Alice in Wonderland

- the musical -

The division V and VI classes did their last part of the play this evening. They had two versions, because some of the kids wanted to be different characters, so they switched positions (obviously on the two nights). It was quite good, yet I'm so glad it's over because we don't need to be spending ages helping to make the props, costumes and getting everything ready and sorted. Which is also what brings me to the excitement of the holidays. The one thing I love about being a gap student in the U.K is the amount of holidays we get in a year, every five weeks we either get a long holiday (Easter, Summer, Christmas) and the one week in between for every other holiday there is. :)

Looking forward to the weekend

Tomorrow is the last day of the Spring term! And because of that, that means.... HOLIDAYS! Which go on for the whole month of April, ending on the 2nd of May. I'm so excited because these April/Easter holidays, I'll be going to Scotland, followed by Ireland, and ending in England, travelling through London and its surroundings. I've finally booked all the tours, accommodation, flights, tickets, and everything else that goes into organising these kind of things. But blimy, it was stressful, although it will definitely be worth it.

Today felt like a really long day that just seemed to drag on, hour after hour after hour. The main school had hymn practice this morning, then followed on by my duties with the junior school, and then the typical maths, and reading lessons. I did get to catch up a little bit with Bryan, Don and Nathan. I still feel bad because I normally always talk to these guys heaps, but lately I haven't been because I'm/they're so busy with life and everything else that goes along with it.

But in all, everything's all good. I'm content. :)

Mother's Day, UK

Mother's day here in the United Kingdom will be celebrated on the 3rd of April this year, whereas, in Australia, it will be celebrated something rather in May? So my mother's day gift will most likely be a long email with a few youtube videos, and a thank you email. Only because I didn't realise that it would be mother's day here, and I know I need to thank her for heaps. :)

Such a great day!

I don't even know where to begin! I was with pre-prep this morning, just doing little assessments and things like that. And then I had maths, followed by division III reading.

What made my day a brighter was catching up with my friend Marcus, who I haven't spoken to in a month (or maybe even longer than that). So it was really good to catch up with him.

There weren't many boarders tonight, but despite that, the division V and VI class put on a musical play of Alice in Wonderland, so we all (including parents) spent the rest of the evening watching that. It was great fun, and I've realised how much I miss sitting down and watching something entertaining, that was school related.

To top of this fantastic day, I received a call from mother dear, giving a heads up for my Summer bookings. I'll be going on a 32 day camping trip around Europe with the other gap student who lives with me. The tour will be on during both our birthdays. And we'll be travelling to the following countries: England, France, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Greece, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium!! I'm so excited! I'll be celebrating my 19th birthday sailing in and amongst the Greek islands!!!!! :):)

British Census 2011

I'm not sure if it's illegal to take photos and post it up, but anyways. Some of the questions were well weird, such as "Question 17, this is not a question. Move to 18" Haha. Made me literally laugh out loud. But the interesting thing about a census is that it gets published 100 years from now, making it easy for descendants to track down ancestors. I find that way awesome. But anyways, I was finding it weird answering questions about my ethnicity (which is Filipino), whereas my nationality is Australian. Well weird. But it was fun... I guess :P
