Tubaloooo!

Sometimes, you start the day with expectations that it is going to suck.


And, on rare occasions, the day will rock and prove you wrong.


This was one of those days.


I swear, listen to music as you're getting dressed, makes the world a better place.


Was hilarious on the bus to school this morning! We were all talking about Corrie's explosive episode last night. And how bad it was.


Don't get me wrong, we all loved it, but the scenes were just so overdramatic!


It was the tram that came over the bridge that made us all cringe. Pretty bad graphics, I said that it looks like a slinky flipping over.


Also, when Molly ran into the shop, haha, was like the starting point for a marathon!


Shouldn't laugh, her character dies. But still, LOL!


Let's crack on with it then?

P.S.E

Ahhh maaaaaaaaan. Where to begin...

We were meant to be doing Y.P.I again, but my groups problem?

It's like, the 6th week in and we still haven't even phoned our charity.

So, Mrs Anderson isn't best pleased with us.

She asks us if we've made any progress, Greg tells her no and she tells us to go to the Science Lecture theatre and "Think about whether or not [we] are going to participate"

Eeek.

So we sat in the science lecture theatre. We're such a bad "team", we were sitting at entirely different parts of the room!!

Haha, it was alright though, other people in our class wafted in and out to see what we were thinking about. So we were very vocal about out opinions. At least I was:

1. This is not a VOLUNTARY program. We are forced into doing this initiative, whether we want to or not.
2. More charities, and therefore, more causes, would benefit from 5th year pupils creating one large group and FUND-RAISING for the charities, not just making up a stupid presentation.
3. Most of our year is doing our charity, Befriend a child. So 4/5 groups would be wasting their time
4. There is NO way we can win this, as it is not just dependant on your presentation, but also your team work skills. And we have zero.

Why does she have such faith in us anyways? 

She looks at us and sees heroes. She sees supermen and superwoman, masked crusaders, she does not see the Clark Kent's or the anti-heroes. She does not see the villain that we see when we look in the mirror. Let her keep her perceptions I say...

She came through and elected me as "spokesperson" for the group.

Faaaaaantastic.

0/5 of those points I brought up were discussed. What's worse? She used the term "Extremely disappointed". EVEN worse?

Lauren was wanting to speak to her, so she turns up behind her, opens her mouth, realises that we are getting into trouble, flaps her mouth in confusion for a little bit and then starts smiling. 

So I almost burst out laughing, when Mrs Anderson was being DEADLY serious.

Gaaaaaaaaah.

HIGHER BIOLOGY

We were learning about the reproductive system.

Yaaaaaaay! Everyone's favourite, embarrassing topic!

When you are sitting next to Abie, this topic will ALWAYS be fun. She's so giggly, I have a feeling I'm gonna be in fits a HELL of a lot of the time.

We had to fill in this sheet on the "Male reproductive system".

Which, is very difficult! But Mrs Duncan assured us it's easy...

Compared to the Female reproductive system that is.

Well, our class decided to make it easier to understand.

MILTON: Anyone know what the peanut's called?

MRS DUNCAN: Peanut? *laughs*

ABIE: Oooh, what about the wee tube? Or the... Semny-fur-us tubaloo?

ME: Cute! D'yah mean the Semin... tubule?

Well, do what you wanna do right?

Then trying to define the scrotum? Ahhh....

MILTON: Isn't it just to keep the testes in? Like a stylish man bag?

And then we got onto trying to answer the questions... So it went a little like this.

MRS DUNCAN: What is the first one then?

ABIE: Penis.

Everything is quiet.

ABIE: Penis.

Still, nothing.

ABIE: Penis.

MRS DUNCAN: So....

ABIE: Is it Penis?

MRS DUNCAN: Yes.

Haha, take your time toots! It was after that though, that was crazy.

STEWART: Urethra!

KELBIE: Scrotum!

ABIE: Penis!

ME: Testes!

Sounded like a class full of tourettes.


Love how our Head teacher walked in at that point too. Haha, love our class.

ART

Now I loved this period of art (even though Kelly was still skiving...)


Was sent onto the computer to find out how to make roses out of fimo for my perfume bottle stopper.


After a double period, this is the end result

So proud!!


And we found a HUGE stash of Fimo in the art department, some even had glitter in them!


This is a HUGE deal for us, we thought the department was broke. Let us have it ;)


People were trying on Liam's mask, so cool, got huge flames coming out of it and everything.


And Greg was still failing at photoshop. Haha...

GREG: How do you make it bigger?

KRISTINA: Make WHAT bigger, there's nothing there... 

Lunch was basically just organising Christmas days out. No biggy.

So it's either Jimmy Cheungs or Prezzo and then the cinema for the amigo day out and the day after that, Bowling, dodgems and a pizza. 


