Summer time!

Hello folks, haven't written in a while.

School has been busy this month. There was another Peer Support day which was fun (no grass stains on my clothes that time), the Technology/H.E departments officially blocked off or demolition, and the teachers packing all their teaching resources and materials. Fun.

I can now say that I am happy with my timetable, apart from one subject, but best way to deal in that class is to smile and nod, and then give the teacher a low score on the rating website. Good times.

Friday was interesting as I went to the University of Edinburgh open day. I managed to find out a good deal on a couple of courses I am interested in, and then managed to get lost. However, a suvival tip I have picked up is that you will always find members of your party at a coffee shop. Keep that in mind chaps.

I have another open day tomorrow at the RSAMD, so it will be interesting to see if I get lost. I should mention that it is a straight road from Central station to the University, but it is me...

On a new topic, this week is the last week of term before an 8 week holiday! Thank god for the construction company needing a little more time to complete the new school. I am looking forward to the new school, apart from the 6th years having no social area or, more importantly, no study area. All I can say that it is going to be very interesting in August. In the meantime, I look forward to our fortnight holiday up north. Two weeks of walking, swimming, reading and DVD's! Tis going to be good.

Anyway, I had better go and gag my younger sibling.

Wish me luck.

Grass

Well, today was the Peer Support day at the school. This involved all the sixth years walking down to the Rugby Club and participating in team building activites. Most of these activities either started or ended on the ground.

One activity invloved going over a rope which was held at shoulder height. Nobody told us that the rope could be lowered, therefore everyone was lifting people over the rope and literally throwing them over the rope. I was chucked over by a previous husband of mine and another friend. I ended up on the ground covered with grass. It was fun!

After about an hour or two, we went into the club and ad lunch. We found a juke box near the bar, and so played a lot of music which disgusted a certain Guidence (previously a music teacher).

Anyway, I am going to go now, but here are a few pictures of today's activities.

Can you guess what it is?

Seeing as I have nothing to report on, or moan about, I thought I would upload a few pictures from work and see if anyone can guess what it is.

Good luck!

I am so easily amused.

I found this rather funny. I know that it has not been edited well, but it doesn't really matter.

Look out!

There has not been very much to report on these days. Exams are only a few weeks away, which means study leave. Last year, study leave was fabulous. I remember most of the time in the Burn Braes (and studying of course...). This year will be better as I only have five exams, three of which I am pretty confident with.

Anyway, this weekend I turn seventeen. This of course means driving lessons. I am rather excited about this, though I have been notified by my sister that I am to become her personal taxi. We shall see. I have also been told that neither one of my parents are taking me out driving at all. Oh well.

Anyway, I have to go. I shall leave you with a video from The Cardigans. They are jolly good!

Long Time, No See

It has been a while since I have written. To tell the truth, which is always wise, apart from my two outing in the first week of the Easter holidays and the trip to the cinema to see 17 Again for my sister's birthday, nothing has really been interesting to report on.

The trip to the Doctor Who Exhibition was fabulous! Standing in front of David Tennant's jacket, and then grinning next to his picture was a wonderful treat. I know, I am terribly sad, but I was not the only one grinning in front of costumes.

We went to the Zoo that week as well, and again, it was fabulous. It didn't rain, which is always a bonus when you live in Scotland, though we all had to look after two young ladies, who told me that if I do not marry in the next three years, I will be in big trouble with the law. Never mind that I have already been married 3 times.

The cinema was an interesting experience. Firstly, the film itself wasn't that bad, but I took a book with me just in case. Secondly, I will now b paying attention to who I sit next to in the cinema, as I do not want a loud description of how Zac Efron's six-pack is "drop dead gorgeous".

Anyway, I am now back to school, feels like I was never away, and the exams are fast approaching. I should probably go and study now.

Au revoir.

Beatboxing.

Normally, I don't really listen to beatboxing. I just never really got into it. But I found this on youtube, and thought it was simply brilliant. I can assure you that the man in the video is playing the flute.



Oh, and this one!



In other news, I am going to a Jazz gig at the local theatre. Second time in two weeks that I am doing front of house. Hopefully this time, I will not be left to do it all by myself. Anyway I am going now to practice beatboxing on my flute!
