Rocking Boots

Today, check this out, I went out! OuT. As in, left the house, not to do charity work or for school, or attend a religious function, or go to see friends of my mother. Actually out of my own accord. I went to the shopping centre, the one in town, not the one in birmingham, because mum doesn't like me going there, blah blah. I was supposed to be going with Louise and Charlotte and Neela, because Neela and I are engaged and we were meant to be buying the ring. Unfortunatemente, Neela has come down with a horrid virus, and Charlotte's mom and brother have the same thing, so she wasn't so keen on coming with and obviously Neela was out.

So that just left myself and Lou, which was really better, because it's a bit of a bummer to go shopping with a load of people, because they all want to do different things and it's a bit crappy. Either way, it was fine for me, particuliarment as Louise lives quite close to me, and has kooky fashion sense.

I actually arrive only seven minutes late, which was amazing, and I was vair proud of myself

crap, I forgot about this...never mind.

I got some wonder woman underwear, and a tee that says "hip to be square" with a pic of spongebob on it.

THE PATRIOT

So, tonight was post sixteen evening. That's where all the students who want to come to our school for the last two years of education before university can come and look around. Most of the students are internal, so they know the school and are just interested in the specific subject areas, but we get a few students who are the smart cookies in their schools and are considering transferring in. It's a bit of a nerve wracking time, because you have to make the choice whether or not you're going to leave your friends to do something on your own, and even if that's a brave sentiment, it might not necessarily be the best thing to do. Also, it's terrifying. I stayed on at my school, and I'm so thrilled that I did, because everything here fits, I've got my niche, but it also means that I can't really understand how those girls are feeling, as they walk around.

I always volunteer to help out at open evenings, so it made sense to volunteer for post sixteen evenings. Every year I volunteer as a guide, which means you put on your good uniform, you polish your schools and then take a group around your school, answering questions and showing them what they want to see. It can be difficult, because sometimes the people in your group have colliding interests, or sometimes no interests at all! I enjoy guiding because I'm genuinely enthusiastic about our school and passionate about my subjects. As a guide, I can offer insights, answer questions, reassure them and basically, make conversation. Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm pretty good at making conversation. Basically, if I had a calling in life, it would be guiding, or bothering patients in hospitals. Either way, it's a captive audience, and all that talking means I'm not a blabber mouth later on, because I've used up all my conversational skill.

Granted, I've scared a whole lot of potential students. I can't help it! I become relaxed, and there is no thought process when I start speaking. A lot of things which seem funny, are really not, and a lot of things I find funny which again are really not. Luckily, more recently I feel as though I am able to distinguish between what is, and what isn't suitable to say, what's being quirky, and what's being weird, how far you can push the normal social boundaries before people become uncomfortable. Little by little, I'm improving.

So tonight, Kat came to my house first, actually, I'll just go through my day. I woke up this morning with an epiphany. I realised that I had triple booked myself. I was supposed to be doing biology coursework from nine to twelve thirty in the morning, going to a talk on oxbridge at eleven and going to the orthodontist at half past. It's amazing how I had before this not put the thoughts together. I'd spoken about going to the talk, about having to go to the orthodontist and I was very aware of my coursework, but it was only when I woke up that I realised what had happened, and how I was now supposed to be in three places at once. I immediately made a plan. I couldn't cancel biology, nor orthodontist, but I could get someone to tell me about the talk, so I crossed that off my schedule. Unfortunately, that still left me supposed to be at the dentists when I was carrying out an experiment. I mused over the problem while eating my breakfast ( not covered in orange juice- ewww) and alighted on a small fact which could be my saving grace. Someone had mentioned that if you finished the coursework, you could go, you didn't have to stay for the full three and a half hours. However, that would mean for me, finished everything in less than two hours, almost half the time it would take everyone else. I'm not going to outline my biology coursework, but I decided that if instead of doing my repeats after the original experiment, I could do them all together, collect all three sets of data, and finish early enough for my to catch the bus to the surgery which was a risky business in itself, given my prowess at getting the bus.

