I might be going to China!!!!!

Seriously, I might be!
Last September the Librarian from my school library moved to Beijing with her husband to help run "Good Hope Childrens Home" for orphaned kids. Now my school has decided to send a group of girls (not surprising since it is an all girls school) over to China to spend some time helping at the home and seeing some sights in Beijing! Dani and I are very interested in going and my mum has said that I can go, as long as I pay some of the money. It's going to be very expensive, and it will be difficult to raise the money because the trip is October this year. Just nine months away! But I managed to earn money to go to Japan so I think I'll manage this, plus I have a good record with Mum and Alan for repaying debts so I hope they'll lend me some money. Oh, I so hope I get a place on the trip. And Dani better be able to go too, cause I'd be too scared to go without her.
This is one of those few moments when I actually like my school...They give us some great opportunities!
It's still sinking in...I might actually go to China. China! CHINA!!! This is one thing I never thought I'd get to do.
I'd be so gutted if I couldn't go now.
Right, I'd better think about something else, or I'm never going to get anything done. I have art coursework to do...grrr. I love art but this is just prep work now 'cause I've finished my final piece. I think it's due in on Thursday but I'm not really sure because the teacher has extended the deadline about a trillion times.
Argh I failed four more tests today, seriously I think there's something wrong with me, I never seem to do well in assessments. Two of them were German, all of them were a surprise. No shock that I didn't pass them really!!! Doesn't help that I'm not well, I got that bug that Dani had last week. My voice sounds like a frog and my eyes are watering so much that I was asked at least once in every lesson today if I'd been crying. Arghhh. So I'm skiving off Orchestra tonight so I'll be healthy for tomorrow.
The reason I want to be healthy tomorrow? Well, we are having a charity day at school, which means we have five shortened periods in the morning, a late lunch, and then the entire afternoon is dedicated to charity events. All of the forms are supposed to do something, but ours hasn't come up wih anything yet and this thing is tomorrow! Ooooops. Well I'm going to be supporting the other activities anyway. The best thing about the charity day is (and I know this is really selfish but...) we get a non-uniform day, and this is great because for once we will not look like the Umpa Lumpas from the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We have to pay for it so it does benifit everyone.
Anyway, I gotta stop writing this essay-blog and do some drawing....ciow
