This Week In School: KER-SPLAT!

This wasn't your typical Week In School. Half of it was either Permenance (oh, the ENDLESS hours), Theatre learning or Crepe/Galette making. And even then we had bank holiday Monday off, so really it was only three days and a half (we're not in on Wednesday) of School and most of that time was just us messing around! Heck we were so relaxed and chilled that we threw an egg at the whiteboard...yeah that's what the 'KER-SPLAT' title of this Blog Post means...

Monday was a bank Holiday day, so this is pretty much the shortest paragraph of a This Week In School Blog ever then. But if you're interested I used the day to basically just sleep in and ferment for an extra day.

Tuesday was the only REAL working day, and even then it was quite laid back. Maths went at a much slower rythm, and it went from being really hard to being really easy again. Honestly its like a constant tug of war with Maths, just when you think you've got it all settled, all of sudden an even BIGGER army appears and you get knocked off your feat. Sure you get back up and eventually win the war, but then it repeats itself when an even BIGGER enemy appears over the horizion, and one that will reeeally knock you over like skittles. So if you were to put my struggle with Maths this year into context, it would probably be The Lord Of The Rings then! What followed after Maths was THREE hours of French. Why? I don't know! And it was on the subject of Theatre, yes that's right, all that weird Romeo And Juliet Shakespeare nonesense (if it really was Shakespierre that wrote those plays of course). Even worse, we have to act out an entire part of the play in front of the Class next Week, and I'm the one that has to play the blumming' girl! And there's like FIVE pages of the thing to read, in olde French, which to be quite frank is mostly composed of some of the most ridiculous sounding words EVER. Words that are quite the terror the pronounce aswell. Besides who even attempted to turn Shakespeare into French anyway? Bloody mad idea! OH WOE IS ME!!!!!!!!!!! WHY HATH SUCH A FATE BEEN BESTOWED UPON MEEEE!!!!!!!!!! 

So basically it was us reciting our five pages of lines on an endless loop for three hours, yippee.

The Afternoon perked up with English, which was basically the same lesson as before but you now had to write a text about your dream house and German, in which we watched the last twenty minutes of 'Goodbye Lenin' and just sat around doing nothing for the remaining thirty. The ending to the film was quite sad, but a good kind of sad if you know what I mean. We're not talking Toy Story 3 level emotion here, but still very heavy: *SPOILERS* The mother died, the Dad had started a new family of his own and it turned out that none of these events would have happened if the mother had decided to leave the country with her husband in the beginning (you can catch the entire synopsis HERE)! After German was....OH GOOD GOD NO! The less said about Extra Maths, the better...

Wednesday was fun, and I even improved a bit on Frisbee. Don't get your hopes up though, my team still lost TERRIBLY! Part of it was because a LOT of people were absent on this day, especially alot of the boys so there was about six of us in all. And yes, they put the three bad ones (me included in-case you haven't been reading my Blogs lately) in one Team and all the good ones in another one. Which just resulted in a complete and utter victory for those cocky, french bastards who know how to throw a Frisbee correctly without it swerving away to the side or hitting you in the face...repeatedly. Technology was more house building, and I just waited around while all the French did the work this time (considering how bad a job I had done last time). To be fair though there wasn't alot I could do, all the the other Team-members had everything covered and even the little jobs took about 30 seconds to do anyway. Geography was the only real lesson of the day, we started a Chapter on Germany and Italy, and most of it was colouring maps of different countries anyway. While we were busy doing Geography the Teacher brought us all up one-by-one to discuss our Results for this Trimestre (I received the full report two days ago by the way, Blog Post should be coming up soon). Basically she said that I was the perfect student, continously getting the job done and delivering superb results for quite a fair chunk of the subjects. The only thing she deemed as a dissapointment was a lack of participation in Class and my very poor grammar in French. On the participation thing, she said that it would be 'wrong' to force me to put my hand up in Class, because thats just a part of my personality and she can't change that. I wonder if she said that to the other 75% of my Class that don't put their hands up aswell? Anyway like I said a full Blog Post on this Trimestre and possibly this Year as a whole will be up in the following Week or so. Permenance was the usual boring, until one of my Classmates decided to chuck an egg at the board when the Teacher had left the Class! First of all, what were you thinking, and second, do you think we're making Crepes on Friday now after THIS??! Its just astonishing to see how rebellious this Class has gotten in the past few months! You'd think that the ONE Week where there's no Tests, Homework or general work for that matter (heck barely a lesson goes by now when we're not watching a movie or using the Internet!) they'd at least calm down a bit? NOT CHUCK A FRIGGING EGG AT THE GOD DAMN WALL! WHAT THE HECK WENT THROUGH YOUR MIND? WE'RE PROBABLY ALL GOING TO BE PUNISHED FOR YOUR STUPID ACTIONS NOW! Oooh, the %$£@ going to go down tomorrow!

