Top stuff (:

Today has been somewhat of a momentous and extremely meaningful one.

First of all, it was the first school council meeting of the year. I've been applying for school council since year 7 (which is 7 years inclusive) and this is the first (and obviously last) year that I have been picked. Therefore it means a lot to me that FINALLY I get to be in the school council. I'm the secretary and by default have been volunteered for all 3 sub-comittees. I'm stupidly excited/happy/proud and genuinely buzzing about the thought of typing up today's minutes.

Secondly, BIG news. Basically, I've been on the ski trip every year since year 10 (three years running) and have had some of the best weeks of my life. I was going to put my name down for the 2010 one but for some bizarre reason I didn't. And then it panned out that I really enjoyed having money to spend on clothes (something that didn't happen when I was paying £800 on skiing every year) so I just decided not to go. But then it hit me that this is my last ever chance to go on the trip. But alas, the parentals said no. They did not want me spending a whole week (gasp) skiing when I could be revising for exams taking place nearly 5 months later. So then the persuasion started. I really did not expect success, but today I got home and the conversation went like this -

Jocy: Did you talk to dad about the ski trip?
Mum: Yes.
Jocy: Well?
Mum: It went very well. He thinks you should be able to go.

Which obviously, made my day (:
I just had this conversation with my dad -

Jocy: Thank you for letting me go on the ski trip.
Dad: It's only fair. Plus I felt bad that you weren't going
Jocy: Why?
Dad: Because we know how you love it so much and I thought it was very sad that it's your last chance to go and you weren't going to.

I'm feeling very content. But still missing my friends who are at uni a lot. I hope they're all doing okay. The chances of any of them reading this don't even exist. EXCEPT FOR BECKY. I love you Becky!
