19 of October - Monday

The week long Half-term break is over. Everyone has to get back into the groove again. Was a week too long? Or was it too short?

At any rate, the 6th form was not any less enthusiastic. I'm not sure who the good samaritan is, but a PS3 was brought in and people took turns to play FIFA 2010 on it. Since, if I'm not mistaken, it was a demo game, there were only Chelsea and Barcelona available to play with. Or, at least, those were the only teams that people were playing with.

Well...that's pretty much it. No breaks after the holidays, of course, and the teachers went straight into what mattered.

9 of October - Friday

I think it's pretty interesting that the last post before the Half-Term also happens to be the 40th post on this blog. It's pretty weird to think I've actually been managing to write one post per day!

Oh, right: why do Sodexho insist on giving us FISH and YOGHURT on the last day before a holiday?! Do they want us to leave with a bad impression? I don't look forward to my last lunch at the school...

Anyway...

It finally happened! The Athletics Day! Due to the dull weather today and for the past couple of days there was only a 40% chance of it happening, but that 40% pulled through, causing only minimal problems with the events.

Now, being a Windor, I didn't spend too much time (read: at all) in the areas of the different houses. But I do know that even the younger kids got into the whole thing: wearing blue wigs, waving blue pom-poms. The F5, L6 and U6 limited ourselves to blue facepaint: either a blue spot or blue lines on our cheeks.

Slipping in the races didn't bother people much and at least three people slipping and falling straight on the floor at the end of the race just added to the comedy of the whole thing!

The results were as follows:

3rd - Tudor

2nd - Windsor

1st - Stuart

Now the whole school's got an entire week off! Happy holidays to everyone and take your well-earned rest!
