Come To Kenya - we've got lions

Ok so i'll admit i haven't actually seen any lions yet (but hopefully will when we go on safari at the end of next week!)
bt its all to do with a song from a dofe expedition which i wasn't on(!) and my trip to the forest of dean with team rattling phelgm (nice name huh!!)

i will have to blog about tht trip later - more specifically - when marion has typed up the journal - so tht u can do more laughing and i can do less typing!
also my head is filled with my kenyan adventures!
so yes

the flight to nariobi (i can't spell) was long, uneventful and sleepless (which was a shame as it was an overnight flight...)
i watched lots of films - two of them being
'i think i love my wife' - as boring and predictable as the title suggests
and
'bridge to terebithia' - which will forever bring back memories of mrs adams and was also spectacularly boring

we got delayed at the domestic airport in nairobi so i became very familiar with their plastic seating and slept for an hour or so
then flew in a fairly rickety old plane to Malindi airport
and got picked up my a taxi to drive through to Watamu - where our hotel is.....the drive was half an hour or so along a v.straight and pot-holed road.....it was wierd because it felt surreal due to sleep deprivation - and because it looked exactly like it does on the tv screen (funny that eh!!)

then we arrived at the hotel and i was immediately on a huge guilt trip. this place is 5-star coz the hotel we originally booked is undergoing refurbishment and so the company we booked with is meeting the extra cost :D
this means an AMAZING environment - with a 7km stretch of beach less than a minutes walk away - and the service is fantastic - you get hot towels which are covered in essential oils before each meal - which is one of the nicest things ever! - and people practically falling over themselves to help you out.

this hotel is completely westernised and luxuourious - which is brilliant and wonderful - but when there are people 2minutes walk from you who have nothing it makes it harder to deal with (and so it should methinks!)

i then did the boring thing of unpacking and sleeping and reading - then was afternoon tea (unfortunately no scones!) and finding out our itineary for the rest of the hol.
then more sleeping and eating and sunbathing (tho it gets dark at about half 6 coz we're at the equator - which is kinder scary - since that = winter in britain)
then more sleeping, and, later on, eating.
then bed (with plenty of mosquito repellant and nets protecting me)

Then 2day we ate (any one else seeing a theme??), swam in the pool (sea was a bit choppy due to strong wind - yes i know i'm a wuss!)
sunbathed, read,
ate
and then headed out to the orphanage where we are helping out for the next week and a bit. had a tour round the home and the school which is built in the grounds (their smaller classes total 6o-70 kids to one teacher and their largest is over 100 - this means their smallest class would be like having the entire swps sixth form in one room having the same lesson done by the same teacher -- personally i would love to see Jordan or Powell attempt that one!)
Met a few of the children (and tried and failed to learn names)
Had one v.cute 3/4 year old (who was about the size of a 2-year old) called Samwell (or Samuel - cant work out which one is correct!) cling to me which was very nice (until it got annoying! lol!)
Helped make chippatti's for their evening meal which was rele fun
Then chatted to an australian volunteer who's been there for a couple of weeks found out that she spent six years in art school/uni doing fine art and is also a qualified nurse and has been travelling for the last two and a half years and has no thoughts of settling down anywhere anytime soon - which is cool but i don't think i would ever be the type of person who could do that!!
Then back to the hotel - been thinking lots of deep thoughts about life and all that - but i shan't bore you with my partially formed new ideas - maybe another day

Its pitch black outside (i'm two hours ahead of you guys) andi have to dash coz its taken me quite awhile to type this (this is definitely not one of the easiest keyboards i've ever used......and dinner is in 30mins and need to smarten up - also have ALOT of face-booking still left to do (70 emails - crikey!)

the meals here are so incredibly lovely that the smaller portions diet that i was going to put myself on after eating constantly in wales is gonna have to wait until i get home as i can't possibly not eat this food - lol!

hope its not still raining in England :P
till the nxt time!

i could not stop as you now know

SO
here i am
the end of school has come and gone
and i feel v.mixed
glad i no longer have to go to school
annoyed that i have so much work to do
sad that i will no longer walk into the sixth form centre and see our year frollicking around

the last day ws bittersweet
only nearly cried once
after gates' lesson
and that was because gates was so sweet -- not because of it being the last chemistry lesson ever!! :D
altho our chem class was legendary of course....
at first rec we crashed the staff room
which was funny
the nice teachers (e.g. husselbury, gates etc) throughly enjoyed it!!
apparently we were the first year to do it properly
grin grin

i mist the hokey-cokey in the courtyard
which i was abit annoyed about
but nevr mind

i went to starbucks with tori, katy and stef this was much fun and a bit of a rave
i thought we were gonna wierd out the consumers of starbucks with our outfits
but when we turned up we discovered that half of the year had beaten us to it
they were the v.brightly coloured half and therefore this minimised the effect of our outfits somewhat....

