30th April

The last day of April today, this month has gone so quickly ,and now its about to be May! scary stuff. Had our last whole school assembly on friday, which i found personally quite disappointing, we sang Jerusalem, but the guy played a different accompaniament (I spelt that wrong) to usual, so it sounded weird, but we sang it afterwards with mr jenkins playing, which made it moderately better. The MP Steven Jackson came in and did an assembly on trade, afterwards there was a sixth form discussion which was fun, me and andrena had frees so we went along. He was such a typical politician, he wouldn't give you any figures you asked for (although a lot of statistics), and he contradicted himself blatantly at several different points. If I had to vote and I lived in the Peterborough constituency I would definitely not vote for him. lol, although the others are probably no better.

Didn't do much on Saturday at Colemans, it was really quiet we hardly made £850, but we pottered round doing odd jobs, did tuck shop - terrible happening - freddos have gone up to 15p!!! thats a 50% increase, can you believe it? its an outrage, and we are all shocked, the most terrible part of theis cadbury scheme is that they used to write 10p on the packets, but now that they have gone up to 15p, they have just left the packets blank, so it looks as though it is the shops fault. We all think that Cadburys will put the price down though; we used to go through six boxes of freddos a weeks, but since the price changed on a Thursday loads of people have been boycotting them, and so cadburys wont even sell two thirds of the amount that they usually do, which they would need to, to break even. Saturday evening we went to Watkins' and watched reservoir dogs, it was quite good, although also slightly disturbing, especially when the guy had his ear cut off, i thought it was really clever how the camera didn't show it straight after it had happened, cos you were waiting for it to be shown and it wasn't, if that makes sense. The sound track is quite brill too including one song that I have been trying to find for ages, argh, what was it called? "hooked on a feeling" i think - its really cool, they used it in Ally McBeal, lol.

Slept the night at Allie's and then went on the ten past ten, went home and revised a bit, before then coming back into town to have hot choclate with some people plus beth who couldn't make the previous night, it was fun. After coffee we went shopping for a bit and i realise that i really want new clothes and shoes (althoguh i would probably never wear the shoes..., anyway, so I have decided I am going clothes shopping on wednesday, perhaps, or it might just turn into shopping for a dress to wear to the leavers dinner. I wanted to wear my pink one (some might remeber it, it was the one I wore to do the sixth form revue in, and my eighteeenth birthday) but the material is quite heavy, its not really quite right, so I'll see what I can find; I also want a new skirt, so I'm sure my trip will be fun etc. Ooh, I'm gettign my haircut on Thursday as well, which I have been needing to do for ages. lol. Its all happening! lol.

Not much else has happened to me; update on Nick, I go through days of feeling he sucks and days where I still think that he's amazing (i try to focus on him sucking; obviously in the metaphorical sense of the word - why I'm not deleting that sentence is beyond me). Still can't find anyone else attractive, which is my major downfall, but I'm trying very hard, so you never know... lol, another update; everyone keeps being really rude to me, I have started to retalliate using rude words, it isn't like me, although what with that and taking bigt bites of my sandwhiches it lloks like I'm just a new person! lol. Hope everyone is well and is having a fun bank holiday weekend!!!

26th april

So how cool was Alex's then? lol, it was the best tuesday night i have had in a while, i can safely say! I would mention all the people that were there, but there were way too many names, lol, and for anyone that didn't come - shame on you! lol. The highlights were probably the cakes, ratchett screwdriver and no one being sick, even though some people (not mentioning any names) had a surprising amount of absinth (is it spelt with a "y"?), anyway, luckily it finished quite early, and I got to bed about midnight and was quite awake this morning although am quite tired now. However, it has all been fun, and I think everyone enjoyed themselves, anyone feel free to send me photos, i forgot my camera, and so don't have any!

Haven't really done much , apart from realise how much i need to revise; i don't know anything that i knew last year, and i feel bad cos i'm missing a colemans art evening, but i really don't want to go, as they are a little patronising, and no one else is going either. Maybe next week. Anyway, thats about it for now, at the moment I am fine, and trying to curl my hair without any success (well a very small amount), anyway, everyone have a good night.

23rd April

Quick update over what I did over my weekend.

On Saturday worked at Colemans, it was really funny, didn't really do any work, but had fun, we read interesting children's books, and we eneded up creating ways to make letters and numbers with our bodies, it sounds confusing, but it was more hysterical than anything else. In tuck shop it was really funny, Lucy said "can I help you" to one guy, who replied in an uncaring voice "if you want", it sounds funnier when you say it, opposed to when i try to type it. After work, we all all went to Tom's, apart form I got there ten mins early, so Tom's sister opened the door, and I had the surreal feeling that nobody was going to turn up apart from me. However, it was fun, and Andrena made fairy cakes; they were brill. We went to Macdonalds and then me and alex went back to Alex's which was fun, well, we just kind of talked etc.

