Sligo was OK. The Youth for Justice thing was held in the conference room of a hotel; there were about ten schools there, and each got their own billboard to display their projects on. Ours looked the best, yay. We brought so much stuff with us that we had to sellotape the banner with the school's name on it to the walls. The little seperate ( Read more... )

I'd forgotten that sunburn hurts. Ow.

Also, my hands are starting to get a little series of raised red bumps near the thumb area. I remember this rash-thing from last summer; it was all over my hands then. So, my hands are going to go from dry and cracked to red and with a rash? Great.

Thanks to everyone who suggested what to do with my fanfic problem! *hugs all round* The suggestions were really helpful and all the ideas were tempting to use, but I'm going to go with anivad's idea; it seems most convenient and actually fits in with something else I was going to do with the story before I decided it would make things messier than they ( Read more... )

My stomach ache got worse last night and while I was going to bed, brushing my teeth etc. I was literally bent double, my upper body parallel to the floor. Ow. I still felt sick this morning so I took the morning off, and then my mother drove me into school at lunch.

Today it snowed, but the ground was wet and it all melted, but the first years were scraping what little there was off the top of the teachers' cars and making snowballs anyway. More like slushballs. Mixed with gravel ( Read more... )

My day so far: got up at half nine, breakfast, Irish and Maths homework, a walk on which I got soaked and then lunch. Now I'm sitting here on my laptop, Brendan's watching the match and Sean's at the table painting his Games Workshop LOTR models. Nothing exciting, but I feel cosy and content ( Read more... )

My arms and sides are so stiff and sore today - the ice-skating has really taken its toll ( Read more... )

My poor, poor hands - I've got chilblains from the cold, and yesterday they turned bright red and were so stiff and sore it was too painful to move them. Now they're all rough on the back and dry skin. I hate winter!

Went to see the doctor, and she says it's a swollen gland, nothing serious. In fact, it's probably already getting better. She reassured me that if it did get bigger, it would just shell out the back of the eye. I didn't dare ask her exactly what that meant ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I get a half day off school, woohoo! Or not: the stupid, stupid "stye" in my eye (if that's what it really is) has still not gone away and my eye hurts whenever I look at something before turning my head. It's like a lump underneath my eyelid...gross. So tomorrow I'm going to work with my father, because I'm going to the doctor there, but ( Read more... )
