Blogunnukah day 6/13...

Happy birthday to me,
Happy birthday to me,
Happy birthday to Saskia,
Happy birthday to me!!!
Dont' you find it strange how everyone in my Biology class couldn't help but sing the above to me despite the fact.. its not my birthday!!
But it is the one the ONLY TAYLOR SWIFT!
Happy Birthday Swifty!!!
Ironically...... guess what I got for Hannukah.. A Taylor Swift Calendar!!

There is one thing bad about this time of the year.. what I like to call a Christmas common cold.. as I was born without tonsiles.. dun dun dah.. everytime I get cold it goes straight to my throat.. so I can't sing properly!
This is the point you all go uhhh... poor you!!
I really don't want to be ill.. at this point well at every point school is just too important to miss and to much fun to want to miss (the depressing thing is I'm not joking!!)

So on Saturday hopefully I will have volgunnukah up for the final day of Hannukah as my best friend and I are going up to town shopping... jelly???
We're going to get a crepe from the best place ever?? Want to know where check back later!!!
I just need to get that little lady to remind me to film an outfit of the day of her and I when we have got our crepe.. good idea isn't it!! So (lets call her Sarika as that is her name!!... remember remember!!

What else is there to tell you guys?? Not much actually it was one of those days.. Well tomorrow I am recording my choirs rehersal for my ICT coursework so remind me please that would be nice!! And I have a singing lesson.. well thats a fail!!

I finalised my A-level choices for now but I have been told there is several other occassions where I may be able to change them they are as followed:
-Biology
-Maths
-History
and Economics!
... I actually can't wait for next year.. when that's all I'm studying!!! No.. hate to name names but RS!!

I would like to also bring to your attention the topic of Movember.. our school did that last month and rasied over £2,000. The male teachers of our school almost all it seemed 'forgot' to shave.. so what do you think of mustaches...

THE PERFECT THING TO SAY TO YOUR TEACHER WITH A MUSTACHE.....I AM SO FUNNY!...

thank you for agreeing Sheldon!!

 

So I hope you enjoyed this incredibly random post.. this is how I roll!!
See you all tomorrow

Much love,

Blogunnukah Day 5/12

So I promised I would do a blogpost so here I am doing a blogpost.. yes its a bit late!
I just got back from my schools christmas concert and yes thank you for asking it went quite well! Once I finishe playing in the Orchestra (Alto saxophone of course) I had to go back to the sixth form block and wait until the concert finished. So I plugged in my ipod to the tune of its beginning to look alot like christmas and wrote 25 or so Christmas Cards.

Now I love writing Christmas cards: this year the cards say things like
Wishing you a Merry christmas
Hope you have a new year filled with love and happiness
Good luck with your mocks!
_____ (insert subject here) buddy!!!

But the older I get the less cards I write.. do you find that! Its not like I really want to send any e-cards I mean that kinda shows you don't care.. don't you think!!

This one is going to be a short one bare in mind as I have to go wash my hair and go to bed... I mean c'mon I need my beauty sleep!

So maybe I'll have today as a little review of my day so far.. believe you me I doubt a hairwash is going to make this day the BEST DAY EVER....
Chemistry was first an experiment that ended well badly.. the opposite of our predicition happened and really the opposite of science happened, the more water we added to the reaction (therefore the lower the concentration of acid became) the faster the Mg reacted.. need I say anymore to tell you something was wrong with that whole experiment! But something of interest my teacher was wearing this amazing necklace it had an element of the periodic table that corresponded to the first letter of her name.. i NEED NEED TO FIND THIS.. S is for SULPHUR!!

Not much actually happened today.. I had an anti-bullying meeting which was perfectly fine... it was my day to prefect meaning I could stay inside when the weather outside was frightfull but the radiator was so delightful.. get what I'm doing!!!

I guess the only other thing of interest well umm I've kinda forgotten sorry.. well I did cry in English we were watching To Kill A Mockingbird, and Scout was talking about missing her mum and I just teared up.. you know how it is!  (BTW: does not mean I'm suffering from that.. its just I couldn't imagine a world without my mum in it!!!)
Hannukah today: I got this gorgeous scarf/snood/etenity scarf/whatever you want to call it! I also got some cute bits and bobs giving me ideas for other peoples christmas gifts!

So thats it for now I guess!! Sorry it was short
Hope you all had a good day!
Much love

Welcome to Blogmas/blogunnukah

Hello all,
Happy Hannukah!
Right now I am blogging (obviously), while wearing christmas PJ's and matching socks(IRONIC.. AS I JUST SAID HANNUKAH also just to make this would even more ironic I got these PJS for Hannukah!!!... I'm too cool!

So I've almost been MIA for 2 weeks! I am so sorry, you know how it is with exams and mocks but I know thats no excuse!! So to make up for it today, the 11th of December, I Saskia Feldman pledge to blog everyday of December.
For now I'm going to call it blogunnukah as its only the 4th day of Hannukah but afterwards it will become Blogmas!! Does this all sound good!
BTW: due to this I am not going to be doing my series of American universities or DofE until January.. so sorrie for anyone who now is annoyed!!
SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO WELCOME TO:

 

BLOGUNNUKAH! DAY 11

 

I thought today I'd just kind of talk about how I celebrate christmas being Jewish. I am what they call a 'reform' Jew. See the thing is the stuff I love about Christmas I don't get:

- the tree

- the decorations

- the lights

- the presents!

