I can't believe my half term is nearly over already :(. I don't want to go back to school and work with annoying people on important coursework just because I can't seem to find the words to say "I don't want to work with you, sorry."

So what have I done with my half term?

Well we went to Hamlet last week, which was amazing. In some ways I can't believe it was a week ago already but at the same time that kind of makes sense. Mum is still in her post-Hamlet blues and David Tennent announcing his leaving Doctor Who... hasn't helped much. She's sad about her dad and worried about next year and just... well.. I don't know how to help.

On Thursday we finally did the Bath trip we were on about. I know what you're thinking. Not Thursday? Not the day when everywhere was flooded and the day that would be the WORST day inexperienced travellers could choose to go somewhere? That Thursday. The sign that says go here for help is a lier, by the way. Nobody knows what is going on when you need them to. You just have to figure it out on your own. We started at 9am i Paignton and finally (3 train rides and a coach trip later) got to Bath at 2 pm. I won't even get into going back. I was over an hour late. I was in trouble. But, despite everything and period related difficulties, Beany had a good birthday so I guess it was all worth doing. I really enjoyed myself too, actually. And I didn't worry much considering I'm..you know, me. I only really freaked when we were in Newton Abbot and no one seemd to be able to tell us which train we were meant to be on.

I just can't believe it's the end of half term already and I've done practically no coursework. I had such a plan for everything I was going to get done this week but I could never work out where to start there's so much of it.... There is still loads of it but and yet here I sit typing to you. I nearly have my media finished. I'm going to focus on one thing at a time I think.

I'm nearly 16.

Nine more days.

Eeeep.
