Hello! So sorry for neglecting you for the past couple of weeks, I truly am back for good now! (Except for when I go camping to a sheep shit filled field in Wales for four days at the end of the month but I'm trying not to think about that too much) Thank you so much to everyone who's read some of my previous posts while I've been revising my head off, I really appreciate it! :-)
So, the question I'm sure is on your lips (or not) : how did the exams go? Well, about standard for me, it could go either way, either a B or a C in Maths and Chemistry. The Maths paper was easy but I know I've got the two last questions completely wrong and I've made lots of mistakes so we shall see. The Chemistry paper wasn't as bad as I was expecting but I had to guess quite a few questions. I'll try not to be too hard on myself if I end up with Cs because I know that I revised as much as possible. There's always the resits!
I've only got the Geography exam left now, it's on Monday morning which is good as I have this weekend to revise then it's out of the way! I can relax for about a week after that then I have to go on camp to do Geography coursework, then I have a French speaking test.
Not much has happened apart from that since half-term, all I've been doing is eating, sleeping, going to school and revising! I've been sat in my bedroom on my laptop for hours everyday, whilst my mum brings me food and cups of tea to keep me going! I'll buy her an extra special birthday present to thank her and for not being at home much on her birthday as it's the TMB gig!
I've also got a cold and it's been constantly raining for a few days so I'm just trying to plough ahead and keep going until the summer where I will probably sleep for a week! One of the invigilators tripped up over a chair leg in the middle of the Chemistry exam which was rather amusing:) We've finally got my Dad's presents sorted for Father's Day tomorrow, my sister bought him two boxes of chocolates today and I bought him a mug too. My wrapping is terrible so I've hidden everything in a gift bag but I inherited my lack of wrapping skills from him so it can't be helped!
Right, shall post soon! Virtual hug for you all! Also could you follow @enablingevie on Twitter and read her blog? She's a little girl who's very poorly and needs your support! Thank you:-)

Also, congratulations to Amanda Redman for receiving an MBE! Very much deserved:) x

A very very long week.
I saved this post as a draft last night as I was too hyper to type but it seems to have deleted itself. Why thank you Blogger. (By hyper I don't mean on drugs/alcohol I mean listening to rock music after a day of revising.)
Anyway, hello! The original intention of this was to tell you about this past week before I return into exam hibernation but it's gone so fast I can't remember most of it! Mental exertion here I come...
On Saturday I bought one of those Nice and Easy foam hair dyes in 'Light Auburn' to cover up my terrible roots with and let my mum apply it in case I messed it up- it turned out bright red! I manically washed it and lots of dye came out so it looks much better now:) I took this photo after I first dyed it but it didn't capture the brightness and is actually what it looks like now:
I do like having this hair colour, I think it suits me 100 times better than my natural colour:)
On Monday I watched the Jubilee celebrations although I missed the flotilla thing- was it really terrible coverage from the Beeb? I was reading the Daily Mail this morning (very posh, I know) and there were so many people complaining about it! We watched ITV for both the Royal Wedding and the service on Tuesday morning so I can't really speculate too much.
Tuesday was the sleepover/movie marathon at Ella's house! We watched Insidious which was scary but not the worst thing I'd ever seen! Ella and I were hiding behind my pillow for a lot of it though as we are complete wimps when it comes to horror films! After that we watched the Inbetweeners Movie which I thought was really funny and then Black Swan which I love:) After that we watched Sucker Punch, which wasn't what I was expecting but I liked it nevertheless! I went to sleep after that because I'd stayed up 'til late for the past few days:)
Emily had to leave to go to the dentists later in the morning but Ella and I introduced Sasha to the comedy genius that is Miranda Hart then had a healthy dinner of giant white chocolate buttons, Doritos and various other sweets! (Just to clarify, I am a Northerner, therefore dinner=lunch and tea=dinner. Simples!)
I started my revision that afternoon for Maths and Chemistry and up to today have completed 3 Maths past papers and two Chemistry past papers, plus lots of MyMaths (the website of Satan himself) homework.
On Thursday I returned to Ella's house to walk with the Triple E group to Geoggers revision at school. The walk turned out to be a stroll down an alleyway dodging nettles and slugs, followed by climbing over a wall, fighting off plants, walking across a wet field then being the last to arrive and covered in grass. In the afternoon after spending 2 very dull hours in Geography, I went see Prometheus at the cinema with my mum, it was brilliant!
Today I'm continuing my revision although I've just spent an hour on Tumblr and writing this...story of my life! This morning I didn't even realise it was Friday already-only 5 and a half days until the next round of exams!

Happy Jubliee Weekend!
Hellooo! It's been a long week but a good one! Monday started off fairly depressing as it was our first English lesson since the exam, which our teacher admitted to buggering up and everyone got a bit annoyed. We all had to write angry letters to the headteacher- mine was very angry because if the sixth form I want to get into see that I've got a bad grade or I have to resit the exam then they won't let me study English Lit there!
The next English lesson wasn't as awkward as the day before as we've started comparing a poem to Macbeth and doing a bit of drama which is fun! In our performance I play a drug dealer and a 'bimbo' who is killed in a nightclub. It is a comedy piece though! We watched everyone else's performances today and they were so funny!
On Wednesday Emily and I had to take some prospective headteachers on a tour around the school! I was really nervous as I thought we'd have to take one candidate each but we got to go in a group of three which made it less awkward and it was actually quite good in the end. One of the people we liked made it to the final stage of interviews so I hope she gets the job:)
It's the half term now but it really doesn't feel like it seen as I have so much revising to do! I have Maths on the 13th, Chemistry on the 15th and Geography on the 17th!
We're also having a sleepover/film marathon at Ella's house on Tuesday which I'm really looking forward to! We've got the Inbetweeners movie and boxset, plus Black Swan (so I'm not the only one to be traumatised by the sex scenes).
I've just downloaded Google Chrome because Safari is sloooow on my laptop. I feel like I'm betraying my beloved Safari but Google Chrome is fast and I have a Cath Kidston theme so it's pretty! I also had my fringe cut today so I can see properly now!
I hope everyone has a very British Jubliee weekend and enjoys their long weekend! God save the Queen and all that jazz! Thank you so so much for reading:)
