Well a decent enough day, went to help out a church creche this morning, ended up getting roped in by Andy to help with Trekkers on the Case instead. Twas fun, nothing I really had to think about, providing a welcome relief.
Then sat and talked to Andy after the service, was good, talking about friends and such, it was nice to talk, I've been running low on people to talk to recently. Ended up staying for the next service, mostly because it had started and we were still talking.
Service was ok, I wasn't really that focused on it really, Alfie (Andy's 9 month old) is not the quietest of babies, and that coupled with me already being indisposed to concentrate meant that I wasn't really feeling spiritual.
Got home, lunch, mucked about on my computer, ate christmas pudding, considered going for a run. I still want to go, but it's late. I'l go in the morning, or possibly for a cycle.
I have a sleepover i'm going to tomorrow, I dont really want to go, which is ridiculous, i complain about not having friends, and then when i do get invited somewhere i dont want to go!
Went for a cycle with Ruth yesterday, was cut short when my back tire got a puncture, had to get dad to pick us up from Melbourn. Will go again later in the week.
Have to remember to get dad to sort out my bed tomorrow, stripped it day before yesterday, so it currently has neither blanket nor sheet! I'd do it myself, but i cant manage the blanket, it never lies flat.
Anyway, early start tomorrow, have a paper round and am determined to get fit! fed up of not being!

Fleeting and Fleeing
A moments reflection on the instability of life.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
All that is made lost, to moths or rust.
A piece of paper with the name of a child, its brith certificate, crumples and disintegrates in the rain.
A lifetimes work, painstakingly collected samples of meaning, lost in the swift blaze that leaves naught but memories.
The memories collected over a lifetime, lost as the bearer becomes ruled by their illness.
The slightest fall changing a childs smile to a wail of pain.
The strongest house lost to the stronger storm.
The life that love created ending in dispair.
The death of an old one, with all their loved ones there.
As spring fades to summer flowers bloom and die.
Year passes to year buildings are built and destroyed.
Tress, flowers, buildings, paper, memories, happiness, life, all is fleeting.
All is fleeing away too fast for us to have a hope of catching it.

Well, yesterday was my last day of work experience, it was so sad, i almost cried. They gave me a box of roses(the chocolate) and a card they had made which had pictures of when i did a session with my xylophone for the children! Inside there are pictures of every single one,with their names as well, its brilliant!!!!
I really enjoyed my work experience, it isnt something i'd do as an actual job, but it was fantastic for two weeks!
I got a non-speaking role in the shakespeare, but oh well. acting is full of disappointments.
I seem to be getting busier and busier this half term, i have a sleepover monday to tuesday which i'm really not sure i want to go to, punting and cycling with my friend james who is coming down from colchester. and fitting in a physics project and a textiles objective, oh the joys!
Ok, nothing much esle to write.

.....Walk apon Englands rain-drenched shores.....
Well, I had auditions for Twelfth Night today, at my school, 17 of us turned up, but unfortunately more girls than boys..... hmmmm, should make for fun casting.
Auditions went well, speant the first hour doing warm up exercises, with Mr H. putting the emphasis on physicality rather than on the words, which is good, but without understanding what the words mean the physicality is hard to do. Meh well....
Then we went of for about half an hour and prepared an audition piece from the extracts he had given. I did a piece with Olivia, Feste and Malvolio.
We then had a short break, after which we prepared a second peice.
I read for Maria, which was great fun, I was the only one who put in the flirting with Sir Toby Belch.
The return journey was .... interesting. 5 miles in the pouring rain..... I'm still cold.
I start work experience tomorrow. Homerton Nursery School, I puzzle my Deputy head when he found out, he didn't think it was the sort of thing I'd do. So that was fun, we had a good talk abotu what I might do, i said if i was going to go into teaching I would so it at scoundary level or A level, he asked me whether I had considered a career in teaching.
I'm not sure, not if its anything like what i had to do the first three years of secoundary school in ict.......
But meh, I'm looking forwad to it, little children are a lot less complicated than people my age. I just hope its not raining as badly again, I'm so cold!!!!
There was a time when we expected nothing of our children but obedience, as opposed to the present, when we expect everything of them but obedience.

European Politics....
After having spent an 'enjoyable' evening with my sisters whatching the Eurovision Song contest, one would expect that I would follow it with my views about it.
However I feel that my elder sister's (ruth's) soon to be written post detailing our comments throughout, highly edited I hope! will be posted soon, and i feel that she can do our conversation better justice (and she has the notes!).
I would like to point out a few things though : 1) Israel is not part of Europe..... **looks confused**
2) Why dont they show us the Eurovision Song Contest when they are trying to teach us about European politics......
Finally, i would just like to say, most of the conversations took place when my little sister was out of the room! She can corrupt herself on her own....

Hmm....
Still not convinced that anyone actually reads this but hey! I will carry on posting anyway, i have little else to do.
Well, the 23rd of March brought me to my 15th year on this earth, erm.... my fifteenth year anywhere actually........ And with it an envelope from my local doctors cordially inviting me for a meeting to dicuss my wellbeing and stick a needle in my arm.
And after a month and a bit of procrastinating, forgetting and procrastinating some more I went along to the sugery for the afformentioned meeting.
Met with a very nice practice nurse, who proceeded to ask me questions: had I slept with anyone (no), taken illegal drugs (never had the opportunity :( :P), smoked (no-asthmatic), had alcohol (yes but not in excess, my parents were there!!!), and whether i ate properly(erm, yes, of course.......)
She then proceeded to give me "necessary" injection, now, you must understand, i dont dislike the needle part, I'm so used to it that I dont mind, no, what I hate is after the injection, the annoying ache in my arm that prevents me from playing my xylophone, or raising my arm, or knocking agains anything without wincing in pain.
Then weighed me: I've lost 3.8 (whatever they measure it in) since i was last weighed!
And measured my height: 5'4"
so that about covers it, sorry to anyone that does actually read this, im bored and have nothing else to do, and nothing else has happened to me!
Well apart from my art exam today, which went ok, i didn't finish, which is good because i have a further 5 hours to finish off my piece, and only about 1/2 an hours work to do! I speant most of the last hour decorating the tape which is holding my paper to the bored with pretty patterns in gold pen.
Tonight, im off for tea with my youth leader in about an hour, and then babysitting, should give me a chance to finish my biology, meh, i hate stats, and i have no one to ask if i get stuck.......... The people i would ask are: a)at school only on mobile contact
b)at bible study
c) oo, no dad's around, il ask him!!!
anyway, this is the end of a (slightly) random post.
