Glad that's not me. I remember back in Year 7 when the last day of school was on my birthday...

Tomorrow is my friend's birthday too, but it's ok because we'll probably do very little, and we're planning a common room party for her. Jelly and cake...

I've been on holiday for nearly three weeks already!!!
But that means that we in Scotland have to go back to school earlier than the English and Welsh students. It's all fair!!!!

Results day! Nearly 3 weeks to go...!

I'm actually thinking that I'll probably be more worried about these results than next year's, because they're partly what determine whether you get an offer from certain Unis or not...

Wobby - I had been pushing that thought out of my mind! I think I'm going to cry... My own fault though, I knew I should've revised properly.
*Thinks happy thoughts.*
Yep we're in the same year, but I think it's different round the country. My friend just told me we get 7 weeks rather than the 5 I imagined

I remember the last day of my junior school. Several of my friends were crying and I could not understand it at all. I could not wait to get out of the place. We had our autograph boks in class and were asking our friends to sign them and draw pictures and so on. The class teacher had been asked to sign some too as she wandered around the class. She picked up my book and started to write but I told her that I did not want her to sign mine! So now I have a book with one line of her drippy verse in and no signature. That was the first time that I had ever stood up to an adult and I felt that I had come of age! I was so pleased with myself.
Good luck to all of you who are leaving school and moving on. Your schools are almost certainly far nicer places than mine was.

I really really didn't want to leave primary school. High school was very different in every way - the people all seemed "well 'ard". After a few months though, I started to feel like I'd grown out of primary school, and everyone from my year went their own seperate ways...

It's only a few days later than most people. I'm not sure when I'm back.
I'm a year 9 in secondary school.

Technically I finished on Thursday, but the last week was work experience and the week before that I was on a trip, so it feels like I've already been off for two weeks!!
And you think it's bad having the last day of school on your birthday, my cousin nearly always has to go back in september on her birthday!!

Had exams on my birthday this year, just year 10 mocks though. Will probably have them on my birthday next year as well

My Birthday's June 15, so I'm likely to have an GCSE Exam on my 16th...
No mock exams on my 15th though, becuase It's a Sunday Lol
Just realized that things will be very different when I come back in Sept.
- The school Hall will become a new Music and Drama performance area. Well, hopefuly. I don't know if the builders can do it in 6 weeks...
- I will be in a new tutor group
- New animals for the school farm, and more wildlife near the new school pond.
- School radio station

What about everyone else?

When I go back very little will have changed. No more maths, the new sports centre will still be a million years away from being finished... I'll be in the same tutor, but looking at uni options, and will have more of an idea where I'm aiming for uni.
Umm... hopefully six weeks will magically transform me into a beautiful and talented genius, with straight As, and a way with interviews... but I guess that might be a bit too much to ask?
