Greenbelt Preparations

Wow. It's been a while since I've blogged, ay? Well, if you read my last blog you'll know that there's a little thing called Greenbelt coming up soon, which is a Christian music festival. Because I'm officially too young to help out, I sit behind a counter in reception all day while my mum and the other workers... work. Now I know that sounds kinda boring, but it's actually really fun. I wake up at about 11, get to reception at 12 and then I set up my little area. I have my laptop out to chill on Facebook, my food and cranberry juice for snacking on during the day, my DS for some Pokemon, and... my calculator for maths homework. As fun as chillin in reception and listening to music is, I still have to do my maths homework online >:( But it's all good coz the rest is fun (:

So. Greenbelt. It's actually being set up on Cheltenham Racecourse. Yeah, like a horse racecourse. There is SO much space and big, white marquees are being set up everywhere. There's also a tent called 'Big Top' which looks like a giant, red circus tent, but I'm not actually sure what it's going to be used for. Today's also going to be a super busy day, because it's the first official day of work; so we're gonna have tonnes of people showing up for their first day at work, and tonnes of deliveries. I also got this super-stylish fluro orange high-vis vest (It's not actually stylish :P).

My mum and I are staying in cute little rooms called 'bunkabins', which I think is supposed to be 'bunk cabins', but whatever :P As for the weather, well, it's England. It's cold, rainy and overcast all the time. But I got a cool new jumper because of it. Oh, speaking of which, I got that jumper in Bristol.

My mum and I had a free weekend like everyone else, and we stayed in a place called Bristol, which I've been to once before, and is still my favourite place in England. We went to @Bristol, which is like Questacon in Australia, but heaps cooler. We spent a little time there doing various brain and body test type things, and we also went to a planetarium there which I really liked. We then spent the rest of the day shopping and going to the movies. While we were shopping, I got a shirt, a jumper, a DS case, and a DS game. We also went out and saw two movies. The first one was Toy Story 3, which I heard was good. And it was. We also saw Step Up 3D, which was AMAZING!!! I loved it so much; and if you haven't seen it, go see it. In 3D.

The next day we went to the ss Great Britain, which is an old ship that's on display and it's really cool. There were different levels to the ship, like you can go below deck, and there are so many rooms to explore and learn about. I can't really say much about the ship coz it's the kind of thing you have to see :P But I'll check if I can get some pictures up on my next blog.

Right, so this is a really long blog, and I have a tonne of maths homework to catch up on :P I'll post some more cool stuff on another day. So I'll catchas all later (:

Oh and I also got 4 pairs of socks (:
