Eton, Prom, Doctor Who and Progression Day

Hello!

So, it's been a while and by my standards it was a very busy time. Went to Eton, came back, went back and then came back again! It was an amazing week; it was refreshing to be around a new group of people and it inspired people to try new things. I dived off a diving board, climbed some high stuff and didn't make a fool of myself talking in front of normal people! Result! Much more than a line on my C.V., a truly great week. And meet some really good people; all of which is a very successful week in my book!

A great week which was, rather sureally, punctuated by Prom. Every reservation I had about it being on a boat was wrong; the views of London made up for my lack of motivation to dance and everyone had a good time! I think it proved we were a good year, and one which we'll all miss when we go off to sunnier climbs.

Or in my case, right back again. And, after the amazing team building activities at Eton, 'Progression Day' was a poor show and weak attempt to convey what A-Levels will be like. Someone, explain how 'throwing a egg' to each other is to do with independent learning?! Very dull, and doesn't fill me with confidence about next year.

DOCTOR WHO!! It was great; every loose end which Russell T Davies had made, he sewed up. Every character got an ending fit for their character, the Doctor was brooding, funny and sad (both of them!) and I cannot wait until Torchwood comes back (although I hope Mickey's not involved, that ending suggested he may get a job) and for the Christmas Special. Bring on the Cybermen!! Whether you want it or not...

GAY UPDATE: Nuke was good; Cyndi Lauper did her job, the startlingly short army thing was pointless but this week could show the beginning of a more... positive storyline for them. If they don't have sex soon though, many online fans will switch off. Loving Ollian; for the only couple who have not had their own episode in a while, they are still the most credible. Bring on big fight!! HOLLYOAKS is my soap of the moment though; despite myself, these recent McPreist scenes have been very moving. Craig will have have to have had a personality transplant to be this romantic. But maybe, instead of the sap I've been accustomed to, he'll be refreshing. At least, that's the hope.

So, next time I'll review the Princess Fred's production of 'High School Musical', will give you my shortlisted version of the Wider Reading List and a short family visit. Until then...

xXx