i actually did work in all of my lessons
which was major shockness
but i suppose i do have exams at the end of the day
so it makes sensible sense

i ate sooo much crap it was quite baad
i could feel the fatness creeping
but once i ate some proper food the body sorted itself out
so all was ok again

i was throughly drained when i got home from school
wandered around like a zombie for a while and then slept for a couple of hours before sitting in front of the TV for a while and then getting an early night....

i have not done much work
i have been to a pirates party for the mum of my best friend from primary school
didn't know many people - but was quite fun nonetheless

this week i MUST MUST MUST
do some work
coz i'm playing quite hard as well
so need some balance (of the equlibrium kind....ah the sadness of chemistry)

elena -- i think you can get your mr beaman blogger account back by going to the blogger homepage and clicking on 're-claim your blogger account'
see weather tht works
also,
could u send out a reminder about whats happening on your birthday??
pleasy

ok off to revise


like a good girl! :P

sieben, sieben

Yessir
the Ukraine rocked the Eurovision - and should have won - blats!
Serbia were crap.

the party ws goooood - much eating, not enough drinking, too much dancing, too many rele, rele idiotic photos taken. facebook = cringe.

Soooo many cheesy poufs (or puffs - as the food seemed to suggest)
and yet again i lost the ability to swallow liquids due to a joke being told at just the wrong time......seriously i cannot drink my drink when there are witty people saying witty things as they get sprayed by whatever liquid happens to be in my mouth at the time.

but then if everyone is silent and watches me drink this makes me crack up
so this is definitely a lose-lose situation
the best solution is not to drink anything at all
but become a dehydrated mush of squidge was never my life ambition (and i hope it never will be!)

I HAVE TWO DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT EVER
this is scary
and i am illlllllllll
which is NIGHT GUT
i need to be revising and all i can do is sit and snivel and feel excessively sorry for myself

had last dodd lesson 2day
was pointless
in fact
most of my lessons are being pointless atm
other than psychology
which is suprisingly surprising

now i promised myself i would go to bed early 2nite
2 fight off illness
it is now almost 10 so suppose i better mosey off for the earliest night i have had in months.

i can't think of a particularly decent way to end this blog
so i guess cheerio will have to do!!

Cheerio!
lol

start something

WHY CAN'T LIFE B SIMPLE??
its so messed up
well at least it is in my head!
argh!

I am looking 4ward2 elena's eurovision party 2nite with much over-excited glee
much bailey's ice-cream and estonian beer drinking coming up
not sure hw much truth there is in the 'estonian' part of the beer.....whether this is a myth i have created.....or my guilibility has been taken advantage of - either way - beer will be drunk
and i think this is the main assumption in my argument
(how many marks would every1 hv picked up in the critical thinking exam last yr if there had been an argument for the age of legal drinkage to be decreased??)

ah critical thinking
i would not re-do that if u paid me the entirety of the salary that you will earn for the rest of your life
unlike omar who would pay that exact amount to hear dodd admit he is not gifted in the chemistry-teaching side of things
altho omar is going to be over-worked and under-paid
so tht amount of money may not be as significant as previously thought......

time has been trying to make me believe the most horrible things recently
such as the fact that we only have five days left of school EVER *shudder*
exams are only a couple of weeks away *double shudder*

although marion is here in just under six weeks
this is a very much nicer fact to believe
if you forget about the exams that have to become before that time!

please note that i will not be supporting scooch in the eurovision 2nite
i will support whoever else takes my fancy
and shun the politicness of it all

can't wait to hear terry wogan commentating; he is hiliarious - and a general all round LEGEND
:D
i have my new camera - with which to document all the craazy going-ons that ensue this evening
and if the photos taken while we were all in a large pile of bodies yesters in the common room are anything to go by.....
there should be a few brilliant old shots!

ah can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!

beaver, beaver, beaver, beaver daaam, daaaam

this picture made me laugh far too hard!

i've been doing ALOT of laughing these past few days - mostly due2funniness - partly due to stress - makes me wonder @ wat point does laughing bcome nt so gd 4u??

deep qu there huh!!

a-levels are stressing me out - me no like!

