Yes, We Can...

The title would of course be the oh-so-famous line that Barack Obama frequently said in his speech that won over America and has now lead him to Presidency. The reason I would be thinking of such a thing would be due to the English lesson I had today...

Now today I was feeling a little tired and quite drained from some of the things I've been dealing with lately and it is starting to take its toll... But a couple of things happened before, during and after this English lesson that brightened my day! 

Firstly, [Carl]'s younger brother ran past me before English waving and saying "Hi Jade". As insignificant this may seem; it made me so happy because I've been constantly worrying about what [Carl]'s family would be thinking of me because of the fact that I broke up with their son/brother... Though his younger brother is younger and just "goes with the flow", what he did still meant a lot to me.
Literally a minute after that; my "son" in One walked past and stated some random line from the production, and even that made me smile! It made me think of how, even if it's confusing as anything right now, I know there are going to be lots of laughter and memories that are going to be had in the making of it... Aaaand it also got me thinking about the future and me having my own children, but I shall not banter about that... At least not this evening! ;P

In English we were talking about phrases of words used in political speeches, or even just in general texts that sound or look good; yet if you read them carefully... Have no actual meaning or relevance to the topic being discussed... Such examples could be like "Those who are many, speak for the few" or the title itself "yes, we can" or even "one for all, and all for one"...
Anyways, so that lesson was mildly amusing due to the entire class firstly being confused and then completely badgering the stupidity of the English language... At one point our teacher (hence known as [Mr Noodleton] courtesy of [Tenutuo Tuo]) decided to pull an insanely creepy face which he managed to increaser in size and creepiness... This went on for at least two minutes... I was thoroughly freaked out by it, yet I also found it quite hilarious!

Throughout the rest of the day, random little things continued happening that would make my day just that little bit brighter :) And I was loving it!
My Chemistry teacher confused what a friend of mine said while taking the first ten minutes of Maths till our teacher arrived... Mafia Wars are now Barbecue Wars k? Then when our Maths teacher arrived she told us about how she was on the phone to the bank because when her husband is at home and not working he buys things... Today he decided to buy a caravan without discussing it with her first...
I'm not sure if I found these things so much funnier because I was slightly delirious due to tiredness... But I don't care because I was enjoying school for once in quite a long time...

On a random note... Today I found the most amazing gap year program!!!

It's one that involves going to Mozambique, Africa to go horse riding from two weeks up to two months! Of course that's not ALL you do... But... I mean just thinking about it right now makes me feel so unbelieavably excited and happy! :D

So the program is based on the coast in Vilankulo and offers the opprtunity to learn about equine management, define riding skills and just experience the culture of Africa!

I have already asked my best friend (she shall be known as [!pinnuck!]) if she could possibly go with me once we've both finished school! We've seen each other only twice to three times since I moved to a different state around 7 years ago... So to go to Mozambique together to ride the animal we both absolutely love to death and spend so much time together after so much lost time... Well, I don't think  could begin to say how amazing that would be! :) Monet would be a major major issue for us, but I really truly hope that we can do it!!! :D

I'd better stop now before I rant on for ages about how beautiful it would be to ride down the beach on an African horse that you've bonded with over the past however many days you've been there... Etcetera etcetera, I could go on for quite some time!
For those of you even mildly curious as to what I am talking about... I shall share a link with you and you can have a read of it in your spare time if you so wish :)

Well, there are multiple things I wish to blog about tonight... But I don't know where to begin, or what I want to blog about first... So I shall leave it here before I risk you getting exceedingly bored reading this! :P

~I find I sometimes feel like a staccato... Short and detached~
