My Not So Interesting Life

We got our first Xmas card today...

It’s official.
Christmas is here.

Also, it's official - someone's a bit too quick off the mark. It's not even the end of bloody November yet.

Part of me is thinking YAY CHRISTMAS! YIPPEE!
Part of me is slightly shocked that Christmas is little more than four weeks away...

The shops are playing Christmas songs. The display in thecentre:mk has arrived, every year more and more commercial – it’s not about the rides, the fake snow and the primitive animatronics any more – it’s about how much money you can make out of it. I don’t know if I’ve just suddenly realised that only because I’ve grown up significantly since the last time I rode a train in Middleton Hall. Honest.. Meh.

Christmas brings along some of my favourite things. Okay bar the obvious. Yes my pretties, I’m talking about THAT Coca-Cola advert. *tear* And of course, it brings some of my least favourite things. Yes. The turkeys. Hmm, I wonder why “turkeys” isn’t spelt “turkies”? Unless it is and I’m being really retarded. It’s not is it?!
*shudder*
Turkeys… ngleh

Man, I’m slightly looking forward to start my christmas cards this year – only very slightly. Obviously not as much as the person above but it's just I’ve got so many designs in my head and I’m interested in seeing how my creations turn out this year. Again apologies to those of you who got the Tippex ones last year. I didn’t know that the slightest brush against the card would result in an unsightly stain due to the Tippex not drying on the fabric. (haha) and also, those of you who get the prototypes tested on you – look out!

Anyway to end with, I have the reasons WHY we are going to fail Economics this year.
Lol, I love my class, I really do. But….. we’re going to fail! Lolol how I love my oh so positive outlook.

Context: We’d just done some practice exam question. Badly. Very badly.
Mr S: “No one drew the diagram for a Monopoly!”
Class: “There’s a diagram for it?!”
Mr S: “Girls you didn’t include any diagrams. Points for diagrams. ANY diagrams! *draws haphazard line on the board* Like this! ANYTHING!”
Zoe: “That’s a made up diagram though!”
Mr S: “..”
Zoe: “Oh.... no.. it’s not?”
Mr S: “Okay, let’s go through all the other diagrams
Zoe: “…Yeah let’s see what ELSE we don’t know”

Mr S: “You all MUST bring a ruler to the exam. You can’t just use your pashminas all the time!”
Class:
“Why would you use a pashmina?”
“You’d get it dirty”
“And it wouldn’t really be a very straight line....”
"...Who's even wearing a pashmina?!"

But of course Mr S has his moments too.
"Right, what about Tom Hughes.. no Ted Hughes.. Tom Hanks?.. Ted Banks? TOM CRUISE! THE FOOTBALLER! See I HAVE street cred!"


PS Ambray has just kindly informed me. I have to participate in this Sportsathon thing tomoro at school. I have LEARNED from the mistake of Tuesday 22nd March no doubt.
