It can only mean 1 thing - I'm on Vacation!!!

I suppose I deserve that slap on the wrist :-) But it's only been a month and a half.

I got out of school on Wednesday and I have been meaning to blog but I thought I didn't have anything to blog about. Then last night, I wrote in my diary and was recalling the last few days.

Tuesday: I had Business Studies for my last two lessons, and as it was our last EVER lessons of that term, Mr. M decided we could have a cake day (we bring in huge amounts of sugar in forms of cakes, chocolate etc.), 'cause he's cool. So, that night I made some brownies. They are legendary, if I may say so, but only a few know it's actually from a convenient Costco mix. I just say they taste exceptionally good because they are made with luuuuuuuve. After my dreadfully exciting french lesson, I rushed over to Business Studies with my bag of brownies. I realized then that I still had my huge (and I mean HUGE) orange that I forgot to eat at lunch. I started rolling it around and in the end I got it confiscated, oh I am such a rebel!! Then my entire class went hyper. It was rather funny.

Wednesday: The last, pointless 3 hours of school (9am - 12). We had an 'Easter Quiz' and my team was utterly rubbish. It came second to last in the ENTIRE SCHOOL and there were at least 20 or 30 teams! One of the questions was 'What disney film does the song 'Zippity doo dah' come from?' I'm sorry, but who knows stuff like that? If you do, it's probably because you are much more intelligent than all of the students at my school. Anyway... Then we had this huge, long, boring, have-to-clap-a-lot assembly and went home.

After, I went to a friends house and had beans on toast for lunch. Then my friend's Gran practically forced me to play something on the piano. I didn't know anything to play, so she pulled out a book and I failed miserably trying to sight-read 'Memory.' When I was done she said 'You did very well' then got up and played some insanely difficult piece of music...

Thursday: Thursday was a nothing day, a day necessary to start off the holidays. Basically, you wake up at 11am, go downstairs and watch TV. An hour or so later, you attempt to make some sort of breakfast then watch more TV. It was simply wonderful. But I couldn't do it for more than a day. I would be afraid of my brain frying; not that being on the computer for hours would have the same effect or anything...

Friday: This was sort of do-something-productive-then-watch-some-TV day. Then my Mom came home had a sudden urge to go to Cheshire Oaks (a place with shops, restaurants, bowling alley and a cinema). We spent about 10 minutes deciding what to watch. Us kids got tickets to see 'Meet the Spartans' - a spoof of 300. Then we walked over to Borders, which takes about 5 minutes, and it was FREEZING. My Mom practically lives in Borders. We spent about 30 minutes there, as a result, I now have three new books I would like. After, we went to eat at Chiquitos, and overpriced, snooty mexican place. The kid's meals have twice as much food for half the price. I warned my Mom that last time we went, we left angry, but I didn't mind too much because I really like Mexican food. So we order our food and Mom gets a side of onion rings for about 2.50 (pounds - there doesn't seem to be a pound sign on this keyboard). The side consisted of a grand total of: 5 onion rings!

Next, we walked back to Borders. I think all together we did about 6 lengths of that walk between the restaurants & cinema to Borders. The movie was good, except I was kind of put off by the fact that the main character - a Spartan (big, tough, fearless men) was the gay guy off of 'The Class.' My parents movie lasted an hour and a half longer than hours, so we went to Frankie and Benny's and spent an hour there ordering and eating dessert. A-M and I ending up annoying the (I just went on thesaurus.com to find another word for 'crap,' would 'meadow muffin' be inappropriate?') heck out of Katherine.


And today, well it's Easter Sunday. Basically it's been church, chocolate, cake, waffles, blog. Time for dinner!

It seems I have missed out Saturday. Oh well, must not have been very interesting.

That would be, What is Song of the South for $500 Earthgirl!

I'll have you know, meadow muffin made me laugh out loud. You're hilarious.

Sounds like an enjoyable week, particularly the confiscated orange, the sugar overload at school and the family outing to Cheshire Oaks.