Alex's brithday in two days, hope everyone is ready to spend a night in her garden! It will be fun, weather-wise its meant to be really warm although cloudy, but it isnt meant to rain, so fingers crossed, oh and everyone remeber to bring food and drink. lol. (Even if it does rain, there will be a gazebo, so don't let that put anyone off)

Anyway, I have to go and do English coursework and an RE essay, so everyone have a good Sunday, and see everyone at school tomorrow!

21st April

Well, I am determined to write almost every day, even if it just means i end up being very boring (it can't get much worse I hear you shout; it can). Today I have been taking part in a drama thing that was filmed with a random man, it is to make an educational video, and was 'interesting' although we got to go early, so that was a bonus, the downside was that we had to miss our entire break and lunch, so i didn't get to see anyone, but nm...

Working tomorrow at Colemans and apparently there has been some scandal this week... so we have to wait and see what happens and how much we are told about tomorrow, but in a couple of weeks we are all going to do stocktaking and then go out for a meal, so I am sure we will be able to tell any tension within the group! lol.

I have been really happy all day, nothing much has really happened, but nothing bad has happened, I woke up to find that I have two more easter eggs, as my aunties had given them to my granddad who my mother had been to see yesterday (if that makes sense), so in a way I am excited, however, I had really hoped that I wasn't going to get that much chocolate this easter, and the amount I have had has just doubled, nevertheless as I am finding the impotus to run every day at the moment (well isnce sunday) I can kind of eat more without minding it.

It is Friday and so I have no work to do tonight, although a final draft of english coursework and an essay to do over the weekend, so perhaps I should begin... I am sure it will be fine if I wait!

Anyway, I hope everyone has a good weekend, and that everyone has fun over the next few days...

easter holidays

I haven't posted anything for ages, and so thought I should update everyone in general. Easter was interesting. I went to the beach with Alex, tom and mark, it was really windy which was ashame cos it would have been much better otherwise, but even so, we had fun, got sand in all our sandwhiches (but less in mark's as it was prepackaged!), and we discovered hunstanton, which was also windy, but the boys played on the arcade games, managing to earn enough tickets to exchange them for two sherbert dummys, which they appeared to have fun with, so all in all it was good, filled with flick combs and fish and chips.

That was the thing that stood out mosti n the first week, then Alex went to France, where she had a wonderful time, I kind of went around met up with people, ooh, on the first Tuesday I cycled into Peterborough and back again in a day! I was really impressed and it was really sunny, so on the way there I had a wonderful time, however, I was so tired on the way back that I ended up cycling really slowly; it took me an hour and a half to cycle there and two hours to cycle back, as I got lost, in total I did about forty mile, which doesn't sound much, but I havent cycled for ages, but it was good.

Went dancing in Flares with Andrena and Alison, well, mainly Andrena as I had forgotten to warn Ali about the music, and we all foudn out when we got there that it wasn't quite her cup of tea, but it worked out well in the end, as she invited mike out, and me and andrena spent the evening dancing and trying to put off really ugly men from coming to talk to us, which was surprisingly difficult, but if you dance with your back to them they don't really have a choice, although at one point I did get several to do the hand jive...

Went and played badminton with the girls on tuesday (the one just gone), kind of a ritual thing we do every holiday, it was fun, although not quite as good for our health as we had hoped as we just went back to Alex's afterwards and ate loads of chocolate. lol.

I have been watching a lot of Ally McBeal recently, which is probably bad for me, but it is funny at times, and I am trying to watch all the episodes I have before I start doing revision so that I don't get distracted (it just means I'll get distracted about something else).

It's Alex's birthday next Tuesday, so we are all excited, something to do, lol, although apparently people are staying over in tents, so who knows what will happen on the Wednesday when they will have to get up and go to school, but if they are mad enough to try... lol.

Feeling good about Nick at the moment, it was a month yesterday since we broke up, and you'll be thrilled that I haven't been blogging or I would have included random rants about him. He is behaving slightly weirdly in a kind of not talking to me very much way, but I think that I am getting over him quite quickly. Although sadly only for the reason that I believed at the time he loved me, but in retrospect I'm not sure he did. That is just my interpretation, and might be completely wrong, however, it does make it a lot easier to deal with. lol, it also means I have a lot more time for revision after school! yay.

Slightly woried about my summer exams, and a lot about my English coursework, I have to re-work almost all the pieces and they are not brill, in fact if I get an A it will be dodgy, and I cannot afford to mess up any of my exams, but at the same time need 3 A's to get into university, ooh I should probably do the UCAS thing and tell them which uni I want to go to...

Well I'm going to go, so that I can got on with work, hope people had a fun easter
