SIS...

Finally was able to meet [profile] x_reggg on Sunday before she left for London...at least, I managed to find some time to meet one friend before they set off although yes, I would have liked to have been able to have seen everyone before they left but alas, schedule woes once more cough in my face.

Talked about quite a lot...London, uni life at UCL, her worries/anxieties about getting the same room or not (which she did actually!) and a surprising amount of reminiscing on SIS. How we managed to talk for about 5 mins non-stop figuring out which floor on which block corresponded to each subject/department is beyond me and talking about which form rooms we had before and which teacher had which room was actually welcome since it refreshed my memories which I almost forgot. Forgive me while I digress and put up a memo of floors and blocks for my future reference...in case I forget it again...

C Block = 1st floor, library; 2nd floor, English, ICT (formerly), Textiles and Ecobus...oh and yes, the sports hall; 3rd floor, Geo and History (C37 being formerly Mr McKirdy's geography classroom and my first form room with 7S and Mr Stevenson while later being changed into the Humanities Office; C33 being Mr Campion's room, C32 being Mrs Mathieson's room and of course, C31 being Mr Taylor's room.); 4th floor, Religious Studies and sometimes English, Chinese and once French with Mr Hammond in the beginning of Yr 8 [I think it was C42/3] and General Studies (ugh)...with C46 being Mr Radford's former classroom in Year 7 (did you know I recently learned that Mr Radford also graduated from Durham?!); 5th floor, mainly English with C55 being Ms Rodger's room and C51 near the stairs being Ms Sutherland's room. I also remember C52 being Mrs Ralli's room. Oh, and of course, the 5th floor refect on the stairs opposite, the astroturf, the indoor basketball court which came along with the D block and the two 'sheds' which were formerly the music rooms near the refect. 6th floor, IB centre/common room and careers office.

D Block = 1st floor, maths; 2nd floor, maths, ICT; 3rd floor, Languages office(?) and well, obviously...languages while D33 was M. Hammond's room for French during GCSE; 4th floor, languages (mostly French and German...haha, memories of anxiously pacing back and forth before my French oral exams); 5th floor was nothing since it consisted of two flights of stairs and connected the C block to the D block (I personally hated the extra flight of stairs when my locker was located on the 6th floor in Yr 10 or 11?...oh, and before I forget...G/F on D block was the main refect and where my locker was in Yr 12/13, if I remember correctly), 6th floor, music; 7th floor, art and ICT(?) or was that the 6th floor? and 8th was media studies and textiles, I think. 

S Block = 1st floor, D&T rooms, 2nd floor, home economics and once S27 or 21(?) was the 'hated' room where we all had detention for a whole week in Year 7 with Ms Wilson since some of us forgot to bring books to read...; 3rd floor, physics (ah, memories with Mr Giddings in S33, lol), 4th floor, chemistry; 5th floor, chemistry and bio(?); 6th floor, science office. I remember also there being an ICT room in Yr 7...was it on S block floor 1 or 2?

Right...I think that has taken up more space than I actually planned...but as I said...for reference but I can imagine almost everyone phasing out by now if they've got to this point.

And now I've forgotten what I wanted to say before all this...*sigh*

EDIT: How on earth could I forget that the HALL was on the 2nd floor on C block?! Such an important room (the venue of exams, mock-exams, assemblies, graduation...) and I completely forget about it...
