18 of December - Friday

In the interests of starting my holiday quickly I'll condense the last 3 days into a few words.

You know how last weeks are...uneventful. Many have already travelled and those that are still here are only getting lessons from teachers that are teaching half-hearted lessons because they are aware of the people travelling. Pfft....I think that people who travel early should be ready to face the consequences of having to catch up everything and keep up with their workload and not consequently punish those that are still here by making them have only partial lessons...

Happy Holidays

15 of December - Tuesday

Lucas wasn't the only one to get into an Ivy League University, though he was the only one to be shaved; for now, anyway...

Julia and Giovanna were accepted into Brown University! Congratulations to them!

14 of December - Monday

Lucas has been admitted into Columbia University in New York!
WE HAVE AN IVY LEAGUE PAULEAN IN THE U6!

Of course, Lucas wasn't gonna get off lightly. Break time was filled with the sound of electrical shavers are we shaved all of Lucas's hair off.

Photos are below but if thats' not enough for you, here's the video footage of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL9apVw4_c0

11 of December - Friday

Inter-house games for the U6 were going to take place. They were posponed until the first week after the Chirstmas break because:

• The weather was terrible. If it rained we would only have volleyball and no basketball or futsal.
• The L6 were not there.
• There were very few U6 there. There would only be 2 people in the Stuart team!

10 of December - Thursday

Uneventful day.

9 of December - Wednesday

It seems that without the 6th Form Centre U6 and L6 life tends to go very very dull. I know that for the next and and last week of this term we'll have the 6th Form Centre back, but most of the exams are in the Theatre! Why not just have all of them there and let us keep the centre?

8 of December - Tuesday

Other than the fact that this is the 80th post on my U6 blog, nothing interesting has happened today.

7 of December - Monday

With the L6 having to take many of their exams in the 6th Form Centre, we're not allowed to use it for the time being. "The time being", of course, spanning all week long.

Anyway, at least it's more quiet now: the L6 only come to school to sit their tests.

4 of November - Friday

Unfortunately for the Lowers, they've got their Ty-Out exams next week.

The school usually gives them a good study leave, where they don't need to come to school and stay at home studying, right?

Well, apart from only having to come to school to do an exam, the school offered them a generous study leave of.......half a day! They only missed a single period of science and a double of P.E.! I heard many Lowers saying that this "study leave" is about as pointless as having an air conditioning system in a greenhouse.

3 of December - Wednesday

Well, there's nothing to report today. Sorry if not every day has something exciting going on... :D

2 of December - Wednesday

With only a few weeks left until the Christmas break, the U6 decided to hold a secret friend game.

During lunch-time and a bit afterwards, during the Tutorial period, we drew names out of a bag.

In case you don't know; the rules are as follows: Draw a name out of a hat. That's your secret friend. Someone else got your name out of the same hat. Compile a wish-list. Each person gets what the other person wants (within a price range of course). At the day of the event, we exchange presents, basically.

Pretty good. It's gonna ge during the last tutorial of the term.

1 of December - Tuesday

Ah, French Day!
Croissants at break time and lunch time, French food for lunch, some teachers and some students wearing French berets.
There was also a way, at the front of the school, to get a subscription to a French magazine and I also heard about a reading going on after school in the Chapel.

Not too sure about the date though. Does anybody know why December 1st was chosen for French Day?
