I Am Not Sad Today.

Today is Tuesday the 5th of January and I should be sad. You know why? Because today is the first day of school after a lovely long Christmas holiday where I have indulged in far too many mince pies, torn a ligament in my ankle, played some ridiculous boardgames, not learnt my play-lines or done any work, seen some beautiful Portsmouth-dwelling people, woken up after midday every day and generally had a fantastic time always...

On balance, however, I have decided that I am not going to be sad that all this has come to an end because I have 3 things to look forward to. I hasten to add that as soon as these things are over (Saturday) I will desperately be searching for new things to gear my excitement towards, so if you're planning any exciting events, feel free to invite me :P

These three things are:
1. Tomorrow, I am seeing my best friend Rae because she is home from South Africa. I have had a big Rachael-shaped hole inside me in my epic lacking of her from my life, and it will be lovely to get that hole filled again.
2. On Friday, I am seeing my friend Tess who hasn't been in South Africa, but who I haven't seen since August because we are hopelessly disorganised. Tess is the only friend I have that understands all my jokes, and I therefore cannot wait to have her back in my life.
3. I AM GETTING A GUITAR ON SATURDAY. Need I say more?

I had a surprisingly good day today. We have to do a Russian play for drama. I was mistaken to imagining this meant we had to do Russian accents, and I therefore embarrassed myself with my Indian Russian accent...I did, however, manage to go through a whole hour without my favourite music teacher (!) telling me I was so stupid I should die. I then watched an episode of 'The Big Performance' on BBC. I am in awe of Gareth Malone. He takes these ridiculously shy kids (about 80% of them can barely sing in tune or prefer to speak the words to rhythm) and turns them into pint-size popstars (well, sort-of). My brother wishes he was Gareth Malone, and I have to say I have nothing against this proposal.

I have just though of a fourth thing to look forward to.......drum roolllll.............................
GLEE IS BACK NEXT MONDAY.
For the uninitiated, you have something lacking in your empty empty lives. For the haters, MUSICALS ARE COOL. Glee is a beautiful show about very attractive people that dance and sing in a school showchoir. Sue Sylvester makes the show. But gay Kurt does to. I can't decide who I like more.

Leading on from this, I am obsessed with musicals - uncool, nerdy, geeky as it may be my favourite christmas present was tickets to see 'Blood Brothers'. Heeeyyyy, this can be my 5th thing to look forward to!

I am not sad today, I refuse to be.

God bless :)
Love, Anna
