Last video before D of E :(

So, tomorrow I am going on a D of E expedition until Saturday :( I will be away from my computer and the Internet for, like, 4 days... how will I cope?


Anyways, here is my latest video expressing my sadness about leaving:

Biology themed workout sesh with screaming fajitas?!?!

I had my last two biology exams today. Thank the holy lord. They were multiple choice so I did absolutely zilch revision for it because I just ceebed (AKA: couldn't be ars- bothered).


Loads of people came out going "YAY I'VE FINISHED ALL MY GCSE EXAMS!" and me and a group of other people were stood there like, "Yehh, we've still got german." Awks.


Then after I got home, I went to the gym for a bit of a workout with my dad. I hadn't been for a couple of months so I thought I should try hard to sort of make up for not going for so long.


Later on I had tea with my parents which was fajitas YAY!!! (brother dearest was out at a social event thing at school so he missed them mwahahahaha.)


Then we watched Scream 4, which I found hilarious. There is something about gory horror films that I simply find ridiculously funny, just because of all the blood and guts and stuff ;) It was kinda confusing at the start because it was like a film within a film within a film, sort of like Inception but far more gruesome (and with films instead of dreams) and all the way through we were all like "She's the killer!" and "He's the killer!" and we all ended up being wrong.

Today was a really good day :)

Today, I filmed, edited, musicified and voiceovered my video response to Landon Austin's 'Today Was A Really Good Day' vlog. I am really proud of it and it would be cool if you checked it out...




I made another video without the narrative because I liked how the video I made went with the song I chose so...

YAY NEW BLOG TITLE!!!

Such a busy day! For me anyways...

I got up at 8am this morning so that I could have breakfast and get ready to do my paper round at 8:30. I set off delivering newspapers and got back at about 10am with about 35 left to deliver later.


Then I had a bath (shower's broken) and revised Latin until 11am, when I left to go to school because my dad had to get back home for a conference call at 12. We went past school to get me a sandwich from Hampsons and then I got dropped off at school. I went to the library to revise for a bit, I ate my sandwich (which was huge and yummy) and then I went to the exam at 1:15.


I sat the hour long exam, which was fine and it was my last Latin exam EVER!!! SO HAPPY!!! Then I hung around, waiting for the bus for an hour and a half, whilst revising biology for Friday. I got on the bus at 3:45 and was surprised that my friend was on the bus too (she had had an afternoon performance of some random play thing that she did the flute in or something) so I wasn't just sat alone listening to my iPod :)


I got home and went straight out again to finish my paper round; I was literally running from house to house to get it finished! I got to this house with a big pond where all the ducks go and there was an oldish couple sat outside looking at the pond. I went across the drive to deliver the newspaper through the front door but the oldish man got up and offered for me to give the paper to him because he was nearer than the door. I gave it to him and then said thanks for taking it and he said,


"Say hello to the ducks."


I walked away sort of mumbling hi half to myself and half to the ducks; I was slightly discombobulated... (cool word, eh? Means confused.)


Finally I got home, went on my computer and typed this blog. I am currently looking forward to tea and watching Coronation Street afterwards YAY :D

My blog has a mind of its own.

So, I just came onto my blog to add a new post and the fonts have all changed.

>:(

I don't know why they changed. I have tried to get the old fonts back but if I change them back on the 'Customise' section, it doesn't show up right on the actual blog. So now I have to use really boring fonts.

I may try making a header with the blog title in it myself and then upload it so it can be all funky and awesome.

Hmmmmmm............

A Very German Day.

Today, my mum was working and my dad was away so neither of them could take me into school for my afternoon german exam. This meant that I had to go into school on the bus and wait for 4 hours for my exam. :'(

I spent 3 hours revising vocab solidly in the same seat in the library without any breaks. It was really weird because I didn't even get hungry, and I always get hungry when I get up that early for school.

Anyway, I got a sandwich from the canteen at lunch and I had about 2 bites of it before my exam just in case my tummy started rumbling during it (it's happened before... and more than once - not good).

I had the exam. Jeez... that was a tough one. I messed up on a lot of questions but I think I got some right at least, so... we'll see how I did on results day. Can't wait.

Then, as our german teacher had previously organised a lesson for the afternoon straight after this german listening exam to go over reading exam past papers, I went to the lesson because I had nothing better to do. And guess what we did... MORE GERMAN. Oh, joy of joys; I was ecstatic to be experiencing more of this beautiful, flowing language.
-_-

Then I went to the library to wait for the bus to arrive at school.

