Well this question tends to have many answers for many different reasons. But that is not what I am referring to today. Maybe some other time when I am going through a moment of self-hatred as I tend to do that often. But I digress. In this post I am referring to a change that has happened and I have no idea why.
Today was the second time I have chosen to do work outside of school, without anyone telling me to do it. And if you know me this is extremely weird, because I barely do work I am supposed to do. But yet I have been doing work on my own, which is a first. So it got me thinking if something was wrong with me. Because why have I decided to change all of a sudden for no apparent reason. Maybe my subconscious is trying to tell me something. Like maybe I'm dying and it wants me to be more productive and achieve something positive in my final moments.
However I doubt that. I think I am just bored and it got to the point where I think instead of just moping around I should think more about my future and do something to help it. Mainly because my whole job hunt isn't go so well. However I am certain I do not want to go to Uni so my job search better get somewhere soon.
Anywho, it's late, I have school tomorrow and I am tired so I am going to end this here. But yeah you should all be proud of me that I am actually doing something good for once. Maybe doing the work now means that I will be less stressed when it comes to exams, and that sounds pretty good.
See you in the 'morrow!
Come with me on a journey to embrace the fact that I am Mad and a Little Bit Weird, and that is what makes me ME. Who knows you might discover something about yourself too?

Spiders are Nope!
Sorry I didn't post yesterday, there was a bit of an incident. I was all ready, about to write my post when I noticed a massive fucking spider in my room, and the next thing I knew it disappeared so I just got the fuck out of there and went and slept on the sofa. So I could not post for I left my laptop in the dreaded room of death.
Today I am braving the room but I have not seen the spider yet (knock on wood) So I am just going to imagine it left my room last night/ during today. Sometimes I am not scared of spiders, there are a certain kind I can deal with, like small tiny ones, or those really stick thing ones, that just tend to hang upside down in a corner of the room. However I was taking a shower the other day and one was crawling towards me and I was like NOPE! Can't handle that shit.
Then there was the one in my room, which was big and thick and so terrifying I cried when I saw it move in the slightest way. When it disappeared I practically ran out of the room, like NOPE! When I re-entered earlier I was inspecting certain areas before I felt comfortable to set up camp.
So yeah sorry I didn't post, but it was really just going to be a post about my day at school, where Jessie and I watched this awesome film in media, then during lunch we really freaked out Amy with this video I saw on Youtubers React. And finally I had psychology where I missed Claire and we started to watch this documentary about a chimp who they raised like a human. After school was a surprise trip to the city with Hal where we got my dad a father's day present, and Hal bought me a shake :P
See that wasn't very interesting. You'll forgive me for it I'm sure.
See you in the 'morrow!

Gamer Girl
I don't know what it is, but for some reason I really want to play a lot of games. However, these are games I cannot play, mainly because I do not own them. Like I am really in the mood to play GTA, but can't. And that's unfair. I don't even have money to buy the game to play it. So it's just ugh.
I also really want to play online games, like Prop Hunt and TTT, which I see youtubers play, but the main thing is I have no-one to play with, cause I will need to get a good portion of my friends to get the games so we can play them together. That is just too much hassle, but it is something I am really in the mood to do.
Then there is now going to be the problem of time, where I'm going to want to play a bunch of games (those that I actually do own) over the next few weeks, but can't because I am restarting school, and will either be at school, doing work for that. So I will have no time for video games. Unless I give up my other spare time, like that I spend watching youtube or talking to people on facebook. But I like doing that too much so I guess videogames are going to have to wait.
Damn I thought I could stretch this out into a reasonably lengthy blog, but that is all I can really say on the matter. See I didn't do a lot today, so I had to think of something else, and this was all I could come up with. Oh Well.
See you in the 'morrow!

