Class of '15

Some of you may have noticed that i've disappeared from the Blogosphere for the last couple of weeks. The only reason to explain my absence is that my grueling A Level examinations are fast approaching and i've taken time away from the internet to get my head down and focus. Whilst I feel somewhat satisfied with the revision i've completed so far, I thought I would sit down and write a blog post to fill all you lovely people whats been happening in my life.

Last Friday, we had our last working day at school before we broke up for study leave. To commemorate our last few days at school, we had a few themed dress up days to have a bit of fun and to hopefully distract some of us from the stress that was associated with the upcoming examinations.

On Wednesday, we wore pink. I'm sure all of the dedicated Mean Girls fans will know what this represents.

This was followed by Thursday. We had decided the theme of this day was to dress up as a character from a film or book. Despite not seeing the movie, I decided to dress mirroring the character Lilo from Lilo and Stitch purely for the fact that I thought her outfit was pretty cute. One of my friends decided to dress like Stitch which wasn't even planned. How did we do?

Friday, was chosen to be the most sensible day out of them all and so the unambiguous theme was Heritage Day in which we all decided to dress according to our cultures. Personally, this was the most enjoyable theme as throughout the 7 years of knowing each other, we have never had the opportunity to share all of our cultures simultaneously. 

Spending 7 years in the same school, saying goodbye was always going to be emotional. However, I don't think most of us were prepared for the amount of tears that were shed on Friday afternoon. After taking a few pictures outside, we proceeded to the Chapel, where we were presented with a powerpoint consisting of some of the unforgettable memories we have all shared together within our 7 years of school. We picked our favourite hyms to sing at the service which made the whole thing personal and more touching than our normal Chapel services. 

Ever since I was little, the day that I was most excited for, was the day when I finished school. Even though I know its not my final final day in school, as we still have to go to school for our exams and our traditional Speech Day, the prospect of leaving school is extremely petrifying. Our school is one that is dilligent consisting of many rules and to be entering the "real world" in which you have to make your own decisions (and food) is nerve wrecking to say the least?
