London

On the 25th dad and I went to London to the Tate Modern and a few other places. It was really fun, although mum wasn’t there because she was at work, while it was her birthday :( (Happy Birthday)

The Tate Modern exhibition was really good ‘Street & Studio’ there were some odd pieces and some amazing! We went to some other showings there which were good too.

We walked along Embankment, which was kind of cool because it was a clear day and the glass buildings looked incredible. There’s this seriously cool place under some steps that skateboarders and BMXs ride. They are really talented and really cool to watch them.

We went into Covent Garden where there was a hilarious man juggling which 7 balls, an apple which 4 machetes also the very high unicycle- which was amazing.

Next to our restraint was a man making a lion, I think? in the sand. It was really cool because it’s just sand!!

Long wait until 21st August

I had my last exam today. Woop! Overall they went okay- I suppose. But I think History: Germany 1918- 1945 went the best then Biology, considering I don’t really need either of the GCSEs to go to UCCA, but never mind.

But from today I have two and-a-bit months to do nothing! Well I do need to get a job because I will become very board otherwise. But I plan on going to my Granny’s in Scotland and seeing friends but today I threw out all my revision notes, all my books from year 7 ,8 and 9 (I thought I would keep 10 and 11- I filled 3 recycling bags :S), a very productive day me thinks :D

(The piles did become bigger)

3 is the magic number

Well this week has been a completely terrible one! I have 8 exams in 4 days- and they didn’t go as well as I planned. It makes me think, what they would have been like if I didn’t revise?!

Monday morning was DT and Maths. DT wasn’t that good; I now know that I threw away some silly marks which I did know if I just thought about it.

Maths wasn’t too bad, but to be quite frank I don’t really care about it- yes I know that I will need maths when paying bills and things when I’m older but you really don’t need to know to do Quadratic equations and when will Trigonometry ever come up in everyday life?- All valid question in my eyes!

All the rest weren’t as good was hoped for but I’ll take everyone’s advice and support that “it will be fine in the end.”

I don’t have any until next Wednesday then I have Germany 1918 to 1945, Physics and Geography.

Revision around my room- Ill be so happy when it comes down because i cant see in my mirrors!

Good luck to everyone else!

2000- 2008

Last Friday I left Gad’s forever. It was a really good day, but rather sad too! I’ve been there since year 4 and it was quite sad to think that next year I won’t know anyone!

We have random traditions at Gad’s like going on to the roof and writing our names in the lead. There were loads of names yet there seemed to be loads of space left. It was cool to find people who I remembered and the find people from 1943!

We all signed out shirts like most schools which was fun so in years to come ill remember people and remember people drawing genitals on my top- thanks for the memories- teehee

Though we do have Prise Giving at the end of year which I’m not sure if I’m looking forward to. It will be sad and it will officially be the end of Gad’s!

I really hope that we all keep in touch and see each other again! I’ve met and made friends with some amazing people and it will be sad not to see them each day.

You cant really see it but my name is there... promise!

Radio One Big Weekend!!!

Very late because I’ve been so busy with revision but on the 10th May my friend and I went to RADIO ONE BIG WEEKEND!! & it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! We saw Madonna, Usher, and The Fratellis, Scouting for Girls, The Feeling, The Hoosiers, Duffy and Robyn. We wanted Sunday but we got Saturday instead and it was soo great!

Scouting for Girls, The Feeling, and The Hoosiers we the best! We were stood in behind some (slightly drunk) boys when The Feeling was on and they were somewhat hilarious! Madonna was really good- I don’t really like her music but I strangely like ‘4 minutes’- but hey hoe!

But the thing is I'm not the tallest person in the world and I couldn't see half the time!- though my friend dreary picked my up a little- THANKS :D

It was really hot too and we both got a tan which is a bonus! They had these tag thingies which around your neck with the line up and loads of advertisement and guess how much they cost? - £6!!! So I didn’t get one :(

4 Down, 3 To Go!

YAY!!! Yesterday at 10:32pm I finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Yes for most people it’s not that big deal- but for me it is! I had never really read a book I enjoyed (i.e. school books- Of Mice and Men& Macbeth) before I started Harry Potter.

I read the first one just after the fifth film came out last year and I want to finish them all before the last film is released in the cinema,- May 2011 apparently?!


If you haven’t read them- DO! I LOVE THEM!!!

The non- Easter holidays!

This holidays was rather boring but fun in places! Because of exams drawing closer and closers I have been revising all holiday :(but you have to have breaks :)

Seriously procrastination really kills motivation to revise! I decide to paint my IKEA box draw (isn’t the plywood so ugly- yuck!) But now its looks really lovely! It matches my room!!

Well on the 6th (I remember it for some reason) it snowed! & on the 6th it went :( but mum and I went to Shorne Country Park with her camera to have lots of fun and take lots of picture! When we got there, there wasn’t a card in it –Nooo! So instead of taking lots of pictures we just lots of snow ball fights and making snow angles. But we decide to go home and come back with the card in the camera because the snow looked so pretty! I made a snow man which if I do say so myself looked f-a-b-l-o-u-s!

Mum and I went to Brighton with “The Family” on Saturday which was a lot of fun, we went on the horse carousel, ate candy floss, and went on the penny falls and the ladies paddled in the freezing cold sea! But men being men didn’t take a picture just ate there ice creams :( && we had our photo taken in old fashion clothes with an old fashion camera!! Which everyone was dredging apart from me and Judith! But there coming on Saturday which I really excited about!

I have been in school all this week doing DT coursework which looks okay but I would have thought I would have done better. But I went in today and got some card and my graphics to re-make my box.

Now I must carry on with revising!
