Off to Poland

Well, this could be my last post before I go off to the first European destination of the year.  In the early hours of Saturday morning - about 4ish - we're flying off to Poland for a week for Euronet 2004 - well, Euronet Poland 2004. We're also going to the France one a week later.
But tomorrow we're all going down to see the Clarke family in their new house, and Friday we'll all be frantically packing!
Had a nice weekend, went to Hilary Gyde's birthday party on Saturday.  We went bowling (and I won!  Yay!  Despite having actually forgotten at the beginning how to throw the ball!) then had a barbecue afterwards, which was fun.  We also interrogated Hilary's younger sister, which was also fun!
I stayed over at Amy Mason's that night, because Dad was speaking at a Chippy Churches together meeting in the afternoon.
On Monday we had a dentists appointment (Groan!  I HATE dentists!  I never used to mind until one time he drilled on a nerve - OWWWWWWWW!) but my teeth are fine!  Yay!  After the dentists I went into Ottakars and persuaded Dad to buy me three new books for the holidays :)  They were on a 3 for 2 deal though, and to be fair it will benefit him just as much as it will me!  I got Grim Tuesday, Inkheart and The Book of Dead Days!  Lovely titles, all 3.
I got bored in the afternoon, and became a Friend of Felicity and also joined the club at EverythingGirl.com!  Its really fun, actually.  Well, I think its fun!
Yesterday evening we went to see Shrek 2.  I'd finally managed to persuade Mum and Dad that it would be fun, and that they needed to pay because I have no money!!!  They didn't mind that much, though.  I thought it was very good, especially as it was a sequel, and really funny.
We have a nice lazy day today, I don't think anything is happening, so I'm just going to sit and read and play on Bust-a-Move 2, which I rediscovered 2 days ago, and now need -well OK, want - to complete.
So if I don't get to post again for a while, have a nice summer everyone!

HOLIDAYS!!!!!

Yippee school is finished!!!
This morning was quite fun actually, first of all we just cleaned the school (OK - so that bit wasn't quite so fun!) and then we had a party in our family group, organised by yours truly in the absence of our tutor as he is off in Zambia with the former Y11s.  But the party was really fun - big thanks to everyone who brought food or drink, and who participated in the games, although Chinese Laundry went a bit hectic at the end!! (I got them to bring me a person, as in carry someone else!)  But then we had assembly, and said goodbye to 3 teachers - well, one helper but she's amazingly cool.  She's called Renate and she's from Germany.   She helps because she's on a placement from Germany; and we all love her loads.  We also said goodbye to 4 students, although 2 of them aren't quite sure if they're leaving or not yet.  Then  Harri and I - and other people from the other family groups - had to say what the highlights of our year in connection to family groups had been.  Ours were winning the Family Group Netball Tournament and writing and producing plays and musicals for assemblies, most of them starring D Timms and Jamie Seggie.
Talking of Seggie, Sarah, in answer to your questions he was in our class but left last term to go to New Zealand, because his Dad's in the RAF.  And Seggers because of his surname.  Obviously.  But he used to sing really high in our musicals, and he was up for doing whatever part we gave him so it was cool.  He was Joseph/Danny in our production of the Nativity Grease style last time.  It was very funny.  We sang Donkey Lightning.
Also, Sarah, to answer your other question I  meant when I was FOUR, not FOR!!  Sorry for the confusion, and to anyone else who didn't understand.
Anyway, I'm going to leave and find some way to celebrate being off school - I would go into Oxford with some of my friends to watch Shrek 2, only I'm broke!! Hope you guys have a good time though.
I'VE FINISHED Y10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 MORE DAY IN Y10!!!!!!!!!

Yes, people, tomorrow is our last day of school!!! Whoopee!!
It actually doesn't feel like it at all, but I think that's due to a) 3 pieces of coursework being carried on until today (but now they're FINISHED!!) and b) the fact that our courses carry over to next year, and c) the fact that things like Prize Giving and Sports Day no longer excite me like they used to do when I was for.
Also, apologies for not posting for AGES, but our internet's not working. I have finally given up and am now using my dad's laptop.
I spent my history lesson stuffing envelopes today, because King's are having a 20yrs reunion in September and they're not doing very well on the admin!! Although it was more fun than FDR's New Deal, and plus (this is going to sound really sad) I actually quite like stuffing envelopes. Its very therapeutic.
I'm really bored at the moment, probably because tonight's the first night in about 2 weeks when I haven't been frantically doing stats coursework. However the fact that I'm bored does not mean I'm going to write a really long post, because I'm exhausted and have run out of inspiration for today. It all got used up doing our Speaking and Listening Coursework for English today. But we got our Creative Writing piece back and I got an A, which is cool.
Anyway, I'll love and leave everyone, and Jamie I'm just about to add you to my links so don't worry!!