Thursday was completely pointless. Why you ask? We had two hours of Sport (which can't really be called a lesson) and THREE hours of Permenance because the Maths and S.V.T Teacher Mme Gandon was off sick. So that leaves about two lessons in the ENTIRE day that actually required to pick up a pencil and write down something, right? Well make that one because we were pretty much given a blank check to do whatever we want on the computer in German. You know what I could almost call this day 'fun' if it wasn't for THREE HOURS OF FRIGGING PERMENANCE weighing it down! Yeah so Sport was football, which was slightly underpinned by the fact that none of the girls had brought their Sport bags with them, which I thought was a bit odd. I mean, how come HALF of the entire Class (ALL of them girls) just happened to forget their bags all of a sudden? I'm surprised the Teacher didn't just see straight through them, they CLEARLY didn't want to play Footie. So the Class was divided into two, Me and the rest of the Boys were playing football while the Girls were playing table tennis indoors because...the girls wanted to play Ping-Pong? Yeah..I don't see how they couldn't play football with us just because they haven't got their sportsware on, I mean so what if they're playing in their casual clothes, its not like Ping-Pong will make any difference surely? Anyway, the boys were not permitted to play Football in the second hour because they got tired and stopped playing when the Teacher wasn't there (it was hot outside, but I was in the shade most of the time because I'm always the bloody goalie, even though I continuously continue to suck at it) and we were stuck playing Ping-Pong inside while the girls played beach volley outside. Again, why couldn't the girls have just played Football in the first place? That way the Teacher could have supervised us all without having to ferry back and forth between the two groups! I mean the moment the Teacher left to go see what the girls were doing the boys just started to act silly, and taking a break from playing until he showed up again. And now because of their blasted dumbfoolery I had to play Ping-Pong again, and although football hardly does me any favours it's still infinitely better than that piece of crap Sport. Wedged inbetween Sport was two hours of Permenence, which meant that no-one had been in our Class yet and had seen the splattered egg sprayed across the entire board. The first time a Teacher laid eyes on this rebellious act was in Spanish, which I thankfully didn't attend because I was in the Class opposite our one doing German on the computer. Well, I call it German but it was really just us doing whatever the heck we want on the computer. Basically you had to pick ANYTHING that interested you and write a short ten line essay on it in German. So easy-peasy then, I just have to pick a game or a movie that I like and write a few sentences about it in Hitler's language! Oh, wait, my Computer wouldn't work so I had to collaborate with the guy next to me who was mad on Pokemon. Great. I literally had to endure ONE solid hour of this guy from the other Class telling me who all the different Pokemon where and what they do, which seemed needlessly complicated! Pokemon is quite frankly a very technical and strategic game wrapped around a family friendly paint job so it looks a kids game. Well believe me, that stuff is NO kids game, its more like some Mathematicians wet dream. I can't take it seriously though, the graphics look like absolute shite compared to the Xbox 360's standard and the Pokemons are far too cute in some pictures for them to be at all imposing in combat. I suppose this is what happens when an Xbox nerd meets a Nintendo one? So after German was another hour of Permenance followed by music, which was pretty much the same as last Week: We watched the first 15 minutes of a Charlie Chaplin film called 'Modern Times' which was about this factory worker played by Charlie C going completely insane.

Friday morning was more pointlessness. Extra Maths was the usual horrible and the remaining three hours were us making Crepes and Gallettes in the School kitchen. Oh, and there was also the incident with that egg that a certain member of the Class threw at the board...yeah that too. I'll give cred to the guy that did it though, he owned up to it straight away when the Teacher threatned to put us all in detention for the next three hours doing grammatical exercises, which would be hell incarnate for all of us. No, and even after someone in the Class threw a bit a paper around the place (smart move) she STILL let us do Crepe cooking for three hours. As for the Crepe cooking part, we actually had to make authentic 'artisan' Crepes, and I'm talking proper stove, proper mixture and proper techniques. We had to apply pig fat to the cooking stove before we added the mixture (which had to be prepared three hours earlier due to some special fermenting technique) so the two hundred degree heat wouldn't sizzle the pancakes straight away. Like I said, it was all done very professionally and we all had to have a go at making one of the staples of French cuisine (which is, in my opinion, ridiculously overated). As you can imagine, it was harder than it looked...Most of the French are born and bred Crepe makers of course, but I hadn't made a Crepe in my life so things were slightly harder for me. Not that my Crepes were bad, its just that when you flip them over mine just sort of...fell apart. *SIGH* Add Crepe making to the LONG list of things I'm incapable of doing (i.e Frisbee, Ping-Pong, Football, French Grammer, High-Jump, creating short Blog Posts, not thinking about Dr.Who every single second of my existence...) The Afternoon was Permenence, where I went to the Library and looked at some of the news articles thats been published about the College over the Years. I was quite shocked to see how far the Technology Teacher has come since 2006, and forgot just how awesome M. Onno the English Teacher was. Amongst other things there was an article about my first Cross Country race in 2008, my how I've changed since then. Back then I actually wore something that wasn't just a plain beige sweater with some black/dark blue tracksuit bottoms! I also wasn't as tall...and didn't look like a total nerd. Science was next and it was exactly the same as the last lesson so nothing really to talk about. English was us putting our dream house on the Computer and that was it. For the Jacuzzi I chose the photo with the plasma HD TV screen built into it by the way. 

So that was this Week. Everything's one long party now, what with it being our penultimate Week. Just think, only one last This Week In School Blog Post and its the Summer Holidays from then til' September! Perhaps I should become a Teacher, that way I'll enjoy some lovely long Holidays all year round? God I bet you adults just dream of Summer Holidays now...  

Tim signing out, for what may be one of the last times.       

This Week In School: Goodbye Lenin

This Week In School was a bit boring, but meh. I must have end of the year syndrome again...

Slight change of format this time, instead of taking it day by day I'm doing it subject by subject now. At the end I'll give my 'Rating' out of /10 and give my thoughts on the subject. I might also throw in a 'Best' and 'Worst' moment of the Week aswell. So without furthur ado, here's my recap of the previous Week In School:

German:

This was actually one of the best lessons of the Week, Monday morning had us going on the computers doing these cute little German exercises. Most of them were easy but then all of a sudden they hit this massive learning curve and everything got pretty hard. Which was kinda funny, seen as the website was called 'Easy German!' Tuesday and Thursday afternoon had us watching a 2003 artsy foreign film called 'Goodbye Lenin' which was a nice film. Basically its set in 1989, when the Berlin wall fell and the two sides of Germany were finally reunited. Its focused on the life of this German family (one without a Husband/Dad as he fled and left the family behind all of a sudden), and it's sort of this tradgicomedy because the main character's mom Christiane, suffers a heart-attack just before the reunification and falls into a coma, and when she wakes up a year later with no memory of what has happened (and ALOT has happened since then) the son Alex has to basically lie to her about everything that's gone on in Germany because any shock or sudden relevation could bring about a second, possibly fatal heart attack. So he now has to go to these enormous lengths to ensure that she still thinks Germany is divided up into two, by creating false news reports or trying to find old food that isn't branded with any western market brands (Coca Cola and Burger King features prominently in the film, which is the most audacious bit of advertising I've ever seen, to the point where its a MAJOR plot point!) or redecorating an entire house to fit in with the communists way of life ect... It was a good film, and I felt genuine emotion for the most part. Unfortunately we didn't have time to see the ending, but I'm sure we'll catch the last 20 minutes on Tuesday.

So German was really good, and it was nice of the new Teacher to dedicate an entire Week to watching a nice little film: 8/10.

Art:

Not alot to talk about here, we only have one lesson every Week. Basically I was busy working on my 'Apocalypse = End Of The World?' banner/poster which was about the scandal Harold Camping had created last month (http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Wolves/harold_camping.htm). The poster I made was a rather oblong looking earth being struck down by giant florescant lightning bolts, with the caption displayed in very wonky looking letters. Not my best bit of work to be honest, I'd rather type on the computer ANY day. Art this Week was short but sweet, and it was nice stretching those creative bones a bit (even though the execution was severely lacking): 8/10.

