Last day in Manchester :(

Today is my last day in Manchester for over a year, sob sob! :( Well I'm sure I'll be back at some point so technically it's not, but it's my last day as a resident of the city! I'm currently sitting in school doing not a lot, cos it's an inset day so we're basically getting paid to do nothing for a day! Well, we did put up a display but that's finished now, and it's looking good! It's pink, purple, silver, green and pink! Very bright and colourful and cool! Had a fantastic night out at 5th ave last night, it's was the best last night ever! Random group of people, great music and generally just a brilliant time! And I got about 2 hours sleep but am unbelievably awake, I seem to have quite a talent for survivng on little amounts of sleep, yay!
In other exciting news, it's only 8 days until my birthday and t in the park, woo!!

Chocolate biscuits

About time I wrote a post I reckon, I've been so busy, just haven't had time to sit down and write. The last two weeks I've been working in a school again (diff school this time) which has been awesome, I feel like a proper teacher now, I've done loads of actual teaching, and even got to give out homework, that was a great feeling! Haha I'm so evil but I love exerting my authority and showing the kids who's boss! But I can't be that evil, cos in one of the lessons Rob and I taught the other day loads of kids were saying it was the best french lesson they'd ever had and asking if we could teach them next year!
Other than school I've just been mostly sleeping and eating, I seem to get in, fall asleep, wake up and eat, then go to bed! I'm pretty tired today though after having about 2 hours sleep last night, although I was surprisingly awake when i had to get up this morning. Last night Alex and I watched the entire 2 series of big train, woo! It is an amazing show, and the many people who haven't heard of it are missing out! But yeah then I had to get up at 7.15 to go to chester for the day with my aunty and uncle. Had a cool day, it's a really nice city and I'm very proud cos I managed not to buy anything despite being very tempted by the sale in hmv! The best thing of the day (hmm think that's really bad grammar but oh well) was that I was given a bag of chocolate and biscuits and crisps and stuff like that, yay! :D
Ooh and it's two weeks until my birthday and t in the park, yay!!!

Morning - but is it?!

Listening to radio breakfast show before you go to bed is very strange and confusing...they keep talking about this afternoon and tonight, but surely it should be tomorrow afternoon cos I haven't slept yet so it can't be the next day!! But it appears that it is...and I really can't be bothered to go to bed, it seems a bit pointless at half 8 in the morning, and it's such a nice day I just want to be outside, but today I will buy suncream cos I really don't want to get any more burnt! Got very sunburnt today, it's starting to hurt now, and is horribly patchy! argh and I'm hungry, despite having eaten breakfast (yep breakfast before bed too) I've now been up for over 24 hours, quite an achievement I reckon, it had been a cracking day (and night) though! Went to blackpool, woo! It was so hot and sunny, we sat on the beach for ages, had a picnic, played cricket and scatch, walked along the sea front and pier, ate ice-cream and fish&chips, and generally just had a typical day at the seaside! Went to pangaea in the evening, also so much fun! And I lasted until 6!! Woo, Marijn and I (I'm trying very hard to speak(and type) correctly, even though it sounds so weird to me!) are the only hardcore people, since everyone else wimped out and went home earlier! (well not everyone in general, just everyone else we were with, unfortunately we didn't have the whole place to ourselves) They all missed out though, we got to see Jack!! And learnt his real name, the mystery is finally over!! Well for us anyway, other people have to guess it...good luck! We also had yummy breakfast at about 6.30am (fried egg sandwich, yum yum!) and now I should probably think about sleeping, otherwise I will never be able to play and watch football later...so goodnight, or good morning, or whatever it is...

Free

Yay I finally finished exams and second year of uni! gosh that's weird, I'm half way through my degree now, scary! But freedom is such a great feeling, I was getting so depressed that everyone else had finished and I was still sitting in working. Today has been a great day, went for a drink after exam then went into town, then went to visit miffy then went to the lowry gallery (somewhere I've been meaning to go the whole time I've been at uni, and finally made it today!) then had a bbq in the evening and sat outside for ages, not worrying about having anything else to do! I did get sunburnt today though :( not badly but my arms are quite red. I have a feeling this is going to turn into a rambling post, but oh well. Tomorrow is blackpool day, yay! so excited, we're gonna play cricket on the beach! but not go swimming!! Paddling but not swimming. then in the evening it is pangaea...and the weekend after that involves lots of football! (playing ans well as watching) before monday morning I have to be up early(ish) to go to school for 3 weeks...yippee I think I should sleep soon cos i have to get up in a few hours time to get the train, ooh and it is a month until my birthday and t in the park, yay! but I don't want to be 20, that's just old, like a whole new decade, weird, hmm well I can still pass for 16 which could be a good thing, or not, I dunno. right now I really am rambling so I will think about sleeping...bonne nuit!
