Got my A level certificate presentation thing tonight. Should be fun, cos it's a chance to find out what people are doing now catch up with them etc. Now if they could just give out the certificates on the way out of the door, that would be great!

Last weekend it was my nana's family christmas get together. And it was great. Got picked up at about 11, and got there for about 12. I did feel sorry, for about 3 nanseconds, for my siblings though. Dad said he wanted to leave at 7:30 at the latest, meaning that they had to get up, whereas i could have a nice long lie in. Hey, what do you know, being 200 miles away does have some benefits!

Anyway, went out for a meal, and when we get there it turns out the pub can't find out order. Great. But, because my grandad is so organised when it comes to these things, he had a list with what everyone had ordered, cos the thing was all sent in back in October, and he apparently knows what the memory of some of the people is like.

It was a fantastic day. 16 of us all tolled, and we muct have been in the pub for about 3 hours or something. And my Judi's fanclub of cousins has expaned to include India. She's my 2nd youngest cousin, and currently doesn't know much English, cos she lives in Denmark. But oh, she is a sweetheart. Of course, we were calling Tony, her dad and my uncle, the Devil, which techincally made her the spawn of the devil, but she doesn't deserve that title as far as we're concerned.

After the meal and we had booked into the hotel, we went back to my nana's for a bit. And true to tradition, she had done a couple of quizzes. And for one of the rounds it was face recognition, and i actually got a fair few that dad didn't know. And we won! yayness. Of course, normally in these things mum would be with dad, and they would win. And before the quix this year, dad said "think of it this way, at least Ann can't win." Of course, after we won he said "that just proves it was me all along!" Ah, family reunions, gotta love them.

Came home on the Sunday, and was presented with the joys of Mycology reports!

Monday was our christmas party. And to be honest it was pretty poor. But somehow i was up doing karaoke with Amy a fair few times... and i wasn't drunk! What the hell is wrong with me?! And i even VOLUNTEERED to do a song! Ok, so we never got to sing it, but still, this is ME!! Never let me do that again!!!!!

Was meant to have a tkd grading on Tuesday. But when we got there, Neil, who was meant to be in a suit, wasn't. So we thought, ok, no problem, he'll have it in the car or something. Anyway, it gets to 7, which is when the grading was going to start, and Neil is STILL not in a suit, the table isn;t ready, and everyone is thinking "What's going on?!"

Anyway, Neil comes up, and says "Mr. Archer (the guy who does our gradings) can't make it, cos he's in A&E cos he's coughing up blood. So it's not like he's noot got a good excuse. So we did a practise grading. And it was fine. Except then Dan, one of my friends, comes up to me and says "you must be really annoyed." And i'm thinking "why? what have i done?" And he's talking about the work that i could have been doing instead of being there. So yeah, i was a little annoyed at that.

So it was postponed till Thursday. And we go, and He's not in a suit, and so there's bets started up. "Bet you he aint coming." "Bet it isnt on." etc. And hhe didn't, what with still being in hospital. So instead, Neil takes our grading. And he was TOUGH! I would have rather had Mr. Archer. See, with Neil taking the grading, he knew what standard we are, what we're capable of etc, and so when there's something that isn't as good as it has been in training, he got us doing it again.

(NOOOO!!!! I just did it again!!! This is taking the MICK!!!)

And then a load of people didn't know the Korean that he wanted them to know. And so quite a few of us who were going to get passes have now got low passes, which means that next grading, if we get a low pass, we fail that grading. So hopefully i got a pass, and not a low pass or fail.

Got the train home on Friday night, after handing in my mycology and parasitology write ups. Now only got 6 genetics to do... Anyway, trian comes into Birmingham on time, but then gets pregressively later the futher into the journey. We were meant to get into newcastle at 21:40, but didnt get there till 22:25. I was NOT amused!

Went out to see the fireworks at the quayside with mum yesterday evening. And they were amazing. Had a pretty good spot, cos the majority of them went off directly axcross the river from where we were. And they went off the Milennium and tyne bridge too. So yeah, it great.

Right, now that i've re-witten this for the secod time, i'm going to post it before going off to do some genetics.
