And with only two days to go until Kestrels once again begins, we find emma......
........sitting doing nothing!
Yes that right, i still have not packed, or cooked, or any of the usual things a true Kestrel leaves until the last minute, despite having had the last 3 days off school and having the time to do such things!
I have bee reliably informed that most of my friends are in high stages of hyperness waiting for this momentous event, myself, i find rather less so. Odd you may ask? Indeed, but I find that hyperness takes up energy needlessly, when it could be put to much better use doing...... something or other.
Well, between now and KEstrels i have so much to look forward to! erm...... there's parents evening tonight, where i get assured that i must have speant hours on my work, and that i really do go above and beyond what is necessary. I wish someone would tell me before hand what I do, so I could at least try and do it!
......There's cooking tomorrow with ruth.... wait, thats for Kestrels too, erm.... there mut be something else, oo, I might just get a birthday present from someone, or at least, I might get a card from susannah!
See... plenty of things.
Anyway, school beckons, only two days left!
And i leave you with this quote that has nothing whatsoever to do with my post, enjoy!
It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.
H.L. Mencken (1880-1956)

And I'm back
Realising I haven't updated in a while and remembering the reason I began this blog, I thought I should endevor to post again.
I have had a mediocre week, I've been getting quite stressed and for some reason consequently my history and english has begun to suffer (my two best subjects), my head of year, knowing my reasons for stress said she would talk to my english teacher and my history teacher. I asked her yesterday what she had said and she said she had spoken to my english teacher but not yet had a chance to talk to my history one. Which actually made me quite happy, due to the fact that he's been really nice and understanding about the fact that I'm not working much at the moment, and telling me not to worry about stuff (he doesn't know what stuff by the way), but he was doing this without my head of year talking to him. Which made me feel slightly better.
Oo, talking about history, I aught to try and do the homework he set...
Saturday was good, me and michael went to see Hot Fuzz, it is an awesome film, so funny, not really for people who are squeamish, but i enjoyed it so......
I also got new shoes which make me taller by several inches, which is brilliant!!!! I'm not ecessively short, but I wouldnt mind being taller.
I am currently re-reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, an excellent book, a vampire story, with a lot mor reference to Vlad Tepes, (the Tepes has a lot of funny accent thingt that i cannot be bothered to work out how to add so...) and his history, rather than just the Dracula myth. It is a very good book, hence the fact that I am re-reading it, and i would recommend it to anyone about me age or above.
Anyway, church beckons

To update....
Having not posted for a while, i decided it was time to update.
I have had a relatively busy weekend, and going out on Friday night completely threw my internal clock. I don't usually go out on Fridays, so when i do, it feels like Saturday, Saturday feels like Sunday, making me completely confused. Oh well.
Friday night was great, I went to a christian concert thing, but it was more like an extended worship session, because there was a talk as well. The speaker was great, although at some points she really touched a nerve, but still brilliant.
The songs were good, but the worship was slightly too (not sure if this is the right word but...) evangelical, for what I'm used too, it was a bit like the church i used to go to, but having not been there in almost a year, I'm not used to it anymore.
But i still enjoyed it so... plus i actually got invited somewhere which was like yay! There were some people there from my old church, and one from the one i go to now, and Megan(one who goes to my church) said she was going to invite me, but she forgot.
Funny how often they forget isn't it.
Anyway, i must go, mostly because i am running out of things to say so...

Plays and such....
Well, i am now extrememly tired after getting back from London last night at around half 12, then having pancakes!
My drama teacher organised a trip to see Coram Boy at the National Theatre. It was great! In some places extremely hard hitting, and in others brilliantly funny. Anyone who is remotely interested in theatre should see this play, i loved it.
Anyway i wont say anymore or else i will end up spoil the plot!
I got my history coursework assignment A marks yesterday, i got A* (24/25) after which i asked my teacher what i could do to get the last mark (on future essays), and he said probably one of the worst things he could have said being: "Yes, when i sat down to mark yours i thought before i started that you would get full marks."
meaning that instead of managing to convince myself that i had done as well as i could, i now feel like i have failed entirely, plus, i messed up on something really silly!
Anyway, enough ranting, and i must get ready for school

Hello and Welcome
Heya,
So... This would be my introduction to my blog. I used to have a blog on another host, but i never wrote on it. So I finally decided that I would begin again. I used to write a lot and at the momment cannot write anything, therefore, I thought writing a blog, just about day to day stuff, might prompt me to begin writing again! So here goes................
I am writing this in between writing a physics essay on nuclear medicine, it was due in today, but I "forgot" my book, and am handing it in tomorrow. Oh the joys of GCSE's, this isn't even a piece of coursework! Anyway, I am going into as much medical jargon as possible, partly to annoy my teacher and partly because it's just more fun that way!
It has come to that time of year again, where all of us who know what I am talking about start counting down the days to Kestrels. For those who do not know what this is, it is a Christian sailing holiday, which takes place during the Easter break, on the Norfolk Broads. It is an event which i spend around 6 months of the year looking forward to, the other 6 months being taken up with looking forward to Kestrels Reunion! I have such a fulfilling life!
Anyway, it is 6 weeks till Kestrels (40 days) which shows just how sad I really am! But, between now and then, i do get to look forward to seeing one or both of my closest friends. I can only see one on the only weekend it is possible to see either, oh well!
Anyway, physics beckons, I shall leave you all with a quote in keeping with the season:
