Good days...

Last few days have been really really great...all will be explained below:

On monday I went to Amber's house to help study but found myself watching a movie and then sitting at the sea side instead *cheeky grin* then Amber's auntie made us the most delectable steak for dinner. The movie was great although amber didn't enjoy it. The beach was lovely though - all quiet except for the noise of the crashing waves. Then I eventually went home on the 21.05 bus and got home very tired but didn't sleep until perhaps 1 am the next morning.

Tuesday - woke up, showered, dressed, bus to Downpatrick, another bus to newcastle, got off in newcastle, arrived at amber's, ate some lovely noodles with mushrooms and ham or something in them ^_^ then we set about to doing some more english revision. We went down for lunch and got KFC (which I paid for) and it was there Amber said the words that made me giggle for the rest of the day. The were, "I don't like having friends who are really really REALLY skinny because I'm always afraid I might break them". We then headed back to the house for more studies. After we revised for a short while we watched a movie called 'Assembly', directed by Xiaogang Feng, that is about a soldier who fights to gain recognition for all of his lost comrades who died during a battle of the Chinese Civil War. It was definitely very good.
After the film we headed down town to do some english revision at the library - but we popped into Painted Earth for a few minutes first. Painted Earth is the kind of shop were you buy canvass, paintings, postcards, photographs etc etc. Amber bought a postcard to send back home and I bought a fancy picture of daisies and raindrop and stuff. I was asking the woman who owns the shop about some photographs that were on the wall behind her and she explained that they were taken by local photographers. I explained to her that I myself was a keen photographer - we got talking for a few minutes and now she is interested in seeing some of my photographs and she says she may consider selling some of them *ryan is happy*
Then we went to the sea side were I took some pics in a sudden burst of inspiration. Two of the best of these are shown below (I also thought they looked very nice in black and white so...):





Then we went to the library and studied for a while. Then, after that, we went to Mauds were we had hot chocolate but continued to study. We were sitting there cuddled up drinking hot chocolate and reading through notes when it occured to me that Amber had been staring at the same sheet for quite a while. I looked down at her and she flinched a bit then opened her eyes and looked up. The little dear had fallen asleep, teehee.
We studied for as long as we could until the alarm went for me to head up to the bus. When we got there, we waited a short while before i got on the bus and went home.
Wednesday was great too. I went into school to do my english exams which went very well themselves. Im expecting a B in my results if its anything better than a C. Then for the last few hours of school I went up to the ICT suite to simply mess about on the computers since the common room had been closed because of a broken window. While i was up there Mr Williamson came in and handed me a copy of the school's magazine. For those who don't know, I was on the magazine committee this year as its official photographer. There was in interesting and pleasing section about me in the magazine's editorials:


You might need to click on it to enlarge it before you are able to read it - point is, it made me very happy ^_^ and the magazine also used up to eight of my pictures ^_^
Then when school was 20 minutes from over i met with amber after her Mechanics exam and we sat at the front of school and ate our lunch (subway sandwiches) which were very nice.
Then I got home later to find that my provisional license had finally arrived so. . .now im going to start getting driving lessons and hopefully learn to drive by the start of August.

Oh oh, i also nearly forgot, i got a job just over a week ago - they pay minimum wage but its still something lol.

Well, i hope whoever has had the patience to read all this has enjoyed doing so

Cheerio for now
