An excellent, but still rather odd, day

Hello again,

As said before, I have started to get back into writing these things. Today was a very strange day which thankfully due to a few good friends turned out much better than I originally anticipated. The theme for the day (for those not there or not in year 9) was exploring the guided bus through the medium of drama and music. At first, admittedly, I didn't think much of this theme and imagined it would be a tad on the dreary side.

We started off pretty badly actually, the classic 'sugar paper take down notes and plan' situation was the first thing, whilst we also watched a short film on the new guided bus. This turned out to be our theme, making a promotional advert campaign for the new Guided Bus.

My group, consisting of Helen, Katie, Jamie B, Ali B and Jamie (the owly one) started off by making a deliberately very cheesy advert, which was actually not so great and didn't get across the point. So then we joined up with the other people and made a very odd and abstract ad campaign, involving dialog, odd singing, and abstract floaty dancing. It begun with Lucy complaining of congestion, and then Jack jumped out at her and said 'Why not try the Guided Busway!'. Next thing Jamie had burst into song about the Guided Bus, which for us behind the curtains and those watching from the audience was quite amusing, but then once he had finished Emma the curtain opening extraordinaire opened the curtains and we all begun dancing in a very graceful way, whilst Jamie came up to us and said things like 'It's fast' and 'It has free Wi-Fi' and 'It's such a smooth ride' and 'Save the Owls!' and all manner of things, which then lead to us all lying on the floor as the curtain closed. We then got the chance to perform our wonderful jingle, 'Want no fuss? Get the Guided Bus!' and the guy from Cambridge County Council said he liked it the best so, ya never know, we might be millionaires next week :D

Anyway, point being, what might have not been so good was in fact rather a good day, which was as always entirely due to my wonderful friends, who I couldn't live without :)
