Exeat!!

It's been far too long. School has been up to my neck lately and I haven't got much time to do anything, but now I'm home resting for the weekend as it's exeat. I say resting, but in truth I'm preparing a talk and handout for "Marxist Contribution to the Economy", a presentation which I am giving on Monday with an 'oh so wonderful' girl in my year. She actually is literally the perfect person- a friendly, pretty genius!!!! But I can't see how I'm going to get things done in time. Everything is a little too stressful at the moment!!!
Oh but between my last post and now, so many things have happened - both good and bad, of course...

Number 1 bad thing--- up till now, at this certain hour, after agonising hours and DAYS of waiting expectantly, the US Congress is still lulling it's FAT self slowly towards passing the bail-out rubbish. It's 700 billion dollars, just pass the stupid bill and save the global economy from collapsing....although to be honest THAT would be very interesting!!!

Number 2 bad thing---er...i can't think of anything else at the moment

Number 3 (er...not bad) thing---i think i'm fairly done with the first part of the ucas process

Number 4---i had the greatest day ever on my birthday- but i still fail to come to terms with the fact that i am now officially OLD

Number 5----i am a winner of fyp!! go me!

Number 6---i was commended in trinity college cambridge philosophy prize *hiss* i should've got first prize

Number 7---my school has this preparing for interview classes, in which i was forced to give a speech on why i wanted to study ppe, and ...y'know, it wasn't THAT bad.....

Number 8---i have had an absolutely AMAZING weekend so far, and i've got my lovely friends to thank for it

Number 9---my politics teacher is now in love with me, despite telling me off earlier this term---- but my english teacher is a bit upset with me because in the same class he handed us back our essays, in which i got the highest score of 29/30, i wasn't paying attention and i slept off. When he woke me up by asking a question, i simply said i wasn't sure- because i wasn't, i actually wasn't sure!! I mean, i was still half asleep for goodness sake! So anyway he believes I possess a well of knowledge (which i do) which i am too selfish to share with the rest of the class (which i am) and thus pretend to be stupid in class but then have the most amazing essays (er...why would anyone want to look stupid?)

Number 10- i do not, and probably will never, like Richard Dawkins...forgive me, dear God, for this feeling of hatred....but it is all out of love for you

Number 11- i now love economics, and everything econowise, so much that I now read THE ECONOMIST *gasp* so I am developing a passion for the last part of the course i am applying for, which i hadn't really loved so much before. in fact, my economics teacher told me last class that I was on FIRE! Go me!!!!

Number 12--i am generally pleased with life, although scared out of my wits that i won't get an interview, or i won't prepare enough for the TSA PPE test, or I won't get into oxford.....AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! It's a horrible thought, but then again SHIT HAPPENS. And even if I don't get in, I will get where I want to in life...because Francesca said so. Francesca, by the way, is only the most amazing friend ever. I do love her really.

Well, i should get back to work now....so the 'oh so perfect' girl won't have me messing up her presentation. I'm going back to school tomorrow :( and I might not post again for a while :( :( :(

Ah, the wonders of a new school year!

I regret my hesitation now about school....indeed these first few day have been wonderful!!!
It was lovely to see all my friends again, it was exciting to discuss results *wink wink* ...well, apart from my economics UMS which I (still in shame) haven't told anyone, it's been great making new friends with the new lower sixths in my boarding house, it's been amazing to hear 'some certain persons' actually speak to me- regardless of the fact that they got more or less no reply :P
We've got a new housemistress in my boarding house- and she's absolutely awed by my beautiful hair *grin with pride* All my housemistresses still love me, and my personal statement wasn't completely ripped apart by my tutor, lol.
Plus, my room neighbour is absolutely amazing, she lets me play my music as loud as ever even though she only usually listens to what i'd consider as boring and worthless....she's even beginning to hum my songs :) I have also braided the hairs of about a million people in only 3 day (including hers)
Classes have been amazing so far....in English we made a poster of Mr. Ramsay from Virginia Woolf's "To the Lighthouse" We literally drew him "narrow as the blade of a knife".....well actually we drew a really long man holding a knife in his hand, which I coloured red for that majestic effect of blood- making him a serial killer :D Was amazing!
Apart from the fact that it has been constantly raining, things are actually looking good....but I'm home for the weekend because---- IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!
And all I can think of is the fact that I am growing old :(

GASP....It's September!!!

This should have been posted yesterday...but...

IT'S SEPTEMBER!!!

September the month of new things...new schools, new seasons, new friends, new shizzlemagubbys...... but best of all....................

IT IS THE MONTH THAT THE EARTH WAS BLESSED WITH THE BABY ME!!

Ah, how joyous.

I shouldn't be in such a good mood, because I've just returned from the most horrible outing ever- but ah, it's September, so that will be a story for another day.