Slightly Bull****!
Today was nice I guess. For some reason I had to go into 6th form and attended an assembly and if I did not go they would not let me into A2. Which is slightly bullshit. But I went cause I'd like A2 to be an option if I get the grades.
So I was on the bus and got a text from Emma who apparently was also on the bus but she sat on top and I sat on the bottom and never knew until she got off and we were like hey. On the way we spotted Amy walking to Lish's and was like forget Lish we are better. Love you really Lishill <3
At school we spoke about things (cannot remember anything) then headed to the hall for the pointless assembly. Why was it pointless? Because they mainly talked about Uni applications. I don't want to go to Uni! I have already made a plan, you know the one which I thought of when I was in the tub. So I was just sitting there bored, being given leaflets and was like this isn't going to help me. Then they sent us to a computer room for an hour to research courses and I found none that I wanted to do in the area I wish to be in. Because I don't want to be far away. I like it here.
We also had to answer a questionnaire on our year 12 experience and I was like I have no idea for half of them. Then Maddy told us the devastating news that she cannot continue to be in our psychology class because one lesson will clash with further maths which is slightly bullshit!
The only good thing about today was that I got to see my friends after a while. So that was nice. And I got juice. I like juice.
See you in the 'morrow!

Well Done Guys
I like how I said I was going to come back and then I do not blog the next day. Well done Elli. Well done. Anywho, my reasoning was I was out and had no time to blog. So yeah. Just deal with it.
Yesterday we were celebrating my best friend/sister's birthday (even though it is actually her birthday today) HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSIE!!! It is also Connor's birthday today cause our group of friends just love to share birthday's so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Anywho... I got to Jessie's at 12 and Eddie was there and they were playing borderlands. Then several minutes later Tom snuck into the house and scared the hell out of Eddie, and provided the group with energy drink. After this we were all wondering where Momo was. He was late, because he was making food. This meant we did not leave the house til gone 2 for our picnic.
So we walked to Waterloo Park, in the heat and it was UGH. The sun is just evil. So we spent a few minutes deciding where to sit, and found a nice spot in the shade and gots all the picnic stuff. There was this band playing at the park so Eddie, Tom and I went to go dance to it. We tickled Jessie a bit, and ate some food. Then we went to go look at tadpoles and froglets and they were so cute, and tickled as they nibbled on my fingers.
Then we left and went to a park with a zip wire and went on that and then on a turtle swing where Jessie and I got super dizzy. After this we trekked back in the heat. HOW COULD IT BE SO HOT? I saw Hal on the bus and waved. Then I lost my hat and had to walk all the way back for it. That was not fun.
We got back to Jessie's at about 5 then had tea and cakes. I drank a fuck load of tea and ate a fuck load of mini jam tarts. We tried to teach Giancarlo how to be British by letting him try scones, but he messed up putting the Jam in it, he put it on top instead. Well done Giancarlo. Well Done. Then we skyped Charles for the remainder of the night, watched youtube, watched in the flesh (got really sad by the ending :'( ) had a late night McDonald's said Happy Birthday to Jess as it turned midnight, and then went to sleeps. I then woke up at 7 this morning got given tea walked to school Got home to a pizza. Yum.
See you in the 'morrow!

The End of AS
I'm sorry guys I have cheated you. When I wrote that post a while ago explaining how I was going to be more relaxed with my posts while I had exams, I meant to restart the normal daily blog once they were over. And if you may or may not have noticed my last exam was actually on Monday, and since then I was not providing you with the correct service. I am sorry, but I just needed a break from everything. But I am back now!
So what to talk about in this post. Well I might as well talk about the end of exams, and thus the end of AS. It has been a pretty fast year. Looking back I'm wondering how I even managed to learn enough to think I did well in the exams. Which I believe I did. I mean I don't think I got high grades, but I feel I have done enough to get to A2. Which I really want to do, because this year has been so fun, yeah it's had it's downsides, but mostly it has been fun, and I have gained some great memories. I have also made some new friends.
But seriously where did the year go? It felt like only yesterday I sat in my first biology lesson, labeling parts of the cardiovascular cycle and just sitting quietly in the corner wishing I had someone to talk to. Then later that day going to Dixons with Giancarlo and finding the best cake tin in the world. It was shaped like a man in his boxers ;) And now it is all over for me. I am starting A2 next week, that should be fun, and hopefully I can continue it onto next year. I have a better plan for if I do though. I am going to write notes in class, then go home and type up the notes, and combine them with notes from the textbooks. Then I am going to print that out, highlight the important stuff and make a revision card from it. Then when it comes to tests and mock exams and real exams I will already have folders and revision cards set up to work from and then maybe exam season won't be as stressful.
I'm feeling a little scatty right now so I'm sorry if this isn't making sense. I should stop now, cause if not I am just going to confuse you. Besides there isn't much I can really talk about from my first year at 6th form because you know about it already as I have blogged about it. So yeah...See you in the 'morrow!

