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

Life in general

Well. Hello future Charlotte. So this is sort of like an online diary for you, huh. So... some notes about life on the 10th of December:

1) Today was the Junior Honours Awards. You and Jelena tied for the medal. Are you happy? Still not sure. Content, maybe. Certainly less drama than last year. FAR less embarrassment.

2) Tonight was the Ranger dinner at Pompeii Pizza. I (you) just got back. It was awesome. You ate too much, and for a chunk of the evening had a napkin on your head. Blame Charlotte W. But it was fun, because there was pizza, and of course, friends. Especially Claire. Yay for Claire! Twas fun with her camera and Kristi.

3) I (you) am txting way too much this month. I'm down to about 190 txts... On the 10th... Why is it always December when I send the most?

4) Who would have thought things would be like this with your friends? Thank goodness for God!

5) You have had subacute thyroiditis for almost 6 weeks now. I'm starting to get better, but my energy levels still suck. Thanks again to all my friends, without you guys, I have nearly ZERO energy.

6) You are going now, to have a shower.

7) Merry Christmas!
