Have you any helpful Barcelona pics - that I can use for the Choir yearbook page? (Or any other helpful pics for that...)

[Ariane Chan]

Oh no... I forgot to give you Barcelona pictures.

But I swear I gave all of mine to you a long time ago?

Anyway, um. Yes. I'm using one - the one where we're sitting in that big space where we eventually sang? Um... the place with those weird men in weird suits. xD All five of us sitting where we ate. I do so love that one. I tried to get the one with me, Hazel and Emma (with me in the hat) in too, but I couldn't.

I have finally finished my page and am utterly delighted with it! Shall I show you what is written about you? Of course I shall. ;D

Isabel – a clash of writing, singing + individuality
4Houses, Jezzy-bell, Site Business and Rants & Raves; choir, Barcelona, multiple concerts, trumpeting down roads in the middle of the night, ‘May It Be’ and ‘Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again’, ‘God On High’ in Les Mes, ‘The Bare Necessities’; almost killing me crossing a road in York, sugar mice; (failing to play) golf; finally joining Mingers; cleaning the old common room (joy of all joys); ‘gallivanting’ to Liverpool; bright red waterproof; a bag that’s bigger on the inside; dancing around a may pole; ‘darling’; your bowling technique scares me and Ting; brilliant writer but don’t let Justin or Jez get to your head!

But anyway... which pictures do you want? Any idea?

[Ivy Tunstall]

The gardens that Gaudi designed? I can't remember what they were called either.

I meant... whole group photos... bah.

*points to spelling mistake* Les Mis.

[Ariane Chan]

Oh thank youu~ :D

Yes, I used one of those. I'm afraid I don't have altogether too many... Shall I come on msn for you? I'll send them now.

I do believe I have a few of the five of us and others with the five of us individually/in small groups. Then a couple of our group with Renold. :)

[Ivy Tunstall]

Too late - I'm just not going to do it.

· Front cover: Veronique

I don't think we should have any photos this month.


I also got rejected from Durham. :)

[Ivy Tunstall]

Righty. Was Veronique supposed to be putting particular countries on? If so then you need to go and tell her about that.

Oh no!

They don't know what they're missing out on!

Do you know when you'll hear from Warwick?

[Ariane Chan]

Joelle emailed me and told me to email her 'cause her sister is very lazy. xD I did so. I told her we needed a world-themed issue and if she wanted to, she could put on some of the countries included. I did this because we haven't given the poor girl a huge amount of time... that and I don't think it matters quite as much this issue, since not everyone has chosen a country and I don't to be partial to those who have. Anyway, I gave her the list of countries and told Joelle her sister can include them in some way if she wants to. :) I told her to give it to me or you by the last week of March.

Lol, Durham just have no taste! ;)

Absolutely no idea. I want Warwick. Kinda a lot more than I did Durham, so... *crosses fingers* I hope they want me.

[Ivy Tunstall]

Oky dokes. I talked to Veronique at orchestra today, you see, that's all, so I just wanted to check that you'd told her the countries. (Jo's French person plays the flute!)

Indeed they have not! Let us hope that Warwick have more taste. *crosses fingers too* Of course you have York already and they're great so you're sorted whatever.

Actually, I have some good news! (Yey!) My sister got offered a job on the Civil Service Fast Track scheme! She'd had rejections from M&S Business, NHS Management and Teach First schemes, but Civil Service is actually the most prestigious out of them all so we're really happy! She did so well that she gets to choose which department she wants to work in!!! She has been really stressed, worried and depressed about all this so I'm really glad that it's all worked out well at the last moment for her. It's good for my mum too because she's been upset because of my sister being upset and all... so it's a very good thing really. I'm very happy about it.

*must go and post Ivy in Quidditch* She wants to congratulate Seth. ;D

[Ariane Chan]

Yay for French flute-playing exchange students! ;D

Yes, York is all that matters. Those three As. Heh.

Yaaay! :D Well done her! Now she doesn't have to stress so much! ^^

Oh, do. That'll make Seth feel very happy, proud and confident. ;)

[Ivy Tunstall]

Hehe. Well, I was impressed. She didn't bring her flute with her though, just borrowed a school one. Obviously. I would have been extremely impressed had she brought her flute with her to England... (and a little worried).

English is v. competitive... I mean, you have to get the same as me. But we can do it, Viv! I'm resitting CHM3 to make myself feel better *nod nod* I'm guessing you'll be resitting that Psychology A2 module which it sounded like everyone had failed... but I guess we'll find that out on Thursday.

And yeah. She can get quite nervous I think, and very anxious and... yeah. Makes me worry about her, so I'm v. glad. Now she's just going to focus on her degree, which she has quite a lot of work for.

Ivy is only going to say three words... I reckoned anything else would be a bit excessive in a game situation. ;D

[Ariane Chan]

Yes. I would be too. Though I would admire her for her foresight and keenness. ;)

Yes... it is. *sigh* Lol.
Yes, I'll be resitting Psychology module 4 or 5. I think it's 5. Or maybe it was 6? Meh. xD;;
I'm also resitting History coursework from last year. I'll be handing in that cheque tomorrow to Dr Walls.
I need to get good marks on those English re-sits... though they weren't amazing. *sigh* Oh Izy. I really don't know if I'll be able to get three As, when I think about it. But I'm not going to think for now. I've too much to think about and this is totally not helping, heh.

Heh, three words is better than no words to Seth! ;D

[Ivy Tunstall]

Ooh I didn't realise you could do that with coursework in History... is it a whole module or something? Interesting! Dr Walls is scary.

I'm confident that you'll be able to get whatever you need to get! *huggles* You are v. intelligent and v. well able to get 3 A's if you need to get 3 A's. *nods and shuts up*

Did Seth like the 3 words, then? *is annoyed about dice rolls*

[Ariane Chan]

Yep, it's a whole module. This year we do something similar, only we sit it in the summer just like an exam. It's a bit hard to explain... I'm not sure I understand it myself, lol. But it's the same for all my subjects - coursework was and is a separate module for Psychology and English Literature. Thankfully we only had coursework for Psychology this year.

:) Thanks.

He did! Made him feel very happy indeed. ^^ And I'll be posting him every day even if he has nothing to do to get his experience points up (I'm rather sad about Harmony's wasted 30 odd posts... lol). Most likely he'll be warning people about Bludgers since our Beaters are lacking. ;)
