Londinium

Well! Been here for a week now and i'm really enjoying it.

Monday:

We (Me, Louise and Matt) went to Guildsford to go to Laser Quest, we had an absolutely brilliant day and i really enjoyed it. Me and Matt ended up colliding but between all three of us we made a great team. The second game wasn't as good as people were cheating, Louise became very un-happy about this and told the 'official.

At night we went to a really nice chinese restaurant called 'Yi Ban' it was dim sum and it was brilliant service and even better food! We came up that it was a front for chinese gangs. We expected a gang shoot out in the middle of our dinner. Ha-ha!

Tuesday:

We went to Brighton on Tuesday and met friends of Louise's. There was some really interesting shops and i had a Skittles and Popping Candy milkshake, they work really well together surprisingly! Try it!

Somebody got lost in sea! police and everything got called in and were up and down the beach! There was boats and helicopters flying all around!

Brighton Pier was nice though.

Wednesday:

We went into London which was fun! We went to the country's biggest Primark!!!!!!!! It was heaven! I didn't buy anything though, nothing nice enough. Did get some aftershave and gel though.

We went to a freaky pub for dinner, very freaky!

Thursday:

Thorpe Park.

Well, what do i say? what a brilliant day out it was. I felt so ill after most of the rides but enjoed them so much! I don't think i came off a ride thinking "Lets now go on the next one." It was more "Gime 10 minutes to let my stomach get round that loop and rejoin my bodie and settle before i do anything." I didn,t throw up though! I was really happy about that!

Friday:

We went to see Mamma Mia, what a brilliant film, after seeing an Abba  tribute when i was four that was brilliant! slightly embarrasing as the fact that i knew every word to every song though. 

Tomorrow:

Really don't know think were doing some gardening not sure though should be good though.

Ill

 Well, since sunday i have been really ill and yesterday i ended up going into hospital as the doctor thought that my headaches could be something deadly. So when i went into hospital i was given painkillers and they didn't work so then i had a blood test and nearly fainted as the nurse put the needle in the wrong vein and blood was pouring everywhere. My arm ended up a deep red colour but in the end the managed to take some blood and put a canula is it? in mt arm. Then i went for a brain scan and luckily it cameback fine so im not fataly ill. My blood tests came back and they also came back fine so im home now i came back at about 8 last night. Apparently i just have a bad migrane but i have about 600 pills i have to take everyday to try and calm it down (emphasied its about 13). And they are all different types of painkillers. Im going to pass out if i have all of them, they all say could cause drowzyness aswell :|

I am back home now and i ust have a bad migrane. I doubt it helps sitting at the computer like this but oh well i need the internet. When i was sat on the ward last night it said internet on the free bed tv/phone  but it wouldnt let me on (and it didn't have msn, what sort of a computer doesn't have msn? Disgraceful!). But i have stopped being sick which is a plus side i think.

Thankyou

Thankyou to every one who posted to my last entry i have saved them for future reference.

Well, I have started my english lit. coursework on 'Jane Eyre,'  I have to describe and reveal the charachter of Mr. Brocklehurst (Lowood school headmaster). I have startede the introduction on it and that was fairly easy as we have designed a plan of what to do but it sounds quite hard. I shall keep you updated on that.

I have also started my coursework for English language. I don't no if you heard but a few years ago the bbc ran a competion and they got a writer to write a short story but stop after abit and the person who wrote the best ending to the story got it published. The story is called 'Billy Bone' if you want to look into that. That is fairly easy as i like creative writing and find it easy so that isnt that bad for me.

Anyway i have to go now so i shall speak later,

Bye

School!

School!
               Well its the end of the second week and the beginning of my start of year 10 in high school! They have been fairly interesting, finding all my  new teachers and lessons. (We picked our options this year). 

My form/english teacher and my science teacher are on facebook! I found them the other day on it by just randomly checking for teachers! If you want to see them search C. Fearnside (English) and W. Barry (Science). I think they are both the best teachers as unlike other teachers they have a sense of humour (High School Teachers Louise don't worry you have a good sense of humour). Aswell as the fact im good for them so in a way they're nice for me!

In Science we have been learning how to kill people with sound/electronic waves! Which has been very fun! In English we are reading the story "Jayne Eyre," by Charlotte Bronté! I am doing all of my GCSE's this year including my English literature which i don't know how i am supposed to learn! On top of that i have all my other GCSE's to revise for! (I think this is going to be a very busy year!).

So I guess this is it for now! If anyone has anytips for exam stres relief please post back thanks alot!

Re - Holiday

Well, it's now Tuesday. Last time i wrote in lj it was Saturday and i have done alot of things since then.

On Sunday me and Matt went to the Imperial War Museum. We saw the exibitions on the war (obvioulsy, Imperial WAR Museum). We looked at the first, second, childs and aftermath of the wars. It was all good and we went into the trench and blitz expirience. The Blitz was the better out of the two as the trench experience was just a little walk while you listen to noises and voices. It wasn't anything like the real trenches as there was no water at your feet, you couldn't see your friend rotting at the side of you as he had been shot days earlier and there was no rats running around your feet eating your toes. The Blitz was longer in time than the trench expirience aswell. First you sat in a small room and it explained the blitz and you could hear what people would be talking about if they were in the bunkers. Then you moved into a dark room and bits light up to show you facts and a short story of London being bomed. Later after that me and Matt met up with Louise and Madaleine to have a picnic. After we did this we took a short walk down the southbank and we all ended up very wet as there is a new peice of art work outside the RHF. It is a giant fountain rising uo from the floor, it is to show the topic of rooms, the walls of the fountain rise and fall at intervalls so people may run in and through the rooms.

On Monday me and Matt went to watch Transformers at Peckham multiplex. As the day before we learned how guns were a bad thing and gow they kill people we now went to watch a film showing robots smashng each other up and shooting eachother. The film was absoleutly birlliant! Well worth going to watch even if your not under 20 as Matt enjoyed it so im sure most adults will to. After we went watching the film we came home and I met Louises friend Kathrine wha was very nice. At about 4 ish lots of Louise and Matts friends came round and we all played boardgames and ate pizza up until about 9 at night.

On Tuesday me And Louise visited the national history museum which was very good. We saw the exhibitons on slavery, money, Egypt, Greece and Rome. Its a very big and nice building to walk around, we had our lunch there. After the nhm we walked up to Oxford street to wonder in the shops, neither of us bought anything but ti was a nice walk. After Oxford  street we walked up to China town as I have never been, it was very, erm, authentic and pleasant. Then we wenr to Woolly Gulli for a sushi tea, we met matt there and after some horrendous tastes we came home and went to bed.

holiday

Well since thursday i have been visiting my aunt Louise in London, I travelled down via first class train which was very comfortable. There was free coffee so therfore i took advantage and had 3 coffees, 3 cokes and a sandwhich all of which was absoleutly free. When i arraived at Euston station we went for a chinese ( me, Louise and Matt) and for the first time ever i tried squid. It was nicer than i thought it would be, it tasted like chewy chicken, It was fried whcich obviously makes it nicer.

Yesterday was the second day i was down and me and Louise deceided to go to Greenwich, we visited the best milkshake shop in the world. It took a Yorkie bar and turned it into a milkshake. After we had our milkshake we went to the observatory and to the naval college. Then went up to Louises work which is Greenwhich college ( shes a lecturer ) and cleared her office as she has a new job in oxford university.

Today me Louise and Matt have been to southend to the beach and we went to the mini themepark. Me and Louise went for a walk into the sea but we didnt get far as the sand is mainly mud with stones in so when we decided to stop and turn around our feet were very painful and very dirty.
