Ho, hum, back to the grindstone.
I started back at sixth form on Friday (what a weird, pointless day to go back!)
They’ve completely changed the structure of the school day and I hate it. We have to be in at 8:30! I don’t usually leave my house until 8:30 on a good day! Then, we have form, then two hour long lessons, then break. After break, we have ANOTHER two hour lessons before an hour for lunch and then another lesson. Seriously, what is the point in that? We only finish half an hour earlier than we used to and now no-one can concentrate for TWO lessons before lunch, instead of one. Also, it means even if you only have fourth lesson, you have to stay in school for three, pointless hours.
It’s horrible and stupid and the school didn’t listen at all to the parent’s or student’s opinions one little bit. It’s just a way for our useless head teacher to be a ‘pioneer’
However, my timetable is rather nice. It looks like this:
Although I will have to give up… two frees for the German assistant, I like the fact that I only ever have one lesson on a Tuesday and can go home by 10:45 and have lots of afternoons off. Actually, the only thing I’m unhappy with at the moment, is the fact that my only full day is on a Monday - the day I MOST want to go home and sleep!
Anyway, we started back on a Week B and did formy type things until 3rd, which was German, and cancelled. So I technically had a completely free day. But I just sat in the block and caught up with people and played cards - I actually won at Cheat, for the first time ever! It was really nice seeing everyone again.
I saw Mr. Lewis and yelled ‘I passed AND I got an A!’
And he replied with ‘I know! I love you! Although I don’t know how the examiners managed to decipher your scrawl. But well done!’ and gave me a hug. He’s defiantly back in my good books and I’m actually going to put in effort for him this year.
I like being a year 13. It’s very nice being one of the oldest in the school and also having Rhys and Trig and Lisa and such in the block.
Also, Eddi had been to France and brought back a Tokio Hotel poster book for Sarah and I to share. It actually works out really well, because she’s a Tom fan, so she gets all the Tom, I get all the Bill and we share the G’s out equally. It also meant I got this fantastic poster. Bill is singing to Georg, who is grinding his bass and then there is an insert of Tom, pulling an ‘orgasm’ face XD
I walked home with Rhys and Ray. Some year 7s started on us! Seriously, they’ve been in comprehensive all of two days, were about 4 ft high,. And decided tom try and pick a fight with sixth formers! It was actually really funny. They calles Rhys’ skinnies ‘skimpies’
That evening, we came home and had a Chinese as a kind of farewell to the summer holidays.
I really, really mean it when I say I’m going to work this year. I somehow managed to get good enough grades in my AS’s… but I still think that was a fluke and I really need the grades this year. Especially now I’m all but set on trying for Kings. But yes… a lot less time procrastinating and sleeping in the day… a lot more time studying, reading and doing essays. And this time, I actually mean it… so if I’m spending way too much time on here CHUCK ME OFF! Hopefully things will be easier now I have more frees… but saying that, now Rhys is in sixthform too, all hell may well break loose!
Today, there was a party type thing at Rhys and Beth’s house because it was Bethan’s birthday while she was away in Africa. It was a family thing, but I’m practically family haha, so I went too, and so did Meg. Their little cousins were immensely loud and hyper, but we all took shelter up in Rhys’ bedroom and ate smarties.
