This week was pretty blank really – I have an awful lot of work to do and very little time to do it in. Nethertheless I had a mid-term on Wednesday that went quite badly, scored a goal in soccer on Thursday, and hardly slept at all over my weekend.

The mid-term was on British Social History, which I did study for. The things he wanted us to study were quite broad, so I had to read my entire note-book to get everything, but in nothing like the depth I wanted, so when I got in there and started to write my exam I was little disappointed with how little I could actually write about. Such is life I suppose

My soccer game on Thursday we lost again, mostly because our best player wrenched his knee really badly while we were playing. I scored a goal after that, and was so happy! It was a little cross in front of the goal, which I tapped in, and all the work was done by this blonde German guy called Matti, but still. I got a goal!

It’s the weekends that I live for – on Saturday I was supposed to go to Alcatraz, but I was silly and made a mistake with the dates. I showed up all fat and happy wondering where the heck everyone was, but it turns out that it’s next Saturday. I can’t go that means, because I am going to Palo Alto to carve pumpkins. You know my life is just awesome when I get randomly invited to carve pumpkins! Anyway, because that fell through I went to San Francisco and wandered around again. I ended up in the hippy district, and an anarchist bookstore. I really wanted to buy some of the stuff there – I’ll take you, Mum and Dad, if you get here. It was classic.

I also love donuts.

Friday night I was up very late – Noa suggested we make cookies, but we had no ingredients. By the time we’d walked to the all night supermarket, got a movie and done various things like that, it was 0130. By the time the cookies were one it was 0330. I thought of you Kippies, with someone stuck out in the field this late at night on sentry. Obviously I was having a better time than you though. HA! Suckers.
Saturday night I was up very late as well, because I watched the movies that we chose the night before. Freda (about this Mexican painter) and the Boondock Saints. Both were good in different ways – Auntie Donna, maybe you’ve seen Freda? It was both wonderful and horrible, which is a little like her paintings really.

I can’t really remember much about Sunday, except I watched a good football match which one of my friends was playing in, and then went to Catholic church because the protestant churches are useless and don’t have services at night. It was nice. We sang Slane, which is one of my all-time favourite hymns. And then we had donuts.

Don’t be surprised if I don’t update this for a wee while – I have so much work to do it is not even funny anymore. Cheers team,

Margie
