Well, it's aaaaaaages since I blogged.

On Saturday, we went for a retreat, but James & Zosh have already said lots about that, so I won't.

Mass on Sunday was good. But, I guess that I can't actually think of a BAD Mass. Music went well & everything.

It was v hard saying goodbye to Rachel...& to Georgia - but she'll be back in January, so it's not too bad...It's so hard saying goodbye to people...I'm dreading Zosia's last Mass...I'm going to cry...A lot!

Yesterday, I started my summer job - cleaning in Lafrowda/St Germans/Rowe House. It's not actually too bad - although I do have different coloured gloves, mops, buckets & cloths for different areas of the flats...It's quite funny really! We were also issued with a face mask - which the Chinese people I've been working with actually wear! - and goggles!!! It's so funny. Yesterday, 5 of us cleaned 2 kitchens. 1 of them was gross. What really got to me was scrubbing LUMPS of fat off the cooker hood. The other one wasn't too bad. Today the 5 of us were sent to do 3 kitchens, & to spring clean 2 bedrooms. While 4 of them did 2 kitchens between them, I spring cleaned both on-suite bedrooms, & we all cleaned the last kitchen.

Then, I went shopping with Zosh - it was great. We actually achieved our aim of buying shoes & shawls for the summer ball - it's so exciting! We also bought other stuff. I got a dress from H&M for the great price of £5!! It was a great day!

I'm v proud of my little - well, younger - brother. He's doing a diploma in Sports & Exercise Science at college. Last week, his tutor got his whole course group into a lecture room, & had a right go at them...saying how no-one had passed their assignment, and how they had all shown a complete lack of commitment and effort...By this point, my brother was getting fairly worried, as he knows my Mum & Grandma would not be happy if he didn't do well at college - he's not the most academic chap & hated school - & even though he's done really well so far, he was still scared...However, the tutor then went onto an "except"...No-one had passed the assignment, except for my brother(!!) who got a merit - so I'm well proud of him!

Everything's really quite exciting!
