woootta! hang on a sec! yeah, I didn't check the topic anymore.
hmm I wrote about my afternoon as a babysitter... I had to look after two of my little cousins. they're so cute.
my english teacher is also the tutor of my class.
my friend wrote about her ambitions and stuff (she wants to study Dutch or go to the Art Academy or whatever), and now our tutor wanted to talk to her and said she should go talk to one of the better art teachers in our school (that guy is pretty okay) and to our former Dutch teacher... now that's what we call suicide, go talk to our former teacher! that would be mental....
he's really weird. I also think he's a really good teacher but he's soooo scary and now she's got to talk to him? poor her...
anyway.
how are you peepies doing at school?
the band's doing pretty well, another friend made a tune on her guitar which we also have the text for. it's actually a song for my grandpa

HURRY UP
Hurry up, you're almost there
In the land of golden seas
Where seagulls fly around your head
Where it's full of trees
Hurry up, dear, you're ready to go
You've lived your life as a bear
But now, forever, you may flow
And I will say my prayer
Chorus:
When the morning has come
And the birds start to sing
I know it's alright now...
And you may never return to this place
But it's alright
‘Cause you've lived a beautiful life...
Chorus:
When the morning has come
And the birds start to sing
I know it's alright now...
And you may never return to this place
But it's alright
‘Cause you've lived a beautiful life...
Bridge
Hurry up, God's waiting for you
Hurry up, you’ll need to
Take this ride, it's never too late
But it’s always too early, way too early
Hurry up, grandpa
Hurry up and I shall see
That the rest of my life
You'll be with me
Chorus x2:
When the morning has come
And the birds start to sing
I know it's alright now...
And you may never return to this place
But it's alright
And when the morning has come
And the birds start to sing
I know it's alright now...
And you may never return to this place
But it's alright
‘Cause you've lived a beautiful life...

The first stanza just popped into my head on the morning he died. I was just talking to my friend and then suddenly some words came up. I finished it at home, after my father told me he passed away. Pretty amazing, that exactly those words came!
