Sophie says hello another time, and she says she will try and be in contact soon (if you wanna see photos of who you talk to, you can see under photos from carindale or whatever my albums called, shes the one with the brown curly hair and golden brown eyes)!
At the moment, us grade 9ers all around the country have national testing on literacy and numarcy, today i did the literacy part of it and i hope i did really well, we had to do a writing task, and I think that will be my strong point for the test. At least it doesnt go to any of our accademic results :D
