Happy!

Hi ^___^
I have a lot to say today hehe.
First, I'm making this post on my new phone Galaxy S 3! My mother got it for me after my other phone broke and it would cost a fortune to repair. I love this phone. It's big and can do a lot of stuff. Thank you mama!
Also I went to Alton Towers yesterday with school. It was really fun, but some rides like Air and Rita weren't working properly.
Today I went to a sixth form induction to the school that I will likely be going to. I made some friends, and it seems like a good school. They are also going to be doing Korean as an enrichment programme....YES
Lastly, your home girl has got a job. Yes, this summer I will be working as a mentor for Year 6s who are moving into Year 7. I am so grateful to God <3

China Town

 My second post in one day, I'm on a roll here. Well yesterday and today I was chilling with my mates Jason and Antoinnet, and we spent most of our time in Chinatown. The shops there were so nice and cute, but once again I had no money. Here are some pictures of us taking pictures in a photobooth with Jason's phone:




Today we went to Big Wok and filled our tummies with yummy Asian food! It was so nice, and it was also really funny. A cute waiter got real mad at this girl who left the place without finishing her large cup of Orange Juice..what a waste! Then Antoinnet decided to take some food home...*kmt* we almost got caught. We then spent the rest of the day just walking around in Birmingham, and we got some free Cake. And this random man called me 'Miss Dimples because I live my life so simple'. It was weird, but quite funny xD

My Adventure Weekend

Last weekend I went with 18 people from my school to PGL Boreatton Park as a reward trip (for High Achievers xD). The three days we spent there were absolutely great.


DAY ONE: I had to sleep with four other girls in a lodge, and they were the best roommates ever. 





We started our time there by playing dodgeball with a really dodgyball. Then we played rounders on the really slippy grass! Afterwards we chilled in the chill out room and our lodges in our pyjamas.




When it was time for us to sleep (11pm) the boys who were near our lodges kept talking and gossiping so we didn't get to sleep till like 2am!

DAY TWO: We had to wake up early for a very long day. We did fencing (which was alright) and then high ropes...well I didn't actually do it because I got so scared. Having a fear of heights sucks (yet I enjoy being on planes!) In the afternoon the whole gang went to play Catch the Flag with our team-leader Sion, but after a while everyone gave up because everyone was cheating and the woods got boring. Then when a few of us with Sion and Mr Fallon decided to play Frisbee. Mr Fallon then decided to pull me across the really wet grass which made me soaking wet! We went on the zip-wiring which was really fun! But after going on twice, my body ached so I didn't go again. We also did rock-climbing, which I didn't do because I suck at it and...yeah I just suck at it. In the evening we had a disco where we all danced and just chilled. I won two of the dancing games (shocking, I know) and we ended the evening with our deputy-head of year giving us an emotional speech. Even though my roomies wanted to have an all-nighter, I ended up falling asleep. 










DAY THREE: I was so sad that it was our last day at PGL. There was this really nice Spanish girl who always smiled and waved at me :) Anyway, we spent our last day firstly doing Archery. Even though I wasn't really good at it, I really liked it. I might see if there are any archery classes or stuff nearby. We then did abseiling (Well me and Mrs Atwood watched the others do it). To top the trip up, we all went canoeing. Seriously, thinking about canoeing makes me embarrassed. First of all, we was behind everyone so Tyler (the instructor) had to babysit us. Then when we caught up with everyone, all hell broke loose and we all fell in the water (to be more specific 4 TIMES). The lads had to come and rescue us, and we crashed into a bush of nettles (ouch) after my space in the canoe was flooding. It was so funny!
During dinner, this Spanish boy (who was cute, but then at the same time wasn't) was winking at me and my ginger friend Lauren, and was following her around. It was so weird..but me gusta!!!

The three days were so good. There were so many cute instructors and nice people and the activities were good and I just had so much fun. I wish I was still there, I might go there again one day.
