Hello everybody,
My update that I promised is here! Well....where to start? I am in Mallorca here on holiday as you know with Mummy and Emily (left Daddy at home!) It's lovely and warm and we are just heading off down to the beach today. Although.... there is a down side to this wonderful holiday because no one can treat themselves too much...I have had to bring ALL my school books, which has filled my suitcase and hardly left me any room to take clothes so I am left here revising 6 hours a day (on beach instead of swimming and making sandcastles) with two outfits for a week! It really is the life (not). Lets just hope it pays of in the exams!
I have been really well overall, had a couple of bumps and bruises at the worst. I am getting fitter and I have managed to get into the A Team tennis at my new school (Oakham) which I am really proud of because it is my favourite sport of the year.
At school there was a Short Story Competition. I wrote about one of my experiences in hospital, Mummy said it was not the right thing to do because it was really sad and I could write about all the lovely things we have done, like our weekend in Paris, and describe them really well. But I thought I could describe my time in hospital even more well and in lots of detail. I worked really hard on it and made my whole class cry becuase it was so sad (don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing!) and managed to win the prize in my class. It is now going forward to be judged out of my whole year which is about 5 other stories of extremely high standard compared to mine because I am in one of the bottom classes. I will know how well I have done at the end of term.
In the meantime, because I love writing so much, I thought I would write a book for people on the ward, and people who would like to know more about Leukaemia and what it's like to have it with a glossary of all the drugs and side effects of them in the back.
I will be selling it for £5.99 and 75% of it will go to Ward 27 Leicester Royal Infirmary so Rachel can improve the ward. I will be writing it in the summer and I am just getting ideas together at the moment.
If I have missed anything just say and I will update you on that too.
Love Mima xx
