Spanish Exam and More Cinema

Meant to post this yesterday but didn't for some reason.

Anyway, my exams are now over and i feel a sense of freedom somewhat. I will feel a greater sense of that in a few weeks coz i am back to school for the start of a new year on Monday. It will be a taster as to what my 5th year in high school will be like.

But that's Monday, my final exam (Spanish) was yesterday and it went pretty much without any problems. Louis gave me a lift to school and we went into the exam room feeling pretty confident and rightly so. The reading was easy, the writing was easy, only the listening proved a little difficult but Louis and I both feel confident of getting an A.

After it, there was a big meet-up of quite a number of people in the year for playing football and lazing around on the grassy area not far from the school. It was great, and one of the hottest days of the year so far. It wasn't hot when i left the house so i didn't pack shorts. Whoops. )I did get a little burnt tho, bit of colour in me hehe)
Apart from that it was great fun, just being with friends, having fun, celebrating the end of the exams. Steven wasn't even there!

He wasn't around today either! I got invited to the cinema again and without hesitation i accepted that invite. Alan was there, Louis was there, Alex was there and so were a few other people.
It was quite funny, i said to Alex i would meet him at his house and we would go down to the train station together. When i got to his house he invited me in for a game of football on his ps3, which, in the end, caused us to miss our train :P
We were just rounding the corner to the train station and we seen the train sitting there with the doors open, we ran full pelt to it but two seconds before we got to the doors, they closed and the train pulled away.
Since it didn't matter too much, we laughed about it, the next train wasn't long after that thankfully.
So yeah, we caught the next train and Alan got on this one too, sat beside him again :D
There were 7 of us today as opposed to 5 on Thursday but it was all good, great fun.
Like last time, i wasn't bothered about what we seen and it ended up being what we didn't see the other day - Prince of Persia, starring....Jake Gyllenhall, who also starred in....Brokeback Mountain :P
The cinema was a lot busier tho, so the 7 of us got a bit split up looking for seats, i didn't get to sit beside Alan again (one of these days i will!!!)

I thought the film was ok, although others said it was crap. As i said, im not bothered, i watch quite a lot of films so it would have to be really crap for me not to sit through one. I think i enjoyed The Losers more tho.
After the film, everyone just walked around town for a bit again, went into a few music stores and caught the train home. Another enjoyable day out i would say.

The past few days have been surprisingly social for me to be honest, its not often i got into town twice in a week and i have done twice in the past 3 days.
Just relaxing a little now my exams are over i suppose and what better way to celebrate than being with your friends?
I also want to thank all you guys for your support over the past few months, it has been quite a long slog but i'm finished now and all your kind words and encouragement have been most welcome, means a lot, so cheers!
But my cousin is now about to start her month of exams, so if you will please, be enouraging to her too coz exams can get pretty stressing but i'm sure she can do it!

I suppose you'll all be happy to hear that my exams are over as well, i know it probably got a little boring and monotonous reading about them all the time but it's all done now until next year :)


Hugs,
Rowan


Not a big fan of Status Quo but i recently found this fun song by them called Burning Bridges. It's a really cheery and sort of celebration sounding thing. Suppose you could say it's been my song for the past couple of days :P
Don't think it's very well known but i remember Muse played it as a little jam when i went to see them, i like it.

  2. Glad your exams are over and your happy with them. Now on to better things.

    I see Alan is bing just out reach all the time. I think you need to catch him. Prince of Persia sounds good to me and I want to see it but we never get to Boise to see them. Have to wait for it on tape I think. Next month starts the summer movies and I want to see them to. Take care, Hugs JJ