Lose the argument in a cable car, hanging above as the canyon comes between

never a pleasant experience
but i am learning to adapt

I really like The Fray

out for lunch - back in one minute

Last week ws gd and bad in jst equal bursts
psychology last weds ws v.amusing - due to the above joke and ishmael getting the giggles for at least an hour after that!! i kid u not...
ah how i love laughter!

the good was the funny weekend had in sunbury
the bad was monday morning and driving lesson
the good was hot fuzz and nando's on Tues eve with weez and elena :D
the bad was the persistent headache on weds
the good ws coming home early and sleeeping
the bad was missing the chemistry
the good was ishmael being a darling and giving me a lift
the bad ws the video editing software not co-operating in general studies (nt the type u take an exam in...)

can't remember much about last thursday or friday - an am trying to remember weather i'm supposed to have remembered anything that occured on those days
except getting an interview

yes!
Queen Mary's want to see me on Thurs - which is exciting and good and lovely
and all other happy adjectives

the weekend was GOOOOD
saturday was dodgeball tournament - spent all day settingup/playing/tidying up after dodgeball
over a 100 kiddies all in a church throwing balls at each other
brilliant!
and my talk thingy went well aswell (small miracle..!)
we broke even with costs and can give some to charity aswell
yayyay!

then Sunday went on for an age
mother was sick; which wasn't nice on mother's day
no.
lots of work was not done
but looking in my planner
i rele dont have tht much structured work

and i am tired - jodi picccoult's "The Perfect Match" is enthralling and therefore i am reading later than i should
books over tv

in prep

life is good(ish)
I wish exams would hurry up and get themselves out of the way
nt before i'be managed to get myself to stuff knowledge into the brain until it is flowing out of the pen tho....

You could have your pick of pretty things....

I want to live like I know what I'm leaving

Yes indeedy

Got Switchfoot's "Oh, Gravity!" album (their latest) from Hannah as my belated xmas pressie
imported from japan
for some reason - no idea - they're an american band!!
Its bin on repeat all eve
Loveage to the Hannah

and of course to switchfoot for making such amazing tunes....

In this life I'm stubborn to the core
In this life I've been burning after more
We both know what these open arms are for
You're everything that's fair
In this life, you're my only one

ok
other things
i have started using my frees productively (shock, shock - horror, horror)
and my evenings not as productively
which is wierd
but feels ok

really need to buy A2 revision guides....

babysitting for the first time in an age 2moro
looking 4ward2 it

haven't done an awful lot
cept i sat in library prep 2day and observed all the littlies doing life and stressing over miniscule amounts of homework
made me feel old but at the same time a tensy bit mature, hehe

gar
if only i could have a yr 8's or 9's workload for a week
t'would be biig partying week
lol!

erm
yes

Am madly looking 4ward to my birthday - saw the venue 2day - isn't amazing and needs mega clean
but there is potential there
they are one of the only places which would have me
it will b crowded
coz i am obviously soo overly popular
and hannah thinks i am mad for having it in that "shack" down her road
but yea
i don't think it will b all that bad after a clean
altho i wood love 2make it open plan
would b easier
but they're not that lenient

lol

hmmmm this post has included more hannah than is usual :P

she should b proud
bt i don't think she reads it
coz she has better things to do with her time

like watch endless re-runs of scrubs and friends

hehe

this post has been spectactularly pointless
i think this deserves congratulations
ther is a ton of things i should be doing
bt i can't b bothered to remember them
coz i'm so kwl!

wateva

argh!!
i've just looked at the time
where the heck has this evening gone?????????
ahhh

guess i dont have much time as i thought
i shall finish with these v.deep words....


