My dearest Kitty,            So, I haven't blogged for quite a while, so let me update you as to all that has happened:                         - GCSEs are FINALLY over!!!                         - I am on the longest holiday of my life, and am surprisingly unbored                         - I went to stay with Tom last week                         - my little brother got into Oundle                         - I can do a half toe loop...after discovering that I am counter-rotating my jumps                         - my family and boyfriend think I have an eating disorder                         - I had a great afternoon with Freya                         - and the rest of the world seems to be crashing around everyone elses' ears.                 So, point by point:                          1) Hurrah! Chemistry was the last exam! I have no more serious exams for a whole year (so why am I still taking such notice of my spelling and grammer?) We've also had our Chinese results back; straight threes! So I am happy :) And now I don't need to revise, but I am getting a strange urge to learn characters and do Algebra...must resist! (sorry, hyper)                          2) Yes, I have about eleven weeks of holiday. Which is a long time and would usually be a nightmare for me, but I'm looking forward to it! Bodyboarding, a music festival, friends over, roller skating, shopping, ice skating, Hong Kong, redoing my room...it's all happening this summer! And I'm really looking forward to it, for once.                          3) Last week, Mum finally let me get on a train alone and I took a five hour journey up to Lincoln - which is a very nice city; I want to live there - to stay with Tom for four days. It was so much fun! It was just nice to be able to spend that long with him uninterrupted and without fourth form around everytime I'm watching a film with him. So that was really good as well.                          4) William got into Oundle! He's going into Sidney, and that should be a lot of fun for him as well as me! I don't usually get on with him, but hopefully being with people here, he'll become...slightly less abnormal. So that should be good! I'm just hoping that he doesn't get pounded into the ground too hard...                          5) It's another jump with a forward take-off...and apparently all my jumps are rotating the wrong way; you're supposed to go in the OPPOSITE direction to your foot! How irritating is that? Still, considering I haven't a coach, I think it's quite an accomplishment that I can jump at all!                          6) So, Tom, Mum, Fenny, Pop and Dad don't think I eat enough. Great. And considering I've lost three kilos since the Chemistry exam and can wear stuff meant for thirteen year olds...it is a little worrying. Still, I'm not complaining. But, just to make it perfectly clear, I AM NOT ANOREXIC!!!!                          7) Freya and I have spent the best part of this afternoon catching up with ice cream under the trees - that my great-grandfather planted - in the graveyard. Why does everything always happen when I'm not here?                          8) Which brings me on to my next point, and the person that it mostly concerns: Fraser. He is upset again. Very upset. And, this time, I don't know how to help. I spent so long trying to pull him out of it last time, over Easter, but now I just don't know what to do. I got so stressed out, lost so much sleep, and cried so much that I don't know if I can actually go through that again. He won't even tell me what's wrong, and how can I possibly BE expected to help if I don't know what the matter is? It's all getting terribly complicated again...not just with Fraser, either. But Freya would probably eat me if I put all her stuff here, so I shan't.                    On the bright side, I saw Hector's latest blog, and he seems to have cheered up. So that makes me happy :)       You're probably completely fed up with my lists now - oh dear, I am getting predictable, aren't I? - but you'll have to put up with one more before we go back to school in September. I'll write before then, I promise, but I'll try not to do another big list! But please forgive me if I forget and do!I'll write soon.Ever yours,           Francesca
