Red Nose Day!

Where is everyone? It was good to hear from Mel - I hope you had a good birthday.

And for the rest of you, I'm still hoping you're alive and well.

Oh, and I've learnt that volleyball is actually suicide for your arms/wrist. Why do they use such hard balls? I swear they're like footballs. Like really hard tough footballs. Urgh. They also hurt your thumbs. Nothing like a good ole sport rant.

And we handed in our GCSE subjects today. It's kind of scary now I've hit the point of no return. Like I know I have to just trust that I picked the right things (which I probably didn't, by the way, I think I'm going to get the first B in my school's history) and kind of pull through it. Oh well. You can expect lots of ranting. I wasn't sure whether to do double or triple science. I was definitely going to do triple until my stupid form tutor (she's not that stupid) told me I should do double and Geography. Oh well. What's done is done.

And now I have the lovely weekend to look forward to. Tomorrow shall consist of a lot of sleeping and making clay things, and Sunday shall involve going up to Cambridge to get my brother back down. There's a good cheese market there. And I'll have to slot in homework somewhere.

Oh yeah, I meant to tell you last week. For World Book Day, I ended up going as Little Red Riding Hood (basket and all) and my friend went around as a wolf. The winner was really good. She went as some person out of a Jane Austen book, and she bought like a ten quid dress from Oxfam, a pocket watch and had an umbrella. I can't remember who she was though. High five for the Gryffindor cloak though.

And happy Red Nose Day (if it exists over there). Naturally, my school was all snobbish and didn't do anything. Apparently we've hit the maximum number of mufti days, so that's a shame. But we do a bunch of other things.. like cake sales.. because we lack creativity. Actually, you get that one class who decides to do something really good like hold a pancake race (though no one turned up). Though our lovely school Amnesty club's apparently holding a Secret Policeman's Ball sometime, which sounds pretty good..

So, if you are alive, hope you have a good weekend!
