual. Not on purpose this time though. Came upstairs 1 minute before I had to leave. Dawn (my sister) had already left. Started talking to my mum. She says, 'Are you sure you haven't left anything in your room' Me 'Yeah' Her 'Go turn your light off then' Me 'My light isn't on...' But I go to look anyway.
Marianna goes RAHHHH from the top of my stairs.
I scream and slide to the floor. Couldn't talk for 15 minutes.
Scariest scariness I've ever had.
But it was hilarious xD
Got a letter in maths about going to a lecture about how they use maths to build football stadiums...Yay?!? At least it's not compulsory. Cover lesson in Spanish. Noone did much work. I doodled a lot :) Found out they recommended me for Triple Science. I'll probably do it.
At trampolining I walked into someone with my shoulder and gave her a nose bleed...an accident! It really was! Did somersaults. My leg was fine :) Sarah drew lots of pics on paints for me in the evening. They are very very hilarious. But I won't post them here because they would offend people ;)
Today....I went dancing. Came home. Computer. Sat in the sun doing Spanish :) But it just got colder so I came inside again. Now going out to a restaurant because it's my mum's birthday on Monday...
Bye :D

Finally! The end of Watersportz!

Doobeedoobeedoo it's THURSDAY. Yes, yes it is.
Tuesday...
OOH in English we started creative writing. At first I had no idea what to write about. But now someone's getting attacked and running away. I've written about 4 sentences so far. It's all good. Oh yeah. My leg sort of died :( It was all swollen etc. Well it had been hurting for a bit. But finally my parents noticed. I went to tap and was told to 'take it easy' but I didn't really. I have an exam on Sunday though so I have to be careful not to die in the meantime...lol.
Wednesday I got out of PE with my bad knee ;) Even though it didn't actually hurt that much. But it was still swollen and I really don't want to injure it before Sunday. Chemistry is back to usual boring lessons after all the boring exams. So I've got back into the habit of not really listening.
Me: I don't understand it
Lumpy: Maybe you should be listening then!
Me: What?
It's really not my fault. Teachers should learn how to be more interesting. And not babble on for ages about crap that's got nothing to do with anything. I still got an A* in both modules xD
In forensics we didn't do much really. Marianna couldn't come again, and she's sort of group leader. So I went on Uncyclopedia and looked up random crap. After school I did a lot of our business stuff (how did it end up being me, again??)(after I was promised I would have nothing to do this time??) Finally finished at about 11 o'clock. Again.
Today...I thought I deserved to sleep a bit longer so I pressed the snooze button on my alarm clock. Little did I know, it wouldn't go off! I'm always pressing it by accident (and it makes a horrible noise) because it's the biggest button on there. Yet one of the times I want it to go off, it doesn't! Pah. I ended getting up at 10 to 8 instead of 7. Oh well. I was still ready in time for school...and another business presentation! It went OK. Despite rushing around at the last minute for a few things...it would help if some members of the group cooperated. Grr.
*Shiver* It's a bit cold. Why can't we have warm nights and days? Like in Grease, you know, Summer Nights? No. Bad joke.
Anyway. The presentation was alright. Apart from the parts where the slides switched without us knowing and when I said 'former sportsmen and women' instead of 'famous sportsmen and women'...everyone laughed. It was really hard not to laugh too. At the end I left the questions to everyone else. At the end of all the presentations the judges went off to decide who would win. They took aaaages so eventually they sent us to lunch and told us to come back later. Well we didn't win. Or come second. Even though there were 3 joint second places xD Group that won...I'm not saying anything.
Now I can finally RELAX though. No more business stuff! All I have to do now is wait for my £15 Tesco voucher that I'm getting any time soon...Woo! :D
Reeeeeeelaaaaaaaaaxxxxxxxxxxiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg....

Found my pencil case! Woo!