 

But before you go all uhhh poor you! I love Hannukah, it may be because as most of you know I am quite obsesssed with candles and during hannukah you get to light not 1 not 2 but 8 candles.. actually in actual fact you get to light 44 candles over the 8 days.. wow that is huge!! You can see why a candle maniac like me loves this festival! BTW I am leaving out the fact that my mum is absouletly amazing at getting me gifts I love for Hannukah... I mean PJS how does she know!!!?????

 

 

What else do I love during this festive time... Michael Buble but more generally every single christmas song ever written by mankind or womenkind!!
From Wham to Band Aid to Mariah Carey... c'mon I know I am not the only one!!!

My favourite song has to be Mariah Carey All I want for Christmas is YOU...

I can't be the only one!! This song is just well its just so christmasseyyy!!!

If you haven't seen it just watch it for yourself you will see what I am talking about!!

Now how can I forget Christmas films from The Holiday to Love Actually and traditional ones: Miracle on 34th Street and Bishops wife: (Please see all trailers below!!!!)

The Holiday trailer

Love Actually Trailer

Miracle on 34th Street Trailer

The Bishops Wife Trailer

ENJOY!!!

One of these vlogunnukahs will be all about my favourite I'll make sure it includes a review... just so you know why I love them so much!!!

 

I guess thats it for now.. I promise promise to blog tomorrow! I think I'm going to discuss christmas gift and present ideas!!
So please look forward to that.. I'm kidding.. but that would be so cool if you did!!!

Much love

Happy Hannukah!

HELLO DRAMA QUEEN??

Yeh that hello.. is for me! Wow I think I completely overreacted yesterday but well you know!

Yes I am blogging 2 days in a row.. ain't it a treat!! NOT!
Just a short one I'm afraid to say it all went well with my english teacher, we spoke, he gave me incredibly good advice and ways to improve and has even agreed to mark a new essay I wrote on the same title to see if I actually did improve on what he said!

Looking at my work.. no I am not that proud of it anymore...its not what I thought it was like at all.. thank g-d that wasn't a real one.. I'm suprised I got such a ok grade as I did!

Thanks all of you for being there for me when I was in a bad mood yesterday.. next week I'll be back to my old self and DofE series will be beginning!
Thank you all
Much love

I deleted it.. I'm sorry...

Life.. + Intro to DofE series!

In order to see just about dofe.. skip to after this part:
So like right now... I am sitting on a chair blogging, just the sound of that makes me feel super cool!!So just some, kind of, well, you know what's that word.. its on the tip of my tongue... background I guess to my week.
This week has been anti-bullying week.. we have broken even on our wristband sells and our teacher baby photo competition is going incredibly well!! I am so glad its just all worked out so well!

What else...
hmmm... lets see, so today I got my hair cut at the local hobs on the student night by a friend of mine.. yes okay it does take a little longer but it costs so much less (£10) and I love what she did.. she had curly hair so she knew exactly how to dry it so I would love it! I suggest do the they call them model nights at hairdressers and beauticians.. it helps them and is cheaper for you!

Also today I had my grade 6 singing exam.. I do LCM board, I felt I did okay until it got to the interview.. yeh basically flopped!
I mean what and how would you answer
'When do you think the seeds of musical theatre were first sown?'
I had no idea so I went on about Stresemann and Germany when their musical theatre industry began booming!!!

Thats basically all I wanted to tell you!
DofE

Now onto DofE.. this was sent up by the Duke in order to encourage young people to volutneer, get physical and learn a new skill.
There are 3 sections
-Skill
-Volunteering
-Physical
and the expedition
(I will do an individual post about each and my expereinces)

Bear in mind this is only for the UK: many schools do this program but if yours doesn't, check out the below link to find a place near you that you could join to start your DofE...
OR using their tips online try to convince your teacher/school to start doing it at your school!!

I hope this was a good preview of whats to come!!
Got to get back to chemistry revision!
Have a nice week all!
Much love

Parents evening....

Parents evening.. the one day a year when your parents get to find out really how you act in school.. where the naughty (not that kind... I know what you were thinking.. ok the bad kids) KARMA strikes... and all of their behaviour and misdoings are snitched on to thier parents!

Now don't call me a geek.. honesty its just that well, I, I- I LOVE parents evening!! Ever since I was a young one of I think 6 or maybe even earlier...I have looked forward to this day as my mum always seems so proud. So I guess I should tell you.. I behaviour in school.. I'm basically a goody-goody two shoes. (BTW: I wrote a book called Miss Goody Goody in yr 5 I'll publish the first chapter after this post I promise.. please remember I wrote it in year 5.. its not that amazing.. but if you guys like it I'd be happy to post the next chapter every couple of days??)
I hate being rude.. and I love a challenge.. wow.. I do sound like a nerd.. Oh god!!!
The truth is I love to learn something new and especially I LOVE SCHOOL... that's why I want to stay in education (university) as long as possible... get opportunities I wouldn't have thought I could!!
So is that you?? Do you like a challenge??
Do you enjoy school??
If so, teachers DO AND WILL notice.. so maybe you will be looking forward to parents evening this year!!!

On the subject of working hard and doing well I found this quote.
'Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity'
This quote.. is so true...!

Just some quick background info: I found this quote as I was surfin' it up on the web.. looking for quotes to potentially put in our years yearbook.. (slightly retorical huh??)
I have been named official editor in chief and am loving it!! I couldn't have asked for a better yearbook team.. they have such enthusasim and going to meetings is a joy! As well as this the same commitee also organises prom.. how amazing??? So excited, believe you me I will be doing blogposts explain the how tos of planning a) a yearbook and b) prom!!!
This year is going to be amazing.. my last year in uniform.. I think I'm gonna miss my marron and black striped blazer!!!

Hope all of your weeks are as lovely as I am feeling mine is
Much love
