Wow! So much has happened these past few weeks. With mock exams, nearing coursework deadlines and excessive amounts of revision have made it difficult for me to get on line and actually doing anything with my website. I’ve left my pocket of cyberspace stagnating again, so now is the time for me to give a good stir. I expect the situation was the same for many of you, so I doubt you noticed the lack of movement or change on Hamdev.
Where to start? The mocks sounded painful but weren’t really. I felt I worked in the exams, they weren’t exactly easy but not frustratingly hard – I’m not sure exactly what that means for our real exams next year. I’m quite pleased with the results that will be sent to the colleges and honestly, if I can at least match my mock results in June, I will be over the moon.
Charity Week, well that went well – seems like a million years ago doesn’t it? Well, we raised some huge amount of money, which we will discuss exactly how to spend later this week (I think). Some of the events turned out really good I was quite impressed. I think it was good to try out the way that each year group had their own charity day – but I’m not sure if it made much different to normal. I mean this year we didn’t increase the total raised significantly and I’m not sure that the increase we did have could be attributed to the entire week. But we still raised a great amount and everyone worked really well and hard.
What else? Hmm, not sure really. I could mention a few peoples’ 16th birthday party’s, like Tom H’s and Amy Liv’s – both were great fun.
Something that I received today, I was quite surprised and, I guess, the only thing I really would have rather not received in the post – my National Insurance Numbercard. I would tell you how ridiculous my number is, but I’m not sure if its wise to hand out NI numbers on the internet. Receiving the NI card was like a reminder of my life to come – some huge expanse of emptiness that I’ve yet to fill – with work and then another expanse of claiming a pension. It’s odd. I’m sure most of you have had these NI Cards, but honestly their design is just awful. Urgh, light blue and red it looks like something out from the turn of the 1900s, their design has barely changed since their implementation all that time ago. In addition, their accompanying letter is abysmal – its not even a letter.
Anyway, that’s all for actual news. I suppose now I should talk about this new look. I’m quite pleased with it actually. What do you think. If I can persuade myself, after coursework, this holiday I’ll spend my time converting the other websites into a similar style.
Anyway. Enjoy.
, I almost missed the bus in the morning because it was too early and this evening, a Club Bus Tuesday, there was no club bus. Susannah gave me a lift home (Thanks so much), but was it unreasonable to expect a bus today, especially when the Year 7s had a Football Trials thing they needed to get home from?