I started my biology coursework in school, and surprisingly it all ran smoothly, barring a smashing glass incident ( I swear test tubes used to be made out of stronger stuff) and I actually finished before eleven. My teacher looked at my skeptically when I asked if there was anything further for me to do, but after looking at my results said that I had finished the experiment in the shortest time anyone had ever done it, and gotten accurate results. I scampered off out of school, it was second period, and I intended to get back in time to catch the end of the third. After getting the bus ( he charged me a pound, so not fair) I arrived at the surgery, tried to open the door (wrong one genius) then walked calmly through the sliding door. I was called in fairly quickly and although I had been hoping to get the dastardly things taken off, he just put a new set on, a tighter one! Obviously my teeth immediately started to feel tense but I put on a brave face. It was at this point that I realised I didn't have enough money to get back to school (darn that bus driver) so I decided that since my house was within walking distance, I would go home instead, get some paracetamol and then let my mom take me back. While I was walking, I realised that the next three periods I had were history, lunch and then a free, which I was supposed to speak to the french assistant in. I had already missed the beginning of history, but I wasn't worried, as I'm fairly adept at history, and could easily catch up. Lunch would probably be easier at home, not to mention cheaper, and I hated spending that free period with the french assistant.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is when I decided to ditch school.

Yeah you heard me, DITCH SCHOOL. As in, not going to a lesson, because I don't feel like it! I've gotta say I've never done it before, and man is it empowering!

Truth be told, I spent that extra three hours drafting out a french essay on multiculturalisme, but at least I wasn't stuck in school with the stupid french assistant, having to give my opinion on having pets!

I resurfaced in school for sixth period, which was Chemistry, and I kinda needed to be in the class because no one takes it seriously, and thus no one has notes for me to copy up. I was in amazing spirits, having spent the previous three hours eating cookies and enthusiastically colour coding my notes (french law= blue, french politics= red) and basically had a super time. Unfortunately my classmates thought I was high.

So there you have it, ditching class, IS healthy.

Kat and I walked home, we were having a really good time, I think, although I'm sure she was upset about something or other and man does that girl walk slowly. When we got home, Kat amused herself in my room, tinkering with all my stuff and lounging around on my bed, while I changed and then we had tomato soup. Kat's never had tomato soup, can you believe?? She thought it was amazing, as it is. I reassured her that she'd have plenty when she went to university. We watched a french film and then got ready for the post sixteen evening.

Post sixteen evening always makes me feel patriotic about my school. Seriously, by the end I was very close to handcuffing myself to a pillar and refusing to leave. It just feels so great, it's like..my second home. I love love love school. I never wake up in the morning and say "uuuh I don't want to go to schoooool." Sometimes I don't want to get out of bed, and sometimes I don't want to go to a lesson, but I never don't want to go to school. Just thinking about graduating depresses me.

To begin with, I took a family around and met my friends in different rooms. I love that friendly feeling I get when I say hi to my friends in the corridor, and I can see how perfectly I fit in to school, how nice it all is. After that I spent some time in history, with my history homegirls, who were at first appalled at my skipping class, but soon lightened up. Then I went to french and did a double act with Kat, which seemed to go down quite well although I'm sure some teachers were laughing at us. I swung by the library for a little while and gushed about how I loved it before returning to history and chatting to potential historians, while sharing tidbits about the more scandalous side of history. For example, when Louise XIV was in Paris as a child, he fell in a fountain and was too short so he couldn't get out and was eventually found there in the evening. The girl I mentioned that to laughed, but said it couldn't possibly be relevant, to which I retorted that it actually was relevant and that I'd used it in an essay. FYI, it was one of the reasons he created Versailles and moved out of the capital.

At the end of the night, after some more historical bonding, I met up with Kat and her mum, who dropped me home and I wrote this! What a day! Tomorrow is the first day of book club, set up by Nandi. I'm the secretary!! No clue what I do as secretary. I finished reading the musketeers which was great, a very good all round story, I was sad to see it end. I'm currently battling with "far from the maddening crowd" by Hardy, which is difficult, but the plot pulls me on. Haven't had any time to read today, and shan't if I want to get to bed at a decent hour.

I recieved a letter from Yasamin, and also a lot of glitter, I shall reply to you m'dear, but not tonight, as obviously I've been vair vair busy. I also got an email from Jess, in which she revealed that if you live in California, your life is like a montage from the OC. (honest Megz :p)

I hope Melissaaaaaaaaah is betttaaaaar.

Does anyone know what a wolfkin is?

Late night on ward seven

So for the last two days, I've had like..hardly any lessons because my teachers are all AWOL so that suits me fine, after all, i just had three exams! It was pretty cool, is anyone else following the french elections? I'm rooting for Sarkozy, he's the man!....I cannot believe I just said that. Phew.

Also, I love love love Digimon. Although I've watched an unhealthy amount of it in the last week. So not my fault.

