Exams...Exams....Exams!!
Most of this week has been exams..
The Drama Exam - 23rd April
On Wednesday I had my long awaited Drama performance.
Basically we all sat in the create studio and watched each others plays.
Pretty nerve wracking as you just want to get it over and done with..
Anyway, the examiner was really nice and friendly which was good!
So the time came for us to get fired up and ready for our performance.
At that time we were on at 12pm. So we got all emotionally ready and relaxed and practiced the final time.
Our drama teacher Mr Williams came in and said "Your not performing yet" so we just like ARGH!!! and had to wait another hour to get on the stage...
Anyway, we set up during lunch and I managed to eat something...
Everything was in place and the rest of the candidates took their places in the audience and the examiner sat down .
She called us to her desk and we all had to say what we were wearing and how we had our hair and things... and she sent us off to perform..
We took our places and performed, the best we ever had..
Hardly any mistakes and we even got a few laughs! Apparently I was very convincing as a policewoman and everyone could hear me clearly!!
So i was so pleased about that! And had a great afternoon watching the other groups plays...
At the end of the day, we were so tired but had good spirits. Miss Lewis the old drama teacher had come back to record our plays, and she started doing this cool trick with a broom.
Basically she can put her body around a broom really quickly hehe and everyone was standing in a circle, laughing and cheering people on who were having a go.
Mr Williams said thanks to everyone, and specially mentioned our Twilight group ! :)
One day I will never forget!!....

Sometimes I cant do it anymore
Im soo tired today....too many late nights I think..
Im in a depressed mood...and realise I let everyone down which upsets me.
Im not good at most things, and Im too nice to say no....Im too kind obviously... :/
Im also considerably lonely....I miss it..the whole picture. Someone to hold and cuddle when Im feeling down at times like these.. depresses me tbh...
I just have to stop lying to myself, thinking I can do things but at the last minute I just chicken out. And I thought I was confident! :(
Obviously Im not... not at all...
I know what I am though right now, stressed.
Mainly because I have 3 GCSE exams coming up within the next few weeks..
- 23rd April - My Drama Perfomance.... Which Im really worried about, because people couldnt be bothered about it.
- 25th April - My Spanish GCSE speaking...oh dear me...I am worried about that...
- 6th May - French GCSE speaking....better get some revision done :/
Thats what I hate about this ...its all stress.
I think exams should be banned....and I think me and exams dont get on with each other as It makes me worry to high heaven and makes me all irritable and stressed. I dont wanna be like that...
Anything else to moan about??
No...and tbh I think I'll go and make myself a cup of hot chocolate and go to bed ...
Trouble is I wont sleep tonight....
aaaaaah..... i worry too much.

Florida Thoughts
Florida ThoughtsBlogging again... Only done 2 days of school this week, out of 4. Not feeling so good, and my mum has the flu...so I'm kinda looking after her too.. Been reading up about a summer Work Experience in Walt Disney World, Florida. I can go when Im 18, stay for 6 months on a Visa and get discounts on things like merchandise, tickets and hotels...Which is pretty good. If I go for it, I do have to pay for my visa, my accommodation, various taxes and flights... But I'll probably have a job by then, and I pay in dollars...so its cheaper.. The rules are kind of strict... hair tied back, neutral make up, smart uniform and a smile to be worn most of the day.... But i could handle that. I'd also have to stay in an apartment with someone else, but also I dont really mind... Its something Im considering, the rate of pay isnt that great...but the rewards are good... Anyway if I do take the chance, its not for another 2 years! So basically, thats whats on my mind today!.... Still feeling really rough though....:( Its the weekend so I can sleep in, thank the lord!! Anyway, Better go and take my poor little dog out for a walk... Rachel
Next easter we are hopefully staying here...in this villa. YAY!
Its in Indian ridge oaks in kissimmee in Orlando :) With its own heated pool (above)

