*holds head in hands*

Owww...I'm tired..my head hurts...so sufice to say that the party last night was amazing. I looked so cute in my dress! If you want to see pictures, ask me and I'll send them.
I was wearing my maryjanes, and that was awesome, because they are unbelievably comfortable, and by the end of the night (when it was just getting good) everyone else was like "oh god cut off my feet" because their stilletos were killing them, and I was like *boogies.* That said, by the end, even my feet were a little sore, probably because of all the dancing..
To begin with, just after desert, Fatimah and me stole the boombox, and set it up in kitchen playing dashboard confessional, while we sat on the floor and ate cake. I loved that, we were like..the weird girls you see when you are leaving a party. Then we played all these fifties songs and danced to them, and everyone who walked by thought we were crazy, and the little kids came in and watched us, and we knew that they'd remember seeing these crazy girls dancing in the kitchen.
After a while, when the first people started to disperse, we stole the dancefloor with our fifties toones, and forgot that we were right at the front of the room and everyone was looking at us, and just had some fun. At about half nine, my mum left, and actually said I should get a lift with someone, instead of dragging me home with her, so I am eternally grateful, I'd have hated to have left before the end. So we stayed until quite late, and then suddenly they were like "we have to give the hall back in ten minutes" so we ran around like crazy trying to tidy everything, and in my cake, trying to lick the icing off my fingers.


Ahhh, twas a fab night. After that, I feel ready to do all the work, and get back into school. I feeeeeel inspired. Everything is going to be better now, maybe.

Season six of buffy, which I ordered on Wednesday, didn't arrive yesterday and today, because of some ridiculous not working on sunday thing, it didn't come either! I have an inset day tomorrow, so hopefully it'll come then. FINGERS CROSSED.

Argg, I've got so much homework to do. I'm sure it'll get done eventually.

It's been nice on msn this week, I had a great conversation with Melissah yesterday, and Lottie of course. Meag is particularly nice to talk to on msn, and Jess too! Sometimes, I worry about how unbelievably nice my friends are...

In other news, I saw the lyrics for "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's on Kiwi's blog, and so I listened to it. I am totally addicted now. In fact I have to go and listen for my daily dose. I started singing it yesterday I think..

Hey there Delilah, you be good and don't you miss me, two more years and you'll be done with school and I'll be making history like I do. You'll know it's all because of you.

A Narrative

We were sitting in general studies, otherwise known as a collosal waste of time talking about marketing when I first bring it up.

"I'm changing my name," I say, whilst drawing a cat on my friend's work book.

"What?" Says Charlotte.

"My name, I'm changing it."

"To what?"

"To Tabia?"

"What? Why?"

"It's my code name."

"Your code name is Tibia?"

"Tabia."

"How come you get a code name," says Louise, interrupting.

I shrug.

"You can have one if you want."

"I'm Lulu, or Lolly"

"Oh me me me me, what's my code name?" Asks Charlotte.

"Kiwi?" I suggest

"YAaah! Kiwi," exclaims Charlotte, practically vibrating with glee.

"Wait, Sarah-"

"Tabia," I correct

"Whatever, Tabia, I thought you changed your name last week to 'Rawr,"

I consider this.

"Yes, you're right, I did, but now I'm changing it again. To Tabia."

"So what do we call you and stop doodling cats all over my work,"

"Call me Tabia..whenever I'm wearing my Tabia costume," I decide.

"And that is?"

I point.

"Oh right."

"But Sarah-" Charlotte begins.

"Tabia."

"Yeah, Tabia, you're always wearing your Tabia costume when we see you.

"Well then I guess you'll always be calling me Tabia."

"Let me get this straight," starts Louise, "When you're wearing you "Tabia Costume" we call you Tabia, when you aren't we call you Sarah?"

"No, when I'm not you call me 'Rawr, like we agreed last week."

"We did not, last week we agreed to call you 'Rawr normally, none of this Taybiah
stuff."

I consider this while shading in my cat.

"Ok, well that's the rule from now on."

"When do we call you Sarah?"

I pause and frown slightly.

"Call me Sarah...whenever my mum's around."

"Riiiiight..."

We gather our things and leave the class room, walking down the stairs.

"You know Sarah, I think you've lost it," states Charlotte.

"It's TABIA!!!" I shriek before hitting her with my bag and running away. "And I don't think I had it to begin with."

I love that advert, you know the one, with the bouncy balls?

Yeah you know it. Everyone knows it. They show it in the cinema. It's one of my favourite adverts of all time. I also like the one with the paint, but it makes me sad because all the paint gets wasted.

I'm in school and i ought to be using my free efficiently, but I'm out of paper, and it's friday, and I don't want to really. I have a general studies essay to do, it's on unemployment, but there isn't a title so I don't really know what I'm meant to do. I also have a history essay, it's going to take ages because it's a 25 mark one, although split into 3, 7, 15 marks. But still. I am not so keen on source based papers, because it's harder to relate what you know to a source, but I suppose if you are in the exam you are grateful for a source as it triggers your memory. I hope I get better at my subjects as I go on. I am pretty good at history, I got a nine out of ten on my last essay and always get "excellents" but I think I still need to get better, because I'm writing at GCSE level, albeit a high GCSE level.

<3

In Biology I did a test this week, as we do a lot of tests this week. This is the week that they find out how we have been progressing, although it seems to soon for them to determine anything, but I suppose it's not really been so short a time. In biology I did really well, I think I got the highest in the glass, 93%, and the only other girl who got that is redoing her year anyway, so I don't really think that counts. We have to do an independant study and I really don't think I did that right, but I do not mind because the teacher will probably go through it and then I'll understand.

