Hello, hello, hello! Well, it feels like a year since the last time
we've been here! But seriously, have I got news for you, this is the
grand return of Weekly News Round-Up! I hope you've missed us and are
excited for the following crazy awesome weeks! Let's begin...
First
up, what happened on Monday? Well, ArwaChihuahua, ANT, Ruby, Wicks and
Master were out in town for a little meet-up. It was a very exciting day
as it was the first time they'd been together since the end of the
previous academic year. I must say that it was an incredibly fun day,
but also one where we got down to business. Indeed, we had the first mug of the season (yes, now there are mugging seasons), where Master stole ANT's seat *dramatic music*.
We
must also confess that we made a few plans on which bench to go for
when we return to school (which we did on Thursday). Read on to find out
what actually happened.
Tuesday was a day where the
weather was lovely, so DisneyLoverMolly, ConscienceSarah and Master
decided it would be nice to go shopping. To be more precise, the trio
were stuck in a particular shop for the best part of 2 hours, with
ConscienceSarah staying in the same fitting room, DisneyLoverMolly
finding clothes, and Master pursuing the career of a cloak stand,
essentially. All in all, it was a lot of good fun and it was just
wonderful to see them again.
What an exciting day
Wednesday was. They like to call it enrolment day, but really, my
experiences suggest it to be just a day of waiting. And from what I
hear, Wicks will most likely agree with me. It was relatively
interesting when we all had to do an IQ test, which consisted of
seemingly endless questions on dice, patterns, and random words that are uncommonly used. Good times.
After
enrolment day, we had our first full day of school, where no one was
completely sure what time we were meant to be there for. Thankfully,
most people were early instead of late.
So, the moment you've been waiting for, where did we sit? Well, at breaktime, ANT insisted that we should sit on the only bench in the shade
(of course, ANT is still not particularly keen on anything sun or
heat-related. Some things just stay the same). However, come lunchtime, a
problem arose when another group were sat at the shaded table. But fear
not as it was resolved when they decided to move. Of course, we siezed
the opportunity and speedily moved to claim the space as ours. The real
problem was that the table was infested with lots of small spiders.
There was a certain moment when ANT had an open packet of crisps and a
spider in her hair. She gets the spider out, but is unsure where it
went, making ANT question, 'ugh, has it gone into my crisps?'
After
lunch, we had our first assembly of the new academic year. This year,
the principal has made it crystal clear that we want MORE. In
true school style, the word was made into an acrostic, standing for
motivation, opportunity, resilience and excellence (or something along
those lines). With this great acrostic came a less fabulous PowerPoint.
Remember the presentations from last year, hellyeah they were awesome!
But this time it was excessively complex, with an animation at every
turn and videos that we didn't have time to watch.
Friday
brought us to the end of an interesting week. Overall, I must say that
we've met some lovely people and I personally can't wait to go back
tomorrow.
Until next week, have a good one :)
