School’s out!

So, finally we have been released from the prison that is Oaklands Catholic School. For 7/8 weeks at least. I’m a bit miffed though, cause I was talking to a friend from America, he says they get like… 3 months or something off for summer :c
But, as it was the last day, Oaklands always tries to make the first half the most boring morning ever conceived since last years last day. (If that makes any sense) First, they have a whole school mass, hence the “Catholic School” part of their name. Rather irrelevant to me now, as I’m now atheist. But, I just sit there and daydream, none of the teachers mind- and I think they can empathise with the kids having to sit there packed like sardines in the hall.

Then, just as we think it’s going to get better… what’s this? End of year report? Crap. Basically, it’s the sixth form students telling us what’s happened over the last year, even though we do actually go to the school. Thanks a lot guys. Thanks for wasting my last day :P
And THEN, they have awards to give out, which like 1/2 of the kids in every class get, so it takes a while to get through them. My hands were red and sore afterwards from clapping.

Anyway, after a broootal morning, we have lunch and get ready for the end of year concert. Well, my lunchtime was spent chasing round to find drums and the lead singer, which are both rather crucial to the performance. (Just a bit)
The song we played was Black Stone Cherry’s Rain Wizard. Rather awesome rock song with very nice drums, vocals and a ripping wah solo.

S’all good. I think most people at the concert liked it too, judging by their applause and shouting :D
We were up first, which was good in a way, cause we could set up everything at lunchtime, and no-one would mess around with drum positions, guitar amp settings etc before we came on.
It all went good and it was an awesome end to the day.

So, I’ve got 6 weeks off now! Woo hoo. Just the right time to start a blog I guess- when I’m doing absolutely jack :P
But, I’ll be going out with friends lots, going to West Wittering beach, and taking lots of pictures, so I’ll blog about that :D
And, AND AND I’m going to Alton Towers with my good friend Alex, and staying over, which will be bloody awesome. But that’s in September. The two days we go back to school. Pretty ironic really. I’m looking forward to September.

In other news, I found a video which proves that Disney Channel rubbish is better when played backwards.

That is all.
