Hey Everyone...would post this in non-school, you can move it if you want, but the school won't let me open non-school, theres probably some bad language in it its filtering..

My GAP year is treating me well (all 6 days anyway)

England is pretty fun, and the girls are all really nice (and so unbelievably rich)

They all go hunting, so you don't bring up that you think it is wrong in conversation. One girl in my house even goes hunting with THE princes. Some go to royal balls and that sort of thing too...its so wierd, all these parents are dukes, and duchesses, and sir's and lady's and lord's....
Oh this guy i met is a language assistant at the boys school, and his uncle is the president of ecuador, and his dad is head of the secret service...

Its snowed a couple of house ago, it was so cool, it was like a huge thunder storm we would get at home, except snow instead of rain. We are having a snow fight at 9 tonight, or so i'm told.

For half term, we are going to bilbao in spain, and over easter, we are spending 2 weeks in sardinia, and a week in barcelona which we be so cool, a good chance to find my tan, which will no doubt be lost between now and then.

I think thats enough for you all to read now, i'll try and write again relatively soon, or check back at least with some photos or the snow and stuff!

I hope you all have a great time and UNI, i''m knida glad i defered because i was so scared of the whole thing, choosing courses etc, but i guess now i have a whole year to think about what i really want to do...we'll see if it changes!

lots of love
Courtenay

Wow, I am so envious. How lucky you are! I really want to go to England and Spain. Have you done your gap year through a specific program? I am deferring too, since I knew I wouldn't be sure what subjects to take within my course, so I am going to have more time to decide now. I am going travelling too in two weeks and I can't wait to get away from all the HSC and UNI stuff. Well anyway I hope you are having a great time.

I'm working on meeting a royal...i'll see what i can do.

In the meantime i may get to meet Orlando Bloom...Christabell's cousin is frineds with him, and she is trying to get him to come and give a talk to U6 at school...heres hoping...

I just wrote to schools to do it...not biggy...you can do it through a program, but generally speaking they are far more expensive, to pay joining fees etc... but if you do it privately, you don't have to, but you also have a higher chance of getting a placement if you go through and organisation...i guess its a gamble..

the guy whose uncle is the president of ecuador invited us to go clubbing with him tonight...but i have house duty ....so we are renegotiating for the pub tomorrow. We have 13 pubs in town...should keep us entertained for a while..

where does it say about the princess?
ATM these are the 'princesses' i can think of:
princess anne (queenies daughter)
zara (annes daughter and doesnt carry a title coz her mum didnt want her to have one)
princess beatrice (fergies daughter)
princess eugine (fergies other daughter)
lady louise (sophie and edwards baby, latest addition to the royal family)

thats all i can think of ATM...oh and their only the Windsor family, not including the royals in Monaco and stuff

omg, how sad is it that i know all that :S

I'm not sure how much it will cost....flight obviously, but i got it on frequent flyer points (yay for dad travelling a lot)
we get payed about 320 a month (800/900 australian) but costs are low because we get all meals, and a room, except during the holidays, so basically the money is saved for travel during holidays...i guess it depends how good you are at saving it, and if you find cheap flights etc!! I our 3 week trip will cost about 600 australian, including meals, flights, accomodation etc which isn't bad...but check back with me later to see how much is spend...who knows

i'm trying to meet lots of famous people...i aim to get invited to a royal ball...but thats not going to happen...but it would be cool

who knows what will happen in a year though....
