Day 29: ...And Calm.

It's over.

0 Days of Compulsory Education remaining.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No more Maths, or Science, or Geography, or... anything.

Apart from the exams... and the fact that I will still be going back to school for A Levels... even though I don't know which school yet...

But still. That fact that I now have an option whether or not I go to school is nice. Even though I will.

But of course, the past three days have been hectic.

Tuesday was good, Wednesday was great, today was... well... a rollercoaster of emotions.

Let's start with Tuesday.

Tuesday was the Day Of No More Science- I had Chemistry and Physics and then NO MORE! It was also the last day of French and English, which was sad because it will be so different and so much harder next year (I'm taking them both for A Level) but nice to know that we have finished the GCSE. Well. Almost.

Wednesday. We had our drama performance which went... ok. Everybody kept messing up their lines and missing out big chunks, but we didn't really let on. And I am happy with my mark so that's good. Then it was the last Music lesson, and then... 'Wicked'.

My GCSE Drama group went to see 'Wicked' for an end of Year 11 treat. It was amazing. My fourth and, unfortunately, final time (I have decided to ban myself from going again. There are sooo many other musical I am so desperate to see!). We had amazing seats- near the back of the stalls but right in the middle, so we had a clear view. The only slightly annoying fact was that the sound blew about 2 minuted before the end. I had been sooo looking forward to the ending- the final few notes ('WIIIICKEEED... DOOOOOM... WIIIICKEEED... DOOOOOM... WIIIIIIIIIICKEEEEEEED") are phenomenal, but you can't get the full effect of them until you are in the theatre and they are booming out, sending shivers down your spine. Except, just before this, there was a sudden 'BOOM' and the sound went. You could just about hear Dianne Pilkington (who plays Glinda) but not really anyone else. You could hear the notes played by the orchestra and when the whole ensemble was singing but not loud enough to get the full effect. But still, it was fantastic, and I love it so much.

Today, I woke up after just 5 and a half hours sleep, which after less than five hours sleep the night before, wasn't great. Especially with my cold. But today was the last day. It was nice- we didn't really do any work, even though we were supposed to have normal lessons all morning. We were each given a little notebook so we could all write notes in each others' books, which was really nice. We dressed up as geeks and, whilst a couple of people tried to bring back the old tradition of a 'Muck Up Day', the day went smoothly. I don't know if I'm leaving or not, but still I had to say goodbye to some people. It still hasn't quite sunk in yet. I feel so detached from life. But anyway, we are going to Alton Towers tomorrow (a school tradition that we are still allowed) which should be fun.

In other news, I am calling this blog 'Day 29' as I missed yesterday... and it was a day... even if I had to miss it... yeah...

Now I must sleep. Yay.
