I'VE DONE MY SILVER DUKE OF EDINBURGH EXPEDITION HURRAH. It was fun as well as majorly painful on my feet. Owie ow. I don't ache, just my feet hurt when I walk and I sort of have to hobble about now in the manner of some ancient pensioner.

I walked 50km over three days and have somehow managed to gain 4lbs. Huh?

DofE was brilliant fun. At points. At other points it was just like, 'UGHHH why am I doing this to myself again?' I must be a sucker for punishment.

Just got back from DofE. Feet = very sore. Maths coursework = so not done.

Will do a full update avec picspam later.

Okay, lots has happened since I've last updated so I'll try and go through this on order.

SATs
Okay, so the good part was the getting-up-late-going-home-early thing. I did like that, and think I may have slept better than usual. The exams themselves went... okay, overall. Science 1 was easy, Science 2 was hard. Maths was hard, 'cept for the mental ( Read more... )

Margaret has given up eating between meals for Lent, because Margaret wants to be healthy. Unfortunately, Margaret is hungry, and Margaret being hungry generally makes her cranky. So, sorry if I've snapped at you, okay? It must be the chocolate deprivation ( Read more... )

Today was one of those 'mneh' days. I've lost my DofE book, and we have a meeting tomorrow. Will Mr. Thingy kill me ( Read more... )
