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 21^st 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

Levers Ball and Prise Giving

Yesterday evening we had our final goodbye at the school ball. It was seriously amazing. There were a lot of photos and a lot of laughter which made the night really special. It was actually at school on the field in a marquee with a dance floor & chandlers which was nice but the school field is known for its bumpy-ness so it wasn’t exactly flat but it was close enough.

Mum and I wore hired dresses which look fabulous and dad wore his dinner jacket and suit. I was rather worried that I would be the only one in a long dress but I wasn’t and everyone else looked gorgeous- even the boys hehe

On arrival we had our photos taken by the school photographer with our parents. (Ours was lovely so we bought it) There was a set menu which I wasn’t sure about because I didn’t really like the sound of any of it but there was Melon or prawn salad for started which I had the prawns , beef wellington or chicken wrapped in bacon and apple sauce and I had the chicken and lemon torte for dessert.

We were sat in tables of 10 people (yet ours was only 9) which was great fun because the wine went to quick. (Though a lot was spilt over people, the table and the floor) There was a characteratures who drew some super pictures of us and they all looked amazing because she did them so quickly.

Obviously we danced but during dinner there was 2 wonderful male singers and then when we started danced they sang some great songs and they sounded so good. After 10.30 the DJ started (who was rather cute) and he played decent music some classics, some cheeses and recent, something for everyone and it was great fun seeing some of our teachers dancing and being like “normal” people not just “teachers”.

It finished a 1am but we didn’t leave until 1:30 because there was lots of hugs and kisses at the end which was nice because I know deep down despite the fact that I won’t like it that I probably won’t see everyone all together again.

But on the lighter note Senior Prise Giving was yesterday which at first I was really apprehensive about but in the end it was really good evening. This year they did things rather differently; there were minor and full prefects and 2 Vice Heads instead of 1 vice and 1 head. I’m personally really happy with the 3 people they chose this year and I give them all the best for the next year.

But I did receive the DT prise and Service prise which I’m quite proud of, the prise is a £10 book token and I still have 1 from last year which I still haven’t spent (we can’t remember where the other one went because I don’t remember buying a book) so I’m planning on buying a few driving text books or a design book for college next year- both vitally useful in my eyes hehe

Rainforest Cafe adventure

As you may know I’ve been on holiday for the last 4 weeks and basally I’m getting rather board, I’ve changed my room around, I’ve repaired my socks, been out with friends a few times and browsed blogs and procrastinated way too much.

So my very lovely Godmother took me to London for the day. I didn’t know where I was going however mum and dad did. We got to London about 1.30 and had a wander around Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, The Trocadero, we went into Hamleys and played with a lot of bears and other toys (What I wouldn’t do to be a child again and not have to leave school!)

But after all that guessing of where we were going to eat, we finally got to The Rainforest Cafe. On the top floor is a shop full of cuddly toys and other jungle and rainforest animal things but walking down the stairs was this totally amazing atmosphere of a restaurant. We had to wait for 20 minutes (which turned into 40, though we could see 2 tables of 2 seats with nobody sitting at them but we didn’t say anything) But once we sat down and I ordered a bowl of pasta (stupidly small) and for dessert I had panna cotta which was lovely!

Around the restaurant were all these movable animals of the rainforest and we were sat right next to the elephant and about 5 meters away from the gorilla, and every 30minutes there was a thunder storm and rain (just the sounds thankfully) but with strobe lighting but luckily we were away from the lights.

London

On the 25^th dad and I went to London to the Tate Modern and a few other places. It was really fun, although mum wasn’t there because she was at work, while it was her birthday :( (Happy Birthday)

The Tate Modern exhibition was really good ‘Street & Studio’ there were some odd pieces and some amazing! We went to some other showings there which were good too.

We walked along Embankment, which was kind of cool because it was a clear day and the glass buildings looked incredible. There’s this seriously cool place under some steps that skateboarders and BMXs ride. They are really talented and really cool to watch them.

We went into Covent Garden where there was a hilarious man juggling which 7 balls, an apple which 4 machetes also the very high unicycle- which was amazing.

Next to our restraint was a man making a lion, I think? in the sand. It was really cool because it’s just sand!!

Long wait until 21st August

I had my last exam today. Woop! Overall they went okay- I suppose. But I think History: Germany 1918- 1945 went the best then Biology, considering I don’t really need either of the GCSEs to go to UCCA, but never mind.

But from today I have two and-a-bit months to do nothing! Well I do need to get a job because I will become very board otherwise. But I plan on going to my Granny’s in Scotland and seeing friends but today I threw out all my revision notes, all my books from year 7 ,8 and 9 (I thought I would keep 10 and 11- I filled 3 recycling bags :S), a very productive day me thinks :D

(The piles did become bigger)

3 is the magic number

Well this week has been a completely terrible one! I have 8 exams in 4 days- and they didn’t go as well as I planned. It makes me think, what they would have been like if I didn’t revise?!

Monday morning was DT and Maths. DT wasn’t that good; I now know that I threw away some silly marks which I did know if I just thought about it.

Maths wasn’t too bad, but to be quite frank I don’t really care about it- yes I know that I will need maths when paying bills and things when I’m older but you really don’t need to know to do Quadratic equations and when will Trigonometry ever come up in everyday life?- All valid question in my eyes!

All the rest weren’t as good was hoped for but I’ll take everyone’s advice and support that “it will be fine in the end.”

I don’t have any until next Wednesday then I have Germany 1918 to 1945, Physics and Geography.

Revision around my room- Ill be so happy when it comes down because i cant see in my mirrors!

Good luck to everyone else!
