Am doing various homework that I have been putting off for ages. But seeing as it's back to school tomorrow, I can't really put it off any longer ( Read more... )

Yay! Finally completed LOTR Battle for Middle Earth! I just started playing it again after getting as far as the Black Gate before losing comprehensively. Last time (appologies for those not familiar with the game)I decided "hey! let's attack the black gate with rank 5 heros and an army consisting almost entirely of cavalry and infantry who are ( Read more... )

Went into town with Emma today to buy Birthday presents and ended up spending the best part of an hour wandering round town in search of Cadbury Dream Chocolate. Nowhere had it! We looked in Big W, Wilkinson's and all the little sweet and chocolate shops, the market etc and not so much as one small bar could be found. Awful. Stopped at the corner ( Read more... )

Back from D of E. Went ok. Our "acclimatisation day" turned out to consist of a visit to a climbing wall only as opposed to a walk in the area. The climbing wall was fun but walking boots were shit to climb in. Too big. There were three bridge things which were about 50ft off the ground. It was a bit like a short easy version of spinaparc in Epinal ( Read more... )

Back from Greece. Only to go off again on D of E today. Everything is packed. Including tea bags and giant toblerone bar. Ho hum.

My MP3 player has still not come back. It's been three weeks. Am starting to get worried.

Mmmmmm. Real English tea.

Off to Greece this evening. Some time like 5:50. Am quite looking forward to it. I just hope I've remembered everything. Am also watching the Leicester Tigers match. It's currently 12-9 to Leicester. Good ( Read more... )

Went into town today after school. It was fun. I bought: Harry Potter GOF top trumps, lunch (cheese and onion bake + water), Lucozade glucose tablets for D of E and...Baby Rusks! In boots Jenny and I both had a mad urge to eat rusks. So I bought some and got told by Emma to hide the box. Yummy rusks.

I passed my Grade 7 clarinet exam. I got 108. For those of you who are unaware of how the ABRSM music exam marking system works, full marks is 150, a pass is 100 and above, a merit is 120 and above and a distinction is 130 and above. I was a bit disappointed with it, but a pass is a pass and as my teacher rightly said, it reflected on the effort ( Read more... )

So yesterday I had my French oral. It didn't go so badly, but I guess I must have looked really bad before I went in cos Mr Gough asked if I was ok in a really "don't pass out now" voice. I don't think I did too well on my general questions but I managed to get a few decent grammatical structures in. I got several pluperfects into the picture story ( Read more... )
