On Friday it was prizegiving so now I properly own my books! Actually on the book front my present kind of failed since I found out she is already reading that book! If she had only waited 41 days....
Afterwards I went to the tea for the teachers and special guests which was at first incredibly awkward but was fine once I found my physics teacher and some past pupils from last year. It was really good to hear their stories from university and especially comforting to know that they have all already made new best friends! Although very amusing to find that one girl had started talking like her new friends and had developed a northern twang!!
It was also quite inspiring to hear my head teacher talking about how whatever path we follow in the future it is the one God intended for us and how he will be with us wherever it lead us. This sounds pretty cheesy now actually... And I suppose it won't stop me worrying about Uni or exams when it comes to it but its a nice thought to keep with me I suppose. Also to hear a past pupil who is now a barrister talking about how her expierneces at our age really helped her in her life was encouraging. I know it was all directed at hall of 500 - 1000 (I'm awful at estimating!) people but it felt specifically for me.
