first week of non-compulsory education

During the week I have been back to Grey Coats for an induction to 6th form. My opinions of 6th form are so far so good. On Monday we just had to clarify our chosen subjects and pick two workshops out of five to take part in. Me and my friend decided to pick 'an introduction to mandarin' as we thought it would be a laugh. But we ended up not going as we decided sitting in the corridor chatting to people was more fun. After lunch we had out second work shop, 'a formal debate'. It was all about whether god was real. It was really interesting but unfortunately, feel it was spoiled by certain individuals who thought it was a call for them to mess around and talk over others. Why go to a debate of you're that sort of person???

its girls like that who I wish had left and gone to another 6th form or college, and considering how much they complain about the school you would think they would. However I'm happy to see that most of 'the fake tan girl's' and 'blup blup' lot have gone somewhere far away form me lol.

On Wednesday we went on a trip to Cambridge. At first I didn't want to go, I though what a waste to time! But it turned out to be a really good day, and the aim of the trip was success- to bond with new members of the year. And indeed, me and my friends did. I'm happy to see that so many cool people have joined the year group. During our visit there we went punting which was a great experience, and as we went along the river we got to see the place where Harry potter learnt to fly!!! Always a bonus!

Next day was circus skills which I wasn't exactly looking forward to but it was great fun. We got to play around doing little things like spinning plates and bigger things like unicycles. But my most favorite thing of all was the stilts. For once I got to know how it feels to be taller than the rest of my mates! At first I was useless, and the circus man threw me over his shoulder and carried me over to the wall as i could walk over there. I soon got the hang of it, but then fell over resulting in a bruised knee, and somehow even though I landed on my front I've hurt my back really badly!

It's been a great week; I hope that it is just as positive when lessons start next week. However somehow, I doubt it!
