#1- London '09

the bus journey.

well, you know how it goes. "i'm going to london, to buy a heat magazine..." not in my case.

"i went to london and read a heat magazine."

we set off from ullapool. we had about 10cm of space between our legs and the chair in front. imagine being stuck like this for basically a whole day. got that picture in your head? that's us.

so after spending about 19 hours on the bus journey from hell, we pull up at the most dank place imaginable. the hostel. [din din dinnnnn.]

the light in the shower is un-lightable. there is no soap. the floor is dirty. and there are beds at odd angles sticking out all over the place. yes i know. weird.

more later.

School & a Royal Visit!!!!

It is the start of a new school year. So today was the day of panic, stress and nausea. Panic at the thought of new teachers, new classmates and new work. Stress at the thought of having no friends in the class. And nausea, which was what I had throughout the entire day. So, apparently, this year is "the most important school year for results in Scotland." and we can't forget "The most pressure we shall EVER have. EVERRRRRRRRR."
So it was with a headache I struggled through Maths, a flickering light throughout English, boredom and confusion in Classical Studies, A little bit of worry in Geography and an uh-oh feeling in French that I made my way home, feeling sick. Headache update: hopefully going. Soon.

And may tomorrow see a less stressful day.

:)

oh yeah, HRH Princess Anne visited our school yesterday :) So exciting! The musical performed a number, but a faulty cable meant that there were bangs throughout the entire performance. Everyone in the audience was either dying for them, cringing inside or laughing outright. It didn't help that an article appeared in the P & J about it. 'Red-faced youngsters..." that's just mean!
