News.....
heya.... long time no talk (lots of stuff been on i.e. DT courswork then a load of guests - I did start a Valentines Day update but someone closed the window :(, so for then....
Happy Valentines Day
lol... I have had so much sleep last night... well like 11 hours... which (after four sleepovers in a row) is quite impressive! Meh... not entirely solid, I kept waking up but didn't want to be drawn into the arguments so refused to advertise the fact and fell back to sleep again.
We had a very interesting cells meeting. On our futures. The thing is, there is enough to think about in the present without spending you're time on the future. I know things that at the moment I would like to do, such as study science or teach piano/oboe/organ. But I know that these are subject to change and I really could end up doing anything in any subject - except PE. Because these are by no means constant there is no point fixing out the details until closer to the time. What a waste of time to completely plan a career and then discover that I end up teaching in a backend comprehensive somewhere in Essex! (completely random! :S )
There are also things that I wish just generally... like to live a productive life, to be able find happiness in something even when everything else sucks, to always have someone who i trust and trusts me in return. But these are so general and can really be achieved wherever you end up in life if you put the effort and energy into your life that it deserves. If you make the effort to see the best, to be there for people, to smile at the little things... then anyone can achieve these.
The things that most concern me for the future are probably not my plans, but what I want for those I love and the people around me. For instance, happiness and confidense. The ability to give as well as take. Faith in themselves. Then there are some people who have just *got* to have children :P And others just need to be prayed for that they find a secure job so they can spend some time on themselves as well.
But even so... what is the point in planning (or worrying) for the long-term future... You dont have a clue what it will be... all you know is that God will provide. And if you know that then there isn't a point worrying anyway. Just take the time to live, live for God and do what you van without obsessing over whether it is good enough, adequate, useful or right.
Sometimes people make bad choices... sometimes we all make bad choices... the amazing thing is that we can still work from these bad choices and make them good and useful. And if we worry about tomorrow... then we are bound to muck up today and not be able to change it round, and that would be a waste.
lol.... that's a random collection of thoughts... anyway... i need to go get up - lazy morning!

Long boring and complicated..... :P
Long time no writy..... lol and much has happened - so I shall copy Anne's way of organising layout.
Vagina Monologues: Brilliant... a little crude in places but very very rarely distastfully - yeah I know that sounds like a contradiction but it fitted the story... and it was the tale of one woman and would have suffered a lot to have missed bits out. The stories ranged from a victim of a bosnian rape camp... to a 72 year old woman who was put of relationships of any kind at the age of about 16 because her boyfriend was rude to her... stories of women discovering confidense in themselves and their sexuality, to an all female sex worker... to the wonder of a birth. Parts were a little sick, others horrific, others touching and sad and others simply funny. The overall message seemed to be, "It's your body there is no reason on earth to be ashamed of any part of it." As a piece of drama it was no always design in the best way, and in other places it was slightly obvious that the author was trying to make it a theatrical piece... but it conveyed its message clearly and in an amusing, emotive and memorable way and to be honest, what more can you ask of any performance. I would recomend it to almost everyone I know (you can never recomend one thing for everyone... life's just like that!)
Rennaisance Music: also very good... although I was slightly disappointed with the Tallis 40 part motet they condesed to 16 parts: 1. it only had 16 parts! and 2. they were all tired and 3. they only had one really good top soprano and that made it a little weak. However, some of their other stuff was amazing.... a range of many part motets .... the 11 part one was amazing - 2, 4 part choirs, 2 cantors (baritone) and a 4 part falcetto choir with a top top C which the sop sang beautifully (and amazingly) in tune and with good tone. There was also a beautiful version of the Sanctus sung as a round started by a verger walking around ringing a bell - more a "show" piece but still exquisite. (The pizza before hand was also funny.... we should go out as a music group more often!!! sort of "you had to be there" all evening but for example it *was* (caugh) louis' Birthday, Tom was almost sick because of his ice cream factory (literally overflowing) and the diabetic finished up everyone elses food!)
Lunch with Mum: Went to the small place next to Holy Trinity - very nice :D (and cheap) and the food was luuvely!
Funny thing: Guess who turned up to Greek on Tue.... Michael! (ex boyfriend for those of you not aquainted with my non-existant lovelife!) lolol. didn't really recognise him so I can now boast of having a conversation that went vaguelly like this:
Jasmine: "I think I did a music course with one of the people over there" (ie. new people)
Ruth: "I think I Kissed one of the people over there!"
Jasmine: "you win"
Greek: As you can see I am still doing Greek..... lol, realised day before that it did not, in fact, overlap with orcherstra so it's still on ... Organ has however moved again. lol. Nice having Sarah there, look forward to talking to her more, if her brother ever shuts up.
Atlantic College: funfunfunfun... lots of fun emails to write to admissions officers, principles and bursars! yey! Seriously the information I'm getting so far is really good. For those of you who don't know Atlantic College is one of the 10 World Colleges, IB qualification located in Wales... which I am considering going to. :D That, Hills or Leys... prefer IB though... ah well, see what information comes up.
Statistics Coursework: I now have my stats coursework! OCR! and Edexcel for the Maths exam - whats the point in that, two maths courses and they choose to use different exam boards! Anyway I have that for 2 weeks... silly thing is we have to writre it all on exam paper blah blah blah but we can trake the data home or download it, and then do it all home and simply copy it up in the lesson - How random! - - - - - Dont get me wrong I'm really not complaining.
Becca's Baptism: Becca's Baptism on Sunday, I would love to go, but I've missed so much choir - Mum not Angela having the major problem, but I have missed quite a few rehearsals and it's not really fair, then again it is her baptism... I really don't know....
As you can see, I sort of wrote this over a set of days...... lol, it's been sitting on the tool bar for ages, but hey twas fun. DAY OFF TOMORROW (and PSE yesterday) SO A THREE DAY WEEK!!!!!
Guess what I'm doing...............
.................
.................
WORK!
lol, hope you're all well
