Woww thank you de.novo for the pictures! Soo pretty! Umm I'm not entirely sure if I'm going home since it's so far away/expensive. I planned to but my parents keep trying to convince me that I'll be having such a fantastic time that I won't want to leave... I don't think they realise that I would have nowhere else to go unless I find someone who wants to take me home for a few weeks haha :rolleyes:

Oh and I just read through all that has happened in the last 9 hours and yay I'm glad you like my name Reblet :biggrin: A little word of warning to everyone though: don't call me Fran. I just spent the last 5 years trying to convince my high school to call me FranCINE (and succeeded) so I really don't want to have to start the cycle again!! :smile:

But the chance to re-sit straight away. That's amazing. Very jealous... We have to wait in agony for months. :frown:


Hahaha. Re-sit is not something you can do if you get a not-that-good mark. If you got less than 10/20 BUT more than 8/20 you can resit only the subjects you failed to achieve at least 10/20 in. If you got less than 8/20, you have to take it again next year.

So if you have more than 10/20 you got your Bac, but if for example I fail to achieve 13/20 and I have 11/20 instead, I can't re-sit some part of my exam to get a better grade. Unless I take it the next year which I really don't want.
AHHH !
It's finally snowing !
For the first time of the winter, it's snowiiiing !
(That means I'll get into Durham tomorrow HAHAHA.)

Make them do a grammar test! Muaahahaha! Or write a short persuasive speech or something. Whatever it is, make it evil :mwuaha::biggrin:

I think I will go with the grammar thing. Do not want to scare them and all. The evilness will come in later!

good plan, do both :p:
how old are they?

13/14. They are year 8 and 9 kiddies. I see them everyday. The essay will be the next day.

Well that's true. When I go back for Christmas it will be very far away as well. But Collingwood only allows you to stay in for 2 of the 4 weeks. So, I thought might as well go home, and not shiver away outside. Unless, like you said some poor kind soul takes me home. And won't call you Fran. Reminds me of 'The Nanny'. Francine it is.
Aha i've just come back on to find i don't have 65,000 messages :frown: Desperate Housewives makes me happy, though :biggrin:

Pretty quiet in here. Strange given that the time is only quarter past ten. Everyone cannot be asleep already.

Really... I'm going by the time that TSR reflects on the post and mine says 22:24 now. Well, I'm off. Catch you all later.

I'm guessing that your computer hasn't realised that it's British Summertime yet. See you later... I should probably be getting some sleep too!

Tomorrow is the last day of your holidays? Oh dear! I've got two weeks of lovely holiday in front of me.

That's probably not what you want to here, when I think about it...

Lol. It hasn't indeed. I'll change it.

Nicola, don't worry. I have a tendency to leave things at the last moment too. Case in point, the horrendous lesson plans. I am just going to bore the Language classes with tenses and grammar. Like they will listen, anyway. Well goodnight all. :sleep:

God why is it so quiet everywhere...
finally firmed durham the other day. :smile:

felt a bit weird about it, like i'm not totally happy declining kcl, but ARGGHHHHHHHHHH *headdesk*
I'm here :p:
it is pretty quiet though.

and Pippa - same college, snap! I'd have a hard time choosing as well but from a personal perspective I went to LSE this year & hated it (I dropped out hence going to Durham), so I reckon you picked right :wink: London isn't so great for students imo, I love living nearby at home, but at uni? meh.

Hello, future course mate! :wavey:

It doesn't matter what the other university is. For me it was Bristol. I felt horrible and that I had made a mistake after confirming Durham. Lasted for about a half hour. But the feeling will pass. And now, I have no doubt in my mind.
STILL NOTHING FOR ME ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH



But i saw four ducks in the pond on my way to school.... all boys so i dont think there will be any baby duckies any time soon :frown:


Nicola when you go on your grand visit to Italy if you want to stop in Basel on your way feel free :biggrin:
