The world is spinning around...

Woot, we boke up fro school today, for evah! I have 6 exams to go back for and undoubtedly numerous revision lessons, but them I'm free - I never have to go back ever again. No more assemblies, no more form time, p.s.e., Mrs Taylor boring you to sleep, Mrs Grainger making you uncomfortable and embarassed. No more Lauren Long, Emma Salt, Leah Simms, etc etc etc. Good times.

To mark the occasion, I'm going to thoroughly embarass myself (and, as is only fair, some of you too) in the process of a brief history of my High School Life (while I can still remember)

Year 7; I came to Wood Green on my own cause most of my friends from primary school went to Leckie. The first proper friend I made was Emma Salt.
My year 7 pic **cringe**
For my 12th birthday, we went to Draton Manor

Lauira Clarke had joined us and in year 8, so did some other people - anyone remember Shaka? lmao. During this year though, I slid away from them and started to hang around with Van and Naf (even though Naf hated me) Me and Shane began our extremely functional relationship, and I got closer to Fawne too.

But at the end of the year naf left which left me and Van free to bully Shane and co. Shane didn't like having his picture taken but somebody (Dip or Niall or someone I think) didn't get that memo.

In year 9, endless hours were spent in the library (haha we were cool) or randomly wandering around school. Suddenly Shane was out and us three were quite the happy friendship, even though my moom says it was more like me and Van and our pet Shane =P (though where all the pictures of us all from this time are, I haven't a clue). Sadly, we ate the cupboard story, but I think everyonehelped with this one side 1 and side 2

Me and Van went to Belgium this year - we woke Shane up at about 6 o'clock in the morning =D, refused to get off the coach and look at graves, came back and watched/heard Van being sick on the ferry.

This summer I went to China - me and 'Pinky' on the great wall.

And then we were in year ten!! I took...
 Histroy: endless hours trying to hear what Tim was mumbling, making up stories about Miss Ford and playing "how much would you give this person out of 10" with Cam
French: monday morning shouting at Shane, base conversations with Fawne and many pencil case emptying competitions
Health and Social: a whole hour of pure torture, though Nik, Saranne and Rany's magic life made it bareable.
Music: sitting in practice rooms bitching, and apparently talking about builders...?
And the compulsaries:
Science: every.single.day. NHS, sharks, Mr Foric in general, Mr Bowers, Bean in general and that scary tattooes teacher made it memorable, if not enjoyable.
English: the hate of Mrs Murphy began
Maths: I was yay Sarah for about a day, then spent the rest of my life running away to Nik's desk haha

Which brings us on the the drama which was mine and Nik's friendship. But it all worked out in the end (as far as I know) and we ended up with a big combined group: we would stand around in the rain, or go to the boat in the sun. We even had homework diaries, bless us.

We also Did D of E!!!!! We being me, Van, Shane, Dip, Rob, Mart, Phil, Aaron, Brett, Niall, some other people too maybe... it was serious stuff so no photos were taken

That summer, I was 16, and we went to Sandwell Valley, as you do. For the most mega picnic you've ever seen. There were slides  and even party hats look at Shane and Brett! And this is such a lovely picture of Shane I love it  =D

This summer was the mega 'let's go round rob's and watch films/eat salsa at the park/get drunk on cider' summer. I wasn't there for all of it, partly because I went to WOMAD

Then we were in year 11. Which was the same as year 10 but shorter! Remember these people? Craig, Chris, Mart, Tom, The Hole (totally a person), Dan, Liz and Stace, Saranne, Ash Trustlove

Then, exams were over and we were set free! For my birthday, me, Nik, Rob, Shinton and Mart went to wales. Yo9u've all seen the pictures so I'll give my photobucket a rest =P The rest of the holiday is a bit of a blurr to be honest. Probably more of the same as the year before? oooh no, I spent 3 weeks with Holli. That was awesome to be fair lol.

But all of a sudden, we were back to school for real life again. In 6th form I took:

Psychology: 5 hours a week with Fawne and Van, yey. Lots of work, boo.
English: More of Mrs Murphy =[ and lots of confusion lol
Accounting: Lots of falling asleep but not at all bad.

I also took maths for a while, but then I regained my sanity =]

Year 12 was the year of C, working, hair cutting, camping, wasting money, and avoiding serious work.

Year 13 was the year of unis, 18th Birthday parties, wasting money, attacking our livers with sticks, and the Wetherspoons.

And that's it. Into the unknown I guess!! Can't say I haven't had a blast. I can't think of one thing I'd change /soppy.

school, soppy, memories
