SO MUCH SNOW!

SNOW. That is all that we have at the moment.

My relationship with snow is pretty turbulent. Up and down, love and hate, right and wrong. And more annoying opposites.

Right now I am not happy with the snow. It is stressing me out as moving weekend is here and moving is going to be tricky. BUM.

What else? Very hectic week. All my essays were written in dramatic last minute/pressured fashion. Wrote possibly my worst essay of the term at 1pm today in 55 minutes after having a super long journey from London to Oxford because of our good friend, SNOW. Oh and also the Oxford Tube, which has become a bit substandard. Anyway am glad classes are done for the week, and also that Sociological Analysis is nearly done as the class has become really tedious, mainly cos it's a massive lecture, but also cos our essay topics are really odd and so it's difficult to well in them.

Went to X's father's birthday dinner last night, was very nice, we had Indian food. I like going out for Indian food, partly cos it's ironic, partly cos restaurant Indian food is different to actual Indian food. I liked the "manly flowers" I took X's dad - I think men should get flowers too.

Aaah packing, I knew there was something I had to do. How can I avoid it? Maybe whoever gets my room will want my stuff and then I can buy all new stuff??

So the next time I post it'll hopefully be from our new nest :) Wish us luck!

Every other school in the borough....

...was closed today. Except for....that's right...you guessed it.....my school.

And why, you ask? Because we're an Academy and so we "put learning first".

Rubbbbish. Learning? What learning? The kids were absolutely off the wall. Particularly since right from the start of the day they were told they couldn't go outside because of health and safety issues. Surely this is against some kinda school rule or something?

Anyway, how can they expect kids to learn when they're practically being kept prisoner and there's lots of beautiful fun snow outside? If we'd let them out for 15 mins, most of them woulda got bored by then and got it outta their system. But no. So instead we have them bouncing off the walls inside school.

Glorified babysitting, that's what we did today. Except at least you can control babies.

Tomorrow will be worse:

1. Still no fixed classrooms so mayhem.
2, Black ice will form over night and so everywhere will be slippery and dangerous.
3. It's non-uniform day.
4. It's the last day before the break.
5. The fire alarm was set off twice today and no-one was caught (while the kids who set it off yesterday got off with "community service").

Aaaaaaargh! Fingers crossed lots of them stay home tomorrow. One more day, that's all I can say....

On the plus side, some comedy work below from my delightful little brother and his St John's buddies. Creative stuff. See, this is why the rest of the Tabs would "rather be at Oxford than at John's". Aaah to be a student again...
