My first school residential trip - North Wales

Well hello there, last weekend (23-25) I went North Wales with my geography class. When the teachers first mentioned this I automatically said to my mum I'm going on this trip and you can't stop me from paying for it, so she let me go as soon as she heard it was for my exam anyway. However as the date drew closer I was slowly regretting saying I wanted to go, as I had never been away from my family for more than a day which was making me feel really homesick. Now on Thursday, I had a lot of thoughts of what could happen if I go and what I would be missing out on if I didn't, but obviously I went because I needed to and plus I knew I would enjoy it. So on the Friday morning we set off in our schools yellow mini bus with everyone strapped in and singing to whatever came on the radio, occasionally playing eye spy or winding up the teachers about their 'awful' driving, but we finally arrived at the first youth hostel 7 hours after we left the school and a quick stop at the top of the mountains to see the beautiful landscape. So in the evening we had our lovely dinner and a 2 hour lesson on what we would be doing on the following day which I found kind of boring yet I paid attention and asked relevant questions, like I should! Then the following day we set off to the source of the river Afon Ddu and made our way down to the mouth via 4 different stops on the river. As we went down I slowly learnt what each part of the equipment was for and realised I had to check that we took all the equipment with us unlike at the second site as we left all the meter sticks!! Then we stayed on the beach for lunch and after we made our way to Caernarfon where one of my teachers brought us all ice creams and gave us time to do some human geography such as making a desire line map and some other map which I found really fun. We then went to the next youth hostel - Idwel cottage - and got told we had pull the short straw and was the other group made to have a teacher in our room with us which I didn't mind as she is very lovely. We then had dinner and after I got made to wash up which consisted of some rather weird convocations being started up, we then done a 3 hour lesson of which we had to draw a lot of graphs and learn different types of way to classify data, which I found really interesting and miss helped me understand a lot more. We then went to our rooms and I had to wait up to let miss in but we were talking so miss came in and joined us which made it funnier. Yesterday morning, we woke up thinking it was 7am but turned out to be 8am so we ran downstairs and had breakfast. We then went for a mile walk up the mountain for sports relief and when we go to the top we sat their for an hour and done field sketches. The view was amazing and we were all tempted to stay there for the rest of the day, unfortunately we had to go home. We all had fun at the weekend that we just spent today's human geography lesson just remembering all the fun we had!
If you ever get a chance to go to Snowdonia, don't turn it down!!! Go for it because it is beautiful!!

I'm here to help

Last weekend I saw a friend who I haven't seen since I was 5/6, so it was pretty nice catching up though we could barely remember each other. Anyways, when we saw him he seemed as high as a kite but still as awesome but that may of been because of we were all really hyper from all the fizzies and beer we were drinking!! But since then we've talked everyday and decided to meet up again with all the 'cool' people at the party in London city!! But he's been feeling really down because of girlfriend issues and grades so I decided to help him cheer up which I succeeded with but it doesn't stay that way for long. He just sent me a thank you for helping him through this all and for being there which has now brought a smile to my face.
Well anyways that's my little tale for this week.... Or month
