Charity.

I decided that next summer, (Summer 2014), I'm going to go to Thailand for a month with a friend and look after elephants. We're then going to spend a week in Japan, and are going to come home and then go to Uni.

That's the plan!  Now I just need to come up with an amazing plan to fundraise because £4000 is quite a lot of money for the two of us to raise in less than a year, so that's happening right now.

In other charitable news...

I'm the 'charity rep' for my house at school. If you don't get houses its like Gryffindor or Slytherin in Harry Potter, only less competitive (not counting sports day, of course...). Anyway, as charity rep I have to organise fundraising events. Duh. This year's charity is #cutcakenotwrists which is a far cry from the usual hospital/cancer sort of charities we do. So that I'm happy about.

What is our first event? Music Bingo. Yep. That means I sent the entire evening downloading 45 different songs. And they're not normal songs either, oh no. They're the teachers' favourite songs, which means that I have been downloading everything from Mozart to Bastille to The Beatles. Literally.

I had to learn what a 'slow movement' in a symphony is. And I had to figure out which one that was in several hour-long pieces of music. I also listened to five different 'funny' physics parodies because Mr. Physics is too serious enough to give us his favourite songs (he has no sense of humour but his own terrible jokes).

So its safe to say my ears are currently high risk for bleeding.
