The grass is no longer green over here. Well, until the sun comes out and melts/desstroys everything of course. The grass is covered in frost in the morning and on our way to the Main Hall, we notice the grass tips sparkling and we ignore the sounds of chaos around us as students rush to get to the nearest radiator. I picked up a leaf and it was so fragile it would have cracked under the slightest pressure of my fingertips -
and yes, the point IS, it is cold. Very very cold. I don't know how many degrees it is outisde right now but as it is night, it's probably as cold as it was this early morning. I wish I wouldn't have to go to lessons. I want to curl up next to the radiator in my room until spring comes and turns the grass green again.

So far, school is a pain. Whatever the huge differences are between my old school and this new one, they don't change the fact that I still have to go to class, complete assignments and do my exams. A general overview of my classes: English Lit is dull especially as we're doing Spies by Michael Frayn which I absolutely detest (one bit in the book he goes on about a tub of geraniums or something, at which point I was about to light myself on fire, along with the damn novel), Economics is pretty good becuase I learnt a lot of it already, History is boring but copeable and Religious Studies is pretty cool, except i tend to mostly space out during lessons. I space out during a lot of my lessons actually. I'm thinking i can get As in all my subjects for AS other than English, as the essay techniques that had worked so well in Brunei do not seem to impress my teachers here as much.

As tomorrow is a Saturday, boarders have to do two sessions of activities from 10 to 1; Huan Hui, e-Rue and I are doing music and study (as per usual) because nobody bothers us during music, and I can do my prep during that time. Then as we normally do on a Saturday, we go to town centre and go shopping. Which is the best part of the weekend, let me just point out. I love weekends. The anticipation one feels as the week crawls on from Monday is just tremendous. In Brunei weekends are non-existant as Friday and Sundays are the off-days in the week so you can't say 'have a nice weekend' or whatever, and when it's Thursday it's just a feeling of mild relief; lather rinse repeat for Saturday as well. So that's one big difference right there that I have managed to exaggerate somewhat.

In other words: NO SCHOOL TOMORROW! yes. and I can spend more money on useless things like dvds (i seriously need to catch up on Peep Show).

and other things.