Technology:   

This Week we're making our model house (which is a bit of an overstatement, the final product will probably have the shape of a house, and thats it), which has been in the workings for quite some time now. Of course the Frenchie's made me do all the work for the first lesson, and when I did it all terribly wrong (the door was extremely lobsided) they just had to slate me for it. Sure, let the nice English guy do it! Honestly, we had to redo the door like three times because neither of us could get it right! Of course the other teams got it right first try, and they were waaay far ahead of us before the Teacher finally butted in and did it all for us. And to be honest, it didn't seem THAT hard! We only had to trace and cut out a plastic door for crying out loud! Surely that isn't beyond our abilitys? At least my last Test Result went well, a 13,5/15 which I honestly wasn't expecting. So the was a nice surprise, but right now I have the urge to F*CKING chuck that model house out the *&%$@ window! So Technology was a mixed, sometimes faustrating lesson this Week: 5/10

Sport:

Erm...Sport was kinda alright this Week. But I still SUUUUCK at Frisbee! No, to be honest I had fun though, because my Team was so terrible at Frisbee last Week that we lost 2-15! NOT KIDDING! I swear to god that the green Frisbee is out to get me, because there hasn't been ONE lesson yet where the bloody thing HASN'T hit me in the face! Although I have noticed that nobody ever passes the Frisbee to me, which is probably why I keep sucking at both catching and throwing it. Not that anyone else is better though (we were just slightly more sh*t than the other Team). Football was an improvement, namely because I FINALLY MANAGED TO SCORE A FREKING GOAL! Well, technically it was just a pair of cones side by side and not an actual goal post but still! To be honest I don't now how I did it, perhaps it was my lucky moment or something? My Class didn't give any recognition though, the bastards. I scored one goal and then was terrible for the remainder of the time. *SIGH* At least I had my moment in the sunlight....Sport was a medicore 6/10.

French: 

*OUCH!* *SIGH!* *SNORE!* *KILLMENOW!* are just SOME of the abjectifs I would use to describe this lesson. How can something take up five hours of your life every Week and you can't even remember what happened? Now THAT is a real snooze-fest. But if your interested my brain does recollect the memories of us using metaphores and comparaisons in really boring sentences for most of that time. Heck it was so boring that it actually put my Class to sleep, which if you're familiar with my last Blog post's is nigh on impossible! French gets a apocalyptic 1/10, being one of the most uninteresting subjects E-V-E-R in the History of well...History!

History: 

It was alright for the most part. We continued to look at the industrial revolution last Week, but whereas last time we looked at the poor and decrepid these lessons were focused on the big winners of that era, namely the big fat greedy business guys who were COMPLETE and UTTER asseholes. It got gradually better though, after a while more rights were given to the people working in the mine shafts but that was after a ton more revolts, uprisings and countless more gallons of blood spilt. Aaah, nothing like a nice mining accident killing 1500 people on a Friday morning! So yeah, for what it's worth History was alright, but its not one of the most compelling subjects this Year: 6/10.

Science:

In Science this Week we...learnt that in a derivational circuit the mesure of intensity in the primary circuit equals the sum of the two other secondary circuits! So basically A + B = C. Yeah, not alot to comment on as it was only one lesson. But hey, it was alright (again), I suppose messing around with electricity is fun: 7/10.

Music:

Again only one lesson. This week we looked at some old silent Charlie Chaplin films and noted the piano-y music that would always change mood and (in some ways) tell the Story without the means of any dialogue what-so-ever. Can I just ask though, if they could add music to the film, why not add voices? It would be interesting to hear Charlie Chaplin talk for once! Anyway I'm digging music this Week, and slapstick comedy never fails to make me chuckle: 9/10.

Maths:

Maths was fine this Week, and by that I mean that I didn't look at my watch and go 'Oh crud, now we've got Maths, might as well repent to Satan now!' The formula is always the same: first off we correct the Homework and then from there on it's just endless exercises with maybe a few more rules thrown in for good mesure, which does get grating after seven months of doing the same thing. Extra Maths is just as terrible as ever though, good god I felt like my eyeballs was about to be sucked out it was so boring! Maths was passable, but just barely: 5/10

English:     

English is always fun, this Week we had to create our 'Dream House'. As you can imagine we all had fun creating wacky idea's, and I ended up drawing a sort of really posh, haute technology shack with a massive HDTV in every room and a large Cinema area. The most imaginative idea was the Jacuzzi built into the bedroom James Bond style. Also I got my average for this Trimestre: an excellent 19,67/20 which is 2nd in the Class overall but I'll think you'll find that out of the entire year (that's all 3 of the Trimestres combined) I come out as first place with 19,87/20 Overall. So you could kinda say that I lost the battle but won the war? English gets a 9/10, hands down for never being boring.