IT HAPPENED!
Normally I do not write an extra post, but today you get one because I have great news! I HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN MORE PAGEVIEWS THAN LISH!!!!!! I told you I'd do it, and do it I have.
I would like to thank you all for my victory as it would not have been accomplished without you. I would mainly like to thank Connor who tried to boost the views more because it was for a good cause.
I never usually say good things about Connor, because there is too much conflict, as we are opposites. However Connor does have his moments. For he is a loyal friend, and he can be funny, and generous and so I do feel a little bad for the way he is treated sometimes. But thank you for the help Connor!
And the rest of you are probably just bored. Either way...THANK YOU!
See you in the 'morrow!

My Week of Weird
As most of my blogs recently have been about Job searching, I feel like I owe you something different. So I shall talk about my week!. I don't know why I just put a full stop after the exclamation mark. I do that a lot. My brain is just programed to add full stops even though I already have an accepted way to end the sentence. So a lot of my time is spent deleting the extra punctuation point because I am weird like that. ANYWHO....
We'll start with Saturday: It was a kind of lazy day. Hal and I watched some tv, mainly Supernanny and Wife Swap USA, because they are always more crazy. We have been laughing, over the rest of the week, about how this woman pronounced the name Tyler, and she believed that he was an alien. It was pretty funny.
Sunday: I went to Hemsby with the famalam. When there, we ate some chips and I also had a slush and some bubblegum ice cream which is soo good! Then Hal and I were shocked by how they replaced the fun house! I know! What is this madness? Then we played on the arcades and I won like four Little Big Planet figurines. I SHALL GET THEM ALL!
Monday: Went to school and revised for my Biology exam. I offered to babysit Maddy's boyfriend on Friday, spoke with people about things. Found out about my second interview.Had my exam, which went ok... Then was given a TCO by Maddy (which I demolished in minutes) and missed the late bus so walked to the bus stop with Emily.
Tuesday: Most of the day was spent at home, watching youtube.
Wednesday: The day of my solo interview, I was nervous and went to the city with Hal, had a nandos, bought Jessie her birthday present, and got me some new headphones. Then sat in the food court discussing my interview. Then I had the interview, which I thought went pretty good but apparently not, then Home.
Thursday: I stayed at home all day. Felt a bit ill. Watched Tv and Youtubes. Made some pasta. Thursday was so much fun.
Friday(Today): I went to 6th form for no reason other than to babysit Maddy's Boyfriend Tom (TOO MANY TOM'S IN MY LIFE (which we discussed today)) We went to the park and just sat on the swings and the guys were being strangely feminine. Then we walked back to meet with Maddy after her Maths exam. I saw Claire who I have not seen for more than two weeks :'( Then Claire and Amy went on the late bus, and I stayed with Connor, Maddy and Tom just talking about random things. Then we left to go to the shop and I was waving at Amy and Claire then the late bus driver thought I was waving to him which was awkward. At the shop we got some ice creams and I ended up kissing Maddy on the cheek, which did not make Tom happy, and now I am home, blogging!
So that was my week. It was quite enjoyable but it went unusually fast. Anywho, bye for now!
See you in the 'morrow!

