Clearance
The LPHS senior year is officially over. It was an iffy day... Where'd all my happiness go??? Today I discovered that after years of having a best friend, someone who I could count on no matter what (my other half, you know?) I don't think I have one any more. I've got 3 good friends, but none of them are as close as I've been used to. It's kinda strange.I've decided not to be slack these holidays. Might go woolhandling with Dad (farm work in Canterbury) or... *considering conspicuously absent options* hmmm. I will go woolhandling.
Dad, don't let me bunk out!!! No... me, don't bunk out!
I got invited to write an essay for the Rodney Walshe Ireland Essay Competition next year; shall work on it over the holidays. Ah, sweet something-to-do-with-my-time... (Can't think of the right word *whacks head*) It's appreciated, anyway. The top prize is is a trip to Dublin in July 2006 to stay with an Irish family for three to four weeks and attend summer school; 2nd and 3rd are Waterford crystal. Up-market stuff. ^ - ^ Probably the best bit is that the conflict in Ireland at the start of last century was an NCEA topic in History this year, so I have some knowledge to work from. Mr Wallace suggested the spread and influence of Irish culture worldwide (which connects on to background info about the Potato Famine, hehe) and I might do that. Maybe the Catholic/Protestant thing, though how I'd have no clue how to fit that into 1200 words; a girl from LPHS last year did Sinn Fein, so that's out. *thoughtful face*
Having a purpose is wonderful. ^ - ^
Xmas countdown: 20 days
