Yes XD You did indeed come back. I shall have to drag myself to Manchester one day. Or just drag you back to Liverpool.

Oh yes XD HSM3. The wonders of Jason on the big screen. Too bad he wasn't created at that point. I would have been extremely proud to see him in an actual film.

Ahh. Nandos. I haven't been back there since. I really need to go because it has amazing food. And now I have a craving for Nandos. Wonderful.

Relentless. Hmm. I haven't been banned from drinking it. Yet. Ooh. It even calls itself an 'obsession'! It's definitely calling out to me. I shall have to buy some and taunt people with the possibility of my overly hyperactive self.

[Ivy Tunstall]

Oh... I've cleared up several of those.

I just discovered a hilarious new pastime! Although you will no doubt think me very weird, I wish to share it with you.

Look up something to do with chemistry on Wikipedia.
Then click 'Francais' (with the cidilla in the correct place) and read out the article to family, pausing to laugh at things like 'Colonne à reflux' (Condenser), 'Copeaux de magnésium' (excess of magnesium) and - my favourite - 'le produit parasite' (by-product).

You really must come see Manchester. It really is quite fabulous on the whole. xD;; There's a lot to see... and we'll totally get lost, trust me! xD Plus there are loads of places to eat. Soooo many it's insane, Kia! ^^;;

I'm scared when I see my own charries on screen. I watched Spike and thought, This guy is totally different to Spike. ;_; Lol.

Hahaha. Yes, you should go when there are lots of you. Get the guys to go, and the girls. It'll be real fun! Can you leave at lunchtimes?

Lol. It's quite a big can, so... be careful! :P Smells like medicine too. ><

xD @ Izy. I love how sciencey you are. *long sigh* ;)

EDIT: Izy, did Lulu get back to you?

[Lynne Collins]

I shall come! I shall...well, I'll lie to my parents, for a start. Or maybe I'll convince Kate to do so for me. She's slightly more convincing. Sometime during the summer. *nodnod* But please don't get us lost for too long. I'll have to get the traain back, remember XD

We can leave at lunchtime but we would get to town and then have to return back to school. It's ridiculous. Maybe next year, when we can actually leave during the free periods.

That's an absolutely amazing pastime XD I would undoubtedly be more fascinated by the utter Frenchness than the indecipherable scientificity of it. Science is hard enough in English!

[Ivy Tunstall]

Loads of places to eat... hehe compared to Liverpool. I remember walking around for a v. long time.

Viv - yes, I thought I'd told you she said it was fine...

But I may not have done, because I did try ringing you twice on Sunday and no reply either time, so I may just have imagined telling you. ;D

I'm glad that at least Kia appreciates the appeal of reading things out in French and being amused by them. Viv, you could do it, for example, with psychology. You recognise things that you're learning about and they're just so much funnier when in another language. *nod nod*

[Lynne Collins]

I was actually asked by my old French teacher to consider doing a French AS next year. French does, I admit, interest me and I'm reasonably good at it. I'm not really sure about it though, to be honest. I'm too lazy and procrastinate too much to cope with an AS on top of three A2 subjects. XD The joys of procrastination.

[Ariane Chan]

And I shall take my camera! ;P
Hopefully it won't rain. But most likely it will. *rolls eyes and laughs* Unless you come in the summer.
Though that's no guarantee. xD;;

Izy, m'dear, now that you say it, you did indeed tell me. Oh dear.
...
T_T Isabel, I'm turning into an old crooone!
I actually Facebooked Miriam B today asking her to send me her article. Turns out she had done so days ago and I'd saved it onto my computer days ago.
Really, I'm going mad, Izy. Forgive me. ;_;

Lool. I'm sick of French. My mark in my GCSEs irritated me no end and I'm just glad I never have to do it again even though I'm competent at it. Well, General Studies doesn't count...
I'm still rather amused at the possibility of being taught by Mr Syrus. xD

I'm afraid I don't find reading aloud in another language quite as satisfying as you and Kia do, though, Izy. xD;; Oh well.

Kia, French is apparently a terrible hard and work-infused A level. I'm sure you would've hated it. xD;; Too much to learn. Heh.

[Ivy Tunstall]

Really? You do remember?

Because apparently you'd forgotten again by this morning when you chastised me in the corridor for not having told you. So really, you're making me quite confused! (It extra-confused me, actually, since Joelle told me that she'd finished it when I talked to her at orchestra yesterday).

Kia - it's certainly interesting doing some extra subjects. Obviously five AS levels is a bit much due to the lack of free periods. However, I'm not finding four A2s a huge problem in terms of workload - which can be pretty heavy as a direct result of every subject piling as much homework on top of you as they possibly can... but I'm still more relaxed than I was last year. So it ought to be perfectly doable, if you're dropping one AS, to take up another one - if you're interested in it. Kathryn's done that, and I think it's a good idea. Having some variety makes school more... well, interesting. Hehe.

That said, French does seem to be a particularly horrific subject to study at A-level - well, languages in general seem to be. I wouldn't want to do it, hehe (then again, I didn't exactly like my French lessons much).

[Ariane Chan]

I do. But you never told me which was which, i.e. who was being Mickey and who was Minnie. Which is why I said "I had to guess!". If Joelle's finished it, that's great... but I only sent her the email about Lulu and Sheanna last night, so. :/ Urm. Yes. I shall talk to her.

Not everyone wants to do more subjects like you and Kat. ;P
