BEAUTIFUL DAYS

Although today has not been the best day of my life, as it included
getting drenched waiting for the college bus in the rain as it was super mega late,
doing a Biology test and messing up my Biology practical exam because
I am scientifically impaired,  it also involved singing along to the radio
 in my best friend's car after we decided to use another mode of transport,
drying our hair under the hand dryer in the college toilets and the sun has
finally come out.

So right now, if I look out the window, all I can see are gorgeous
bright blue skies, lush green plants in my garden and a big beaming sunshine.
Top that off with the nutella pancakes I had for lunch and what seemed to be
a bad day has now done a u turn, and it is so very beautiful :)

So to celebrate that, I found these photos of beautiful days for you to enjoy
and I made them super large and everything, because you know, it's a good day and
all that.

A MUCH NEEDED UGLY CHRISTMAS JUMPER PARTY

Hello everybody and festive greetings!

I'm writing to you today from a rather beautiful England,

minus the snow, as you'd expect.

I've been so busy this last week it's actually kind

of crazy, seeing as I'm not a person with whom you would associate

the word 'busy'.

When I find myself saying those sacred words 'I'm busy',

I must admit I widen my eyes in surprise that I, me, could

actually occupy that state of being

(man you can tell I take Eng Lit just by reading that last paragraph haha ^_^).

So, I hear you ask, what have I been doing then? Well since

last Wednesday I have.....

-Watched a college production of the Queen-tastic

WE WILL ROCK YOU WOOOOOH ROCK RULES!

-Had three university interviews, so I've been up to Newcastle,

Manchester and Sheffield, rockin' about in my black heels

feeling oh so very sophisticated despite also feeling

like I might collapse on the floor be-riddled with nerves.

-Made a friend on the train to Newcastle and we happen to know the

same people, and we shared some jelly snakes at her insistence.

She wouldn't take any of the grapes I offered in return though,

sad face :(

-Been working as a waitress (yes I can't believe it either) at some fabulous Chrimbo parties, dishing out food galore, nibbling on fudge, pannacotta, strawberries et al all whilst bashing out the groovy dance

moves as I go. So far I haven't dropped any plates 

(good girl right here) and I've handed out canapes too

BECAUSE I'M SO MATURE THESE DAYS.

AAHHHHHHHH.

-I literally just finished reading the amazing Harry Potter & The Order

of The Phoenix this morning, all 700 pages of it, having been glued to it

for a good part of a week and a half. 

I've taken it everywhere with me because it's just so addictive,

and it's a good job I've finished college now, because

this dilemma kept popping up:

what do I want to know more; do woodlice have a preference

for the light or dark, or how are Harry & co. getting on at

Hogwarts right at this very moment in time?

I think we all know the answer.

Woodlice.

But I can't find my copy of the Half Blood Prince anywhere so now

I'm stressing majorly *fans face and pouts dramatically*

-I had to do TWO TESTS IN THE SAME DAY and to top it all off

I'm sure I did crap so I was also majorly stressing out then as well,

and then on the bus home I couldn't stop laughing and

all this weirdness started pouring out of me and it culminated

with an intense discussion about the solar system and lemon slices.

This is what college does to you.

So I think you can agree that the perfect remedy

to all this madness was of course, 

AN UGLY CHRISTMAS JUMPER PARTY

and the photo you can see at the top of the page is my friends and

I having a proper naff moment posing in front of the christmas

tree in our awesome christmas jumpers.

(I'm second from the left and my jumper had a particularly groovy

christmas pud emblazoned on it, complete with 3D cherries)

And trust me, we had a ruddy awesome time.

We ordered chinese, we ate cocktail sausages and spring rolls,

some of my friends downed two bottles of rose (naughty naughty!) whilst some of us stuck to

juice & coke. We ate chocolate fudge cake, we watched

Love Actually (so cute!), laughed a  hell of a lot,

had a nice big girly chat and just let our hair down

and went ape shit crazy 

( but not too crazy- it was after all

a Wednesday)

And now I'm feeling all ready for Christmas, well kind of.

I'm going to whack on a film tomorrow night and snuggle up nice

and cosy, and what's double plus good, is

that the Harry Potter films are on ITV this week,

so all is good in the world now.

All is fabulous.

All is well.

All is good.

THE BEGINNING

So this post is kind of to do with love...

I'm kind of inviting you into the goings on in my heart.

Y'see, for the last year I've had a crush on

this guy at my college who just

happens to be an aspiring musician (ie. right up my street).

And obviously at the beginning

it was lovely and perfect and you have

every hope in the world. You're both looking at each

other all the time and thinking this could

really go somewhere and believing it really will.

But the problem was, we had no chance.

We were never introduced, we had no mutual friends or classes,

nothing nothing nothing, both shy, both a little awkward,

and the bottom line is, no matter how much

you convince yourself you do,

you don't really know each other.

And without that essential little component,

nothing can happen.

And as time went on, I wanted more, I wanted to find someone

who I actually spoke to and who made me feel like

something could really truly happen.

And so my feelings slowly burned less brightly,

and I didn't like him like I once did.

It was like hitting a brick wall again and again

and I knew things had to change,

no matter how lovely I thought he was.

And for the record, I still think

he's a lovely person- he's in my form now and

he makes me laugh, which I like (:

But the other day, something happened, and I found

that the loyalties of my heart kind of swapped.

And I closed the door on him.

And someone else kind of kicked open another...

Y'see, the last month or two

I've got to know this guy in one of my classes.
We sit next to each other, and I never dreamed I would get

on with him. But but but, we literally

get on like a house on fire.

It's kind of hard to learn when I'm sat

next to him because he always makes me laugh,

and I always make him laugh,

and we just get on so well and it's lovely

because I've never had that before.

I forget everyone else is there when I'm with him,

it's like it's just me an him, laughing away,

as usual, much to the annoyance

of my teacher.

Now I wouldn't say I fancy him,

but I would say that I have this affection towards him

that slowly gets a little stronger

every time I'm with him, and again,I've

never had anything like that before.

And sometimes I don't know if

he's feeling it too. Last lesson there was a moment

where I definitely felt like he might be, 

but I can't be sure, and I don't

want to rush or assume or mess it up,

because I love just knowing him and chatting to him.

So as I finish this awfully

long post off, I'll say that for me,

one thing came to an end, but, it

coincided with the beginning of another,

and I don't know what might happen,

but what I can say,

is I'm so, so happy I've found him.

DRIVING TO COLLEGE

So the other day one of my best friends,

who unlike me, has had driving lessons and taken her test and actually has her own car (s'cuse me whilst I cry), drove us to college.

And can I just say, IT WAS AWESOME.

As in, the best feeling ever, having no parents, nagging or moaning at you, no no no, just you, and four of your best friends, cruising down the streets 

and the motorways in the morning twilight....

We had Radio One blasting out the speakers, we

went from 30 mph, to 40, 50, 60, 70 and we were

all singing and laughing and feeling

100& COOL. 

It doesn't matter that the rest of the day

was kind of crappy or that it was 8 o'clock in the morning -ay yai yai- cause with mornings like that,

who cares what the rest of the day might hold?