Vie De Class:

Nothing to really comment about here. The Teacher just let us do our thing on the computers while she brought us up to her desk one by one to tell us whether we've passed into 3eme or not. Of course I'm going through, heck they'd be mad to not let me in after a solid year of Results! 8/10, just for the great news.

So Overall it was alright I suppose, but lets face it, we're pretty much out the door at this point. We haven't had any Homework or Tests for AGES now and the final reports have already been made, so these last few Weeks are much more laidback than saaay the January period when it was just a Testing and Homework marathon day in, day out. French can go to hell though, wait til' you find out what we're doing this Week, its got to be the most embarassing thing EVER!

Best Moment Of The Week:  Finally scoring a goal in Sport.

Worst Moment Of The Week: Cocking up in Technology. BLASTED MODEL!

Last Week In School: Les Fourberies De Scapin

If you didn't understand the title of this Blog Post then don't worry, neither did I! Apparently it's the title of a play or something that we went to see last Week, which was blissfully short. From Monday to Wednesday, few problems arose in School, for once.

Monday was drab, it was nothing special and for the most part was a boring chore to get through. I yawned my way through German, having no interest what-so-ever in how you pronounce the number 998 in German. And if you think saying it was bad, look how much space that ONE number fills: neunzehnhundertneunzigacht! Yep, probably explains why the Germans don't do checks! And don't get me started on the number 1889! Science was up next, and I didn't particulary know what the hell I was doing for most of the time, all this stuff about electricity was confusing. Apparently the main goal of this lesson was to show us how an electric current circulates around our house, but I didn't really learn anything at all. Art was up next, and the objective was to create a billboard/campaign poster that showed you taking a stance against something. I chose to make a poster revolving around the crazy theory that has been circulating for quite some time on the Apocalypse, or the rapture. As always with me, the idea was fine but it's always the execution that seems to fall short. Maths was DUUUULLL. Moving on, *SNORE*.

The afternoon started with History, where we looked back at all those poor people who had to work in the coal mines in the 1800-1900s. Basically if you were a miner in those times it only meant one thing: DEATH from malnutrition, DEATH from toxic fumes, DEATH from accidents with the machinary, DEATH from poor living quarters and DEATH from exhaustion. So in short: DEATH, DEATH AND MORE DEATH! In French we were supposed to print out our 'open letters' but as the printer wasn't working properly not alot went on. So we were reduced to doing grammer exercises for the rest of the hour: Y-A-Y. 

Tuesday was part totally insane and part BORING AS HELL!! Maths was so boring that it makes me shudder in horror just at the thought of writing about it. I'll be glad to get rid of this lesson when the Summer Holidays start in just under a months time. History was again horrible, exploring how exploited these poor peasants were, apparently they were allowed no less than THREE toilet breaks a day or they would be docked pay! Now thats just criminal! French was a study on something or another, I think it was a letter about this guy who was wrongly accused for treason or something during the Second World War...don't look at me I can barely remember those two hours of sheer 'bordanity'. Oh look, I created a new word! 

The afternoon was bonkers. We got on a bus at 1.50pm to go see this 'Spectacle' in Mauron called 'Les Fourberies De Scapin'. From start to finish I couldn't tell what the hell was going on (perhap's its a French thing?). Basically the entire thing was comedians/actors walking and talking in this circle of sand for two hours, and every now and then they would bob their heads back and forth going 'BOM, BOM, BOM, BOM, BOM!' while this pregnant girl started crying.....one of them was wearing this cartoony pig mask and I think the main character was called Scapin....look I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what this thing was on about. There were no sets or props to give an indication of the setting and most of the actors looked like they had just walked in with their normal clothes and started preforming! IT WAS COMPLETE AND UTTER MADNESS! MADNESS I TELL YOU!!!! To give the actors credit, they were pretty good, but I just couldn't tell what the &%$@ was going on!

Aw well, at least this two hour acid trip was better than an afternoon in School...

Wednesday was a full day opposed to the normal half-day because of the four day break. All the lessons we would have had on Friday we had on this day. I can summarize it all pretty quickly: 

Extra Maths = GOOD GOD NO! PLEASE KILL ME NOW!

