My god I still feel pretty rough

So, what's happened?

Friday: Leavers' Concert, and Leavers' Ball.

There was a rehearsal for the concert at 5pm... I went in at 3.30 (changed into my DJ ready for the Ball) so I could do a bit to the computing display on Skinners Day. Anyway, at 4.55 I finished what I was doing and went to get my violin and go to the rehearsal. At 4.56 I realised I'd left my keys in my suit jacket, which was on the back of my chair at home. At 5.02 I returned to the lockers with a pair of bolt cutters. At 5.04 I gave up (the bolt cutters wouldn't fit in between the padlock and the locker door), and at 5.05 I phoned my mum, who I had convinced by 5.07 to bring my keys down to school. At 5.10 I noticed that there was a long queue from the lights outside the school off towards tonbridge. At 5.14 I reached the end of the queue and waited till 5.23 for my mum. I thanked her, retrieved my violin from my locker at 5.27 and arrived at the rehearsal at 5.29. Which was fun. Anyway, the concert went very well... after that we were taken off to the Leavers' Ball. Less said about this the better... I can't remember a lot, and from what people say, that's a good thing. There was no allocated girl, I was thirsty, I drank two bottles of cheap nasty wine in about 30 minutes and seeing as I hadn't eaten in about a day, it's not much surprise they didn't stay down...

Saturday: My god. Woke up, no headache but... Anyway, we had a chapel service at 10.15 (I nearly didn't last, a couple of times I almost ran outside)... followed by prize giving (again, nearly didn't make it... but I got a book and a lot of claps, yay). The rest of the day was pretty uneventful - said goodbye to some people I knew and will probably never see again, said a (hopefully) temporary goodbye to some very good friends. Went home, spent a couple more hours recovering before going into Sevenoaks. Almost everyone was there... a lot of fun.

And today I went to the Odeon at Tunbridge Wells and watched Shrek. It's pretty diabolical. I laughed three or four times... I dunno, maybe it was just all over my head...