Wednesday: The day of my solo interview, I was nervous and went to the city with Hal, had a nandos, bought Jessie her birthday present, and got me some new headphones. Then sat in the food court discussing my interview. Then I had the interview, which I thought went pretty good but apparently not, then Home.
Thursday: I stayed at home all day. Felt a bit ill. Watched Tv and Youtubes. Made some pasta. Thursday was so much fun.
Friday(Today): I went to 6th form for no reason other than to babysit Maddy's Boyfriend Tom (TOO MANY TOM'S IN MY LIFE (which we discussed today)) We went to the park and just sat on the swings and the guys were being strangely feminine. Then we walked back to meet with Maddy after her Maths exam. I saw Claire who I have not seen for more than two weeks :'( Then Claire and Amy went on the late bus, and I stayed with Connor, Maddy and Tom just talking about random things. Then we left to go to the shop and I was waving at Amy and Claire then the late bus driver thought I was waving to him which was awkward. At the shop we got some ice creams and I ended up kissing Maddy on the cheek, which did not make Tom happy, and now I am home, blogging!
So that was my week. It was quite enjoyable but it went unusually fast. Anywho, bye for now!
See you in the 'morrow!

And It's Over
In a previous post I mentioned how I had gotten a second interview. So yesterday I got all dressed up, after being taken for a lovely Nando's dinner with my sister, and I went to the solo interview.
All the questions I had prepared for were not asked, but despite that fact I felt it went well, and everyone, including myself, felt pretty confident that I could finally get a job. But you might have guessed from the title that this was not the case.
This morning I received an email, where they spelt my name incorrectly, that I was not successful. Now to some people that is ok, and move on. But for me it's just ugh, cause when I get rejected it just lowers my self esteem, and I go into depressive mode where I feel I'm just worthless.
I even cried a little bit, because I thought if I couldn't get the job I considered myself perfect for, why would anyone else want me? I tried so hard and got nothing. Now that's either cause the other candidates were just better, and if so fair dose but I'm still sad about it, cause I really wanted it. But I guess I'm just going to have to pick myself up and start the job hunt.
See you in the 'morrow!

And the Job Journey Continues....
HEY! So today has been pretty good for one main reason which I am going to explain however you may all assume from the title what the news is. You are correct. I am pregnant. With a job interview. My job journey is continuing! Yay! As you may or may not know I had a group interview at Build-A-Bear and I wasn't too sure if I was going to be asked back because I had not yet gotten the promised email.
So I was at school, just casually in the study center revising for an exam, when Amy was like hey cause she needed a small distraction, so i decided to check my phone whilst chatting. When I noticed I had two missed calls from my mum. At this point I was worried that something bad had happened, so I went outside and called her back. And she told me that Build-A-Bear called to organise a second interview! Success! I am that one step closer to getting a job!
I called Build-A-Bear when I got home and my next interview is on Wednesday at 5 so wish me luck guys! Not that you all probably care. But I care, cause I really want this job. Not just for the money (even though that would be great) but because I just think it would be fun, and I'd gain experiences, and I would like the distraction away from school. Cause after reading Amy's blog working sounds fun and is a nice escape. And I don't think I can get stressed there because I'd be surrounded by toys and children and a positive atmosphere.
So I am now very excited, I just hope I don't mess up :/
See you in the 'morrow!

