It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

We had the first real snowfall of the season today, but unfortunately we still had to go to school. Snow at school is rubbish - it's all gritty and a bit brown and patchy and half of it has melted by break time. A few of my friends went to the park during lunch to experience proper snow, and came back with most of it in their shoes. I didn't join them; I stayed behind with the wonderful Rebecca, who, like me, is just getting over a cold and doesn't want to risk it getting any worse.
The chilly weather has allowed me to bring all my winter attire out from the back of the wardrobe. I trudged to school today in big green wellies and a stripy scarf, and I even wore my purple hat, which received mixed receptions from my friends. I plan on wearing it all the time - even indoors - until they are forced to accept it for what it is. This isn't just a purple hat - it is a mark of my  INDEPENDENCE!
Perhaps that's taking it a little too far, but I take my winter wear very seriously. I've been told that my coat makes me look "like a bodyguard" on more than one occasion, which I'm not so sure is a compliment. Not that I'm particularly fussed over said coat - I'm not too keen on it myself anyway and the buttons keep falling off. If anything was said about my purple hat, however, I don't know what I'd do. I'm very, very attached to that hat. There's a wonderful story behind it, actually...
December has started, and I don't have an advent calendar. I do have this week's Radio Times though, which  includes a preview of the TV programs that will be aired over Christmas. The most exciting of which is, of course, the Doctor Who special, which has Dumbledore in it! I can't wait!
In other news, I'm getting rather bored of this background, which is a shame seeing as I spent so long trying to get it there in the first place. Maybe I'll change it, but not now. I'm busy "working".
The mocks are getting closer, and still I have done nothing to prepare. I'm supposed to be revising now. Why am I not revising now? I'm going to go and revise now.


There's no way I'm going to revise now. I'll probably just open another game of spider solitaire.
