1 down, 11 to go!! Had german listening today, it was ok I guess, not great though, I really hate listening! Some bits I could do ok, others I totally made up! But oh well, should really start revising grammar now!
All this nice sunny weather is going to make me super fit, yesterday I played football and walked back from uni, today I walked into uni and back, tomorrow I'm playing squash...woo!

Football
Woo, we girls rocked at football today!! Had a boys vs girls match that ended up being mixed cos the guys did have a slightly unfair advantage...they still won though :( but it's the taking part that counts (right Helen?!) and we got a fair few goals (I scored 1!!) I hurt my ankle :( and in true football player style I'm going to complain about it as much as possible! And anyway, I'm allowed!! Might even undo another button later...since it's not sunday!
I should really be working, since I have so much to do, and my first exam tomorrow, but instead I am sitting in front of the tv watching a thrilling snooker game and drinking beer! (how much of a guy am I today?!) I will listen to german tomorrow...
ooh and other news, I ate curry the other day!! proper curry, for the first time ever, it was great! Thanks Marijn!
oh and this is the last post for a while since Alex apparently won't speak to me cos he can just read about what I've done on here :(

Easter
Haven't written anything for a while since my spell of writing loads...but I've been pretty busy over the hols! So here is an update-
The first week of the holidays I was in school again, doing the second week of my teaching placement. It was really fun and a bit more relaxed than last time cos it was the last weelk of term. One afternoon I got to watch wallace&gromit with the kids for their end of term treat! Can't believe I got paid to watch a film! A lot of the lessons were just making easter cards and doing wordsearches so that was pretty easy! I did get to take part of a lesson again though, another presentation, that was cool. My highlight of the week was probably when a couple of girls said they couldn't believe I was only 19 and thought I was a lot older! Makes a change from people thinking I'm about 16! The only slightly negative thing was they thought I was 30 something!! Oh well...
After my tiring week of work I finally made it to Leeds to spend the weekend with Emily! Had a really cool time, we went to the cinema to see ice age 2, watched back to the future and lots of coupling, and went shopping and tried on lots of random clothes! I then had a long and tiring 6 hour journey back home!!! Crazy!
Last week I spent most of my time baking cakes! And earning money for baking cakes, woo!
This week Helen, Inge and Marijn came to stay for a couple of days, had a great time!! I showed them round a few places and felt like a bit of a tourist myself! On tuesday we had a pretty busy day, we went to 3 different places, ate fish&chips and ice-cream, went for a walk up a big hill and back down the other side, played on a little kids park, played pool...can't remember what else but I'm sure there was more! Oh and we took loads and loads of photos!
That's pretty much been my holiday, well the highlights anyway. Tomorrow I have a wedding to go to then back to Manc on sunday! with a big presentation to finish for monday, woo!

