Good news or bad news?

It's your pick: you can choose to listen to my moaning, talking about some bad news; you can listen to me gushing about how great my plans for this weekend are..... or you could, if you really wanted to, read both!

Bad news:

So, let's just get this one out of the way first of all.
The weather is still awful with it raining almost constantly today! Don't get me wrong, we NEED rain, but did it have to be the weekend that I'm camping outside in a tent? I think I must have done something to really piss off Mother Nature.
Also, people have suddenly grown incapable of replying to texts, which seriously pisses me off! How hard is it to type a few sentences? Any ways, I'm not going to tire you with my ranting on about this topic... not today any ways!

Good news:

Time for the good news.
This weekend, I'm going to be doing my practice walk for DofE on Dartmoor with only my friends and no supervision. It's going to be so much fun! It'll also be the first time that I sleep over on Dartmoor, and I'm sure sharing a 3-man tent with 4 other girls is going to be interesting. At least we'll give off so much heat that we'll keep warm during the night! And, being even more optimistic, I get to eat great food (pasties and sweets!), mess around with my friends and this will be even better if it does rain as I found out that singing in the rain really is as fun as the song! See? I'm making a bad situation into a semi-good one!
Even better, next week is Enrichment Week which literally just means that we get a whole week away from lessons and learning to do pretty much nothing but boring activities. This may sound like a bad thing but half the time the activities only take half of the designated time to do, so for the rest of the time we can just hang out with our friends. The day I'm most looking forward to is Tuesday as I'm going to be taking part in the HMS Rayleigh challenge which is organised by the army. This means that I'll be getting muddy, playing tug-of-war and playing hide and seek with 100 other teenagers in bushes. I'm so excited!


Hopefully you've read all of the post, and particularly not just the bad bit, as you'll be able to see how the good out ways the bad by a landslide.
Speak to you guys soon to tell you if I got lost in the middle of Dartmoor!
