Hi!
I got my GCSE results last thursday emailed to me. Note the poor grammar. I have my A* in English language now. I don't need to use proper grammar. I am very happy to have achieved 1A*, 7As and 2Bs.
Hope everyone receiving results did well.

Update
Hi!
So I haven't been on here for ages. Sorry!
School Is awesome and so is Sweden in general. I love it here!
I was at a friend's house this past weekend which was great.
Swedish lessons are fun. We have been doing runes and the general history of the language. It's really interesting.
My class is epically international.
There are people who have lived in Bosnia, Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Russia etc.
I have the same physics book as last year. It will be pretty boring i'm sure.

First day at school
Hi!
Today was my first day at gymnasiet. I will be doing the IB programme.
The school I go to is enormous. IB is not the only programme. There is also a humanities programme, a science programme, a children and free time programme and a social sciences programme. There are three year groups so you can see that it's a big school.
I was really nervous. I saw that some people already knew each other which made me even more nervous. My class is great though. The girls outnumber the boys. Our mentors seem really nice too. We got our timetables today. We start and finish at different times every day which is cool. I don't know what else to say at the moment so.....

Nervous excitement
Hi!
I start school tomorrow. Exciting! I've got all the stuff that I need, hopefully. 🎒
I'm happy because I've been looking forward to starting gymnasiet for ages.
I get to study Swedish for the first time since year 1, which should be interesting. 📝
Only one of my three fountain pens is working at the moment. Very annoying. ✒ I think most people use pencils anyway ✏
Wish me luck for tomorrow!

Home
Hi!
I got to Sweden yesterday :)
I have now sorted out my room at the house we're staying at for the next couple of months. I've found a few shelves and drawers in various places for my clothes and my suitcases are under the bed with various things still in them. My room is presentable now though but I'm really looking forward to December when we move into our apartment. It's going to great!
So, entertaining stuff that happened during the trip.
1. My bags were too heavy. One was 20kg and the other was 24.9kg. Luckily mum had lighter bags and could take some of my stuff. She did end up with a hand luggage bag of a similar mass to a bag of cement in her view but oh well.
2. The bus driver at Gatwick took everyone from the Guernsey flight we were on to the wrong place. We ended up in domestic arrivals instead of international arrivals. We had to take the bus back to the right place as that was where our bags were and we had to go through passport control. It's good arriving from Guernsey at Gatwick because you just hand in your boarding card and get to skip the queues.
What was the third entertaining thing? Oh yeah.....
3. I missed the train today! I booked a ticket on the machine for 12.11 to the place where my best friend lives. I then ran to the platform and when I got up there the train was just leaving. I was very annoyed. The one time the train leaves on time, I miss it. I then got another ticket for the next train which was at 13.11 so I had to wait around for ages. I did end up in the right place in the end but I barely recognised the area around the train station from when I lived there because there are so many new buildings. It was fun though.
GCSE results are out next Thursday. It will be interesting to see what I got. They don't matter for me but I still worked really hard so I want to know.

Of rafts and teddybears
It was the harbour carnival yesterday. A great event with lots of stalls, food and fun. The main attraction is normally the man powered flight. The goal of the man powered flight is to reach Herm. It's very entertaining because most of the entries simply jump and don't get any flight time in. There is also a tug of war at the mouth of the harbour with one team ending up in the water each time. There is a ladies dinghy race, which I was roped into along with some friends at the last minute last year as a scouts team. The raft races are also very entertaining. The emergency services have raft races. This year entertainment value was added by the fire truck soaking the participants. 'twas most amusing.
Sad goodbyes
Hi!
I'm leaving Guernsey in a couple of days to move back to Sweden. As I've said earlier on here it's been very chaotic with all the packing and I've been very tired. It's very surprising how much stuff two people have when it's all packed up in boxes. Also, I officially hate cubic foot. Working it out is way too confusing and weird.
Anyway, I wanted to write about saying goodbye. Today I said goodbye to a friend of mine who has been an awesome friend to me for the past couple of years. A few days ago I went to a BBQ at a friends house which turned out to be a leaving BBQ for me. My friends are awesome and I'm going to miss them so much. I didn't quite realise how much until they showed me a video they had made which almost made me cry. Luckily we have Facebook, Skype, Email etc. to stay in touch with.
I'm still really excited to go back to Sweden but I've realised that I'm really going to miss all my friends.

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacking
Hi!
I have almost finished packing.
Yesterday I had one bag weighing 17kg and one weighing 22kg. Today, despite putting some of the stuff in removal boxes, I have one bag weighing 21kg and one weighing 19kg. It doesn't quite add up because the total yesterday was 39kg and today it's 40kg.
If I had tried checking them as 17kg and 22 kg respectively I would have asked to repack at the airport. I don't understand the point of this because it is still the same total mass. Oh well, at least we're not flying with that lovely budget airline *******. Rant over.
I leave the island in a week and I'm very excited!

Two weeks
Hi!
It is two weeks (which autocorrect wanted to change to weekends before I changed the language) until I start my new school in Sweden. I am very excited! My new school is absolutely massive compared to my current school. I will no longer have a school uniform (worth going just for that) and I will be studying Swedish for the first time since I was eight (nervous about that part).
I'm obviously sad about leaving Guernsey (well my friends) although there are some aspects I won't miss (*cough* constant roadworks *cough*).
I just had an idea for a new post so check back soon and it should be up.
Bye banan!
P.S. it would be greatly appreciated if You could go and like my Facebook page :)