<3

In Chemistry the last test I did I got a B, which was ok, but I did another test and I'll get the marks back today and I hope hope hope I got an A, because I really want to do well. After all, Lulu managed to get all As and a B, and although he is somewhat smarter than me, I am a girl, and girls can work harder. Also I am not trying to be a moderator on the ASoUE website, so that should also improve my work.

<3

The only thing which isn't really going great is my french, but maybe that will change next week. I am currently working at a C, which is not good, because I do not want to get a C at the end of the year. I would like all Bs, except for General studies, because I do not care about general studies. I suppose I will have to work harder than usual to try and improve, but it so difficult to improve something you need to improve. It's much easier to improve something you are good at to begin with, if that makes sense.

<3

I'm working at the hair dressers tomorrow. i'm going to do the rest of my biology self study because I'll be sitting and the desk, and I ordered a text book in the post which came yesterday so I was pleased. I'll also be able to revise my biology that I did this week, and plan my history essay I hope. I will be there for nine hours, 9 'til 6 which is a very long day to work, but I think that's alright, because I wont be working hard and I can do my homework at the same time. Also there is every chance that I will not be doing it every week, so it doesn't really matter. I wonder if I will get paid. I do not mind if I don't, but it would be nice if I was paid a little. Then again, one cannot expect to save the world if one expects a fee.

<3

I've become a bit worried that i'm not doing enough extra curricular activities. I know you are all sighing and saying that I do, but I want to go a really really good university, and to do that you need wonderfully good extra curricular activities. This is a worry for me, because although I do a little already, I would like to do more, but I would need to vary it, maybe to do something with children, and I don't know when I could do that. Also, I do not want it to intrude on my work, although I should point out that I think the more you have to do, the more you manage to do and you sometimes manage to do it better. Or at least I do.

<3

I haven't managed to do a lot of reading today, in between finishing working at 8.30 and then wanting to go to bed at 9.30. I blame the computer because I tend to read a silly fan fic or watch something on youtube instead of going to bed and reading a book. I am sleeping a lovely amount, last night I went to bed at 11, but I had slept so much on all the other days that it really made no difference and I feel fine. Tomorrow I will be able to sleep in an extra half an hour hurray!

<3

Yas and I were revising biology on the phone the other day because she was sick and I wanted to talk to her but I had to revise biology. I think we can safely say that revising with Yas is very effective. I hope you are feeling better Duckie!

<3

I got a new dress, it's very cute, Charlotte thinks so, it is funny when Charlotte calls on the home phone and my mum says "It is someone called Charlotte" and I'm like, hehehehehe. But we do not talk for long because I have lots to do and I also have other people that I need to talk to :)

<3

This is the week that I do not really do much, as I don't do the hospital nor do I do the settlment shop, so I should try and review all of my work before next week starts. I know it will be the week before half term but our teachers will probably give us a lot to do. Apparently one should start doing their UCAS as soon as possible and not wait until the deadline, because that is a very dangerous thing to do, and you fall behind in everything else. I would like very much to start drafting out my UCAS, but I do not know what course I am applying for, or at what university, and I don't think I will know until I get my AS results. When I do, I shall write it, that very same day. Well maybe not the very same day.

<3

Laura says that there was a bomb scare in Yorkshire, she called my specifically to tell me. She said she would like spice girls at her funeral. I told her I would not to that. She said that I should respect the dead, I said that she would not be there to be disrespected. We parted ways amiably.

And if you haven't worked out who the emo hearts (they aren't really meant to be emo, I just don't know how to do any other hearts) are for, you are very silly.

Also, my friends all agree that changing my name to "Sarawr" and then shortening it to "'Rawr" is the cutest thing ever. Scarily cute was the opinion of some, but they have agreed to call me it.

*drowns*

I am so unbelievably swamped with work. I have about three tests this week and I haven't started revising yet, the first of which is a french verb test tomorrow, arrrrg
je assieds
tu assieds
il elle on assied
nous asseyons
vous asseyez
ils elles asseyent

I think that's right. I haven't been able to write anyone back, or email any one properly or actually call anyone unless it was about work! I'm so busy! And the whole fasting thing doesn't make it easier. I mean fasting is a piece of cake, but the going to peoples houses and talking to them and things! WOW. I'm busy,

In other news, I have decided I want to dedicate my life to helping others. I came to this conclusion at the hospital on friday while I was reading the newspaper to Edna who may or may not have been deaf. Also, I'm helping one my mum's friends who is my friend in her hairdressers this saturday, for free, cause I'm lovely like that.

SARAH OUT!

Chaaannngess

I was getting sick of seeing the same blog again and again so I figured all you guys must too and I so have updated. But it will probably be really short.
I got my braces fixed today, so I am offically a brace face!!! Hurray. I was worried that it would hurt, so I went to my happy place, and had heap big fun with Lottie, Jess and Yas. We were all getting married, and Lottie kept trying to open the wedding presents and Jess was like "Stop that!!" because we weren't even married yet. And Jess said that she wanted to be the man, and I was like why and she was like why not, so I told her she had to put something down there to give the impression and she got all grossed out. Ho ho then Yas sang the kiwimarshmallow song. Thanks for the letter by the way Yas. And Lottie, thank goodness for all those feathers. I had a dream about Lottie and Jess last night. not that kind of dream.
Smiling is a bit weird, I'm supposed to be in class right now, so I had better go. Toodles
