So. I have started counting the days i have left. Only 39 days! I don't feel like I am ready yet to go home, there's so much more here to discover! But first I am going to sit the CAE exam next weekend in Nelson. I AM SO SCARED! Speaking is first on Saturday and on the following Wednesday it's going to be Reading, Writing, Listening and so on. The formal is in three weeks and I am superexcited! My dress has arrived, I ordered it off the internet. It's exactly the way i wanted it! I couldn't believe my eyes when we discovered that my host mum had a whole jewelry set in the right colours. It's beautiful :-)
Last weekend I was in Motueka with the Brass Band. I LOVE Brass Band. It's not just about playing music and taking part in a competition but also mixing young with older people. It's been so much fun. I also did two solos and got 2nd and 3rd. Haha Nick who accompanied me on the piano dropped all his sheets on the floor so I literally played SOLO. In just about four weeks time I'll be going down to Timaru where the Brass Band Nationals are going to be. I'm looking forward to that except that I am leaving the day after I come home. I'm leaving at about 6.30 in the morning so I am hoping that i won't fully realize that I am actually leaving...
Today I went to practice cricket in the indoor sports centre. My German friend Marie and i got freaked out by the electronic bowling machine though. So I've got a big painful bruise on my leg now. Friday was NCEA day which means you can go to school if you choose to. So I chose to go. No I could have lived without one more day at school. But I wanted to achieve my English Creative Writing and resit Biology and Chemistry which i both failed at my first attempt. So that was good. Good night everyone. Love xo
