MyWeek: Enterprise Week 2014

Because most of year 12 had spent £300 to be cold and wet and coerced to do do a run every morning before breakfast in BuDe, the 5 or 6 sixth formers who were not doing the latter residential or work experience were expected to volunteer. However, each day consisted of a struggle to find the careers advisor to tell us what we need to do and when that failed we just had to desperately search for somewhere to 'help'. But the whole school is off timetable during enterprise week thus here is an account of the abhorrence of the struggle:

Tuesday:

Okay one will admit that this was a pretty trepidatious day and due to the abhorrent flood of year 10s and 11s in the concourse because of the career shops I did resort to hiding in the library toilets, applying vaseline because the Aloe Vera not only sooths burns (physically and metaphorically), but also soothes the soul. Furthermore, I listened to Donatella bcus Queen GaGa always ensures prevention of panic attacks <3 

However, my lovely (recently retired) RE teacher from year nine returned for the week!! Which was Lovely because I missed her and heard worrying rumours :{. But she was happy to be 'dragged out of [her] retirement' :3

After break I helped the NCS people set up the room and just sat there BRE awkwardly in the corner for an hour observing them. 

After drinking some free tea at lunch (not green :{}), I sat in on the 'projects abroad' workshop. I listened last year, but wasn't convinced because they were suggesting taking a gap year before uni. However this year I think I'd really like to do it: there's a diverse range of courses such as animal conservation, language courses, teaching, law and stuff. It would be amazing because it can be utilised for university dissertations. Also I'd love to go to Africa and if I went to Morocco or Senegal I could get experience teaching foreign languages & teach the people english :)):) or music maybe but I might stop piano after grade 5 :((( hopefully I'll get to grade 7 on clarinet though? However it's like 1000 pounds and that doesn't include plane tickets :(. Also it would be hard to peruse veganism in Africa. The course duration ranges from 2-4weeks to a year, but If I was going to spend that much money I'd want to stay there longer (than 2 weeks) but without dying (a year). Thus, the optimal equilibrium between peak and life would have to be found but only through trial and imp. The use of scientific jargon could imply that I'm missing maths :(. Wish I'd taken a level maths and history :((

Finally I went to a fashion/ general inspiration talk by Marsha who is a really kind fashion designer - a few weeks ago she came to my house to make my mum something and she got me vegan food stuff and she didn't even know me <3 and she's actually the most inspirational human: she told us to make a dream board of all our future goals and aspirations:3

Wednesday:

In the morning i helped The qt year 10s in the library though without actually contributing to their task much. 

After break the Head of languages was like 'are you raf???' And i was like 'yeah:):)' and then I découvered they'd been looking for me!! Initially, I had prejudicial perceptions, however realised actually she is v nice :) but had to apologise to Deserces for being late :(. It might be useful if I was actually informed on what to do though???? Miss Schaefer y u no tell me anything. OMG so my phone knows how to auto correct 'Schaefer' but is adamant that 'raf' is 'RAF' (woe calm doen dere) or 'tag'. We've just had to turn up bcus of our own morale and find year 7s to assist. Pretty certain we could've easily just committed truancy and gone unnoticed lulZ

After lunch we took a nostalgic visit to the DT department. I've never felt such sentimentality and repugnance simultaneously... I just loathe NSB for forcing me to do GCSEs I had to struggle so hard to get a C - imagine if I could have done music instead of DT and Spanish instead of triple science :( I might have got two extra As instead of the Cs :( 

Anyway, these loathsome feelings of abhorrence and deteste were negated when we got to help my lovely form tutor from years 9-11 Miss Carolan! Wow I miss her so much :( she was so nice and scouse but lives where my dad was born and could always count on her hair changing colour continually :3 - throughout the years she's gone from ginger to red to purple to grey to brown and now back to blonde! And after gathering the class around the table she said the loveliest thing in the world:

"raf my new form is amazing: they're always happy/ exited to see me everyday; it's like having an entire form of you!!!"

I couldn't do anything but just laugh in awe :3 don't know if I even said thanq :( I miss her so much my new form tutor isn't very nice but his hair also interests me: since movember 2013 I think he's only shaved his beard once!

Anyway the year sevens were such qts! There was a qt one called raf hahahahah I died just a little because I felt as though I'd been replaced :}}}{#<<<g( There was this one qt who reminded me of miss Carolan because he had 'strawberry blond' hair. But we all know that strawberries are red and blonde is yellow and red + yellow = orange and orange is ginger :3. Miss was like 'talk to them they're nice!!' (This is what I hear every day when I need something from an external in my class). A fellow year 12 told name to "stop scaring" them, but when I did speak I think I may have been intimidating them slightly :(. IRONY bcus I think I was actually more scared of them then they were of me? Anyway I resorted to asking them the generic questions of how they were finding NSB, fav subjects/ teacher etc which I really enjoyed! I don't know why it's so nice and satisfying learning these things about pipple. With Sam, I des covered his favourite subject was history and he had mr Marshall!! I loved him but I would have been so frightened if I'd have had him in year seven due to his initial scary no-nonsense introductory manner which he sustained until we'd done our coursework/ finished the interwar years. Perhaps now he lives free and expresses his true funny personality whilst teaching to all and FEELS NOT trying to CONCEAL to suffice the strict, scary facade. Well now I know: HE'S LET IT GO

Thursday:

Okay so I arrivé at school at 8:45 to find I was the only one in my year present. Then, because of the invariable ambiguity of the week, I asked madame roberts when my presence would be required and she gave my that bafta award winning darts smile and said 'periods 4,5,6&7'. After thanking her I went to the library and thought Y I ARRIVE ALMOST THREE HOURS EARLY BECAUSE UNINFORMED \|/. Then, to further exacerbate the abhorrence, I logged on to my account on the library computer and took a nostalgic look through the j drive - the old system of resources before the dreaded online 'VLE' (visual leaning something idk) was introduced this year. TO MY ABHORRENCE I DESCOVERED THE WHOLE OF BRIGHTON ROCK WAS AVAILABLE AS AN AUDIOBOOK. WHY DID NO ONE MENTION THIS. THIS WOULD HAVE SAVED MY LIFEE. Subsequently, I took out a book from the library 'the go between' because although it didn't look too interesting I came across some french dialogue on multiple pages :-). Then I went into the concourse to see the english teachers see me from the balcony probably presuming I was still reading Brighton Rock. But then a nice year 13 came and then so did two other nice year 13s who I sat with at lunch too :-). 

THE YEAR SEVENS WERE THE QTEST THINGS EVERR!!!!<3 especially when they call me 'miss' :3. furthermore, they were miss carolan's form! :3. There was this QT called Cameron who was really nice because we went into the sixth form pod to watch all the year 7s perform 'Aladin and the magic lamp' in French/ Spanish and it was so hot I literally wanted to shave my hair off. But he gave me his script which he'd turned into a fan  💃 and he was so nice :3 though I couldn't help feeling more like them than a teacher; I'll always be a year seven at the core 🙏

Ultimately, I really enjoyed this (three day) week: If I went to bude I'd have had to enslave six abhorrent days of premature awakenings. Also now I think I'd love to be a teacher, even though I struggled because so je suis so ludicrously awkward and found it hard to divide time between problematic peeps. BUT THE FAME 💃

However, I really missed my friends so much :((. THATS RIGHT S/O TO ALL TWO OF YOU GUISE :3 hope the residential wasn't too condescending for you 

Also I have one regret: that I didn't take a selfie with the Tebuttron :(:;((
