Physics, Biology, Chemistry, History, Maths, R.S and so on....
The Easter holiday before exams has played host to a school trip to Greece, revision.... *groans* and, this coming Thursday, a Silver Duke of Edinburgh Practice Expedition.
3 days of possible blood sweat and tears...remind me, why did I put my name down for this? However, judging by the desirable weather we have been having, it should be a leisurely stroll through rural Norfolk. That being said, if last years Bronze was any indication, those rucksack straps can be a killer. Especially with 3 days worth of food, a sleeping bag, tent equipment and other necessary items should one wish to survive in the wilderness without money and a mobile phone with half a battery full (not that that's useful; the signal is pretty much non-existent in ol' Norfolkshire).
After 3 days and 2 nights of physical torment...meh, I will have the pleasure of spending Easter with my Dad, Brother and my vast extended family. 13 people for a roast lunch on Easter Sunday...plus a compulsory church visit *shudders*. Christianity...being forced upon an atheist such as myself... Granted my cousins father in law (also coming to the lunch) is a reformed nightclub bouncer turned preacher but they say grace at the dinner table...
I am not saying that is wrong, it is nice some people thank 'Sky God' for food and stuff, however, them doing it at lunch means that Dad will make me respect that and I just....just...*sighs*
Bah! Tom! You are being ridiculous...however, I will supposedly perform this little charade all the while thinking of the promise of chocolate Easter eggs and my favourite family games: Charades, Pictionary and Sh**head!
My cousin Caroline, a teacher in a school for incurably criminal children (jokes!) is the mastermind behind these games. Wielding her razor sharp tongue and iron fist, she controls her family as we disintegrate into giggling wrecks around the dining room table.
One shred of exciting news, my beloved feline friend 'Missy' has had 4 beautiful kittens (Thing 1, Thing 2, Thing 3 and Thing 4! Jokes!). They are all grey like their mother and are 3 days old! They have yet to open their eyes and I am going to turn them into model cats (as in quintessential not statuesque!).
Well, I think it is fair to say I could have committed more time to revision. I have many past papers...audio files for German, Old Man and the Sea to read (again! *groans*)...and...well...more past papers!
On that note...I must say farewell. Wish me luck and I will be writing another post, this time next week!!!!
