I got there in the end!

I'm feeling slightly more confident about my exams. Which is a dangerous thing to say! Exam numero uno is tomorrow - music harmony. Basically I sit for 3 hours at a computer, with a soprano line and I have to harmonise it with the alto, tenor and bass parts and follow a-gazzilion rules in order to do that. I actually kind of enjoy doing it, it makes me feel good afterwards, knowing that I solved the 'puzzle'! I wish that it was a really nasty exam that was gonna be out the way, not the only one I 'want' to do! But its good coz it means I have more time (like a month) to prepare for all the other exams - all my other music, my English language and Biology (!!!!!!) exams.

The house is doing good...on Thursday night and for several days I think I will have no bedroom, as a wall in being knocked down - it will be rebuilt eventually - but its to give me more room in my bedroom, I'm nicking some of my sisters room space in order to have breathing space in my room! Still as granny-ish as when we moved in, but I'm getting used to it!

I'm SO looking forward to the summer. June 27th....getting-very-drunk-at-pub night! Or should I say, end of exams. And then I'll have the search in the thousands of boxes that contain all my worldly goods for those school books which they've very kindly given me this last 2 years, but I have to give back and cant officially leave school until I do so. Thats'll be a pain in the arse if ever I've come across one! And I'm excited about going to Prague. I've always wanted to see more of Europe. And I'll get to see 'that' church...the Church of Bones. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, type "church bones+prague" into google images and you'll see. Quite fantastic. Apparantly its holy land of some description, and everyone wanted to be buried there. In the end there were too many people so they started just piling up the bodies, which decayed, and they were left with thousands of bones. Quite fantastic and a bit sick of someones imagination to see what they did with them! But anyway the holiday will be good.

This whole time I've been typing, its to waste time to see if I can remember what I was actually going to post about. But I have no idea still.

But while I'm sat here, I'll give you some puzzles to do:

Which is the odd one out?

A mire

A minister

A cove

A vent

A verse

Dr. Watson and Sherlock holmes are in a cab on their way to investigate another mystery when Holmes turns to Watson, who is about to doze off, and asks him this simple question: Which three consecutive letters of the alphabet can be placed in front of the four letters TARY in alphabetical order to spell a simple English word?

By what name is Anton Fepuni the well-known writer better known?

Anyway, I still don't have a clue what I was gonna type so I'll be off. I'll give the answers at some point! If I remember...if I don't, that's too bad really!

Ha I've just remembered. I'll just put it very briefly. You know how if someone says they understand physics, they quite clearly don't? Well I think its the same with God. I was talking to someone last week who said that they thought they knew everything about God and completely understood Him. That made me quite sad...for starters, this person didn't know the basics about Christianity because they rarely read the Bible etc. but they still thought they knew it all. Hmmmm.... And it made me think 'I wouldn't want to know all about God. If I did know, there'd be no reason for me to keep going with this Christianity and trying to live each day for God. Where would the awesome mystery of God be?'

I now live at...

Well I'm not actually gonna say on t'internet where I live. But for the record, its not at the same place as where I last posted from. yes, we finally moved house. It's big, it's granny-ish and it's covered in boxes. Sounds appealing, I know. Apparently we have a lot of stuff! It took about 8 hours of solid carrying boxes to get us moved. Ridiculous. It's granny-ish because we bought the house off an old lady who has gone into a rest home, so it has classic granny carpets and wallpaper. So it needs a lo-o-ot of work doing to it. Oh goody! But I do like it. And it's conveniently situated about 100 yards from: a pub (obviously top of the list), a chip/pizza/kebab shop, a newsagent, a chinese takeaway, a police station and of course (the reason we moved here), my church! So see from that info if you can work out where I live. I'm sure someone somewhere is sad eno...I mean clever enough to be able to figure it out from the given information. Granted you only know the country that I'm in!

