More Good News!

Hi I'm back!

First of all I would like to congratulate my friend Lauren, who passed her driving test on Friday! Loz, I knew you could do it ~ well done 'sis'! xxx

 

My acting exam went well on Thursday after all that worrying. I managed to remember all my character's dialouge for once. Usually I get stage fright and my mind goes blank but this time I was determined not to let the cast down. Relief flooded through me after the performance, it was a success!

My father had a lovely birthday ~ working! In my opinion there should be a law allowing people to take a day off to celebrate their birthday. Anyway I bought my dad a Sudoku puzzle book and a DVD called 'The Island', starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson. Haven't watched it yet. Any readers seen it? What's it like?

I am now on study leave. I only need to go into school to sit examinations. We had a Record of Achievement ceremony in school. Local football heroes (and former pupils) Morgan Stoddart and Scott Young were there to present our Progress Files. These contain certificates and other important documents, like a Personal Statement, to show future employers.

I was very proud to go on the stage to accept my Progress File. I walked across without using my walking stick.

Yesterday my Nan and I went to the theatre to watch 'The Buddy Holly Story'. The show was good but we missed half an hour of it because we couldn't park the car! We didn't miss much of the production, it was his early life and how he started out with 'The Crickets'.

Over the weekend Nan was wondering whether or not to go to Porthcawl for the week with the Sun holidays. Her brother John was taken back into hospital last week after suffering from chest pains. She has decided to go and enjoy her break. Get well soon, Uncle John! xxx

I hope Lady Luck will continues to be on my side during the next few weeks as my GCSE exams begin. My first exam in on Wednesday and it is Computers. The exam will involve creating letters, memos, spreadsheets and databases etc. I am confident that I will do well.

 

Wish me luck!
