Monday Monday Monday

I absolutely LOVE the summer holidays, it's probably the only time I'll have free to write sweet nothings in this blog. Today is a text book summer holidays day, I really don't have anything to do, but it's sunny and I some books - what more do you need? Well a Magnum would be greatly appreciated ... hmm maybe after lunch!
It's only a week until my family and I jet off for our annual summer holiday - this year to Barcelona, Spain. Summer holidays are great and everything - I mean you get all you want for 2 weeks just because you're in another country, family arguments (wich are bountyful) aside , it's a pretty restful time. But I can't help thinking what a holiday away would be with 5 of my bestest friends! After pouring over one of Peaches Geldof's ELLEGirl columns it hit that most people actually would like this idea of being confined with their friends for two weeks! It seems to be a problem that isn't just my own! My friend Sarah also dreads this idea, though for her it's an actual problem - cooped up for a week with someone you can't stand. Even the longest of friends would find this horrific, Hannah and Claire have been friends forever - maybe longer than Raz and I have, and they get fed up with each other after awhile! They need space from each other too. Unconditional friend love seems to be low in Farnborough. I know there are probably one or two people I could stand for longer than a week, so what makes Peaches enjoy the company of her friends so much??
It's not that our school is too small to have a big choice of friends! My class alone has about 30 potential peeps - so why is it hard to have a BFF that's entirely tolerable?!
Actually, thinking about it, the people I'm forced into friendships with are probably the reason why I'm wary of spending too much time with my friends. Take the past year with a certain Holly Warboys, a day with her is enough to push me over the edge - but a week with Hannah M. is fine, she keeps my sane - the same said for Sarah. Thank God that we only have a year left of these forced friendships, 6th form will be the chance to meet a gazillion other people, that I may actually be able to stand, and who knows, this free space may make me appreciate the firends I have now more.