I want to live and die for bigger things
Before I die I want to burn out bright

I need that sweet escape

Ahhhh
Alanis Morisette - Ironic has just come on the radio
brillant song!!

so
here
i am

my head is messed
finished reading "my sisters keepers" by jodi piccoult
makes u think....big life, scary(ish) thoughts
will read more by her

thursday - got an offer from UEA
woo! yea!
(part from the AAA bit..)
but its an offer

failed my driving test - nt2big a deal - more frustrating thn anything else coz it ws a silly lil thing.
next driving test = thurs 29th mar - so will miss lectures again.....

then fri i found that penninsula has rejected me
which isn't too big a deal
just waiting on queen mary's in london
not2hopeful
coz it is quite late on
bt never saying never....

i rele don't like sophie ellis bextors new song - this is a random fact i no bt still - didn't like her b4 don't like her now.

the weekend was much fun
sat woke up relatively early for a weekend - did work
then fished into richmond
and mooched round (mooched = verb = To wander about aimlessly)
and chatted and ate
and coffee shopped

i have been surprised to find that there are less shops in rich than in staines
and i have been reliably informed by weez that richmond is good for nothin bt shoes (which she wood no..)
still a gd place to meet tho
easier thn other places i could mention *coughs* ashford (ah good times!) - can't go thru feltham without smiling....

len-man has been a legend these past few days
with quotes such as "your mum has it"
in response to an anguished cry from bendall of "where's my maths textbook!?"
which made me laugh all the way to psychology
and her randomness 2day while high on sugar and caffiene

"that's no way to treat your husband-in-law-to-be"

*giggles some more*

oh
and my announcement that i want to eat her alive
after a frustrating lunch spent chemistry-ing

good times my fiancee
good times

ho hum
off2proof-read my 20 pages of psycho (to b fair 4 or 5 of the pages don't act hav much on them..but you know)



drive till you lose the road.

and the answer is.....

Has been forever since i last blogged
in the middle of mocks i believe it was

Lots and nothing has happened

i went to woking on sat with merlin, hannah, josh, bb and decaf
bowling
good fun

then watched tiny bit of England being thrashed
and Lost
which was amazingly confusing
and once again i am hooked on the far-fetchedness and freakiness of it all

Monday:
Found out bio grade
Found i failed chem
Had a driving lesson
Went to physio
Fell asleep for an hour when i wasn't supposed to
Went to BSL

Tuesday:
Found out psycho grade and got back first draft of coursework (already an A! woo! yea - go me!)
Went to usual and extra chem lessons
Sat and waited twenty minutes for a non-exisistent hussellbury - and then did nothing with the free which prevailed from having no biology!

Wedsnesday: (why does that spelling look so wrong?)
had my last lesson EVER with Downey
literally an end of an era - SEVEN YEARS!
its not surprising i now border on insanity
but anywys
had coffee and biscuits from her and she passed onto us the various pieces of life knowledge that she felt obliged to, such as:
"you wouldn't get a new car without getting it checked by the AA - so with boyfriends always get the opinion of friends and family....if he's not interested in family then dump him"
"Going to uni is about being selfish"
and
"i watched this programme about 60+ year old bodybuilders - it was disguisting"
"what's a six pack?" (yes we were given the task of explaining a six-pack to downey - someone please cringe with me?!)
"if you had a guy who was that muscly you'd go to hug him and bounce straight back off him again (with apt hand and body movements to provide illustration)

ah trust the Downey to provide entertainment during, what was, a reflective lesson of the goods and bads of the past couple of years

but i'm gonna miss downey-isms a lot
she says we should pop in for a coffee sometime next term if we want to

but i think that might be a step too far!

2moro is Le Driving Test
lil doubts are a'creeping
but they are in the process of being banished

can't wait to get out ther all by myselfy
even tho i will be v.nervous the first time i'm by myself
it is something i will learn to enjoy

must go sleep
i swear if i was allowed to be i would be nocturnal
hmmm
thats a good idea for beginning of gap-year - do shift work - then i would be able to confirm my suspicions that i should have been a badger
or indeed
a normal cat
as they have so much lovely sleep during the day

*yawns*

yep that mattress looks goood

Your Five Factor Personality Profile

Extroversion: You have medium extroversion. You're not the life of the party, but you do show up for the party. Sometimes you are full of energy and open to new social experiences.

What Switchfoot thought of the London gig:

"after a lovely day off, we all headed over to shepherd's bush empire and checked out this historic venue. it seriously is one of the most objectively beautiful venues i've ever seen. ...the crowd was seriously the loudest and most enthusiastic i've ever heard. it was ridiculous, in the best sense of the word."

Set list:
stars
politicians
gone
we are one tonight
on fire
faust, midas, and myself
dirty second hands
this is your life
ammunition
american dream
awakening
learning to breathe
shadow proves the sunshine
oh! gravity
meant to live
only hope
dare you to move
