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.

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!
