Just two days to go until I pick my options and I have no idea. 
(Options, for anyone who doesn’t go to an English school or whatever, is basically the subjects you are going to sit GCSE’s for and then you drop the rest of the option subjects e.g. IT, PE, DT, Geog, History etc..)
So far I know I’m picking Geography and French (the downside of going to a language college is that you have to pick a language, so instead of having four options you actually only have three.)
I wish I could just shut my eyes and pick whatever subject my finger lands on… ha! If only it were that simple I’m so jealous of the people who knew which subjects they were opting for from day one.
DO I…
Take PE?
or History?
maybe IT?
perhaps Drama?
If drama only took up 1 block then I’d most likely go for that. See if I go for Drama, that’s 2 of the four blocks taken up.
Help! I know for a fact I’ll regret taking one of my subjects next year… If only I could do triple English! 
Hopefully I’ll have decided by Thursday night – parents evening.
Liam’s Blackberry arrived today. He’s gloated about it all night now, knowing that it’s the phone I’ve wanted for a long time.
Stuck up Ba-
Anyway, on a more cheerful note, hope you are all well. On my way to Ikea now to cheer me up! wahay! 
Questions:
- Hardest decision you’ve had to make this year?
- What do you do to cheer yourself up?

When you said “What are you having for tea ?” I thought it was an English thing for a snake before dinner but after lunch, cultural differences are amazing-even small ones…like standing in Tonga during a meal…even if you eat a banana is rude because it represents you don’t care enough about the person who made the food to take time to enjoy it.
Picking classes is always hard for me-even though I’m in High school. I always try to take a few hard classes and challenge myself and take one easy, fun class…maybe thats PE/GYM for you ( Personally, gym is crap for me.)
1. Hardest decision you’ve had to make this year? I have an easy life….but right now I have to make a decision whether to switch my gym class which could result in my good friend being switched out of it b/c of too many people. What do I choice ? My own happiness or my friendship with her ?
I also have to decide whether to go to my friend Val’s 16th birthday party on saturday and sleepover and miss church or miss it, or go for only a few hours, or get picked up the next morning…
2. What do you do to cheer yourself up?
I tend to wallow…after wallowing I read and complain to my friends about whatever is bothering me and go on Yahoo Answer’s (BEST site ever).

I’m from England too. Although, your ‘options’ sound different to what mine was at school. I’m not at school anymore. The options I took were Art, Drama … I can’t actually remember any others lol I think one was Geography. :S I basically took the lessons that I enjoyed the most.
I haven’t had to make any hard decisions this year, my life’s pretty simple
To cheer myself up I listen to music (happy music lol), reading calms me down alot, chat to people online

Heyy, I LOVE THIS LAYOUT (:
Sorry I’ve not been around for ages ): I’ve been working on a personal site, (well, more a portfolio thing for college…).
I hated choosing my subjects, lol… it took me forever, I ended up one of the last to hand in my form thingy, and I couldn’t get in one of my classes because I was too late and it was full ): sucksss.
The hardest decision for me this year? hmm.. Can’t think of a specific one but probably stuff to do with CJ

To cheer myself up… umm I’m not sure… sometimes it’s just browsing the internet, trying to take my mind off whatever’s bothering me, sometimes it’s music or a book… but a lot of the time I actually sleep
Cause it’s the easiest way for me to relax myself, I usually wake up happier and not stressed out ^-^
How’ve you been??? Haven’t spoken for ages )’:
