I found time to blog! Go me

I never realised how tiring exams are. We get study leave but that time is spemt revising, perhaps because I did very little beforehand. Hmmm hindsight... Well, only one week and five exams left

So far I know that I completely messed up three subjects; History, Art and Physics. Hopefully though, these are redeemable. I have another History exam tomorrow, fingers crossed I will do better in this one (I have actually revised this time)and they'll take an average. On Thursday I have the second part of the art exam, in five hours I have to repaint practically the whole thing, just was not in an 'arty' mood last thursday. Physics always was ging to be a disaster, as was chemistry, but I don't think I did to badly, for me, in biology or chemistry. That should mean that I get an average score in science overall.

Yesterday me, Holly, Adele and Lyd went into town, guess who we saw there? A bunch of JCU people of course. And with them was Dani, even though she'd told me she wouldn't be allowed out all weekend. I was mad. Angry. Angry. Angry.

But of course I don't want to lose my best friend, so I didn't know what to say.

I thought about it the whole afternoon. And in the end I decided it would be easiest just to come out with it, we're supposed to be going on holiday together next week- I didn't want us to still be as distant. So, I texted her on the way back. I asked if she was avoiding me, and of course she said no. There was more, but the jist of it is she hadn't really realised how much she'd change. We've been talking today like normal, so hopefully...the holiday will rule!!!

other, friends

I *owe* a proper post about Staurday, and when I get chance I will try to.

Right now, suffice to say it was a great day! We skated in the early afternoon, where I made many new friends, people from the Boy's School and Dani's church club thing. (The JCU people are lovelly, it's the principle of it that I'm against...but that's a different story.)

Whilst the skating was great

the train journey back was the highlight of my day. We had to take two trains, one from the rink into the city centre and one from the city to a smaller town nearer where most of us live. the total journey time was about an hour and a half. Which would have been boring, had we not been with interesting people! Since there were so many of us, about 40 in total, we could not sit together on the train and instead split up into smaller groups.

I got seperated from the birthday girls, and instead ended up in a group with some other friends. There were a few girls that I'm in various classes with and a couple boys from the other school. There were'nt any seats so we sat in the corridor section, by the doors, and went hyper, all of us having a great laugh. The journey went too fast!

When we got back to town we tried to go to Pizza Hut for dinner, but they aparently could not make anough food to serve twenty people. (Not everyone went, which was a bit of a drama. But we're a bunch of teenage girls- there are bound to be dramas!) So, instead we went to McDonalds. I'm a bit of a 'health freak', and so, although I don't mind it, I don't eat McDonalds very often. After we'd eaten several people felt ill, so Rob (a guy who I had met before, but only really made friends with on Saturday. He's a very cool guy;)) and I decided to go on 'strike' from McyD's. Only we had to make a couple exceptions to the 'strike'- fries, McFlurries and, at Rob's insistence, the milkshakes.

After McDonalds most people went home. But I really couldn't be bothered to go- staying out was my excuse for not revising! So I stayed in town for a while with a few people. Dani had been quite tired all day, and by this point she was exhausted. Normal people when they get tired just go quiet... But Dani? No, she becomes "stoned", strange really, since she doesn't drink and she mot certainly does not take drugs!

So we were sitting on the steps outside the shopping centre and Dani decided to lie down. Then she started laughing hysterically, and we all went a little hyper again.

Apologies for the appalling quality of this blog. I'll try to reerite it when I get chance!

rant, friends, religion

Over easter a group of my friends went on a trip to Wales with a local religious group known as 'JCU'. They originally went simply to give them something to do, but they seem to have returned with completely different view points. All day at school they were raving about it, saying how their lives have been completely changed.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against religion or god. People are perfectly welcome to be as religious/non-religious as they like. But I find it a little strange that some of my closest friends went there expecting it to be all "preachified" and came back raving about how their entire lives had been put into a new light. Apparently they spent a lot of their time paying and singing and worshipping. Dani said that she cried every night she was there, but that she feels better for it. And she has gotten obsessed with reading the bible.

Personally I don't believe in God, I use the standard arguments...about how much sadness and pain there is in the world etc. But I also feel that if I were truly meant to be religious I would have some sort of "experience" or there would be a sign. Something that would be personal to me. Perhaps I'm just not the religious type.

I know it sounds like I'm complaining, or being selfish, I don't mean to be, I'm just finding it a little difficult to watch my friends change from being normal...to slightly depressed/moody after one trip and then completely happy/enlightened/religious after a second trip. I wonder what will happen in the next trip?

Sorry for posting yet another rant

I'll try to cheer up for next time

friends

I've been too busy to post an [of the day] but I promise I'll get round to it soon.

Right now I have an update to give, I have a new friend! Or rather, an old friend back. Al and I were best friends throughout the final two years of primary school, we were inseperable. We understood each other perfectly and got on 'like a house on fire'. Then came the end of year six, we were "grown up" going to "big school" but we were both going to different schools. Niether of us went to the local comp'. I went to a girls grammar school in one town and he went to a boys grammar school in another.

Every few months we'd see each other, on the net or talk through mutual friends, but gradually our contact became less and less. Untill for a year we didn't speak at all. Then last summer I added him on my msn account, but we had little to say to each other. So we stopped talking again.

Last Saturday Al added me on a different site, and we got to talking again, but this time we hit it off. We spent all of our credit texting each other, and almost an hour on the phone this evening. We've even aranged to meet next weekend.

Isn't it great! I love happy endings, and I so hope this will be one. We've promised not to lose contact with each other again, and now we have to work to keep that promise.

On the downside, Dani's abroad at the moment so school is incredibly boring. I have friends their, but no-one who understands me quite like her...she's back soon though.
