TMB here we come!

We have the tickets!! Ella bought them before they went on sale with 02 priority moments:)

We're standing rather than sitting to get a better view, I'm debating whether or not take some slippers as my feet will be killing from queueing! On the plus side all under 14s have to buy a balcony ticket so at least we don't have to stand with them, I'm still worried about getting trampled by a giant though! I'm only 5"2 and a half so I'll have to wear stilts with my slippers!

Emily and I we're watching a video in Science which told you what to do to grow (she's even shorter than me), apparently you have to drink lots of water, exercise and eat healthily-that's not going to happen! I'm addicted to tea, quite lazy and I live on chocolate and cake.

We're all buying t-shirts for the concert, I'm getting a black one with the logo in silver foil, then later I'm going to buy a canvas bag with the logo on too:)

I'm trying to do some Maths homework at the moment, I got an A on the Circle Theorems project that took me ages but now she wants us to prove the theorems again as most of us didn't do it properly, by using the lessons on MyMaths, the world's worst website. I copied off MyMaths for the original homework so I don't know what to do now! I think I might just do it tomorrow as I can't be bothered today, I've just being watching TV since I got home from town. Shall post soon!

Super stressful yet amazing week!

Afternoon everyone! I have to say this week has been one of the most stressful yet brilliant weeks, there's been so much to do and think about!

I've been wondering about whether I should risk taking the Maths resit (I apologise for my indecisiveness,guys and gals, I can't help it!) because you have to stick with the grade you get the second time around, even if it is lower. Plus I've had a lot of homework which either take forever or are difficult. But here's the good news...

WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE MIDNIGHT BEAST!!! (And yes this definitely merits capital letters) The gig is on the 4th October at the O2 academy in Leeds and we're attempting to get some tickets on Saturday when they go on sale. The only problems I had was the fact that my mum was in a terrible mood when I wanted to ask her and the concert is on her birthday. But I succeeded with my persuasiveness and was a bit sketchy about the details and she let me go! Emily, Sasha and Ella are coming, and we might see Georgia and Ellea who are from our school and are lovely TMB fans there as well! I just hope we can get tickets as I have a  feeling they'll sell out quickly! I couldn't get to sleep the other night as I was planning what to wear- and yes, I know I'm sad.

Today at English revision I invented a new flavour combination- eat a Bourbon biscuit and a yellow Skittle sweet at the same time and prepare for amazingness! It does sound strange but it's really nice. Honestly...

Final thought of the day: the more stressed we are, the more we pull together and the more laughs we have. Seriously cute but true!

P.S- I'll post on Saturday to let you know if we actually manage to get tickets, fingers crossed for us!

Very speedy blog post!

Hello to you! I've just got back from my dad's house and I'm waiting for the new Jason Mraz CD, Love is a Four Letter Word, to upload to my iPod so I can listen to it whilst I'm having a relaxing bath:) I've had to take my beloved Horrible Histories Savage Songs episodes off so I have enough space though!

Today we went for a carvery in Leeds and it was gorgeous! The gammon was just amazing (gammon is my favourite meat) and you could have unlimited ice cream afterwards! You even got to work the ice cream machine yourself! I love that restaurant.

Scratch the first part, I've just had to take all the TV episodes off my iPod, even the Ashes to Ashes series finale! Oh and now it can't find the artwork. Brilliant work, iTunes.

Right, must dash, The Voice is on at half past seven!

Maths results...

Well...I got a B in my Maths exam! I know I said that I wouldn't retake if I got a B, but I'm seriously going to revise and try to get an A. Thankfully my teacher isn't forcing us to retake but I know if I don't make any silly mistakes and the paper has less probability questions I can do it! I got 88 points on the uniform marks scale thing which I don't really understand but I think that's a mid B.  Plus all the colleges and universities I want to go to need you to have pretty much all A/A* grades (In Science I'm claiming that we had problems with staffing, which we did.)

So at the weekend I will buy sticky notes and folders to help me revise, plus the new Jason Mraz CD! So excited to listen to it!! I'm currently listening to Marina and the Diamonds on Spotify, pretty impressed so far, I especially like Primadonna:)

Halfway through a busy week!

Hello to you! I've been busier than expected other the past few days, but they've been okay:)

Geography revision on Monday was absolute hell. As soon as we walked in it smelt of smoke from all the chavs so I could sense things weren't going to go well from the off. The first half went pretty quickly as we were just going over things we did last term, but all the chavs decided they were going to mess around in the second half and the teacher got really annoyed as they were just being complete idiots whilst the rest of us were trying to learn. Seriously though, why even turn up if you're just going to mess around?

Tuesday was pretty normal although I was really worried about getting my Maths results back. The come back tomorrow but I don't feel that nervous about it now, que sera sera and all that!

