Spent the weekend in Belfast. Yay for no pork recall in Northern Ireland! Had a fry in Nanny's and a sausage bun from a van on the way home today. (I wanted a hot dog, but a sausage bun was the closest thing.) I had a good time in Belfast and got all my Christmas shopping done. Everywhere was so pretty and sparkly with Christmas lights. Although ( Read more... )

Today I went into the field with my camera and it was sunny and windy and there was nothing but open space and sky all around me and I crawled around on my stomach taking pictures of my dog and cat, who had followed me there. I must have snapped at least a hundred pics, and only a small percentage of them are good, but I guess that's the only way ( Read more... )

Had to go into school today because Mr O'D wanted to catch up on some of the Geography project with us. AARGH. One forty-minute class of Geography is bad enough, but three hours? Fortunately the time went by quickly enough and Mr O'D let us out at half twelve instead of one ( Read more... )

I liked the Bourne Ultimatum and I understood what was going on a lot better than in the other two ( Read more... )

There weren't many people in this morning. There was me, Sinead and Liam for the Art exam, Claire and Faye for the German exam and a few boys for the Technical Graphics exam. Eoin turned up too, for some unknown reason. I told him he'd better not have come into school with the sole purpose of distracting us ( Read more... )

Ye gods I'm tired, what with all that water-trampolining and canoeing and wall-climbing. Water-trampolining is FUN. I've never fallen into the water so many times in my life, and I have an extreme fear of falling/being pushed into water. Perhaps I'm slightly over that phobia now. I only almost panicked once, and that was when I fell in for the ( Read more... )

Piano exam on Monday. I feel so unprepared for it! My scales and pieces are adequate, I suppose, but adequate doesn't feel adequate enough. I won't fail (touch wood) but if I don't achieve an Honour I'll feel like I've let myself down. An Honour is the second highest grade you can achieve in an exam. A Distinction is highest, which I've only gotten ( Read more... )

Got up early and was very productive - I was alone in the house so I washed up and tidied up a bit; then I did my French homework and practised the piano. PIANO EXAM IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS. I say this everytime a piano exam looms, but this time I really think that I'm less than prepared. I just can't play arpeggios! My fingers won't hit the notes ( Read more... )

Sky 3 is so crap, it keeps losing the signal whenever I want to watch Futurama. We're going to Belfast on Friday; I suppose the boys and I could all chip in for one of the seasons. But I was half-thinking of buying Family Ties if I see it at a reasonable price.

I rule - I found all my stuff ( Read more... )