Perfect. Can't wait till that now!


Halle was telling me how awesome the paninis were... Totally made me want to go up and buy one. I'm a sucker for word of mouth advertising.

MATHS

We had Mrs Young, she is SOOOOOO cute! She really is adorable!


She's such an innocent little thing, but know how to have a laugh and she's had a hip replacement. N'yawwww.


She couldn't even reach the top of the board because of her height <3


BUT, everyone was taking advantage of her and just not paying attention and having a chat.

Me included, but I listened to her when she teaching, yahknow, Respect.


THEN got to eat some of Calum's skittles. Herooooo!

Was hilarious though, for half of the period, all you hear is sucking noises, you turn around and all you see is Calum and Sophie sucking up skittles from the table without touching them. Hahaaaaa, little nutcases! <3


Sophie spilt about half of her anti-septic hand cream over her trousers, so she wasn't too chuffed about that.


I was telling them about my disturbing experiences in Florida with the dolphins. I was only eight, and was REALLY little so I had tiny arms, so I was leaning over to try and clap a dolphin, you know, because it was about a metre away from me. I was within 5cm of it and y'know what it did?

It laughed at me and swam away.

Damn dolphin.

Calum was expressing his love for Shamu. Who doesn't love Shamu?


Just a really good period of maths tbh, I love Sophie, Calum and Dougal, they make maths bearable!


Everything seemed to happen AFTER school.

Lewis was 10cm away from getting run over.


Not even joking, he saw a bus (And I'm sorry toots, but it had PASSED the bus stop by the time you started running for it! There was no way you were going to catch it) and he starts running for it.


What does he do? Step right in front of a moving car and then carries on running, trying to his balance.


NUT!!!


So, after a nice chat with Andrew, we decided to head back to the school bus stop, and Lewis made me run for that too (Was laughing so much I thought I was going to swallow my Soother) and y'know what?

We could have walked CRAWLED there and still caught the bus.


We had some foreign bus driver, he was so picky, made sure that your bus pass was in date, even used his door as a barricade so people that didn't get approval didn't get passed.


School was let out half an hour early so we could get home before traffic starts getting bad, and what happens?

He says he CAN'T leave until twenty past three.

FML!


Not only that, Kyle had to direct him cause he didn't know where he was going!


People on the upper deck were getting a bit crazy (crazier more appropriate?) and started chucking bottles, sweets and wrappers down the stairs.

Then this liquid came crashing down, like it was poured, and splashed about a lot... then it STUNK of pee...


We think someone peed on the bus... like, whap it oot, peed on the bus.


Ewwww...

Know what Laura says?

LAURA: Smells like... gravy?

ABIE: Remind me not to come to YOUR house for Christmas Dinner then!

Ahhhhh Pisto. 

Just had a brilliant day to be honest, how was your day?

Lauren out xxx 

Annnnnnnnd the light vanishes, to be replaced with darkness...

Metaphorical title?

Literal title?


If you said both, congratulations. You're correct.


I don't know if you read yesterday's post, if you did, You'll know that I was in an insanely great mood...


And if you didn't read it, now you know.


Anyways, the happy mood was short lived.


Woke up today, saw how dark the world was, how void of warmth the world was, felt in dire need of a cuddle.


Snuggie does not suffice in times like these....


So metaphorical darkness is depression...


Literal darkness is my light, just went clean out. Blogging in darkness.


Boo-yah. All is alright, light is back on and I'm chilling with an IRN BRU bottle. I love you Barr.


Ch'yeaaaah... walked to the bus stop this morning, it was FREEZING. 


Linzie missed the bus. Tsk tsk.


I apologized in advance for my bad mood.


Nothing really happened before 1st period, the day had not yet begun, not really, the sun had a lie in today.

P.S.E

Started the Y.P.I thing today... Or, for those not in the know, the Youth Philanthropy initiative. 

Basically, Sir Ian Wood's family is offering £3,000 to be given to a group of 5th year students to donate to their chosen charity, but it has to be local.

Listen, I am all up for giving to charity. I love charities, but this isn't a voluntary project, no, we're are required to do it, and in 5th year?

No offence, but us 5th year's have a lot on our plate. Some have to balance 5 highers at school, a part-time job and a social life.

Adding this unnecessary burden to our plates isn't helping anyone...

I mean, ONE group will take away £3,000, a local charity could do a lot with that amount of money.

But what about the other thirty teams? What about the other thirty charities?

They receive nothing, they have wasted time and effort to achieve nothing.

That's quite sad really... I'm all up for choosing charities and fundraising for them... or splitting up the £3,000 and giving it to worthy causes!

But this... ahhh....

I'm in a group with Claire, Greg and Jamie.

It's funny, but we do no work... hahaaa... oh god I feel sorry for our charity...

