Tl Newbury Tot Hill

Right...23 Days to go!! Not long now since i started counting at 385!!!
Only 10 actual days of my "real" work left to do then i'm out of here! I can't actually belive i'm going it somehow does not seem real!
I think the nerves are setting in and the waves of happiness and fear come and Go!!!!!
I never though for a minute i would leave the comfort of a perfectly good job, home and my family and friends to travel on my own ...

... school, and then going to tour round afterwards. Not 100% sure yet but will definately be doing Kerela and then North India.

Thanks to Brother Hasslehoff (Jennys brother) I have this funky blog thing so you all can sleep well at night knowing that my organs havent been sold on the black market for 100 rupees a piece.

Enjoy :)

... out really.
- People not paying up, like for Monte Carlo Casino, laundry, beer hall etc.
- Having just minutes to finish meals and just when you were getting into the swing of things, being told you had 5 minutes left to get ready to get on the bus.

Slips of the tongue
- Laszlo´s broken English - "Make the Fun" and "I want to be in the girls"
- References to the "Sixteenth Chapel", "Mother Teresa´s ****" and the "Guggenhymen" Museum

... Mark was a bit grumpy the next day. After a frenzy of locating and printing off flight and hotel accommodation confirmations, Mat tore up a bunch of paper, pretended it was all our travel flight and accommodation confirmations and then blamed it on Sammy the dog, Mark almost strangled the dog. Lucky for Sammy, the joke was revealed prior to strangulation.

Next stop - airport for flight to Barcelona!

... all around the globe. Everything seemed to flow perfectly throughout the evening. Dinner, dancing and drinks were all amazing. There was even a tour of the castle's exclusive King Tut collection, which was very fascinating. After dinner an extensive selection of cheese & crackers were served instead of the traditional English ...

... huge a castle, right next to the town centre. I didn't actually go in the castle, but I went on a sightseeing tour around Windsor and Eton so I got to see some fantastic views of the actual structure. I also got to see Eton College, where Prince William and Harry studied, which I thought was cool. I didn't realize how important Eton College was/is. A lot of important people went to school there! I also got to see the town of ...

... to beat the anticipated tourist hordes. When I get there, it seems the other tourists had the same bright idea, as the admission lines were totally rammed! I was lucky enough to have the foresight to buy my admission ticket as a package deal with my train ticket (about 12 quid), so I bypassed the lines in my own lane like a VIP and started the tour before everyone else. The star attraction was Queen Mary's doll house, which was small scale replica of a wealthy ...

... town and toured the Cathedral, the main cathedral of the Anglican and Episcopalian church. On Saturday, we started with a tour through the houses of Parliament, starting in the Queen's room, the house of Lords (where there is a very ornate Victorian era throne for the Queen to Initiate the Parliament sessions), and then through a lobby into the house of commons. Sunday was mostly spent in visiting the Natural History Museum and shopping. Monday, we got Anna's film ...

... bang theory. This is a fun group. The students in this group have very interesting personalities. This is the group with bird boy in it. Although, he seems to be over his fascination with bird sounds these days. He actually worked really well today. Some of the group started sending spit wads, but they were properly trounced early on. Finally: Year 10 History. This is a rather frustrating experience because I had a great video to show the group and the AV equipment simply ...

... was being disruptive. Next thing I know I am receiving another naughty young lad that I know from other classes. We'll call him "D". "D" said that his teacher sent him down to me. That is fairly common practice here - where one teacher may send a naughty student to another's room in order to isolate them a bit. Although, usually you send the younger kids to older kids' rooms so that they are not with others their age that they can play off of or up to. So ...