Last night, I was a bit worried about going to the hospital, because I hadn't gone in a while, what with being ill and then on holiday, so I was concerned that my placement might have gone to someone else, but luckily that didn't happen! There were SUCH nice people there yesterday. One guy noted the headscarf and said "thank you" in arabic, which obviously I don't speak, but I could understand that. Isn't that sweet? Making such an effort. And this other guy, was going on about how great it was that I was volunteering and helping the community and then there were these two old ladies who were such good fun, they were giggling about one of the doctors on duty and kept telling me how nice their tea was, which was good, because I'm very self concious about my tea. I put like, eight tea bags in for good measure, because there's nothing worse than weak tea! Practically everyone in the entire ward was drinking, so I made two pots, but I got round pretty fast either way, I'd arrived earlier as well, so I had a bit of time to spare. I spoke to the patients for a bit, but visiting hours were really over so most of them had company, and the others were a bit too drugged up to really hold up a conversation. Then I met this nice doctor lady, who asked if I wanted to do medicine, and when I said I was thinking about it, she was like "no no, don't do it" and said I should shadow her and see how awful it is. So I did shadow her and I found out that they still give morphine! I totally didn't know that! Ok, yes, only in small amounts but still. Anyway, it did seem kind of boring, with all the paper work, but it was still fun. I think I might organise a shadowing placement actually, to get to grips with it a bit more. But if I apply for medicine, not only is that the rest of my life, it also means I'd be going to Birmingham and I was kinda looking forward to moving out. This doctor said she went to the imperial college of london, which is awesome, and that was the only reason she moved out. I'd like to apply to Kings I think. At least one London university, but obviously I'm waiting on my results. Oooh it's all kicking off.
Wow, I was so busy this week. On monday I had islamic society, then on tuesday I had french club, and wednesday library duty! Next thursday we're starting a book club, so that should be really good. On the topic of books, I'm reading "The Three Musketeers" by Alex Durmas, although it's the abridged version, so it's much shorter. It's quite good, because it ties into my history lessons, what with the Duke of Buckingham, although it fails to point out that he's very gay...how odd. The characters are all kinda studs, and have mistresses and trysts and all kinds, sometimes consequtively! It's very shocking.
Mr Kearsey was going on about "how far how fast" in chemistry, and I copied it down, but I have like, no clue, so I'm going to read up on it. Infact, I have the book in my lap right now, so I should read up on it in a momento.
I bought Alex, La Haine for christmas and his birthday and really need to give it to him, but he's working alot these days, so there is not much of a chance.
I've made lots of new friends this week, or made people who I randomly see, into close friends although unfortunately the opposite seems true for Minal.
I'm not sure if I've mentioned underworld and underworld evolution. They are tres good films. Kate Beckinsale is awesome. Speaking of, someone stole Kim's pencil case yesterday, and I swear on Kate Beckinsale that it was not me!
Not much else to report. I'm worried that Megan has blocked me, PLEASE UNBLOCK ME PLUMCAKE! Also, I'm getting back to grips with my penfriends, all is good.

SARAH OUT!

Bitesized exams! Dellllish

So there's this book, it's called Twilight and it's so good. Seriously, I read like, three paragraphs and then have to close the book and hyperventilate for a while before I can calm down. Meagan reccomended it to me, tis fantastical.
I had two exams this week, chemistry and biology which went fairly well, I think. I don't think I'm going to repeat them unless I get a C or less.
Urrg, I've got nothing to say so I wont bore you, life is great, but not so great that I can write about it being great. Different kinds of great.

Uuurg got to do biology coursework.

Did I die?

Perchance no! I GOT HOME MY GOD HOME ROCKS SO HARD! Don't you just LOVE LOVE LOVE home? My god I love home. At home, right, you have like, your bed, and your shoes and your clothes and I am SO GODDAMN THRILLED ABOUT BEING HOME I THINK I MIGHT CRY. After I sleep for about three thousand years it's going to be great yayayayayyyyayay.
Megan, I am working on the assumption that you did not, in fact, get drunk alone this christmas holidays, so GO YOU YAYAYAY I was thinking about you lots and lots like jelly tots.

In saudi arabia, despite having kick ass hotels and cheap room service and nazguls, they don't really do christmas.

I was also living in a refugee camp for a week and I didn't get pregnant, I don't think. Go me!!!!


MEllissaaaah I looooove the stuff you sent me! Unfortunately if you take unsuitable literature to saudi arabia you can get arrested, so I have not read it yet. Olive is still at alex's so she has not got her toys yet.

The mail has been been sent to the post office cause we were away, but I CANNOT WAIT TO GET MY STUFF. Jess, you better have liked your gift, we went through PERIL. damn near got thrown out of a library. A library which has probably sent me a fine by now....

