Today was a mixed day...
We had the chance to dress up for World Book Day, which was really fun. I went as a penguin (costume re-borrowed from my friend)- namely, the one from Cuddly Dudley. It was really fun seeing who'd dressed up at school, especially as lots of the teachers had taken part, which is always amusing! Not going into too much detail over costumes etc.- just that there were a heck of a lot of people in onesies, and far far too many Wally's to count (bit ironic, really). I think my favourite was the group of Year 10 boys who wore cow onesies, with one boy who wore a horse head over his cow onesie, accompanied by sign declaring 'TESCOS DID THIS TO ME'. I know it's nothing related to books, but it was so so funny!!
Also today we got a few GCSE results- I got an A* in English Language (provisional- don't ask!), which I was really happy with, an A in History (only 25%, I wasn't happy with that one) and an A* in Maths overall.
I was a bit upset for a while, mainly because of the A in History. Someone once told me there's a lot of conceit involved with only being happy with the best, but others (who I believe more!) have said that it's linked to low self-esteem, which I think makes more sense. If it doesn't sound really awful to say, I don't think I'm big-headed, but I'm at the other extreme, which is just as bad.
Anyway, cheered up in Maths when my teacher told me I have a 'strong argument' for 'dropping' Maths, as opposed to doing an extra GCSE (called the IGCSE). For me there seems little point in doing it; the extra GCSE would just say the same as the one I've got, and seeing as I've done as well as possible there seems little point in getting a similar qualification. Also, if I 'drop' Maths I would have 6 periods a week to use for other subjects, so I'd probably do better in those, and I'd be less stressed out because I wouldn't have an unnecessary exam to prepare for. It's really a no-brainer!
This evening I had Parents Evening, which went really well, so currently very happy ^.^ Looks very likely that I'm going to drop Maths, best thing ever! I have my A* at GCSE and I'm not taking it at A level, so there is nooo point in getting another qualification which just equals it!
Ooh, and- shallow moment of the evening- that scene between Lorraine and Nikki in Waterloo Road made me squeal. Everyone else said they thought Tom and Nikki would get together- but really?! Surely that was obviously never going to work? I don't like Lorraine much, but Nikki... OMG, Nikki.
Anyway, shallow moment over (except my life is a shallow moment). In case you were wondering, I'm still feeling very very up-and-down; one moment I'm against everyone and everything, the next moment the world is perfect. I sent a slightly desperate email out earlier this week and I've had no reply, which is a little annoying (even though I shouldn't be slightly annoyed as I said before it was fine to have no reply). If I keep feeling this way- as in, slightly desperate and very very mixed- I will probably talk to someone... Or I should, anyway, I know I should, I just don't know if I will.
Ankle appointment tomorrow. Wish me luck!