Today was a very german day.

The sky is pink!

My day today simply consisted of breakfast, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, bloggin', lunch, Youtube, bloggin', Facebook, tea, so much more Youtube and very little vocabulary revision for my german exam tomorrow. Ahh well...

But it just turned quarter to 10 ish and I looked out the window and this is what I saw:

THE SKY IS PINK. :D
I love the sky when it goes pink, just when the sun is setting. It is definitely one of my favourite times of the day. B-E-A-UTIFUL.

Trooping the silver TV on Youtube playing the guitar with glee. And hats.

This morning, as like every Saturday morning, I got up at 8am to go work in one of the local charity shops for a couple of hours as part of my Silver D of E award.


I came back home afterwards and watched part of the Trooping The Colour on TV for the Queen's official birthday, which was slightly repetitive but also strangely cool. I just really enjoy the guards' huge, black, furry hats. :D


I spent most of the rest of the day on Youtube and practising the guitar, instead of revising vocab for my german exam on Monday :/ I'll just do it tomorrow...


Then, seeing as there was not much on TV this Saturday night, I watched 5 episodes of the first season of Glee back to back from my box set. Sadly, it's time for bed now!

Another shopping trip

I filmed this video which includes a haul and some other stuff:




Enjoy and don't judge the guitar at the end... I'm a total novice. ;)

Vloggin' day

Not a bad forecast for today here in England. Better than yesterday, anyway, when I delivered my newspapers in the rain, fun times...


Planning on going shopping today while my mum is at the dentist getting her tooth fixed and then I should be filming a video later YAY!!! I've not done one for over a week due to extreme cramming for my exams. But I've got a few days before my next one on Monday so today is a vloggin' day!!!

It's Prom!!!

Sorry this prom post is a bit late but it's here now so... whatevs... ;)

I wasn't particularly looking forward to prom but it was really good. It was really chilled out so I didn't feel as uncomfortable as I thought I would.

The food was alright. The starter was broccoli soup with soggy cheesy bread floating in it 
-_- But the bread on the side dish was tasty :) The main was chicken leg and a bit of bacon and mash. There was a dish of vegetables plonked in the middle of our table so I had 3 carrots so my mum would be happy haha... Pudding was sticky toffee pudding which was yummy!

There was a speech by someone in our year then some jokey awards were given out, which was quite entertaining. I was nominated for the Most Likely To Become President, Most Likely To Win A Nobel Prize and Most Likely To Get Into Hogwarts awards, which I was quite pleased with. I didn't win any but my friend won the Hogwarts one - haha she deserved that one! True Potter fan! Then they showed a slideshow of photos from over the past 5 years of everyone in our year which was really nice. After that we went to the dancefloor and DJ area to have a party wooooooo!!!!! There was helium in the balloons so a load of us got them and made our voices squeaky which was hilarious!! Shame about the helium shortage on the planet...

Here's some photos of me and friends at prom:














AAAARRRRRRGGHH!!!!!
It's so hard to align photos on this blog... 


Anyways... it was good and if you are like I was and totally not looking forward to it and are completely adamant that you are not going at all ever, just go. It's a lot better than you think it will be. Well, my school's was...

Prom Preparation

So my school's prom for Fifth Years / Year 11s / 15-16-year-olds is tomorrow night.


Naturally, I spent all day yesterday shopping for stuff to go with my dress and all day today trying my dress on multiple times while my mum adjusted it for me (because I'm short) because I am so very organised and prepared.


I can't say I'm particularly looking forward to it. I'm not a bubbly, sociable person who likes dressing up in long dresses and having their hair done. I just can't bear the attention or the fuss.


However, I am getting ready beforehand with some friends and staying over at a friend's house too. So it should be alright, I guess.


I'll update you with how it went on Friday. Wish me luck.

The Olympic Torch

So, I went to Liverpool yesterday to see the Olympic Torch as it passed through the city.

It was pretty cool being only metres away from it. You can see some footage of the Torch in Liverpool on my latest video:


When I came home after the little trip out, my mum, dad, brother and I went to Nando's for a chicken burger and chips. I had a huge piece of very rich chocolate cake which made me feel so sick by the time I finished it haha...
