The fair day

Ok, there is a thing we do in my town every year which is called "Bo'ness Childrens Fair Festival".
This year it will be on Friday 24th June.

It is a day when we can all dress more nice than usual and everyone in town (and even people from other towns and countries) gather around town, but no one on the roads.
At the town hall, a young girl who will leave to go to high school after the summer holidays will be crowned as "queen" of our town.
All the kids in the town dress up like princes and princesses on this day.
On the morning of the fair day, people go around and judge the "arches" which are basically garden decorations that have been built in the month.

From 10AM, the kids who have waited at all the schools in town, walk in a parade to the town hall where everyone waits. at 11AM the queen is crowned and kids from other schools dance for everyone (they are "presentees"), and at 12PM, another parade begins which goes all over town.
The queen comes around in a carriage while everyone else walks. You can choose whether or not you want to walk with the parade to the Douglas Park, but it is usually left for the kids. Families, friends, even strangers stand at the side and watch the parade. And there are floats and some are cool.
The rest of the day is for everyone to party and just have so much fun. Parents usually leave kids with grandparents and go to the pub later at night, or just get drunk at a barbiecue. Teenagers usually go to the "shows" (it's like umm.. a small theme park which moves town a lot?) or get drunk in the street like a usual Friday night in Bo'ness. But my friends always buy a keg on the fair day.

It is a really fun and happy day. :)

If there is anything else you'd like to know, just comment below, or even ask me. I'm sorry i couldn't find more pictures, especially of the crowd (even the video doesn't show much of the crowd, those are just two parts of town), but here is a video from the news in 2008 about it, lol:

School stuff? xD

I have exams soon. But out of one whole month, only 2. I've already done my music exam, and my artwork is only sent to the markers (so no exam for my level in art). I have failed my english class, because according to my teacher, i didn't hand in my essays. I did, though! Now, all i have to do is maths and biology exams.

Study leave starts on Thursday this week. On Wednesday, there will be no point in any of us going to school because we have been told that we will be thrown out of school at 10:30AM because it is last day, basically. And on our last day in senior years, we go crazy in the school. Like, trash the halls, paint the teachers' cars, etc. And like last year, almost everyone dress as superheros and do this:
Finally the perfect time to show this pic

After the month of exams, if we are going to continue with high school, we go back to school for 3 weeks to get used to our new timetables. Usually in these 3 weeks before the sumer holidays, we just sit in the classes and watch movies, there's not very much point in going to school at this time.

Soon, for the younger students, there will be reward trips. If they have behaved all year, they are rewarded with a trip to a theme park in England or choices such as paintball/ice skating or even just decorating cakes in school.

Winter holiday

BLAH BLAH BLAH

I don't even know how to start. So maybe ...hello. But actually, I guess that nobody reads it. Or almost nobody. So today I decided to write like in a diary because I don't know who I can talk to. I also don't know if somebody can understand me. But I'm sure of one thing - I AM NOT EMO, so don't worry. :)

 It's 1:30am and I should be sleeping because I start work in 7 hours. But I can't...my life is like a big fail. My boyfriend, or ex-boyfriend now, broke up with me a month ago, I still miss him even if he's a dick. My mum is always angry at me and she says I'm nobody. I argued with my dad over a month ago and he stopped giving me money. I've become a bad student with bad grades who also skives school. My friends are fucking ignorant. Of course not everybody but most of them. I have great friends but they live in other countries...for example Belgium, it's like 1300km away from Poland. Oh,and my mates are planning holidays and I will probably stay home. COOL. I'm doing so well.

I wish I could leave this country, these people. I want to start a new life. That's what I feel now. Or maybe I just need to meet an amazing person who will change my life? Dunno.:) You can think everything's okay because I always smile or laugh but I don't want to think about my problems like non stop. I want to forget even for a while.

So yeah...that's all I wanted to say. Alex.

A message to everyone...

That is all.