Rachel's philosophical moment.
In a room....just sitting here...my eyes are going to automatically close due to tiredness..
I feel....descriptive.
Maybe I'll write a story.
Maybe Not..Maybe I'll just type what ever is coming into my head at this very moment.
The thing is, Im always always wondering, literally about everything.
The old fashioned, original questions like "Why are we here?" and "What is the meaning of life?".
But I'll never know, no-one will. Those questions are supposed to be answered only by God in my opinion...not by humans...
Wow. Im thinking heavy today.
The fact is, I needed something to blog about. I could tell you what Ive done so far today, but to be honest that isnt a lot so I didnt think I would bother..
Isnt it weird what some people will write on a blogging site on the internet, whilst sitting in a comfy study/bedroom sipping tea..
They probably will tell you how their day has been, or how their feelings are for some person in their life. Maybe , maybe not.
Or , they might say how they are truly feeling deep down, like how they are devestated about the death of a neighbours cat. I dont know.
What I write about on my blog seems always to be about my day, like I never write random blogs like this one.
I admit, this blog is really weird...I dont know why Im writing it!
Hm, I AM thinking heavy today...
I just looked at my friends blog, I think she started off a chain reaction or something..
Q. Why do all good things come to an end?
A . Because every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
This is quite true.
I hate it when things come to an end, like the Nightwish Concert, the Within Temptation concert, and amazing holidays.. but if they didnt end we would never appreciate the memorys afterwards. If they were on going we would never experience other great things...I dont know.
I think my brain is frazzled, it needs food.
Thats why I must leave this blogging place for something to eat...
Rachel..
PS. I know this was a really really strange blog, you (whoever you are) are probably thinking that im a nutcase that has nothing better to do than share her random thinking moments with the rest of the world.
And maybe, just maybe you are right.

Nightwish Live
Be still my son..your home
Well, its over...and by gum was it amazing!
Saturday 29th March 2008
Having already travelled all the way up to manchester to pick up little sis Nicky, we picked up Charley around 4:30pm and made our way to Birmingham.
Unfortunatley the weather wasnt very great as it was chucking it down with rain.. but that did not dampen our spirits for the night ahead!
After managing to get lost in the center of Birmingham and briefly seeing the obsure structure of the Bullring we managed to find the windy street that lead to the sight of hundreds of black hooded people lining outside the Carling Academy.
The Bullring
"CRAP" I thought....we'll never get to the barrier! :(
Anyway...Charley, Nicky and I ran to the end of the ever growing queue and stood behind some other Within Temptation/Nightwish lovers.
It was so cold, but we knew we would be inside the academy sooner or later!
The queue started to move at about 5:40 and once we were in there everyone seemed to be on the balcony!
I asked a strange guy with a mohican how to get "downstairs" and we ran to the ..well...nearly empty stage.
WOAH! We were like, 2 rows from the barrier, you could see it! AND We had a perfect view of Tuomas's keyboards.
After I had grabbed my enormous beaker of water, the lights dimmed and the crowd got excited.
PAIN played some very rocky songs, I managed to get loads of good pics :D And everyone including me was headbanging away to "Nailed to the ground" =P It was ace.
PAIN came and went, and we were all warmed up for the amazing Nightwish. Nicky's nerves were going crazy and some screams came when Marco (or someone) walked across the back of the stage, it was getting so close..
After a half an hour wait, the lights dimmed again and the intro started.
Purple light shone on the "nightwish" logo...
Nightwish came onto the stage, and their presence felt amazing! Anette wore a black kaftan-type thingy and Tuomas wore his top hat =P
Marco, Emppu and Jukka took their places to begin "Bye Bye Beautiful"
After an amazing start, Nightwish continued to impress me!
Songs like "The siren" , "Whoever brings the night" , "Wishmaster" and "Nemo" just blew me away!..
Nightwish's special Guest Troy Donockley played along with "last of the wilds" and "the islander" ...it was amazing!!
The Poet and the Pendulum live was mind blowing....!
And then marco said "now its time we played you a slow song..."
Slaying the dreamer!!
haha.
Anette really did lead the crowd, being quite flirty with Tuomas and winking as she was saying "The last song...;) " haha... great...
I was lucky enough to have a perfect view throughout the whole show..Ive never been that close at a gig before!
After the finale of "Wish I had an angel" and soon after the band had taken a group bow....my heart sank as I knew the night was over...
What an amazing night...I'll never forget it!
