20 of January - Wednesday

The end of the Mocks had finally come but, more importantly, the beginning of Term 2 has arrived.

Ah, I can tell some of the U6 are feeling it already: the expectations of the second term, the tension of the IB's and last, but not least, the uncomfortable sensation in the gut that this is our last term in St. Paul's...

Luckily after our Mock exams were over we didn't need to go to lessons...that's a fate destined for us tomorrow and Friday...

First lunch? Mixed Grill.

3 of November - Tuesday

The school looks...desolate...in the 6th form. It reminds me greatly of Rancho a few weeks ago, when a huge percentage of the 6th Form Students spent the week away.
This time, though, it was a Biology trip that left yesterday afternoon (yes, a holiday) and will only be back Friday afternoon.

The thing is, at least 60% of the U6 does Biology so the 6th Form Centre looks even more empty than it did a few weeks ago. The result is that classes consist of an average of 4-7 pupils. Interestingly enough, our English A2 class only had 4 people; but it always has only 4 people!

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!
