our last half term was at the end of may; i spent a weekend in scotland with becca which was so much fun - i can't wait to see her again next week for t in the park; and then 5 days in dublin with aine again! its crazy that we still get along so well and are so similar after almost 7 years!
during that week in dublin we saw x-men, made brownies, attended a party and talked non-stop the entire time.
the final half of term before summer really flew by. claire and louisa came to visit us and we had such a laugh with them; it was strange seeing people from home when we're not there! same with cole, she stayed for 3 days and it was amazing to have her there - i've really missed her.
work finished up for me last monday; it was the lodge kids last day and they all dressed up so i dutifully donned a main school uniform like i had told them i would and they were suitably amused. tuesday was all speeches and the prize giving for main school; then the staff party at night. on wednesday we helped clean and organise the school before georgie, rose and i went to see darren criss in the evening. what a night...seriously one of my highlights here! thursday was all a rush as everyone was leaving and in a hurry. we all set off, me second to last - heading to scotland for t in the park.
i had a BRILLIANT weekend. totally muddy and exhausting, my hair has never been so matted but i don't think i've ever been so happy. i saw some of my favourite bands, hung out with my friend, ate rubbish food, drank overpriced drinks and was so relaxed and peaceful (despite the huge amount of noise). when the arena got flooded on sunday, causing the previously slightly squidgy mud to turn in to a full scale swamp; i even embraced that! anyone who knows me can probably vouch that i am not averse to mud or dirt and it seems to be attracted to me so i actually really enjoyed dancing in the mud and rain with makeup trailing down my face - after realising that no matter how hard i tried i was inevitably going to get filthy.
now it is 4.56am and i am about to go to gatwick airport and then fly to florence where georgie and rose will meet me and that, dear reader, is where i must leave you for about a month. really it's not too bad, there's about a month between most of my posts anyway so it could be worse...and then next one should be really interesting! here's hoping i don't run out of money too early (i feel like it's inevitable) and don't lose anything too valuable.
