Wow, what a week..... Sorry I haven't posted much lately, but it's all been a bit hectic around here recently...
I think I'll just sort of sum up everything that's happened rather than do individual posts for them.
Sunday
Basically, my German exchange partner arrived for two weeks. She's really nice and polite and friendly, and she's the first exchange partner I've had who I haven't had to force to speak English (my year 8 French exchange's English was about as good as mine--i.e. Non-existent-- and my previous German exchange partner was lazy and took advantage of the fact that I speak German as a native speaker). The only problem is, everythings a bit awkward... What do I say to her?? Mum took over in her first day here and asked all the questions I was going to ask... I kinda feel sorry for het, since she has to listen to her (self-admitted) inconsequent ramblings. I always switch off at those.
Monday
Ok, Monday was kinda dull. There wasnt really an awful lot to do with my partner, since I had about 3 different essays (most of which overdue by some considerable amount of time) to complete or my head would have been separated from my body by my teachers...
Tuesday
Big day, Tuesday was. I got nominated for head boy. Which I'm really happy about and I really hope I get elected, but I need to ask myself, am I more likely to get elected if I stay in the closet and then come out as gay once I'm elected?? Hmm... Suggestions and opinions in the comments box please!!
Wednesday
I think I spent most of Wednesday coughing. I have a cold. :( I'm unimpressed. I did However, get round to coming up with manifesto ideas for my headboyship. Most of those came from a single lecture from one of my physics teachers about work ethics and teaching styles. In fact, so far my entire manifesto comes from said lecture. Oh well...
Thursday
I don't remember much about thursday. It seems quite insignificant. I suppose that's the consequence of not posting here mire regularly, you begin to think of days as insignificant...
Friday
Stayed at home all day due to illness. Feel like the plague and death all in one. I am officially no further with ANY schoolwork, having spent the entire day watching Doctor Who instead... :p

Wow congrats on Head boy nomination! :) As to the coming out thing - unfortunately it can take people a while to warm up to the whole gay thing, but it will get you talked about loads and that could be a help to your campaign. It's really up to what you want to do. Have fun with your exchange person - you're luck you can talk to yours, as my French girl and I were not so great at languages but had a great time anyway :) Hope you get better soon!!
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I know there's at least one openly gay kid running for head boy, but I don't know how well supported his campaign is.... Both of us are sort of popular, I just don't know if people knowing there are two popular gay people running and therefore vote fir neither of us...
ReplyDeleteYeah, but you will be the hot gossip, and he will be old news so it could definitely help your campaign if everyone's talking about you. It just depends on how many homophobes are in your school really. Good Luck with the campaign no matter how you choose to play it! :) x
