Busy Saturday
Woke up at 9 and worked on homework: English homework on the juxtaposition between the intellectual and emotional in one of John Donne’s poems. Then my last Environmental Systems Write Up – on the zonation of a slipway no less.
Went to lunch at Fossil Cottage, as Antonia’s family are here and she invited some friends. Lovely time. Even indulged in some Ben and Jerry’s!
First service session of the year! It was something we volunteered for, as our service isn’t required to do things on the weekends. I did a canoeing session with Amy from England and Saleh from Palestine. The visiting group was -12-13 year olds from a Cardiff Youth Group. It was so interesting for me as they all spoke fluent Welsh. There are only three or four students at the school we are actually fluent… so this was the first time in a year that I heard Welsh being casually spoken for over an hour. The session in general was great, they were such a jolly group, had me bent over laughing when they tried to complete ‘Crazy Taxi’.
I then came back to defrost. And shower. And work on a bit of History Note taking of Hitler’s Rise to Power. Then I went to see Illisha so we could discuss our presentation on Monday English class about the poem The Flea by John Donne. It’s such a seductive poem, the guy is peer pressuring the girl to sleep with him, but using ‘metaphysical conceits’ and all this other hoopla that you don’t realise. So we’ve decided to read it aloud to some seducing-worthy music. That should help.
THEN I got in a mini-bus, that seated 16 and went into Cowbridge to celebrate one of my friend’s 18th’s. We went to a really nice restaurant called the New Market Place. I was really thankful I ate before I went though… the other didn’t get their food till 9- I would have been ravenous!
After we went on the Coastal Path near school and lit some fireworks Janos’ mum brought from Germany. It was different, which made it special.
Such a fulfilling day!
Tomorrow my grandparents come, which I’m so excited for.