My Interesting Interview
Hey, so I had my interview yesterday (sorry I didn't write about it then, but I got distracted by things and people. But anywho. For some reason I woke up at like 6 and I was like WAA! Cause I felt like if I stayed awake I would be tired for my interview at 5pm so I forced myself to take naps but they weren't really working out, so I just gave up and watched tv.
I then showered and packed and prepared and watched more tv. Then I went to the city to get some shoes because all shoes I own don't look professional. I then went to BK and saw Amy working (I got my usual) and she gave me this drawing of a bear and it said good luck on it, she had it already prepared! It was so cute and made me feel a lot better (thank you Amy!) Then as I still had time I wandered around the city, and witnessed this random violent attack.
I felt insanely overdressed, cause when I finally got into the shop others, there for the interview, were dressed slightly more casual. Ugh. But I kept a smile on my face to show enthusiasm. The interview was at Build-A-Bear and it was with a group of other people and we were told to pick a toy and then dress them, as well as saying amazing facts about ourselves, then the rest was mainly about how the shop ran and when we'd be available. Overall I think it went pretty well, but everyone there was pretty much on the same level. I was the only one who asked a question so I feel that may have got me noticed.
They said they would email about a 1-1 interview, but I haven't gotten anything yet, but it hasn't even been 24 hours so I'm not going to be all :/ about it. I will get one when I get one, and if I don't then I am grateful for the opportunity to go to the group interview.
After this I went home, ate an ice cream, youtubed, facebooked and slept.
See you in the 'morrow!

I GOT AN INTERVIEW!!!
I GOT A JOB INTERVIEW!!!! Yay! It was a year today I had my first interview for a job (at Primark) and they rejected me but never told me why. I wish I knew why so that way I could try and work on it. But since that (which was my first ever interview) I have never had an interview again despite the hundreds of job applications.
Not only this but my interview is at a company which I have now applied to like 7 times, so SUCCESS! Finally they have considered me! Maybe they are insanely desperate. Either way. I was very excited to get the interview, I practically screamed when I hung up on the phone, then Hal told me that I didn't properly hang up. Let's pray they didn't hear me. Unless they enjoyed my enthusiasm.
Anywho my interview is tomorrow so today I have been preparing for it by thinking of questions to ask, doing some company research and preparing answers for possible questions they might I ask. I have also been finding a suitable outfit to wear to make me look professional. But I have been doing all this instead of revising, so have I made a good decision? Hmm maybe, I still have 4 more days to revise and less than 24 hours before my interview, and I think a job is a little more important to me right now so I think I am using my time wisely.
I'm not going to get too excited about this though, because it is just an interview, and there is still a high chance I will not get the job. Therefore I have to be realistic. However I guess slight optimism can do no harm. I'm employable right? Well you wont answer because for all I know you don't even exist. But I feel you should all wish me luck for my interview tomorrow. I shall let you know how I think it went. Then later how I actually did.
See you in the 'morrow!

Half of my Half Term
Hey there! Sorry I didn't blog yesterday, things got a bit ugh but yeah I am back! So in this post I shall talk about my Half Term so far, and probably about what I'm going to do.
So mainly I have been revising for my upcoming biology exam, it's going ok, I'm not quite confident enough yet but I have a few more days and a few different techniques to try out so hopefully I can do enough to get a respectable grade. I think my other exam went good though, and I got an A in the course work, so I need to not completely fail this 50% to make all that not go to waste.
Ok now onto non revision side. Mainly I have been watching Tv and Youtube, and I finally finished my book I've been wanting to finish since I started reading it 3 months ago, but never had the time because of school. On Sunday I went to the city with the parents and I wandered around with Hal for a bit before she went to work, then I went in Primark with mum and got a new top and vest and tights and shiz. Then went we went to get served I realised there was a chance I could get served by Jamie, and I was buying underwear. This would have been awkward. But it's ok guys I didn't get served by him YAY!
On Monday I mainly revised.
Moving onto Tuesday (yesterday for those of you not smart enough to figure it out) I went last minute bowling with Hal and her friend Hannah. On the way there Hal hit her head on the side of the bus then demonstrated how she hit it by whacking her head again, which made me laugh. Once we got there we found Hannah and realised we couldn't play a game until like 5 (it was 3 at this point) so Hal treated us to a pub meal. Then we bowled somehow I didn't come last because that went to Hannah. I came second .Then by some miracle Hal (who had not been bowling for like 3 years) won! Then we went home.
Today I did more revision and relaxed a bit and blogged obviously. Tomorrow I am planning on going for a pub meal with the gramps and then do more revision, Friday is also going to be primarily revision, and the weekend is going to be mainly revision
So that is Half of my Half Term (and pretty much the rest) See you in the 'morrow!

