Mathilde: Thursday, 31st May 2012

(is it May? I think it is. I keep on writing the wrong date on my work...)

So, hey guys. It's nearly half nine and Ash and I had our last ever lesson at Springwood High School (Academy? Not sure!) today. I'm not going to lie, it was so odd! I could see Ash getting a little bit emotional to the side of me....but we won't mention that ;)

Things have been fairly hectic recently, hence a lack of posts from me. I'm not going to waste time writing all about them here, but I am super tired now! It's only really beginning to sink in now that I have my last ever day at Springwood tomorrow. I'm not sure whether I'm happy or sad about this; things have been difficult recently but still...I've spent two years here. It's certainly odd, leaving. You'd think I'd be used to it now, right?

Unfortunately, Zeus died the other day, but my mam and I are planning on going fish shopping at the weekend. I'm not really an animal person, but I kind of really miss having Zeus around. He was an awesome fish.

Ash and I dyed my hair today (picture below. or above? do not understand blogger!). I wasn't planning on dip-dyeing my hair until after exams, but I was chatting with my friend Katey and to cut a long story short, she gave me a bunch of free hair dye! Since Ash and I had fifth lesson free, we decided to give them a go.

I'm not quite sure what to write here... I won't be writing for a bit next week, probably - I'm heading back home! 'Home' is up in North Yorkshire - Great Ayton, to be precise. When I was younger, I used to massively resent having to go and stay there (no Internet - shock! Sigh.) but I completely fell head over heels in love with Ayton maybe...three, four years ago? I was born there, but my parents moved down here to Yorkshire when I was really young. After my gap year, I'm planning on heading up to York for Uni. Originally, I wanted to open my own coffee-shop/tea-room in Ayton - just around the corner from the Captain Cook monument, to be precise - but working part-time at Loco has taught me that owning my own business would be kind of impossible...! I'm planning to continue making coffee next year (hey, I get paid to make nice coffees and chat to people, I'm not complaining!), but I was thinking that I might go into teaching after that. Or something.

Anyway, it's quarter to ten now and I am knackered. Just thought I should do an update!

Thanks,
Mathilde
