After 175 revision cards, 96 posters, 52 sheets of information, 30 pod casts, 10 revision books and 5 years of dreaded school...

After waking up at 3 o'clock, then at 5 then again at 8 I finally got to school to get my results. Probably the worst journey to school I've ever had- because we were stuck behind an old man in a clapped out old banger driving at 30 on a 50 limit road- which really helps when your so worried you might pop!!

But I managed to get 5 As, 6 Cs and 2 Ds. Which for me if FABULOUS!!!

Now I am finally an Art Student!!! Woop! I cant wait for the 1st September- but it's not to far away!

Well done for everyone else for managing to finally finish school!

We’re all going on a summer holiday...

This maybe a long post this time- so here it goes. Yesterday we just came back from being away. We just went to Wales for 4 days then on to Scotland where I stayed with my brother and his girlfriend and we went to the Edinburgh festival- which may I add was great!

Wales was fun. We went to a few place, saw a few things but I brought a fab skirt from Next from £30 to £4- BARGAIN!!! But in the nights of procrastination on Llandudno pier, I won my first two prises on the slot machines- woop! I only used 50p and it lasted a life time but they are only M&M key rings, which are now on my house keys. So when it got to Friday we left Wales and journeyed north to Glasgow.

Apart from the fact it rained and rained then rained a bit more it was really fun in Scotland. We stayed in Glasgow for a day then went to Edinburgh to see Nicholas and to the festival. On the first day the 3 of us went to Sea World. It was really cool to see Nemos and sharks and piranhas! There was a glass tunnel which all around were different schools of fish, rays and gigantic sharks and we didn’t go around 3 times...much- hehe! the 3 of us went to a show called ‘Somewhere Over The Westway” which was A bling-tastic, modern-day urban punk panto version of 'The Wizard of Oz' which was actually hilarious! Mum and I on the last day there before we went home went to see “Oh! What a lovely war” which was ASTOUNDING! because they were only young- 14-18years and some were rather cute too :D

There were the normal acts on the streets doing magic and tricks but one man we saw was very good, on a unicycle kicked a saucer, mug and spoon from his foot to his head (he did do a bit more) and 2 people were doing some amazing magic- personally myself I am astonished by magic and if you can do it I'll be yours for the taking! But the energy of the atmosphere was soo great I do want to work there next year! and maybe someday live there :D

(They were soo good)

(People trying to get your attention with flyers)

(These were great musicians, they were messing about playing on one leg but making some fab faces too- the womans still makes me chuckle)

Today mum and I picked and stewed plums from the tree in the garden. It was really fun because it felt like summer then you step in a squashed plum on the floor and then it’s not much fun after all. But we think we picked about 10kg from that little tree at the bottom of the garden and tommrow we’ll make apple crumble- woop!

However the 21st is getting closer and closer and I’m getting more nervous by the day- I don’t like it!!! But WELL DONE to Michael who did really well on his A level results and watch out Birmingham he’s coming!! :D
