Coventry

I'm in Coventry at the moment. At my grandparents' house. Hence the name of the post. I feel a bit kinda cu-off actually. From my friends. Bit sad. I'm in one of those moods again. I sense that some people get kinda annoyed with me in these moods, and for that I apologise. I don't mean to do this, I don't like it. I think I'm just insecure... The kind of guy who needs constant reassurance. Wow, what a catch I must be. Very attractive to the opposite sex. Everyone loves clingy guys who they have to reassure, right?

Yeah... since my last post I've had German, French and Music exams. French went badly, the other two went really well. I think I'm mainly looking at As... Maybe not in French though, meaning I can kiss Cambridge goodbye, or retake it and reapply the next year... Fun. Anyway I still have C4 and FP1 in the next few weeks...

Erm on Friday I went to a concert in Felsted, I really enjoyed that. It meant I missed Jono's party, but I didn't think too much about it so I didn't feel like I was really missing out. I did miss out though, and I'm sorry I missed it, but I'm very glad I went to the concert.

Josh had a mini-party on Sunday night. That was fun, most people didn't seem to get too drunk, which was good. Again, I'm sorry for my problem with alcohol, I can't help my feelings and I would really rather be normal and able to just accept it, but I can't... Yeah, I'm a freak, but that's me... So yeah, that was fun.

And now I'm in Coventry. And driving's going pretty well, too.

Anyway, that'll be it from me. Feel free to comment.

Guess who's back...

Right. I wrote a few paragraphs and then I got the blue screen of death so I lost what I'd written... Ah well.

So I haven't posted since 21st March. Since then... CCF Easter Camp. That was pretty good, but very wet and stuff. VERY wet. And I felt sick on the second night. And I kinda realised why I really can't join the army (not that I was considering it) - I can't handle bad weather. I mean, I can, but I wouldn't wanna spend my life living like that. I like beds too much for one thing. But I think the Year 9s in the CCF like me, which is nice lol.

I came back from Easter Camp to find out that I had become a prefect and was in the top 10, so I got an interview for the role of School Captain (Head Boy, for non-headmaster people). Yay.

Then... UKLF cadet leadership course, which I was really scared about. That went really well in the end. My section was really nice, and so was the i/c, although he was a nutcase and swore more than I've ever heard anyone else swear in my life. But as I said, very nice. So yeah I met some really great people. And I realised that the good parts of army life would be really really fun! Especially if the weather were good (which it was, all week). So yeah, I really enjoyed my week.

Then there was the D of E practice. That was fun!!! A lot of the people in my team were people whom I didn't really know beforehand, or not very well. But afterwards we had lots of private jokes and sayings and banter and it was just a fun time. We ate loads of basil.

Then term time. I became Head Boy, with Sam Booth and Tom Woodward as deputies. Josh Trott, Duncan Bucknell, Matt Wilks and Ted Harding became House Captains. Ooh look at that formatting... I went to France with loads of Year 7s at the end of April, which was annoying and tiring, but fun in its own special way.

Then. Art exam. I worked right up until the deadline. The exam went well, and I was so relieved when it was over. French oral. That went well too, I was pleased with that. Art deadline, that went OK as well. I was in the art block ALL THE TIME finishing stuff off and mounting stuff (make a sexual joke out of those, I dare you...). German oral, that went very well too. Spontaneity went downhill a bit, but not too much. Overall it was good.

Today... I got up at 10, went for a run, had a shower, had breakfast, did loads of maths, went to see my brother play a rounders match, did music revision. It was good. I feel physically better than I have done in a long time. And tonight I've been speaking to someone special on MSN, who decides to ramble on for an hour while I have dinner... I told them to, so it wasn't completely random, but it was very nice. Although sometimes a bit crazy. But who doesn't love craziness?! Exactly.
