woah

today was my last ever day of school!
obviously i still have exams and can choose to go to some revision lessons. but effectively i never have to go to lessons ever again!
its all over. 7 years and its all gone.
it is really weird! kinda really starting to hit me that its over. one more month and 2 days and my exams will be over.

i didnt cry at the assembly, it was good, just not majorly emotional. i'm sure at the end of june when we have out ball we'll get emotional. but for now i'm kinda in awe.
we also get our leavers hoodies soon (not today, probably after half term)

at the moment some aircrafts from dalton barracks are circling abingdon and flying right over my house. i thought the noise was thunder but nope, its way louder than that. part of me is kinda excited by the noise and impressive aeroplanes...part of me is slightly scared by it all!

anyway i'm off, kat's coming over and i'm 'babysitting' too. but hopefully my family are going to get takeaway tonight and i'm going to watch lots of crime tv to celebrate the end of school!! (i do have friends and a social life, i'm just broke so not going anywhere with them!)
much love xxxxxx

ok i admit it...

i havent posted for like 5 days...which after my numerous complaints to others is hypocritcal of me. but at least i didnt leave it for over two weeks *cough* pete *cough*

had a good weekend, we went to twickenham (my family and the challis family) to watch the heineken cup final- yes we won, against the odds...we didnt just win, we won 25-9 hahahahaha!!!

tomorrow is the leavers assembly, somewhat bittersweet i think. i imagine i'll cry but thats ok.
we also get our leavers hoodies on friday :D and then i'm done!
no more lessons!!
tis very exciting!

am also filling in my application form for next year. scary stuff....makes is pretty concrete once its handed in. next year will be a challenge but i'm up for it. i'm just going to decide that i'll do it and i'm so stubborn that i wont give up until i get through it and enjoy it!

making final plans for summer stuff. including getting hannah swift to come to new wine, getting money together for girls holiday, filling in forms for holiday club and writing birthday invites.
yes thats right...birthday invitations! i know my birthday isnt until september 6th (put it in your diaries right now!!) but with people going away over the summer i need to get invites out soon! i'm going to have a girly meal with my friends and have cocktails and just enjoy being 18 :)

anyway thats my update for now!
will probably write tomorrow after the leavers assembly when i'm in a torn state of sadness and happiness!!
much love xxxxxx

back to the grindstone

dont even know if thats the right phrase!
but i'm back at school, have been since tuesday afternoon but today was my long day. went ok, it was made better by catching up with friends, planning last lesson parties for next week and a couple of games of yah-dice (dont ask!!)

i cant believe it but our official leaver's assembly is next wednesday and as of next friday i will have no lessons! just exams. but i will have left school!
how scary!! on the one hand i'm excited but on the other hand school is very safe and that friendship bubble is very safe and i dont wanna leave!! but i do! but i don't! lol you see my torn-ness!
its very weird, its come about very very very fast. this past year has just whizzed by!
and before i know it my exams will be over and my summer plans will start (america, new wine, results day, girls holiday, holiday club, my 18th birthday- in that order!) and then my gap year will start!

speaking of which, i'm meeting andy and emma (youth workers) next wednesday lunchtime to talk about what things i'll be doing next year! very exciting/scary!!

anyway i'm off to watch some television and chat to some pals online!
much love xxxxxxxxx

eurovision

hold on...wait a minute...we didnt win eurovision?!?
big surprise there(!)
since we had such a good song(!)
and the contest is all about talent(!)
not at all political(!)

can you feel my sarcasm??

bless malta though, they gave us 12 points! i expect its all the british people living there!!

anyway i'm off to bed, i love my bed. me and my duvet are currently inseperable! xxxx

home ill :(

i am currently lying on my very comfy sofa using my mum's laptop to try and distract myself from how crap i'm feeling.
i've got this nasty cold bug my parents had last week, its not nice, i've got a slight temperature but nothing major, sore throat, cough, blocked nose and general tiredness. i was off school yesterday and today.
i've pulled out of the charity dragon boat race i was planning to do on sunday and i doubt i'll be going to the lazer arena at church tomorrow, which sucks coz i was looking forward to that. but with exams coming soon i cant afford to be ill too long, i need to rest and get rid of this bug so i can get back to school.

other news is that we have tickets to the heineken cup final weekend after next. should be a good match :)
oh and kat and i are hopefully going to get tickets to high school musical at the new theatre. and hannah and i have got tickets to t4 on the beach which is like party in the park but on weston-super-mare beach. its going to be amazing :)

anyway i'm going to go watch some afternoon tv, hopefully my mum is coming home soon and i'm going to ask her to make some chocolate fridge cake. its yummy and with my taste buds all off i want some food that is stronger and tastes good hehe.
much love, please pray i get better soon xxxx

bank holiday

its not sunny which sucks but getting to lie-in on a monday morning is wicked!
i'm in a pretty good mood today :)
tiredness is still present but i went shopping with my parents earlier and got a new top and have also ordered another couple of things. i've just got my revision out the way which is good too.
i've tidied my room a bit, watched some tv and generally enjoyed the day!

my dad's away tonight and my brother is out so me and my mum have the house to ourselves this evening, means peace and quiet i imagine!
cells last night actually went well i thought. we had our usual distractions but we got through the cell outline, prayed for a bit and really had a good discussion. i was very pleased :D

7 weeks and 3 days until i am completely free from exams and school....:O sounds like such a short time and its going to whiz by. after this summer everything is going to change. i know that, but doesnt mean i cant be sentimental about it!
which is why i've decided to do a project of sorts....i've asked 9 of my close friends if they would be up for me taking some portrait black and white photos of them. most have replied back saying yes which is wicked. i just want a keep sake of those who mean the most to me right now :)

anyway thats my update for now, will no doubt be back to blog tomorrow once i'm back at school and wishing i wasnt!
much love xxxx

oops!

after a number of complaints at other people for not blogging regularly i have realised i myself havent blogged in about 6 days :(

however i know have some spare time that i thought i wouldnt have. this is due to the fact i wanted to spend some time with my family this afternoon and play mahjohngg (weird yet fun board game we play) except my brother has decided to go out at 4pm so it had to be now.

but oh no...he hasnt done any revision yet today and has to do some before he goes out so we cant play. he's out again tomorrow so we cant play then and i might be going somewhere on monday so not then either. i just wanted to spend some time with my family...weird of me i know but i wanted to all the same.
he's always out at the moment, usually with hannah. which on one hand is very cute, on the other hand highly annoying.

it doesnt help that i'm tired and hating revision, although i did do a bit earlier and a bit just now. was going to do some once peter had gone out but i might as well just shut myself away in my room and revise all afternoon since there is nothing else fun to do this afternoon.

i'm frustrated and tired and annoyed and i know its petty and its just a game but i dont care. at this moment in time its important to me and it isnt working out.

it doesnt help that both my parents dont have alot of energy having been ill this week, they are feeling better but it means they dont exactly want to deal with me being stressed at peter and i dont want them to have to deal with it coz i know they're tired.

it just all sucks. anyway i'm going to go surf the internet mindlessly for a bit and maybe do some revision....fun fun(!)
