Almost the weekend! 17/05/12

Thursday afternoon, it's a bit grey outside..but that doesn't put the birds off! I walked home today from school and I thought about what it would be like to be a blind person (weird, I know) but it was actually pretty cool! If you just stand there for a bit with your eyes shut and focus your attention on your hearing it's amazing what you can hear! The birds are always coo-ing and tweeting (and they're actually quite loud!) but I guess growing up with the constant sound of them makes us forget and not take it in..It's a bit like that at my Nana and Grandads.. they have 14 clocks (grandfather/grandmother/wall/standing ones etc!) and they ALL chime. but never quite in sync with each other, they go on for about 5 minutes. and they chime for the time, so if it's 7pm they'll all chime 7 times, sounds like a nightmare or a form of torture really...but when I'm there for like 4 or 5 hours, I've missed all of them! I'm so used to hearing them that I don't even notice them anymore. I think it's quite sad really :( but going back to my point about being blind!! it's a really cool thing to do, but it's quite a challenge! have a go :)

I've got a driving lesson today, quite nervous tbh..I've got a new instructor (South African!) and I'm worried that what I already know I'll forget and I'll look like a complete idiot :L but oh well. I'm also worried my other old instructor will be on the roads and see's me...! We had a bit of a miscommunication...so I got a new instructor, but then we sorted it all out (I think...) so I will see how it goes with this new guy...

Oh! I titled this "almost the weekend" for a very good reason...Not only is it a fact (and a very nice thought) it's also one of my best friends birthday!! She'll be 18, and I'm showing her the ropes of the town Saturday night! She's having a birthday party on Saturday which is fancy dress - totally copied me - ahah, yeah -> thats me..and for those who don't know who I am, I'm Sailor Moon!! or at least..trying to be :D haha. anywho! This time I will be dressing up as a minion from Despicable Me. I know. I'm cool. haha, I'll post a picture on sunday :) I'm completely stumped as to what to get my friend for her birthday though. I have a jokey present (which I won't say until sunday! - just incase she's managed to work her way onto here...not that she knows I have a blog...maybe I should tell her...later...) But yeah! I wanted to get Premier Seating at the Norwich Odeon to watch Beauty and the Beast, but from the looks of the website it isn't on next week..but I'll double check :3

To wrap things up today, I'll make a last little note about my sister Annie. Somehow, (god knows how or why) she and her friend Laura managed to get a flight to Australia with an 18hour waiting change over time in Dubai....I thought 2 hours was bad when I went last year!! But they've made it to Perth safe and sound :) It is nice to have a quiet house! - kidding. - but yeah, gonna miss her! 'til we skype at least! I'm mega excited to be going to Oz though! I really should get that sorted soon aha :L

until tomorrow!
