The end is near

My last week here at Reeds has officially started. Yes I knew this exchange would go by fast, but this was just insane. Why can't school always go so quickly? This sure has been a great experience! But yes, I guess you would have get that by now since I have been saying that pretty much in every blog update.

Sunday, the school had a carol service in the Guildford Cathedral, and I found it suprising that people were literally singing. Come on, a school full of teenagers, where at least half of the sixth form was suffering from a severe hangover from their wild saturday nights, singing songs about bethlehem just doesn't feel right. Anyway, I thought this was again very nice to experience, because in my school people would likely succeed in that hangover part, but I don't think they will even make it through to the singing bit. No, definitely not. So yes that is why I was probably one of the only people actually enjoying myself there. I guess some people may have found it really boring, but kids bringing in playcards was a bit over the top, even for the British.

Today we had house hockey, and I never had thought this would be so competitive. Some girls just turned into complete animals, with their stick almost being a weapon. Great, I guess this big blue weird looking egg on my thumb would be just another souvenir of my time here at Reeds. Sadly though, my house chapel was defeated; badly defeated. Yes this can be pretty embarresing when apparently lots of people have nothing better to do than watch you at your little house competition. Well I guess we tried.. right?

I've also just returned from a very nice dinner, with my normal hockey team, the seconds. The dinner was organised because the hockey season is over for this year at Reeds, but I especially enjoyed the team dinner since I am leaving already this friday. And also, it was nice to finally not get potatoes with your food for a change. Honestly, I think I have eaten more potatoes during my stay here, than I have ever in my whole life.

Well with only less than 3 days left, the clock is really thicking now. I am also looking forward to go back to Holland, but I think I will really miss Reeds as well!
