The End Of School - The Start Of The Holidays (27/07/2007 00:46)

School ended last Friday, and the summer holidays are finally here. Will I miss school? Doubt it!

The last week of school was pretty good; an activities week. On Monday, I went to a Jaguar Factory.

It started at 7.15 am meaning me getting up at 6.30 am

. I was a bit tired that afternoon.

Well on the way there i just played fifa on my PSP as there was nothing else to do. The fun started when we saw the green wheely bin with the jaguar badge on it.

When we arrived we were shown in to a room and told about the history and modernisation of Jaguar. Then it all kicked off. We put on white jackets and headphones and had a tour of the factory and saw the different parts of the Jaguar being construsted into one. We weren't allowed to take our phones in so i couldn't take any pictures. After that tour we went back in to the main room and were split in to two groups. My group were split in to two teams and we took on a challenge. We were told to make trolleys perfectly with the tubes and components. Numbers flashed on the screen and we made the corresponding trolleys. We devised a plan to make a certain number and when it flashed up we had it ready already. We only had one minute to make each trolley so it was a good plan. Our team won and got nothing (except pride

). Then we took on another challenge to control mini robots to pick up boxes with a remote control. Then we used a computer to do it and it was much quicker. And that was the end of that day.

On Tuesday, I went to the BBC TV Centre. The ride there was much more enjoyably as 8 of us had nintendo ds' with us and had a huge game of mario kart (i won of course

). 10-7-3-3-0-0-0-0. First to 10. When we arrived we were given name tags and were shown inside and stood next to a fake tardis. We were split into 3 groups and my group were given the tour first. We were shown round a couple of studios and saw the filming of 'After you've gone'. Then we went to a 'games' room and took part in a fake weakest link. I was one of the contestants and i took an early lead (I lost in the end but noone cares about that). Then we went to a shop to buy things. Unfortunately the thing i wanted wasn't there so we left then. The way back was alright but my ds had low battery so i couldnt play for long.

Wednesday was the day of my visit to the London Science Museum. The coach ride was good as we played Mario Kart again (and i won again). When we arrived, we set off in a small group and got exploring. After about 5 minutes, we found a flight simulator so we went on that. We set off exploring again and found a plastic room. That was fun. We saw a spy test thing that looked exciting so we went to register again and we went back there. That was a huge disappointment. We thought it would be crawling through lasers and figuring out codes. Well it wasn't. We went through a quick training routine and went to a fake HQ. It was ruined by a bunch of female chavs coming on to me and me scaring them off by lying of my age. We got away from that quick and bought some food. I bought a jelly and hot chocolate (the perfect mix). We spent the rest of the day losing the rest of our groups. We met up at the end and went home.

And on the final day, we went to.....Thorpe Park. It started with a kid telling us what to do, us refusing and him storming off.
Well here is a list of the rides I went on, how long I queued for and how long I waited per second.

Name Of Ride	Queue Time	Waited per second
Water Slide	40 Minutes	8 Minutes
Flying Fish	30 Minutes	1 Minute
Tidal Wave x2	5 Minutes (Fast-pass)	30 Seconds
Vortex	1 hour	1Minute 20 seconds

So as you might have realised the length of queues was a bit dissapointing but overall it was fun. As we met in the Dome to go to the coach, two girls decided to go on another ride so i drank a drink for 50p (made of coke, tango, water, powerade and coffee). We got on the coach and waited more and finally, we set off home.

On Friday, I was back at school for a half day. We met for registration with 11 people out of 30 there. We went of to maths and saw simpsons for a whole hour. Second was German where we sat around, talked and played hangman. Finally, i had technology where i won a challenge. Then we went back to register. After that i was free to go. There is no more school for 6 weeks !!!

Well with my holiday about a month away and im going to Portugal which will be fun.

Be tuned for more from me...
