I'm not sure if this is your address. I vaguely remember something about Bananas and toast.

I finally got my university admission thing. My student number is A1. Finally a number I can remember! Doesn't get easier than that! I don't even remember my phone numbers. I'm numerically challenged- I can't count beyond 10.

I just finished reading "Guards! Guards!". That's all I do these days. Eat, sleep, read, uneventful existence. Last Friday was my last day in school. Sniffles and sobs and all that sort of thing. No more salary. Everybody gave me books for my farewell! My AL English teacher, I love her to bits, gave me 10 books! That was the best gift I've ever gotten. At least I can keep myself occupied until I start university. I also got another 5000 in book vouchers! Life doesn't get any better.

I'm going to miss my students. They got a replacement for me, to teach both Literature and History. She is quite stern and unfortunately can't speak English very fluently. She has a degree in English as a second language, which has been mistaken for a degree in Literature. It's a disaster waiting to happen. These kids can be absolute terrors.

I must tell you this! One of the girls has a sister who is a prefect. The prefects conduct random raids to confiscate Cd's, DVDs, phones, i-pods, nail polish and other banned items. Which of course they bring to school on a daily basis. Once, during my class, the prefects stormed in and raided the place, even body searched the girls and then huffed off quite irritated because they didn't find anything. They were very thorough and I was absolutely curious as to where they had hidden the stuff. I asked them, not really expecting a reply, and they swore me to secrecy. The girl who has a prefect as a sister, took all the illegal items, hid them in her after school clothes bag and kept the bag- in the prefects' room! That is just genius. Sheer poetry!

We're planning to go to London this August. From the 18th-31stish! I'm so excited! I finally get to see the Globe theatre! They are performing Midsummer night's dream, Timon of Athens and Merry Wives of Windsor. I want to go for all three. It's only 5 if you stand in the yard as a groundling penny pincher. Which is quite reasonable even by local standards. I'll get to see the Cathedral and Madame Tussuad'sand all of that! I was really too small to appreciate anything the last time I went. I just remember being fascinated by the beef eaters and trying to share my ice cream with one of them. We're still waiting for our visas to be approved. It is such a tedious process. There is so much red tape it is enough to circumnavigate the globe!

I'm going to see what's for dinner.

Ta!