Anyway - general life. Dan is doing good. Has had to get settled in fast due to us moving house 2 days after he came home. Work is good, tiring to stand for hours but I know how to do everything now and its all pretty simple and straightforward! School is finished in 3 weeks (half term in the middle so I only have 2 more weeks at school) and then I'm on study leave, and then in 6 weeks time it'll all be over - oh the beauty of it! And then my glorious months of summer holidays begin, starting with my friends wedding (no prom for me :-( ), then Prague for a week, then who knows what! Maybe a bit of travelling around the country. Whatever I do, it'll be good. I'll make sure of it. Oh yeah and I got my dates for Colombia - 21st October till 10th April (in time for my Church holiday which is 13th-17th April). So I'll be there just short of 6 months. But I might be going to America first to visit a tres good friend o' mine! Which will make it very nearly 6 months that I'll be gone.

The penalty shootout between Man U and Arsenal is on the tv so I'm off!

I don't have long to write, as I have a really solid synoptic essay on 'photosynthesis and its effect on the ecyosystem' due in tomorrow. But it's been a fab day - Daniel came home! My family is complete again :-D It's awesome seeing him again, even though its been less than 3 months since I did last see him. I cant imagine how my family or his girlfriend or any of our friends are feeling, who haven't seen him for 7 months. Crazy! He arrived this morning at 10:45, and we said all our hellos at the airport (then got told off byMr. Grumpy Policeman for being too noisy, as we were leaving...ooops!!! Lol) and then went to Church for half an hour where there were more people waiting to see his pretty little face and give him a big kiss n cuddle, and then we came back home for lunch along with Gran and Jenny, his girlfriend. It was a lovely lunch, fairly crowded but fun and tasty :-) So tonight about 20 people are crashing on our small house that is even smaller due to all the boxes in it, and we're having Chinese food. Unlucky for the takeaway! but he's been pining Chinese food since he left - not a lot of it in South Africa! At least not in Durban. So hat'll be a right laugh. Gotta go now, homework is calling. Bye!!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D

Things that annoy Suzanne...and then the mood changes slightly as she gets mushy, and then starts laughing at people.

I've discovered recently that there are several things which really do my head in. They are (in no particular order):

1. The cigarette packets being backwards in the shop on their stand.

2. Sitting on the backwards seats on the metro.

3. When the bedsheet sort of scrumples up under me on my bed.

4. The fact that I live in one of the coldest places in Britain, thanks to the North Sea 'breeze' (more like a flipping gale most of the time!)

5. Not sitting on the end of the row during windband.

6. The fact that half of my friends, be them in this country or elsewhere, have finished school and have none of this exam pressure!

7. When people sign things annonomously (is that how its even spelled?)

8. The fact that all these things annoy me.

9. MY SISTERS TASTE IN MUSIC!!!! Crappy pop stuff. Give me Led Zepellin any day!

10. The fact that it isn't spelled 'Led Zepellin' but infact is spelled 'Led Zeppelin' and I can never remember that.

11. The fact that I'm sure there is another thing that does me 'ead in and I cant remember it!

12. When I want a guiness and have to do revision instead. (Could this be the main one?)

It's quite sad really that things so pathetic like that really wind me up. AAAUUUGGGHHHH!!!!! There we go, some stress is relieved.

It's a shame I'm moving house next week. One thing I love about my house at the minute is that the computer is in the conservatory. And at night we get some fantastic views of some gorgeous skies. To my right there is an awful lot of sky showing and its a gorgeous mixture of dusty pink with purple streaky clouds going into a faint yellow then a faint blue. And out the other window I can just see above the houses a gorgeous blue sky, the silhouette of the tree brances in my back garden and a bright thumbnail moon through the branches. Its gorgeous. "The dust beneath his feet" is how those faint pink clouds were described in a book. Thats fab. God has been walking around and left a dusty pink trail.

However, through these gorgeous clouds there are the left over trails of aeroplane. Makes me laugh at the thought that so many people have been sat up there in discomfort for at least 1 hour. And makes me glad that its my friends and not me who will be sat on those planes for many hours over the next few days. I can think of atleast 4 people who will be sat in that discomfort between now and Monday. It brings a smile to my face :-) Dont worry, I've been there loads of times as well and will be facing it during the summer and in October when I go to Colombia, so you can all laugh at me then. Enjoy! Love you all, even if you do get to go nice places :-p

"I'm happy with my figure" she stated. Shame we'll all know.