Urrrg, we got so badly ripped off. How can people rip you off on the hajj? I do not know, but it soooo happend. Man did we get ripped off.

Friday, December 15, 2006

There she goes.....there she goes again...

Alas, I am going on holiday, and by holiday I mean a religious pilgramage. I hope to achieve spiritual enlightenment, it would be swell. I should be back in about a month, all ready for my january exams. Not.

Also...also nothing. Megan, do not, I repeat, do not get drunk for no reason. You may get drunk on new years and christmas if absolutely necessary, but only with company, NO DRINKING ALONE. Vair sorry I can't be the first to talk to you!

ok

TUBES

Has anyone else seen that video of Laura and Yas singing "you stole my test tube!"? it's really good. They should be in a broadway show. Like yes.

Lottie, is really really really big. If you ever meet her, you will surely spend several hours staring at her and saying "you are realllly big, I feel realllly small."

Also, I saw a hot guy in Beaties (So hot I nearly reordered just to keep sitting there and staring at him) and his name is RYAN. Not Oliver, RYAN.

I have been eating too many sugared almonds, I produce them from my pocket from time to time, it is vair vair amusing.

Urrrrg I sooo need to get a grip, my school work is going so far downhill that it's in a swampy pile at the bottom of the garden and all my teachers are like "are you ok?" and I'm like " LEAVE ME ALONE I WANT MY TIME!" and then I try to go to sleep and my mum is like "it's too early for you to go to sleep" and I object to this blatant ageist notion that I have to go to bed after nine o clock.

My friend Minal got hit by a bird. Ok not really, but she totally could have, and I told our chemistry class that that was why oh no my mum is here bye now

Sugared Almonds!

Today I am updating my blog, because I have not been updating my blog. The reason for this is threefold. Actually, I don't think it is, but I like the word "threefold." Anyway, basically, when I am not doing homework, or feeling guilty about not doing homework, I am obsessing about either ISWAK or Buffy, season six of which I have recently purchased spikeissohotohmygodcantbreathenowonderimnotgettinganyworkdone which although well worth it, means that I spend all night watching (and rewatching) episodes, and then all day in a Buffy flavoured daydream, which is wonderful for General Studies, but not so great for Biology which is so amazingly information heavy that if you don't pay 100% attention and then go home and lesson review then review again at the end of the week and then test yourself at the end of the next week then you are screwed and this represents my situation with much clearness.


Anywayz, look t
here are some sugared almonds on this page, just for you. Actually, I am going to put up some other pictures of other sweeties I like! Oh yay the joys of sugarness ness ness. Megan is so awesome, she's on episode fourteeeen and loving it. Charlotte (harlot) is awful, don't speak to her. Bobbo has clearly lost it and gone power crazy, but we always knew he was edging towards that way so it's not the biggest surprise ever.

Oh...I forgot this was open..I got ...distracted..with some youtube clips...


STOP JUDGING ME

Shame on you who didn't want the full episode! You are missing out I tell you! Megan is on episode 7, which is fairly good, and she loves it, don't you meagan! Just read her blog and it'll tell you! Lottie-love, here is all of episode 2, let me know when, and I'll post the rest :) Alternatively, you could search for it on Youtube. Jessss, I don't know why you don't understand it, it's awesome! Ok, the first episode isn't great, but it's worth it just to get into the series! HONEST. These have better quality so maybe you'll be able to enjoy them more.

Episode 2 -1/2


Episode 2 -2/2


Aiyyooo! They are so good. I've just watched the last, episode 20, and it's so sad! Honestly, I'm an emotional wreck after this series, but it's all good And it's not like it leaves a great gaping hole in your life like somethings. Not to mention it's insanely funny.


Here is an essay for you

Sarah Murano 12Y November 2006

Question 2: Read the following source and then answer the questions.
From King James P. Croft, 2003

"Another issue that caused unease was the fear of "undertaking". A group led by the Commons veteran Sir Henry Neville promised before the opening of the 1614 session to manage the Parliament more productively for the king."

a. Comment on the "manage" in the context of preparations for the Addled Parliament of 1614.

The First Parliament had ended quite unsucessfully, with James being let down on the issues that he had wanted to discuss (The Union) and Parliament feeling that they were being bypassed, particularly as James frequently mentioned that he only used Parliament as they were "convinient." For this reason, to make the second parliament "more productive" would most likely mean to make the parliament more organised, so that issues were discussed more efficiently and more agreements were arrived upon. The "group led by the Commons veteran Sir Henry Neville," therefore "undertook" this task, but the fear was that "manage" meant to fix Parliament in the favour of the King.

b. Explain why the Addled Parliament ended so quickly.

