Hello people, I'm back! 2/2 blog so cool. I love the music and I hope more class pics are added. I've yet to see one where I'm in. I'm hugely sad that we'll alll be split up next year and I hope the 2/2 blog will serve as a memorial of all the times we shared. (Sob!)

Today's topic is about the phoenix. Did you know that the fact that a phoenix dies and is reborn in the ashes by J.K. Rowling is not the accurate one? The real thing is that the phoenix, after 2000 years of life, will build a fire pile for itself out of sweet smelling woods and then lay an egg in a safe place that will hatch 500 years later. It will then ignite the pile and set itself on fire, reducing itself to a pile of magical ashes. The egg will hatch 5oo years later as mentioned and the new phoenix will arise from the ashes found in the eggs.

Everyone who is a fan of ABBA, namely Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni, should go watch Mamma Mia! a.s.a.p. The musical is so good, there are simply no words to describe it. Exams are over, yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! 2/2 jumps for joy. What else is new?

Anyway, the basic point is that there is only one thing I wanna say today and it is a recommendation to read E.Nesbit's 'Five Children and It' and its sequel 'The Phoenix and the Carpet'. Though these may seem childish, they are truly delightful and for once, an adult author is sensible enough to call all parents 'complex'. If you enjoy these, than go for a more complicated story done by him, 'The Enchanted Castle'. If Mrs Stephen read it, she'll probably comment on the book being good for descriptive essays. But that aside, just read the book and have fun! You'll like the gardens with the Greek gods and godesses.

Today is also the day where I have decided to go doubly mad and start studying for astronomy. Don't you people simply have an Alien friend in your midst?
