You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm tellin you why: Santa Claus is coming to town.

Okay, so it's slightly early for christmas tunes, but it's the only thing that'll get me through these crappy exams.

Anyway, as I previously mentioned, the public speaking competition was on monday night. I wasn't particularly nervous about it, but I'm still glad it's over and done with.

I must admit, Belfast High kicked ass. Obviously the adjudicators thought so too, since 3 out of 4 of us got placed. I came third, Nicola came 2nd and Caters won.

It brought a wee tear to my eye when she won. Probably because she's my best friend, and also that she's representing bhs-I SO hope that she wins the next one.

Just to let you know, I still have not yet revised. And, for once, it's not as a result of mere procrastination. I simply have had too many homeworks. Last night I had to prioritize between french orals and spanish orals. I mean, that's how bad it's getting. We shouldn't have so many that we have to just postpone one until the next night.

And, tonight, I've found myself in that same situation. Therefore, I think that the amount of revision I'll be doing will be very little. However, there's always hope. Night-before-revision worked relatively well for some of the GCSEs, so fingers crossed nothing will change. I like to believe that King Lear's comment:" Nothing will come of nothing" is a load of old nonsense.

Today was a good-ish day. I was slightly tired, however, and had a splitting headache, but once I took a tablet, the grass got greener. The thing I like about Wednesdays is having my ONLY relaxation period in the week.

Everyone went to the library today though, to do some work, leaving Caters and I
at the table. So, of course, we decided to play " The shutty-eye game", which, let's face it, never gets boring.

After that, I had my french period with Adeline. I'm feeling a lot more confident about this year's oral now I think, because I'm more used to speaking french regularly and having to improvise.

I think I'd better go, otherwise I'll do no work. That's not the real reason though. It's actually because I'm getting rather hungry and I think I'm having something nice for dinner.

Hasta la vista, baby.
