Rushed as ever.

This blog entry has been much put off. You know when there’s something to do but it’s going to take sooo much time so you leave it to later, but then it becomes a bigger thing to do? Yeah..

CAMP:

• Learnt the Haka for the first night
• Were a bit too scary to the Firsties coming off the bus, apparently
• Big Booty performance for the Talent Show, half the Second Year girls on our camp
• Bonfire, as lovely as ever. National Songs <3
• Danced on the tables
• EXHAUSTION


Work:
The History IA is complete! All of my corrections have been fixed and I am so glad it’s done. Never before have I spent so long working on something that’s only 2000 words.

The EE is almost done. So close. I have my ‘Viva Voce’ meeting with Nick on Wednesday afternoon where we discuss the last minute detail. I will then put it into the system ‘Turnitin’, to make sure it’s below 15% other people’s words.

Codes started on Wednesday. I’ll briefly say what I’m doing in each:

English Lit- John Donne poetry (he’s SUCH a romantic, I’m obviously loving it)
History- Weimar Germany
Gerography- Extreme Environments
E Systems- Biodiversity
French- Past Tense
Maths- Sets

Fun times all around.

Activities:
Activities have changed this year in that they are running in 5 week cycles, so instead of doing four a year people will do 8. This is really nice! However as I’m leading Children’s Charities for the whole year I only have one extra. I signed up for Arts ones primarily as I haven’t done one this year.

So my new activity:
Ethical Felt design
Claire Cawte
This environmentally sustainable activity uses the college environment as a source of inspiration and materials, including; college sheep fleece, plants and kitchen waste. Global and climactic changes impact the environment and what resources found in nature collected and combined to translate into an expression of our creativity.
Inspiration drawn from recognised issues that can be transformed into a visual language and express in designing a costume for the end if term Fashion Show or site specific art around the AC campus.

The Eco-Rep in me is thrilled!

OTHERS:

My LNAT exam is booked for October 6th. Freaking out, slightly.
Caribbean Bonding last night- jerk chicken (I enjoyed the smell) and festivals with our two Firsties: Ricky from Puerto Rico and Zooey from Aruba. Six Caribbean students, 16 Italians… how?!

House Bonding- had a bonfire in the valley. Synove brought a bowl full of bread dough, we put them on sticks and made bread  The Scan version of S’mores I suppose…

Spent a night at the Cottage with 8 friends, thanks to Isabelle’s amazing parents coming to visit. Had a great time!
Gym is still closed… Abi is itching to work out.

Love, Abi

PS- The First Year show is tonight!
