Day six; The English exam & Long lost friends

I awoke today much later than I had wanted; 1 hours and 30 mins later to be exact. Instead of getting up at 5:45 I ended up throwing myself out of bed at 7:15. Not good when your exam is exactly an hour away. I rushed to get dressed, then I had a nice calm relax with a cup of tea for a few minutes. Then I ran to the local shops, grabbed a Lucozade and a Galaxy chocolate bar and walked as fast as I could to school. Walking towards one of the gates I saw a friend. He was walking in the opposite direction to me. As he approached, he grabbed my arm, pulled me and said 'We've gotta go this way'. I thanked him and hurried along.

Once outside the exam hall, I had 10 minutes to prepare whatever I needed. All I REALLY needed was a nit of energy, so I downed most of my lucozade in one go...this was not a bright idea; the exam lasts 2 hours and 15 minutes, yet I needed to go to the toilet already. This wasn't good. Still, I shrugged it off. For the next few minutes I would be amassing hugs and putting people on edge by giving a creepy 'Good luck, young one..' in their ear. It was rather funny and certainly helped the overall morale.

5 minutes later we was called into the exam hall lobby. This is where we would have to leave our bags and make an orderly queue to walk in. Orderly? Far from it. There were masses of people rushing in, others hugging and bro-fisting and me and a select few we dancing. This was met with creepy stares. As I passed through the doorway, I was stopped and a metal detector was held up to me chest and pockets. As they scanned over the left side of my chest the detector rang. At this moment my heart jumped. I reached into my pocket and fumbled around, finding spare change from when I bought the stuff at the shop. I exhaled deeply as I turned to the teacher and sighed 'It's only money...' and made a jingle with it. She let me pass and I quickly made my way to my seat 'E08'.

A quick lecture and then the papers were passed around. The paper, in my opinion, was a Child's play. The questions were rather easy and I filled almost every space available. I am rather confident. 5 minutes remaining and I notice I had made a mistake, I cross it out and write something else instead. Then, whilst writing, I hear 'Pens down!', I quickly finished my last word erratically, almost throwing my pen when finished. The papers were collected and we were dismissed in silence. We had already gone through first break so we had to go straight to English.

During English we did very little; Munched out, discussed MacBeth and Literature. Once that had finished, we went to second break which consisted of me receiving free food from Bethanie (I do love that one) and also tonnes of hugs (no surprise there). Break went quite fast. Once it was over I had to go to RS (Religious Studies). This is, overall, my favourite lesson; we have an absolutely amazing teacher! He is only in his twenties and is an absolute legend. He also is a funny sod when he wants to be. The lesson flew by, not much is remembered.

I stayed after school to complete some food coursework. This was so funny! Two of my friends, Michael and Jordan, were staying with me and when us three are combined...we cause chaos. We was essentially thrown out of the library. On the way home, me and Michael stood on the stunt pegs on Jordan's bike whilst he drove us home.

Once home, nothing happened. Dad came to visit; bad news. You don't need to know any more. Me and Dan went to KFC, he dropped me off at home and I got talking with a long lost friend again! Her name is Charlotte and she moved away ages ago, but now we've been talking all night. I love this girl so much! But I have had a right laugh with her and I miss her deeply. If you read this, come 'home'! You belong here! But yeah, she's awesome, enough said. But other than that, very little has been done. Oh yeah! My dog wiped his butt on my shirt...charming.

This has been day six! Thank you ever so much for reading.
