Yesterday it was my birthday, and a jolly good one it was too.
My friends are all amazing, but to be honest, in previous years my birthdays have not been moments of glory for them. A lot of this was down to chance and circumstances, but even so it made this one all the better.
Glyn recognised this and about six months ago vowed to make my 16th birthday my best ever.
I went to school and to my first lesson (French). Sophie Bullock had written me a card. It was clear that she had put a lot of thought into my card, as it said something on it that I tend to say quite frequently.
2nd period Callum, Glyn and Pete told me that I would be given my present at break and that it was awesome. I eagerly waited for break, where we all went outside the drama block (Glyn, Pete, Callum, John F, John G, Sophie Bullock, Jade, Travis and I) and Glyn handed me the gifts from Pete, Callum, John F and himself. Needless to say they were indeed awesome. (Smash bros. clock!)
Period 3, John G made me a lovely card.
Period 5, I spent the first of my newly aquired (ex-textiles) free periods in the drama block. Harnan told me to light the Junior Arts Academy performance. Baring in mind it was my first time on the lighting desk, I thought I did ok.
I was supposed to go to Drama Academy after school, but the Junior performance didn’t finish until 5. However, I did have a short break, in which Sophie Bullock (accompanied by Smellerby) gave me a birthday cake, candles and all. It was amazing.
And then today when I got home I had emails saying I had 4 MySpace comments! This is quite impressive, seeing that it normally takes around 3 months for me to get that many. So I was very chuffed.
Also today, Soph and Suz made me a card, and John G a present.
This whole thing probably doesn’t sound very interesting, but overall this birthday has been the best I can remember. So, here’s a thanks to all my friends, especially Glyn who kept his promise. =P
