The Royal Wedding ♔

So yesterday, as I'm sure you don't need telling, it was the royal wedding... and what a good day of Britishness it was :D Well I thought so anyway... Lots of fun and people enjoying themselves, giving the country something to :) about!

Phew!

Well, what a looong week! Ive been busy busy busy and its been tiring, but its been enjoyable also and now its the Easter holidays :D

So ongoing throughout the week have been biology and physics ISAs which require loads of work :/ but on the plus side there has been lots of music too :D On Tuesday the concert with a choir from the University of Southampton which was good fun... then on Wednsayday after 6 hours of biology at school I had to rush off for wind band rehearsal and concert which couldn't have gone any better! We performed The Incredibles theme and a James Bond medley, and we haven't played them better than that :D Every tiny detail was spot on, our conductor had a big grin particularly throughout the James Bond piece and the audience seemed to love it! On Thursday as the usual jazz band rehearsal, and today the wind band performed the same pieces in the final assembly :)

Mr Sayer and the zombies

Yesterday my biology teacher had to leave for a meeting half way through the lesson, and for experience in my future career, left me in charge :D This involved me sitting comfortably on the cushioned stool at the teachers desk, enjoying a lovely read of his big folder of answer papers (which btw he entrusted me with), whilst the my class got on with the question sheet :P

So I did my best to make sure they got on with the work - had a walk round to check how they were doing, nearly had to confiscate a phone, and fingers on lips almost had to be enforced at one point XD oh and when i rejected one boys request to go 15 mins early he swore so he got sent to stand outside in the corridor lol... but i definitely did not abuse my power by asking one person to stand up and do a monkey impression!.... so it was all good fun, and then I went over the answers, reminded them of the homework for next lesson (which even I still need to do), and kindly dismissed the class 5 minutes early :D

Charlie Sheen

Man of the moment, Charlie Sheen :D These are my favourite quotes of his:

"If you borrowed my brain for five seconds, you’d be like, "Dude! Can’t handle it, unplug this bastard!""

"I was banging seven-gram rocks, because that’s how I roll. I have one speed, I have one gear: Go."
"I'm on a drug, it’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available because if you try it you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body."
"I'm tired of pretending I'm not special. I'm tired of pretending I'm not a total bitchin' rock star from Mars."
"I'm different. I have a different constitution, I have a different brain, I have a different heart. I got tiger blood, man. Dying's for fools, dying's for amateurs."
"Trolls will suffer from Sheeness-envy."

"Can’t is the cancer of happening."
"Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words - imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists."

"I'm not bi-polar, I'm bi-winning."

Here is a lovely cartoon too...

In continuation...

Well its been pretty much the same as last weekend... Saturday was sunny and Sunday is rather cloudy, and talking of the climate, I'm feeling a bit under-the-weather as I was last week :/ However, a couple of continuations of previous posts... The jazz concert last week - there has been a review on the interweb :O the saxophones choreography was praised ^^ and our conductor was weirdly described as 'tireless' ...it was only one concert, not really tiring :S It also bigs up that Alice girl :P but talking of being tired...

Radio 1s longestest ever show managed to raise an astonishing £2.5million :O especially when the total was just £1.2million with 4 hours to go... but perhaps this was helped by Fearne Cotton promising to do her show in a swimming costume if they reached the £2m mark :S Anyway what I loved about the whole thing was all the randomness and special guests and general hilarity :D For example, Katy Perry turned up unplanned at the studio 1.30 on Friday morning to wish them well, and brought an array of bizarre gifts, including tampons... and one of my favourite parts was this - not only performed at 6 in the morning, but also after 47 hours of being on air! Why Dev (the one on air bass guitar) is wearing a hospital gown thing I don't know lol... In total I watched/listened for about 30 of the 52 hour marathon :P But did of course donate...

And finally... the latest YouTube "sensation" - the sensationally bad Rebecca Black. Well to be fair, its more the song than her... Remember my blog about walking through the park and communicating with squirrels?? Well whilst this was taking place, I was listening to the radio on my ipod, and at that very same time they were taking the mick out of her song 'Friday'... a few days later and after forgetting about it, it goes viral and now everyone in the world knows and there is no escape! D: There is so much wrong with it! The lyrics... the creepy guy who appears in the middle and is 30 years older than all the kids in the video... the whole production! :S hi-de-ous. I shall say no more...

Now for biology and psychology essays... Cheery-byes! Joe xxx
