Attention! : JAM is now a 6th former! :D

So without further ado, I start my 6th form life with hopes and aspirations as big as the 5kg chocolate bar.
I love 6th form!!
It's so much fun! Loads of people from our year have left to go off to other schools, but everyone that's left is really nice to one another! Not to mention the teachers are really nice to 6th formers too~!
And, on top of it all, the lessons are interesting
I'm so glad I chose to drop Physics!! I now have beaucoup de frees, which I can use to do homework, study, and, if all else is done and dusted, play me some pokemon!! 8D

So, we all survived our first week of 6th form! So much craziness has happened it'd take ages to type up!! xD.
Our school is right next to a garage (avec shop), and a Somerfields. Therefore, at lunch we tend to go out and buy drinks and snacks. Upside is, omg! so yummy! Downside is however, we're all probably gonna be fat by the time we leave 6th form! 8D
Particularly as one girl brought in a 5kg bar of Cadbury's on Friday. Yes that's right. 5kg of chocolate.
The only way to break it up was to smash it on the coffee table in the "noisy" common room. There was chocolate. Everywhere.
Each chunk was about the size of your palm!! Everyone in 6th form was walking round nibbling on coal-sized chunks of chocolate! 8D omnomnom!

Also, as I have quite a lot of frees, I find myself talking to people I wouldn't normally have talked to last year, which is really nice!! Also, there are 3 new girls, rather than 1! 8D One of them, who we shall call... hrrm "A-n-y" (basing this off her msn name xD ), is very very nice (and gives amazing hugs!), and the two of us got talking after I saw The GazettE on her iPod! :3
Turns out, she's also an anime fan and we share many interests!! <3
All in all, 6th form really is great so far!! It's sooooo much better than high school, and deffinately better than GCSE years! I can't even stress enough how much better it is! I mean, it's so great to come home light and happy in the knowledge that you've done a good days work, and everything's great, rather than the depressing-ness of last year!!

After a week of 6th form, it's now the weekend! (or the end of it, at least!).
I haven't really done much at all this weekend! ><
But~ on Friday, me, mum, the coconut (mum's bf) and I went to blockbuster, and as I walked in, one of the pre-owned DVDs for sale caught my eye! It was;
"Paprika".
I recognised it from an old old front cover of NEO (way before I started reading neo mag). 
And... omg. It is. AMAZING.
Just... simply amazing. After the first minute or so, I was thinking "I already love this film."
The story is amazing, the music is lovely, and don't even get me started on the animation!!! It's stunning, beautiful and over all GORGEOUS!!
Satoshi Kon (the Director) is now officially one of my idols, and I'm hoping to buy another of his films, "Tokyo Godfathers" later on in winter!
I just love it sooo much~!!
Also, I am now watching Sleepy Hollow, as it's on Film4!! (though technically, I'm watching it on my computer rather than my 'tv', because my 'tv' is being a complete poo head.). I really love this film so much <3.>
So without further ado, here's a quick list of some of my utmost favourite films ever.;
[in no particular order]
Paprika,
Spirited Away,
Anastasia,
Death Note & Death Note 2,
Brothers Grimm,
Sleepy Hollow,
Nightmare Before Christmas,
The Corpse Bride,
Edward Scissor Hands,
The Prestige.
You've probably realised that they're all either animations, Tim Burton movies, or something to do with the supernatural or illusion. :3
Also, (as I'm feeling totally fresh and inspired right now) here are my idols:
- Hayao Miyazaki
- Satoshi Kon
- Takeshi Obata
- Nana Li
- Tim Burton
<3>

'Tis all for now, tomorrow I have to go up on stage (><);; at our prize day!! (Everyone now in lower 6th has to go up, in congratulations for our GCSEs). Wish me luck~~!
Bye for now~

6th form language:
The Noisy common room - The common room meant for 'socialising'; though it's often the quiter one when the year 13s/upper 6th are about!!
The Quiet common room - The common room meant for study; but sometimes it's too noisy to hear yourself when the year 13s are about! ><
Year 12/lower 6th - my year
Year 13/upper 6th - The year above, and last year of education before University in the UK
EPICK - 'good', 'awesome', 'amazing', 'great' etc.
AHOY! - A customary greeting
The Garage - The petrol station directly across the road from our school. It stocks snacks, sweets and fizzy drinks! :B