James called the Addled Parliament because he needed money for his son's funeral and his daughter's wedding, but his court was not united in the desire to call Parliament. The Howard Family represented a very strong pro-catholic faction who were against the calling of Parliament, and beforehand attempted to persuade James to do otherwise because Parliament was strongly protestant and would critisize the faction in front of the King, which might cause them to loose favour. Before Parliament was called therefore, they employed "spoiling tactics" such as suggesting that the King would get more money with impositions, rather than with Parliament. They also insinuated that when Henry Neville had promised to "manage" the parliament for the King, he meant that he would pack it with the King's men so that the outcome would be more favourable to the King, although many historians are unsure as to whether this was the case, or fully disagree. Due to this, when Parliament opened, the house was full of mistrust and suspicion towards the King.

After the Bates' Case which had been raised in the First Parliament, in which James used the courts to create a precedent and therefore practically create a new law, Parliament felt that they were being sidestepped because they weren't agreeing with the King's wishes. They knew that the King's main reason to call parliament was for money and so were relucatant to provide him with a large sum, as this would make them redundant for a time, and there was also the worry that James would simply splurge on gifts and banquets as he was well known to do. For these reasons, although James called the Parliament for a subsidy, they did not grant him one. Instead they began discussions on impositions.

The issue of impositions, which were additional taxes "imposed" by the King without being sanctioned by Parliament, had been initially settled in 1606, with the Bates' Case, where the precedent created meant that impositions were to be paid, and not paying them was an illegal offence. However, by this time James was recieving around £70,00 a year in impositions which was about the equivalent of one parliament subsidy, and this bothered Parliament, as they were, as always concerned that James would dissolve them permanently and rule absolutely, without their aid. For this reason they restarted discussions on impositions, but this infuriated James as he felt he was going in circles. The reason for starting the Parliament had been money, and not only were they refusing it to him they were also reviving a topic which had been settled years ago. Granted, England was expiriencing the hardest depression of the centuary, so even if Parliament had been so inclined, they would not have been able to give him an acceptable subsidy.

With Parliament refusing him money, James could not afford to give up impositions, and Parliament also stood firm, refusing to let the issue drop, and so the session went around in circles until James dissolved it only a few weeks later, it having issued no subsidies, and no legislation.

*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.

<3

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Hmmm it'ssss thursday, it's nearly the end of the week! Did anyone see lost? It was the season finaleee and so it was a double bill. I couldn't believe that they actually explained something! Normally it just keeps giving us stuff that doesn't make sense, but they actually explained why they had to push the button, ...before they blew up the entire thing...I suppose they also explained why the plane crashed, but that's just slightly old news isn't it?

I sent some things today! I sent Lottie a letter and a random pack of something I found in my room :p I sent Jess a picture because I was tired and couldn't think what to write, but I'll probably write something later today. I ALSO wrote a letter to Yas (and Laura) and posted it in a really small envelope! It was hillarious in my opinion, but I bet Yas'll be like Wtf...

I had some lovely conversations with Yas and Lottie yesterday. I was [i]trying[/i] to call [i]someone[/i] but [i]they[/i] were otherwise engaged, so I called Yas, who was lovely, and we had a good old giggle about..something. I have no idea what, I laughed a whole lot. Then I called Lottie, and she was great too, hmm let me think of something I said to her..
Lottie (while we were talking about someone)- She's a bit obsessed with secks
Me- Actually, I've been a bit worried that [i]I'm[/i] getting a bit obsessed with secks
Lottie- Yeah, but do you say inappropriate things about secks to complete strangers?
Me- ..........Lottie have you been listening to this conversation?

The funniest thing is there is no way to know who she was talking about because ya'll are obsessed with secks, hehe hehhe.

Today, when I went into school, the common room was locked because we made it all mess it, and it totally wasn't me and it totally isn't fair and I totally don't care anyway because if it's all messy I don't [i]want[/i] to be there. Anyway, we were hanging around outside and I got a phone call, and my first thought is oh my goodness someone's calling me! And then I was like, oh wow it's totally lottie, and then I picked it up and it was minal going "Are you coming into school?" and I was like "I [i]am[/i] in school," silly silly minal.

Then in chemistry, I was sitting infront of the charlotte lookie likeie. I'm feeling much better, because I had a cold on the weekend and missed two days of school, it's a bit difficult to copy up, and I have to do a side and a half of biology on "lipids: structures and functions" So that's going to be a whole world of fun.
