The opening song in Grease 2... give it a chance it may not be as good as the first but Michelle Pfifer is very good!!!

Now onto the point of this blog... I get distracted sometimes!!!
TODAY the 5th of September was my first day of year 11...
THE YEAR THAT COUNTS.. apparently last year didnt!! (Don't think so!!!)

So this brings me onto prepartion for college:
This year I will be taking extra exams for US college called the SAT subject tests in those subjects I am not taking for A-Level such as Biology to find out more information about these SAT subject tests:
http://sat.collegeboard.org/about-tests/sat-subject-tests
Don't worry there will be a whole blog post dedicated to it: that will be next weeks probably!

But onto again the point of this blog: an update on my day:
My school spends the first few periods of the first day handing out planners and timetables, we then spend the rest of the day in our lessons for that day:

This year I have just started Economics: I love it!
Over the summer I read 'Economics for dummies' to get myself in the mood and to read ahead... hey I told you I was keen!!

It really helped and already I feel just that bit more prepared!! Who knows I may be taking this subject at A-level if all goes well!!!

The folder we were given for this subject is yellow: matches the book yes I will grant you that but yellow really doesn't compliment my skintone!! I'm just kidding with you... I wouldn't not use a folder due to its colour and I not being two peas in a pod!!

Also a new year brought new year 7s.. .adorable I remember when I was a year 7.. who had a too long skirt and a ugly heavy backpack they'll soon realise handbags are in!!! But obviously given they were new alot of them got lost so I thoroughly enjoyed helping them to find their class and look forward to having to do this for the next few weeks while they find their feet!!.. (figure of speech they all do have feet btw!)

Otherwise the other subject were following on from what our year had done last year!! But what was being asked alot was friends to friends or friends to other pupils friends (the word friends is really starting to get on my nerves) about their results!! I was asked god knows how many times and simply told them only my history grade which I will tell you all too... A* i know I was so happy... but for the others I would simply say: I was very happy were you? xxx
Its the best way, it makes sure you don't seem to be boasting!

Maybe you want to see a list of what I bring to school: (Below is a photo of some of the things but I'll list them all too!)

The Obvious:
Folders/books for that day (depending on the lessons I have)

Do we have to go home??

So as you have probably read... and if you have not you should have read my above/below blogpost all about GOZO, I just spent the last week in the beautiful island of Malta staying at the Hilton Hotel in Portamaso, I had a wonderful time.. as you can probably guess from the title of this blog!!
When we got there we met up with my first cousins who had decided to also come on holiday with us.. us 3 girls (me, my first cousins: Izzy and Georgia) had an absolute blast, everyday was spent sunbathing, listening to music, swimming and relaxing and then in the evenings we all got dressed up and hit the town.. not literally as we weren't old enough into any of the clubs even though as we walked through that area we were handed little coupons saying 'free drink/cocktail' by different owners of those bars!...Flattery I think that we even looked 18!!!

(I promise to make a collage of photos and update it onto this blog!)
As much as this was amazing, my dad and I had the original plan of going everymorning scuba diving with an instructor in order to earn our paddy badge.. I know exciting.. not really!
 To tell you the honest truth the organisation until we got to the place where we were diving was very unorganised!!! We then put on our scuba suits and got taught all about the breathing stuff we had to carry and etc etc.. we then were pushed into the sea.. wait I WAS TOLD WE WERE STARTING IN A POOL... A POOL NOT THE SEA!! So I was ok for a bit but as we dove down to 12metres.. on my first dive, I suddenly panicked and swam to the surface.... I was so scared!! I know babish but it was the first time I had done anything like that... I then tried again and the same happened so I said I wanted to get out and didn't want to continue wiht the 5 day course!!
Then as I was trying to climb out of the sea... I felt a burning sensation.. on my arms and my left leg.. I asked if this was normal and turns out I got stung in 6 places by a jellyfish!! So the person at the reception poured vinegar all over me.. i smelt like fish and chips!!
But ahhh it was so painful!!! It felt like needles pricking my skin!! Xxxx

Will update later
Much Love
