   *snore*

Guess what? I'm back from my residential! I'm not sure wether I've mentioned this before, but I went on a three day trip to the middle of no-where from Monday to Wendnesday. It was very fun ^^

Contrary to many other *ahem* friends, I actually enjoyed myself a lot. I got to know so many new people, not to mention people I used to before so much better. Kinda sad 8Y (my current class) is splitting, because it has just reached a good level of stability. Everyone gets along well with everyone else (with a few minor exceptions) and people are generally happy.

Anyways, back to my trip (which was at this very pretty 300 year old mansion called Gaines). We did four different actibities while we were there: Be environmental (identyifying trees @_@. That part was rather boring, but then we got to use Pooters (I love that word!) to collect bugs. One of my friends got a huge canibalistic one that kept eating all the other bugs (save a spider, which also eat other bugs >.<), be constructive (made a board game. It took our group half an hour to do, so wre spent the rest of the time playing "guess the butt" with ym friends camera, rolling down the hill and gluing grass back onto the floor O.o), be challenged (Kayaking and an assault course. That was my favourite ^^) and be creative (Drama games involving lots of teamwork. I got baby carried through a hoop, and one girl dived through it. Our group won ^^ Yayness!).

In our free time, we had lots of stuff to do too.
The deathslide (a HUGE zipwire, about 100 feet off the ground >.<) was so not scary, and that hill it was on was really good for rolling down, despite the pain ^_~ Our dorm and the members were nice too: even though there were a couple of disputes during the early hours of tuesday morning, and an oh so lovely wake up call from the resident chorus of Cows. Even the thunder storm (with purple lightning ^^) was fun. However, I got extremely competitive and evil in the wide game (kinda like Tag rugby, or american football with strings O.o): I played by the rules and everything, it's just that loads of other people didn't, so that got messed up >.< That and someone (They know who they are, and so do I @_@) yanked my tracksuit belt out and didn't give it back...But All in all, a great time ^^

In other news, I nearly doubled my manga collection yeasterday morning. This is probably small compared to some people, but It's now totalling at 25. That doesn't include two which I borrowed from a friend though...Anyways, I wanted to know how many Manga you own, and where you keep them (I keep mine on some box shelf things, and they now take up two compartments O.o).

That, and which is your favourite flavour of Pocky?

Even though I live in England, I have eaten them before ^^:;