Vie de Class = Quite good actually, we had to pick Music that we love and present it in the form of a diaporama to the Class. If you're interested, I decided to pick music from some of the Video-Games I absolutely adore (namely the Mass Effect Series).

History = Looked at how the big Industrialisation of Britain/Europe happened. Mainly just a bunch of greedy businessmen.

Maths = KILL IT WITH FIRE!

Permanence = BORING!

Science = Okay I suppose, lots of Homework to do for next time *GRUMBLE* *GRUMBLE*

English = Test on a little bit of everything. Went quite well but then it would, wouldn't it? 

So that was Last Week In School. If you're wondering what I did during my extra days off it was mostly drooling in anticipation for the lastest Doctor Who (and quite rightly so)! Well that and my Dad coming for the Weekend...yeah that aswell.

                                                                               

Doctor Who: A Good Man Goes To War

OH. MY.GOD. A Good Man Goes To War was undoubtably the best Doctor Who Episode of Series Six. With the only weak link being Curse Of The Black Spot, this Series has so far been some really good telly. Much better than that Britains Got Talent crap, if you watched that instead of this I'm completely ashamed of you. It was a hoot from start to finish, indulging in a bit of fan-service mixed in with an epic tale. And the revelation at the end, although I think we all saw it coming, was nonetheless thrilling. We now know that there has DEFINATELY been a force at work for quite some time (albeit one that still hasn't been revealed, but the eye-patch lady certainly hinted at it), and one that needs Amy's baby so it can use her as a weapon of some sort. Not forgetting that we know who River Song is (FINALLY!)....

So the Episode started with lots of explosions, time-zones and many recurring monsters returning (Sontarans, Judoon, Cybermen, Silurians...) which was all a bit reminiscant of the RTD era of the show but that's no bad thing: it was exiting and epic, really giving a sense of scale and OOMMPH to proceedings. It was telling us that this was no normal episode of Doctor Who, this was a proper Finale! Oooh, I do love my 'everything BUT the kitchen sink' blockbuster stories! Or at least this Episode was, until the last twenty minutes which was basically one big build-up to several revelations (each one of them shocking and genuinely intriguing) that was basically an acting tour-de-force from everyone and provided several WOW! moments. This is Doctor Who at its finest, and the climax of the episode really nailed the answers to the big questions. I mean COME ON! Who ISN'T excited for Series Six Part 2 in the autumn? This Series has the potential to make fantastic television, and if the actual finale is ANYTHING as good as this I think Steven Moffat should receive a standing ovation! 

The acting in this one was brilliant, Matt Smith should be rewarded for going through a range of emotions in just under 7 minutes (panic to arrogance to anger, and then to joy all in one scene). River Song/Alex Kingston had the best moments though, and the fact that Amy Pond and Rory Williams now have a frigging BABY to look after was well handled, in just over one season and a half they have probably had more character progression than any other new Who companions so far. Poor Amy, so much has happened to her since the Eleventh Hour and I'm surprised she hasn't left the Doctor yet! Another great thing about this Episode was the big Monster-fest, and I think all of the side characters were very good and would LOVE to see an entire Episode based around them. Dorium, the Sontaran and the lesbian duo (what the hell was going on with that?!) provided some very happy grins emanating from my brothers mouth (I don't think he got the lesbianbit though). The Cybermen were poorly used though, barely having a cameo for seemingly no other reason than to just have them in it! And by the way, I thought that the whole 'He will rise higher than ever before, and then fall so much furthur' crap was far too over hyped. The Doctor didn't rise particulary high and didn't really fall either. Load of Bullcrap to get us excited for nothing. Anyway, aside from that horrible epic speech the Episode was fantastic. FAN-BLOODY-TASTIC! I haven't included many spoilers in this post just in case some of you haven't seen the Ep yet  (I'm looking at you Grandma), but trust me, it was the BEST thing on T.V this Saturday night. 

So what did I think of the Series? Its been great so far, offering up genuis plot twists and crazy fan speculation (don't even get me started on the fan theories related to this past season!). But if I had to rank them it would probably go like this:

1. A Good Man Goes To War (Excellent)
2. The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People (Brilliant)
3. The Impossible Astronaut/Day Of The Moon (Very Good)
4. The Doctor's Wife (Good)
5. Curse Of The Black Spot (Alright)    

So look's like this will be the last DW related post until the autumn then, see you then! Now if only I had a TARDIS, I could just whisk to Episode Eight right now....
