Monday and Tuesday, 13-14 December, last two normal days at Reed's

On these two days Steve was planning to attend some theatrical performances at his school, which lasted until 20:30, this gave me the opportunity to spend most of the day at Reed's. On Monday we worked really hard at D&T, trying to finish our pool table in time. We also had our Christmas lunch at Reed's. As desert we had, of course, some Christmas pudding. I didn't really like it (like most foreign people). After school we worked a bit longer on our pool table and hung around a bit at the Sixth-form house. I got picked up at 20:45. On Tuesday we worked on our pool table, but it didn't seem like we would have enough time to finish it at Reed's. That evening there was a Christmas dinner planned for the boarders. I was very happy that Mr. Balls approached me earlier that week and asked if I wanted to join the boarders with their dinner, so that evening I did. The dinner was about the same as lunch, but we were allowed to get more than one portion (some people were very glad about this). I got picked up again around the same time.
