Anything to not do work!

Good afternoon all! I hope we are all well.

This afternoon I wish to discuss a few things again. The first of which is the weather. Today was, apparently, meant to be the hottest day of the year. Yet it is now cold and raining. Why can the Met office never get it right? They say it's meant to be sunny with clouds tomorrow, and I hope it is, because the kids at school don't burn off their excess energy when they have indoor play, and there are so many more problems when they don't go outside. I also hope that we haven't had the hot summer that's meant to follow a very cold winter already, because that would suck. I go home from uni on the 25th May but if it's a crappy summer I will be stuck inside, going insane, for the entire thing. Bring back the good old hot British Summer! I want ice cream on the pier!

The next is the ridiculous amount of work I have to do. I don't feel like it is that much, but then I remember something ELSE I have to do and then I start to panic. I thought I had finished my subject knowledge files, but my English one is looking too thin, even though it did take me a while to do. Not the alloted 30 hours of course, but it took me a fair amount of time. Ahhh why do we do this to ourselves?! Why don't we do work when it gets set?! I'll tell you why. Because we don't anticipate that we will have assignments in for every topic within a week of each other. I hate this!! I want to be enjoying my weekend away from school, not having to get up at half 6, but I'm here 'doing work' ... aka doing anything other than work! And realistically I only have one night this week to do work - Monday night Palace are playing West Brom on tv, so GOT to watch that, Wednesday-Friday I'm away with the children from my school on a residential [which I'm REALLY excited about!!], so Tuesday is the only night this week that I can realistically do any work. And I am going to the Palace match against Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday, so that is another day gone - however there is a bank holiday on the Monday so not too bad. Oh Oh Oh! I have just received a phonecall telling me that the emails asking for Maths and English subject knowledge files have been sent out soooo I have not received one, meaning I am most likely safe from the terrors of handing mine in! Oh the joys!

I'm so happy about that I'm going to go celebrate.

Love and peace,

It's been a while

Good evening all! I hope we are all well.

This evening I wish to discuss a few things.

First of all, I am proud to say I got sunburnt over my Easter holidays, at home, in Purley. It was 18 degrees centigrade apparently, and I did not anticipate that I would be in the sun ALL DAY. I was asked to work at my tennis club from half 9 until half 12, and that was fine, so there I went with my friend Emma from down the road in the car. The next thing I knew I was being asked to work all day, and due to my need for money I obviously agreed, not really appreciating that I didn't really have the time to go for lunch. But half 12 came, and after watching Dan attempt to change the tyre on his car I went home to grab some lunch, assuming John would be in to drive me back for half 1. I was wrong; he was not in. So I grabbed a banana sandwich and ran to get the bus back - thank God for Amy's oyster card! I managed to get back and was only 3 minutes late. At this point I realised I hadn't left my jumper at the tennis club, contrary to my earlier thoughts, so I text Emma asking if my jumper was in her car. It was not. Know where it was? In Dan's car. I was next to his car for 2 minutes and I managed to leave my jumper in it. Anyway, in my quick lunch break I hadn't managed to get any sun cream, so I burnt that afternoon. Which then threw my outfit for that night's trip to Tiger out the window! So I had to wear a sleeved dress. Boo! End of part 1.

Secondly, I will talk about a great night out I had over Easter. Lydia, Joe and I all started off going to Tesco and purchasing a lot of alcohol - around £35 worth? - including the biggest bottle of Vodka I have ever seen! :
It was 1.5 litres. Wowza I think is in order! We made a few jugs of Woo Woo, Sex on the Beach, Vodka, Schnapps and OJ then Lemonade and then some Vodka Jelly [which didn't set] lol. So you'd be right if you thought we would be rather drunk! Here is a photo of me DOWNING the jelly:
Courtesy of Luke! Not sure if that's what made me ill? Most probably was. Anyway, after all this downing, having my nails painted by Lewis, and random/weird photos being taken, we left to get the bus to tiger at the early hour of 8 pm. Those of us that got in were in by 9. Had 3 glasses of Champagne and was home by 1.45. Good times! Until I was horrendously ill. But that is all part of a good night out!

Thirdly [and finally] I wish to talk about appreciation. When I was 4, I visited Malaysia for the first time. As far as I remember, I loved it. Then, when I was 11, my Dad moved there for 3 years. I visited him 5 times [free flights each time lol] and I loved it each and every time. And obviously, it was a family holiday. I have also been to Thailand, Singapore, Borneo, USA [many parts of it] France, Spain, Lanzarote, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy. I loved every one of them. I love travelling, I would do it for my entire life if I could. I know other people who are also well travelled, who go skiing every year, go on great holidays every year, yet it isn't appreciated by the 14 year old. She cried the whole night before and morning that they were leaving, and wrote it all over Facebook that she didn't want to go. Okay then, you don't go, I will go in your place. ANYONE would happily go in her place. Silly girl.

Anyway, that's me done - only taken me about 2 hours to write this!

Love and peace to all,