Today I got the mark from the History coursework about China that I spent twelve hours slaving over-I got 40 out of 50, which is an A (just), so I need to make a few tweaks to get a couple of extra marks to make sure I definitely get my target when its moderated.

So...tomorrow is Maths results day...think happy thoughts for me! I always think I'm cursed when people wish me good luck so happy thoughts will have to do:)

Confessions of a Potterhead.

Bonjour! I'm super happy today because I found a copy of the Busted CD that I used to have before they split up, that I so desperately wanted back! even better, I bought it for £1.25 in a charity shop, rather than spending £8.99 on iTunes!  I had a bit of a fangirl in the middle of the shop and then I couldn't stop smiling afterwards-very nerdy! I thought it might be scratched but I put it on to my iPod straight away and it works fine!

I had a bit of a DVD marathon yesterday, I watched Black Swan (thankfully whilst my mum was out) and then Bridesmaids in the afternoon. Black Swan was absolutely brilliant, especially the ending, and I loved it despite the terribly crap quality of my laptop! Bridesmaids has some really hilarious parts but I'd have found it funnier if I could hear it over the sound of the tumble dryer and my sister wondering in and out of the room! The dress fitting scene was the best:)

Also I swear I will move to London when I'm 18, I want a place at Queen Mary University of London because they do the degree course I want and it looks amazing! I know it's ridiculously expensive but I'll manage as I'm good at finding bargains!

Pottermore is open for all now, but I was lucky enough to get in last year. I have to say I was quite disappointed with the whole thing to be honest, but I'll tell you the story of my experience.

It was in the holidays and I couldn't get to sleep so I thought bugger it, I'll stay up and try to get in. So there I was until two am, checking my phone every 5 minutes to see if there was a clue. I went to sleep until six am and checked my phone, still no clue. It got to 10 am and I checked my laptop just in case- finally there was a clue! I frantically flicked through my old battered copy of the Chamber of Secrets, praying the answer wasn't on one of the missing pages, until I found the answer and entered it. Then I was directed to this website that had pictures from the films. I'll admit, pure adrenaline was pumping through me at this point, it was pretty exciting stuff! I was panicking until I realised that I had to click on the 'magical quill' and that would take me to Pottermore! I was given a choice of five names, so I picked ChaserDream74 and started to explore the first book. The best parts were getting your wand and being put in a house, although I can't remember what my wand is like and Hufflepuff was the last house I wanted to be in. So I finished the first book and that was it. I discovered I couldn't make potions for the life in me and there was nothing much else to do. I hope they'll open Chamber of Secrets soon, but I won't get all fangirly about it even though it is one of the best books in the series and I love the plot.

So that was my Pottermore experience, and this is probably the longest blog post ever! Thank you again if you've read any of my posts, you're the best!!

Happy (late) Easter!

Hello my lovelies! Hope you all enjoyed the Easter that didn't feel like Easter! I cannot believe the sheer amount of food I have consumed over this weekend; I've gone to sleep feeling sick from chocolate for two nights in a row now!

Also I've come to the conclusion that my sister grows stranger by the day- two minutes ago I heard a shout of "I've found Brian!!" then had this thing thrown at me:
If anyone knows what it is, answers on the back of a postcard please!

Tomorrow I'm going shopping with Emily and Ella in the hope that we can get some cheap Easter eggs! I think we'll be too late though, the supermarket was absolutely packed today, I was very annoyed at some people's lack of trolley driving skills!

I've finished all of my homework for the holidays but I still have to start revision for the exams. I looked through my Maths textbook yesterday but I couldn't really be bothered, then I saw a question that said "Calculate the density of a brick" and decided that was the final straw.

My mum's just made me a cup of tea and brought me Hob-Nobs (the best biscuits ever) so I'll be off now!

The full fringe returns...

  Hello to my lovely readers! I just haven't been in the mood for writing over the past few days, I've been feeling really tired and lethargic:( But I feel a bit better now, I have that Friday feeling! Bridlington was good, we were even sat on the beach for a while! We came home the day before it snowed though...

Alton Towers was also amazing (alliteration!) except from Nemesis Sub-Terra. We queued for over an hour and the goo stuff from the seats has stained my jeans! Seriously, don't bother going on it if you're there, go on something better like Air or Oblivion! I was slightly worried as all the rides seemed to break down while we were there, thankfully not while we were on them though!

Today I've had my long llama fringe (as my sister called it) cut into a full fringe! I used to have one when I was younger but hopefully I look better this time around! I finally got bored of my old one in Bridlington because it was in my face all the time. I can't post a picture for some reason, I'll try next time:)

The days in this holiday have just blended into one, I realised today it's Friday and I've still got four pieces of homework and revision for six exams to do!

I hopefully will post soon, thank so much for reading!!