Jamie is quite well known for being an incredibly laid back guy in our class.

If you catch my drift.

GREG: Oh it's okay... Jamie has been researching charities for the whole holidays, haven't you?

 Oh how we laughed.

JAMIE: You know it.

GREG: Go name a charity then.

JAMIE: Oxford.

GREG: Oxford?

JAMIE: Yes.

GREG: Don't you mean Oxfam?

JAMIE: No... no... the whole of Oxford...

ME: Yeah. I heard that their really struggling to cope this year.

The rest of the period was spent talking about our cookie crisp preference: Dry or served with milk?


I'm a dry cookie girl myself. 


Poor Stephanie. Still can't tie her tie.


Mrs Anderson decided to help her. Poor Stephanie (again).


In front of the whole class, Mrs Anderson tied her tie for her, with everybody watching.


Poor Stephanie (again again).


The room was actually Baltic too so that didn't help. 

HUMAN BIOLOGY

Had Ms Duncan today.

It's weird, we have Dr Robertson for 3 periods and Ms Duncan for 2.

Ms Duncan is a good teacher though, so no complaints.

Was learning something about... Uhhh... ATP and ADP...

Anyways.... sat next to Abie today, that kid is such a laugh!

So glad we have Biology together, hardly have had a chance to speak to her properly after Primary seven.

We were all just reminising to days gone by...

Like the Time Jenny came in three hours late to school, holding a pick and mix bag, and when the teacher asked her where she had been, she innocently replied:

JENNY: I got the wrong bus so I went to get a pick and mix.

Or the time that I winded myself (Long story involving a hill, wet grass and a teacher stupid enough not to realise that you cannot ask children to play rounders in these conditions)


Or even the time when we made miniture rockets out of old photo containers, coke and mentos <3... and Abie wanted to hold one to her face to see what would happen.


Gooooood times. 


That was that.

Then it was break.

Sun was still not up. Ridiculous act of laziness.

Megan got her Grease jumper today, suited her!! But anytime she walks to the toilet, all you see is "FRENCHY" screaming at you from her ass... badly positioned writing?

Feel bad for the guy that's playing "Doody".

ASHLEIGH: Doody on your bum!!

You can't help but laugh. My friends people.

DOUBLE ART 

Brilliant double period.

Spent all the time at the computers, sitting next to Kristina and (CHING!) Lauren.

We were meant to be choosing the artists to write about for our Expressive essays (I've kinda done that) and choosing what to do for our Design folio (Going with a perfume bottle... kaching)

HOWEVER

We spent the double period looking up flower babies...

Babies don't grow on trees you know

No. They grow on flowers. 

Idiot.

Kristina looked up awesome photography (NOT artists)...

I hear incidents like these are on the increase.

And de-motivational posters...

The caption speaks for itself

And, if you are Kelly...

Functional AND Beautiful.

Haha, When Lauren was searching for her flower babies, she came across something that stirred her interest.

LAUREN: Westie cupcakes!!!!

US: WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?! Oh... cupcakes shaped like Westies

Gotcha.


Double period went by quite quick. Yay.


Haha, we tried to do a "hands in"... Kelly wouldn't join in. Spoil sport.


Missed my art buds, love em!


Lunch was weird. I forgot to eat.


What a weirdo I am.


Ashleigh gave me one of those shaped elastic band bracelets, shaped like Goofy! Love!!

Do you see Goofy? No? Me neither.

I lie. I kind of see Goofy.

Thanks Ash!

DOUBLE MATHS

The worst double of the week.

If I didn't sit at a table with Dougal, Sophie and Calum, I don't know what I would do!

They are so funny!

They made me hum the tune to "Coco Cabana".

Which was really weird... cause they all leant into me as they were requesting me to do it...

I was like "Uhhh, guys, It's kind of freaking me out that you's are all leaning in to me just now."

So Sophie leans over so far that her stomach is now flat out on the table and her legs are in the air.

Never should have said anything.

Dougal should not have that Cineworld Unlimited card, hasn't been using it lately! Naughty boy! I use mine all the time!! He better get a crack on, only two more months left on it.

Sophie needs to get out early from Maths to get to work, It's sweet, she's always trying to convince him to let her go. 

Today she went down to Guidance and begged for a note.

So she got a note.

Mr Hughes still didn't believe her, and felt quite hurt that she begged guidance and not him.

People are so needy these days.

Day was over after that. Just went home and watched Jaws...

CONFESSION OF A MOVIE GEEK:

 I watch a lot of movies.

Okay. That's me for today. 

Still quite annoyed at myself for relapsing on the great mood. I actually slapped myself to try reverting back to yesterday...

Did not help.

Depression cures:

Friends? GOOD.

Slapping? BAD.