5 past 3 sunday morning
Actually managed to make a decision to go out tonight! Had a cool night out in 5th ave, lots of classic songs and good memories from last year! And when we got back me and Alex (ok I know that should be Alex and I but I don't speak proper!) planned our wedding! We're gonna have a huge huge cake which is big enough for us to stand on, and have a meringue igloo on too! And maybe penguins...real ones...and we're not singing shine Jesus shine!!! And part of the vows is gonna be the big mountain song 'ooh baby I love your way'! It contains classic lines such as:
Moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help of some fireflies
I wonder how they have the power shine shine shine
I can see them under the pines
But don't hesitate 'cause your love won't wait hey
Ooh baby I love your way every day
Wanna tell you I love your way every day
Wanna be with you night and day uh yeah
Argh my jumper is so falling apart...I look like such a scrubber! (that's not part of it, that's just a random comment from me!)
On the subject of bad lyrics we've just been reminiscing about bad cheesy pop, such classics as Daphne and Celeste! I so wanna shoot them! How stupid are these lyrics?! kinda funny though!
Hi! This is my friend Daphne and I'm Celeste
[Chorus]
" Ooh stick you
Your mama too
And your daddy…
Ooh stick you
Your mama too
And your daddy…
Ooh stick you
Your mama too
And your daddy…
Ooh stick you
Ooh stick you! "
Your mama, your daddy
Your greasy, greasy grandmammy
You got a hole in your panty
Got a big behind like Frankenstein
Going beep-beep-beep down Sesame Street
Toot-toot-toot wear army boots
In your ear with a can of beer
Up your butt with a coconut
OOOHHHH!
" Ooh stick you..." [Repeat Chorus]
You go girl!
EEEEEEEEHHHHHHH!
OOOOOHHHHHHHH!
EYE!
Do you want me to tell you what I really think about you?
You got facial hair like a polar bear
You blow up like a toad and then explode
Your face looks mean like Halloween
You got big red eyes like cherry pies
You got the IQ of a digeridoo
You look insane and got no brain
You got a big fat belly like a bowl full of jelly
Your fat mum Milly looks like Free Willy
" Ooh stick you..." [Repeat Chorus]
You go girl!
Ride 'em cowboy!
Yee-ha!
Giddy up horsey!
Ride 'em cowboy!
Pew! Pew! Pew!
It’s like a horror movie isn't it?
OOHH!
Ride 'em cowboy!
Ooh Ooh Eee!
Ride 'em cowboy!
Do you wanna know what
I really think about you?
You're a little kid that looks like a squid- oh no!
You've got a bad perm like a can of worms- oh no!
Cheeks like a balloon ; face like a baboon- oh no!
Everybody knows you eat the nails from your toes & you rub 'em in dirt and eat them for dessert!
Whatever!
" Ooh stick you..." [Repeat Chorus]
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
eye!!!!!!!!!
You got ears on your face like spock in space!
You got teeth in your head like Mr Ed!
Everybody knows you put fleas in cheese, mix them with glue and use it like shampoo!
What?
Ping-pong why am I saying ping-pong?
Ping-pong Ping-pong Ping-pong!
Whatever whatever whatever!
" Ooh stick you..." [Repeat Chorus to fade]
Wow this is turning into a long post...
We're also planning to record a house CD, woo! It will include things such as Dan singing Hero by Enrique Inglesias with me playing guitar, Dan singing Stay another day by east 17, Thanh Mai singing Blackbird by Paul McCartney...
I haven't decided what I'm gonna do yet...but everyone has to do a song! It will be so cool!! Woo!

Dutch!
After finally dragging myself out of bed I decided my next activity of the day will be to learn some more dutch! I met some dutch people last night and realised it wasn't very impressive that all I could say to them (in dutch, obviously I could say a lot more in english...) was "all the ducks are swimming in the water", "I see the horse" and "you have a nice arse"!
So far I have learnt the numbers 1-10, and now I'm onto saying things about myself:
Mijn naam is Marie
Ik ben negentien jaar oud
Ik heb een zus en een broer
Time to go and talk to Sarah!

Spelling
Trying desperately to find things to distract and amuse myself with today, I have resorted to further analysing the look and read programme I was watching the other day! One of the rules they were teaching wsa how to form the plural of nouns ending in 0 - potatoes for example (ie you add an e before the s) There are however a few exceptions to this rule, piano, studio and video. I began to wonder why these are exceptions, had an idea that it could be something to do with the etymotology of the words, so I searched and found out all these words come from latin or italian (which is from latin anyway) so maybe it does have something to do with that...although I don't know what! However I could be being (can I say that?!) way too technical and geeky, cos I also noticed that these words all have two vowels at the end so maybe it's just simply to do with not wanting too many vowels together! Other exceptions to the rule such as kangeroo and zoo fit better with that theory!
Hmm...I think it's time I got out of bed and had a shower and stop being such a geek! Argh that sentence sounds really ungrammatical but I can't work out why...different tenses I guess but I don't know how to change it to make it right!