Last week Sarah Cockings, who used to go to my school, won £3million on the lottery. So what is she doing with her money? She's, obviously, putting it to the great use of buying her two sisters, Alex (who used to be in my class) and Emma boob jobs. How sweet is she!! So yesterday, all over the Sun newspaper (the word "classy" springs to mind...) there was her huge picture in the centre wearing a tres revealing dress, with photos of herself, Alex and Emma looking all tarted up and smiling 'beautifully' during their photo shoot in London. With the headline somewhere along the lines of "I'm paying for my sisters boobs to be as big as mine." Its a shame that anyone who sees either of them now will go "Hahaha shes fake!" Why would you want to publically announce that sort of thing? And lets face it, the Sun is very public! You almost didn't need the page 3 girls with her picture. Not that I'm a regular reader of the Sun, but there was a copy floating around the common room at school as everyone knows who Alex is. It provided us with so much entertainment. So thankyou Sarah, Alex and Emma for being so proud of the figure God gave you, and wanting to waste all your money on plastic boobs. At least Sarah is happy with her figure. And how nice of her to be so willing to shell out £5000 for her sisters...she obviously has a lot of respect for them. I wonder what she'll do with the rest of the money? If you're sensible sunshine, buy a house. Or buy a caterpillar....thats about as useful.

The one that could have been...

Life can be full of 'what ifs' cant it. My latest 'what if' is "what if love actually happened like it does in the movies." Man, its just so simple there. They never have to work at love. They just meet and fall in love. They can spend about 2 days with each other and 'know' that they have met the person they want to spend forever with. If that was the case there would be a lot more serial polygamists about. Over the years I've met guys who I've fell 'truly madly deeply' in love with, and then woke up to myself and realised that I was being ridiculous and that I was actually 'truly madly deeply' in love with someone else. Sound familiar? I've just finished watching a film with such a story. Its called 'Chasing Liberty' and would be a really naff film with the same old cheesy storyline (girl meets boy, girl falls in love with boy, boy eventually (after a few more hours of his life) falls in love with girl, boy turns out to be an arse, girl gets angry and runs off, boy turns out to be nice so girl is kicking herself, boy and girl meet again, boy and girl kiss and after that line ('lets get out of here', 'i might shoot you if you dont kiss me', you know the type!) they spend a blissful eternity (as they lead us to believe because we don't know anything else that happens in the story) kissing) if it weren't for the quite sexy Brit who has such a great sense of humour he really brings down the cheese factor. But they just met and fell in love. So simple. So what if it really happened like that? Would be kind of boring I think. Everything would be guaranteed.

Why do I keep finding rivers in the wrong places?

Someone went swimming at school today. For those of you who have been lucky enough to go to or have attended a school which is rich enough to afford a swimming pool, this might not be quite so strange. However, when its break time at 11:10am and that someone is swimming in what once could be described as a path connecting one building to the next because someone offered him £2.50 (he could have at least done it for a tenner-what a pillock!) it could be seen be slightly abnomal. Yes, it rained today. I mean properly rained! Actually, it was hailing at one point. Yes it is May. We get some crackin weather up here like! (Slightly Geordie-esque that was. I'm back to normal now.) Anyway, it was absolutey bucketing it, slightly monsoon-ish for a few minutes, and then turned into a normal English downpour for quite a while. But you wouldn't think that the school would have 8 inches of water over the path, or that it would be coming into the school from the roof so that half of the main hall was blocked off because it was covered in water. Or that the building site on school would actually look like a lake! Or that the road leading into the school was flooded. Or that the path leading from the road into the school had a river running down it. Man I go to a good school. Thankfully all of my lessons this morning meant that I could stay in A-block, which thankfully consists of the cantene and common room as well so I didn't have to leave my dry haven until after lunch when it had stopped raining. Actually the sun was shining again and the swimming pool had dissapeared. What a shame I didn't have to wade through all that to get to music! And its raining again now. I think I may go to school with slightly more waterproof feet tomorrow.
