English Essay

I thought i would tell you a bit about the language essay i wrote. Although the writing may not be good the theme behind it really made me think about people who go through this everyday.

Okay... so basically Erin is in the police station after she has escaped from her house. Her husband has been abusing her for months maybe years. It tells of her dreams for someone to love her and someone to look after her. She is put to a womans refuge and is allowed out on day release to the supermarket. However while there she thinks she sees her ex husband and then he comes from behind her and smashes a bottle over her head. We leave her in a coma not sure what will happen next...

Domestic Abuse can happen to anyone and thats what amazed me when i read about it on the internet to research for this essay...

Men against a woman, Woman against a man and even in same sex relationships ( even more so)

Its not something i have experienced and hope not to experience but is a problem which people need to talk about more and realise...

Its not only men who hit women...

Too many results...

I haven't blogged in rather a while...

Well got most of the NABs okay however some went not as well. Maths Prelim was absolutely nails and i only got 31% and a fecking letter to my parents. Was well not pleased. However French went slightly better however teacher has a knack of making a fool out of me and almost twice i was pushed to the brink of tears by her " what's the alphabet" routine. Iona keeps me sane though and makes me laugh a lot of the time while we laugh at almost everything that is said. Passed the history NAB by " the skin of my teeth" since when did teeth have skin grrr... So i made a face at her and she wasn't impressed. English is going okay.... Hamlet is funny. He makes me smile. Drama needs a whole paragraph just for itself...

House of Bernarda Alba is ace :D
Bernarda= Kirstie/Robert
Poncia= Heather
Angustius= Kate
Magdalena = Me
Martirio= Jean/ Debby
Amelia= Iona
Adela= Alison

And a one woman Grindall show :P

Man Alive.... Prelims and shizz

Shit Man! The words of the famous Jean Beattie which tottally apply to this situation most of Thurso High School is in.

Prelims... what are they for? To stress out pupils, make them come out in rashes, eat more food( not good when you are trying to cut out) and make you despair when you are trying to remember everything at about midnight :( Teachers are unbelievable and think that their subject is the most important and you should spend your whole weekend on that subject. I mean i don't have that many hours to spare to be perfectly honest!!

Thought i would blog about something a bit happier. Investigative drama plays actually went very well which i was suprised about. I managed to remember all my lines which was a bonus. Although i haven't mastered sitting in a skirt yet! The audience loved it... i think! Even though it lasted 2 and a half hours. It was based on the seven deadly sins and the play i wrote about was sloth. All the plays were of high quality and ranged from black comedy to physcological thriller. Shame about it is that we have to now write an essay :( Reading the House of Bernarda Alba which is pritty good to be honest and i got to read the part of the mad Granny who is locked in a cupboard, wants to get married and think a lamb is her child. So all is good on the drama front.

New history class now ! Which is okay i suppose apart from Sarah and I have to sit right at the front but i am sure the banter will be good with Jean and Hannah behind us. I need to actually start learning stuff now! 5th is shit don't do it man.

That is my wise opinion for the day xD