Right. Catchup from Friday onwards. On Friday I went to the lost property cupcoard and found my pencil sitting there, on the shelf, all intact. YAY. *Celebration* Umm at trampolining we found out that next week (this week) is the last week for a while because the teacher's injured :( So she decided to make me do burani. ...?????? WHY? She was like 'Do a somersault and twist when I shout twist' and I was a bit like AHH and I only got one go at it anyway thankfully. Of course I didn't succeed. It was my first time! Later Marianna and Sarah came round to do some business stuff. Well we didn't really do a lot. We did change bits of the video but apart from that we went a bit silly.
Saturday I went dancing. Back to normal freestyle. No more extra rehearsals for the show. Booo. Apparently we might be doing it in the big school show next year though :D I might be starting street dance soon. That will be rather awesome. Aaaaaaand...I spent a lot of time doing maths homework. It was really hard. Then I had to explain it to everyone else. Pfft. I went to the hub event with Sarah. It was alright. Watched Britain's Got More Talent (Wasn't home in time for BGT) Hahaha. I say Britain. You say Talent. Britain's Got Talent it's DJ Talent!
Am Sonntag (Sunday for the non-German speakers) I went to church :) Then I had a roast dinner. Then I went to Sarah's birthday party. Bowling! We had this really crazy guy as our lane host (who my parents know xD) and it was all very interesting. Later I went to the beach with some other teenagers from church. I played football xD At least I tried. My dad laughed at me because I kept kicking and missing the ball. But then he fell over when he kicked the ball so it served him right.
Today was quite boring. Well not boring. Just ordinary. In English we're doing a drama thing that counts towards our GCSE etc etc. Hehehe it will get a bit interesting...Apart from that not much interesting stuff has happened today.
Business of Enterprise presentation on Thursday. AHH. What are we going to doo?
Bye for now :)

My Lose Everything Day...

Finally feeling the tired from Sunday...Gahhh. Still loved it though :)
Yesterday I forgot my PE kit. Oh and I also forgot my pencil case. Then I lost my homework diary. Not really a good day. They made me bowl in rounders! ME!! Oh well. Not too bad. I didn't get THAT many no ball's...We had Forensics-a club where we're designing an activity day or something for small (by small I mean younger) people.
Today I realized I've actually lost my pencil case, not forgotten it :'( Oh the sadness. That pencil case was a winner. I hope I find it. If I do, I will most definitely come to celebrate here :)
Had a Food Hygiene exam. Yay(!) At least I can get a cooking job now. If I want one. Which I don't. Yet. Got told off in German for doing my homework. Which isn't due in until tomorrow. Oh well. She didn't seem that mad. I didn't actually finish it. Got halfway though. Not bad :)
It's a short one, I know, but school days aren't really that interesting at all, are they?

Burn baby burn, Disco Inferno!

Ahaha I am back :D

The show on Sunday was really really AWESOME. Apart from the being awake from 8am-1.30am but I'm not actually that tired so it's ok :) We had some interesting costumes...

Yeah I loved it :D We were on the coach and waiting outside the theatre for aaages. Then we finally got inside and got the best changing but it was right at the top of the stairs. And that was a lot of stairs. Did rehearsals. Then we went into Leicester Square and got some take away and ben & jerry's ice cream :D Mmmmm...

The show went really well apart from rushing to get to the 2nd dance because people's hair wasn't finished! We got a really loud applause after that one though which was great! When I got home at about 12.45am my family were all waiting up for me and talked to me for a bit until they finally sent me to bed. But I was kind of glad to go to bed.

Yesterday wasn't very interesting. Back to school D: Got 5 A*'s and an A for Science which is good, I don't need any resits :)

Today was just more school really. I got A* for Maths and full marks :) We got told off in IT for talking and threatened with detention. It was about Buisness of Enterprise though! Gah.

Tap class today. Everyone's a lot more friendly after the London show. Definitely going to wear my T-shirt (orange one in photo above) next week and on Saturday!

Gotta go, being forced upstairs

Byee :D:D:D:D:D
