Royal Jubilee

I'm feeling really patriotic this weekend as we all celebrate 60 years of our Queen.

Well we have bunting around all of the windows, flags in the door and face paint. And best of all we are watching the Royal Jubilee Concert, watching some of our best singers and comedians commemorate her years.

Long live the Queen :D

Goodbye Scrapbooks

My friend came up with this really cool idea that I think needs sharing.

It is the end of our compulsary education soon, and although I am part of a very close group of seven friends, we will all be going our seperate ways. One of my friends said we should all get plain books, decorate them and the take lots of photos to fill them up with, and all write a comment for eachother.

We also all said it would be cool if we all made eachother something small that we can stick in the books, so the artists will draw pictures and i will sit for three days trying to work out what i can make everyone.

I will make sure to put up the finished product as i love to share my friends talents :)

Pen pal

Recently I got a new pen pal from France, and I think it’s really cool that I can learn about another culture and communicate with someone who is very different from me, and also get the chance to help her to learn the English language.

So yeah I don’t know what the point of this is, accept that we have lost touch with some of the traditional things we have done in the past. In England, the villages are twinned with villages in France, and in the past schools would exchange student, so you would go to stay with a French family, and a French child would come to stay with your family. So yeah we should keep in touch with people from around the world in more traditional ways.

Exams

Uhhhh these past few weeks i have been revising so much i have hardly been on the Internet at all, so I'm sorry i haven't blogged but i figured i would fill you in.

I have taken my music exam which I'm pretty sure i haven't done amazing on, i mean what is an Irish lament, and what does that have to do with a Scottish Gaelic song, i don't know?

I have also taken my R.E (religious education) exam and i think i have done okay on that.

I have only taken those two so far but that does still leave 11 to revise for, although I'm gonna try to make sure i have a bit of time to do the things i enjoy, like my blog.

The Avengers Assemble

This film is AMAZING! If given the chance to watch it GO!

For those of you who don't know what the film is about, a very basic plot would be that six superheros, Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye, come together and put aside their differences to help save the planet Earth.

Superhero lovers, like my friends who i went with, will adore this film and all of the little references it makes to original movies the hero's have starred in. Even if you haven't seen the original movies, the film has a great easy to follow plot, great action, and a few moments of really funny humour.

So yes i would defiantly recommend this film to anyone and everyone, its just one of those films.

Sorry Guys

Well this is my failure because due to exam pressure i haven't been on a computer for the past like 4 days which means i have missed the beginning of my answer a question everyday in May, so I'm going to delay it until after my exams because although i thought it would be easy to just log onto a computer and quickly answer a question, Ive found its not. So sorry for that and i will let you know when i move it to.

Jimmy Carr

Well I had a great time last night as I went to see the great comedian Jimmy Carr. We started with a late check in to the hotel,  which wasn't to good but then we went to dinner and i had an amazing salmon steak, followed by chocolate brownie.

I'm not gonna talk about the jokes he told in the show, as some of them really aren't appropriate, although one running joke that was funny is that everyone either confuses him with Alan Carr, or thinks he is related to him, and anyone who tried to comment on that got ripped to shreds.After the show he waited for like an hour signing things and talking to people, a sign of someone who hasn't let fame get to their head.

Me and my parents went clubbing once the show was finished, and lets just say we got back to the hotel at 3 in the morning. This means we didn't get up until 10 in the morning and after a very long traffic jam finally got home so i can get some sleep.
