Birthday!

Today is my 15th Birthday. Exciting, huh?

I can now legally attempt my Learners Licence test. If I pass, I may drive a car providing there is a fully licensed driver sitting in the front passenger seat. Swell. I may also view R15 movies. Swell.

So, what was the haps today? Not all that much, actually. Ella's away on her year 9 camp, and I had school, so that, you know, kinda kills all potential "exciting stuff". In saying that though, I got 4 books, some eyeliner, the other half of my phone (heh), a model horse, some chocolate, a French-English dictionary and a Marriage Certificate with Momiji. Thanks guys- y'all rock! :)

And Claire, I love you. That's all.

Yumi

On Saturday our homestay student, Yumi, arrived. It's been great having her so far. We just sort of clicked right away. She's here for a month, leaving 3 days before my birthday.

Speaking of my birthday; for some reason I'm vaguely excited about being 15. I know it's silly, but I am. I don't think it's because then I can drive, because I don't really want to drive just yet. In saying that, I think I will get my learner's licence soonish.

School's started, and I'm doing history instead of Drama due to clashes. I don't really mind; I'm enjoying the class, if not the people *in* the class. Ooh! Mrs Bothwell's Bevan 5 class. Yay!

Rangers started up again on Thursday, but I missed it. I've missed all my Ranger buddies, especially Claire. <3

School Holidays, Kinloch, NCEA and the like

So, I just got back from Kinloch. (Literally, only been back, for like, an hour). It was fun, we had a week there, then a week in Auckland for my Grandad's 70th birthday, and then another week in Kinloch. Unfortunately, my grandma, who owns the bach we stay in at Kinloch, couldn't come up until yesterday. :( So, we didn't get to spend much time with her.

On the up side, NCEA results are OUT! Yay! They were pretty good. I got a merit or excellence for everything, but I don't know if that is because of my performance or because of my derived grades due to me having had "significantly impaired preparation" for the exams because of subacute thyroiditis.

School's back on the 2nd of February. :(

And, I got a haircut, which was exciting. Ella did too, and hers is a rather dramatic change.
