At lunch my friends were telling me about Musicality in Poetry and how boring it was. They had to do things like: "feel the letter O and S and B" etc. My laughter almost brought me to tears. Or walk across a paper barefoot and write a poetry about it. Rap William Blake's poem 'London'. I hope they don't find out about this. If they're reading this, remember I love you'll.

The most memorable time in my life was when my mum came back from Saudi Arabia and my dad from Bangladesh. Being away from them made me realise how much they really mean to me. You suddenly realise all the things that you should appreciate and say thank you for and take advantage of. Now that we're all back together our relationship and love for each other has gone even stronger.

I found a question placed on a forum yesterday. Should African countries with cities named by former european colonists be Africanised? As I am from South Africa myself. I find that the government bodies within Africa spend more time and money on immaterial topics such as changing names founded by historic figures who brought great pain and depression. Issues like these should take the back seat especially when they face problems like poverty and Aids. The reason for this is because the amount of money it takes to market such a change could go to the more important things that face the country.

Me and my friends wanted to see the Buckingham palace, we walked out of the ICA and towards it feeling hungry and tired after the long day. When we came back we were very surprised to see Kelly Holmes dropping out of her limo for an interview. This was actually the first time I've seen the palace. It was very interesting but nothing to what I thought.

Three things memorable about today!

* We saw Kelly Holmes being interviewed near Buckingham palace by a pair of Journalist. She was all dressed up. She's prettier in real life.

* In one workshop at the ICA which was called musicality of poetry we learnt how letters in the alphabet and poems could be sexy and fun. It was weird, we also had to feel some plastic letters and describe them.

* The talk done by John Bird from the Big Issue was funny and enjoyable. He swore a lot.

I am a palestinean girl. I was born in Lebanon. Since I was young I had one question why I didn't born in palestine if its my country. My family said that Jews took our country and Britain helped them to do so. My Question was who gave them the right to take my country and until today I had no answer.

When we went to the ICA after the first conference for lunch we passed Buckingham Palace and then saw Kelly Holmes in a limosine then being interviewed on camera.