Lazy Revision
Why Hi, just thought I'd start with a little rhyme to keep you all interested. Basically this is going to be my distraction away from revision so it may not make that much sense as I will just pick up on random topics just to keep me writing, well typing. So I still have one exam left. Biology Unit 2 which is worth like 50% of my final grade so I am a little panicked about it because I look at how big the section is in my biology book and I don't think I will be able to remember it all. AAK!
On the brightside however, it is half term, so it means I get to spend the majority of the week purely revising for this one exam, hopefully meaning I can then gain a good grade from it. :) Smiles all round. The exam is also in the afternoon so I can cram in some revision on the day as well. However, right now I am not motivated to revise. I have done some. But it is incredibly lazy and I am not actually sure I am taking anything in. I think it's cause I stayed up late last night and woke up late so I'm still really tired. Maybe if I go back to a kind of school schedule I will feel more active and then can actually do something productive. Hmm maybe, but I'm still going to try and revise now even if I'm not motivated, because I guess it is better than nothing.
And I know what you are thinking. you are wasting your half term revising, when you could be seeing friends or chillaxing. Well after my exams I will have 10 days of no school, so that will essentially be my chillax time. Even though I have kind of been chillaxing today. Why do I keep using the term chillax? AAKK! Revision is really getting to me.
See you in the 'morrow!

Bathtub Resolutions!
Hi Everybody! (Hi Doctor Nick!) I used to love The Simpsons I'd watch it all the time with the family. Anywho... I've taken another short break, and I feel kind of bad, but I have been busy and stressed and you just don't want to be dealing with me when I am like that. But I'm back now, well for today at least.
So recently I've had exams that have gone ok and I have restarted the stress of job searching. Mainly because I have gotten to the point where I would like money to buy things, and do more socialising activities. But my main reason is I want to start thinking about my future.
At around 17 most people start to think about leaving home, and despite the fact I love living here because I have the loving dependence of my mother and father I would quite like to move out and have a place of my own. I say of my own there is no way I'd actually live on my own, the pressure of that scares me. I mean what if you live alone and something happens, there is no-one in the next room to save you or go down with you. Plus living with friends and/or others sounds pretty fun. but to do all this I need money. Which I'll need to save. Hence why I need a job. So far I have applied to like 6 so hopefully I can get at least 1 interview.
But this got me thinking. And where did I do this thinking? In the tub. It's where I tend to do all my important life decisions. Sometimes I just sit in there when I am not taking a bath, to think. And other times I can't because my cat sleeps in there and I don't wish to disturb him. Back to my original thought. Whilst in the tub I got thinking about my future and thought. Yeah I'd like a stable job but in 10 years time do I really want to be working in Mcdonalds? Do I really want that to be my career choice? So I remembered my thoughts of long ago before I started A-Levels, back in the day I was all set out to become apart of some sort of social care.
However, a lot of forms of social care involve degrees and graduate certificates gained from attending Uni, which really is not part of my plan as I feel I will get too stressed out from the pressure of doing well then, let alone the pressure I will have now of getting the grades to get into Uni. So after some research I found some career choices where you do not need Uni qualifications, but you just need to start out volunteering and then they can train you further. I HAVE FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE! YAAAAY!
So once I finish my A-levels, I am going to spend a year working in some form or retail or waitressing to earn some money and just be better prepared financially, and maybe just have a bit of fun with my life, like partying and shizzle. Then I am going to look into volunteering and training to become a health care assistant. And then do that for however long I want to do that, or however long I'm allowed to, depending on other factors.
Therefore I bestow this information onto you: if you are ever feeling lost about a certain path to chose, just spend some time in the tub thinking it over, and something will come to mind. :)
See you in the 'morrow!
