Week 5: Glindbourne is driving students mental :-)


Holy shit (sorry for swearing), this is my fifth week in Lewes o_o. I’ve been here for over a month! It sounds so long, but I enjoy so much which makes the weeks pass so fast. Week five, my fifth week, and the last week of the Reeds’ students. I wonder if they enjoy/enjoyed that much as I do/did!? This week I started off with a Greek test which was quite easy. I was glad I didn’t have to do it the week before because I was quite busy with tests the week before. In small break I showed the strawberries, when Liz wasn't there yet, and one of her friends got quite mental and sprinted away to get Liz ;)… They loved them, so I was happy as well ;). After many hugs and quite a few strawberries with chocolate, I needed to go to my next lesson so was forced to leave the girls L. I told Louis I was going to stay with him the last one and a half week, and that I would move to him next Thursday. In big break I needed to take some money out of my account, because I spent too much money at the pier.            

Tuesday, at night there was going to be a football match between Chelsea and Manchester City. Jake supports Chelsea and was looking forward to this match. That morning, Mrs Power had to work, so we had to go to school by bus which means we had to wake up even earlier. The bus leaves at about eight o’clock, so at a quarter to seven, all of us were in our suits, with tired faces ;). Glindbourne was coming up, next Sunday, and the students, most of all students, were practicing and having rehearsals. So during the breaks, most of year 10 and year 11 students were practicing. In the afternoon, I went with some guys to café Nero, and took the bus back home. At night, we watched the football match. Chelsea lost, so Jake was in a bad mood :p…

Wednesday, we played my last hockey match in Lewes. School day was normal. Mr Blewitt came to tell me that I would be staying with the Whytes another one and a half week. I had already asked Louis, so he or his mother must have asked Mr Blewitt. We heard that the team we were going to play with wasn’t able to play the match… However, we really wanted to play hockey, so Sam, one of the students of year thirteen, who organizes all the hockey matches, asked year thirteen, twelve and good hockey players from years below to join us and play a match. We split up the players who had come and created two hockey teams. The match was amazing. It was great weather, maybe a bit too hot, but I enjoyed the running. We were picked up by Mrs Power, got something to drink in a little shop, and went ‘sweaty’ home... All of us wanted to have a shower as fast as possible ;). We were quite tired so went to bed quite early. Next day, I was going to move to the Whyte’s again.

Thursday, the last time I had to swap families. The students of my year went off to an university, to get some information about different universities and studies. Sanny, Manon, and I stayed at school all day. Tests, blog, and other schoolwork were the most important things we did that day :p! However, year thirteen was still there, and while the year twelve students were gone, we changed the whole common room. It was quite funny and especially the reactions of the students when they arrived… Ms Rosin liked it, so we were allowed to leave the room this way.

Friday was already the last day of week five. I watched some of the students practicing for Glindbourne. It looked already quite cool. However, I didn’t expect such a great show as I was going to see next Sunday! Most of them were starting to feel worried, because they only had a few days left. I was starting to worry a bit because I only had one weekend and one school week left. Because Louis and lots of other friends would be practicing for Glindbourne the next day, I made plans with Willem to go out next day. Louis wasn’t worried, because he told me he almost didn’t have to do anything at Glindbourne. Friday was fine, a bit boring without all my lunch friends (who were practicing for Glindbourne) but a great day to finish some more schoolwork.
