HAPPY NEW YEAR! (Despite me being two weeks late into the year..) Wow, A LOT has changed since I last posted. It's been more than four months and man, what a four months it has been. I last posted in September, 'twas the beginning of year 13, the beginning of everyone turning 18 (including myself), and going out basically every weekend. (Though I will say, I didn't go out last weekend, and am not again this weekend. Seems like a record for me.) In that time, I also applied to uni, recieved an offer, rejections and also interviews. We booked our girls' holiday, (COUNTDOWN: 165 DAYS TIL ZANTE!) It's safe to say, it's been an eventful four months.
The last time I updated I was quite sad and I did have reason to be. I (think) I'm over it (or maybe I'm just trying to convice myself I am..) I really don't know how to update about EVERYTHING, so I'm just going to type it as a list of the events that have happened..

13.09.14 Seren's birthday: Was incredibly enjoyable. Had a lift home and I bought Seren a McDonald's because I didn't manage to buy her a drink out..
25.09.14 Sixth form party: First sixth form party. Good night once again, though my ID didn't work despite turning 18 in three days.
27.09.14 My birthday with fammo: Celebrated my 18th with the family with a get together at home. Then experience Wind Street for the first time with a limo being our ride.

16.10.14 Sixth form fancy dress: Dressed up as Barbie for an incredibly good laugh with everyone.
18.10.14 Random night out: We were meant to go to Hywel's, ended up just going into town. I kind of got incredibly drunk..
21.10.14 London art trip: Went to London with art to visit the V&A and Saatchi galleries. Good day out with some of the girls and saw some amazing art.
25.10.14 Extremely random night out: Got convinced by Sinead and Seren to join them out. Glad I did because ended up having a mini Nantgaredig reunion. Also spoke to some people who I hadn't since Summer..
29.10.14 Sian and Sara's party: The Schiavone's had a house party and I was really glad I went. I enjoyed meeting people who I hadn't before and becoming closer with people I had only spoken to a couple of times.

Thinking Out Loud ♫

Wow I have SUCKED at keeping this updated the past couple of months. When I last posted, it was May and I was in the middle of exams. Now it's already August and results is in a couple of days. Crazy how times flies. Sooo much has happened, seriously. Let's update.
May-June: My exams came and went. It took time, but I did get through them all. At the time I thought they weren't too bad, but thinking about it now, I know I'm gonna have to resit pretty much every exam. It's my own fault, as I know I can do so much better. The first weekend I had free, I went to Capel Iwan. Now last time I said I liked barn dances and would still go, but after that one, I don't know. I'm not sure if I'll feel like spending that much money again.
July: School became boring. Like, REALLY boring. Pointless. Everyday I went in, it was only for a half day. Hardly anyone was in. I really really don't remember if anything important happened after exams at school. Like I said, it was pointless. End of July arrived and that's when school finally ended, and the summer holidays began.
First up, was YPV. Instead of going for the whole four nights, we only went for two. Kinda wish we went for longer, but I don't know if I would have managed with that much alcohol in my system. It was a good laugh, and was nice to chill in the day with the best peoples, then party at night. Met new people and saw people who I hadn't seen in a while. Was just really good, and would do it again if I could. Who knows if we'll go next year though, we'll be older and may have other things to do.
A couple of days later, was SPAIN. Spain was amazing. Such a beautiful country and had such an amazing time with Toni and Nia. We managed to do so many things, and all for free because of Toni's auntie Karen who works for Thompson. Really really enjoyed and I would go again if I could. Toni and Nia are talking about joining Sinead, Steph and Catrin when they go to Spain at the end of August, but there is no way I'd be able to afford it. Also going to Turkey, so I don't think I'll need another holiday. Speaking of Turkey, that's exactly two weeks away, and I'm determined to lose more weight before going. Going on a strict diet until then. Spain ruined my healthy eating with having ice cream everyday.
Now that I'm done updating, let's talk of the near future. Today is Saturday, and I'm meant to go to the gym, mow the lawn, finish tidying my room, and do some sort of work. I've started the Going For Gold stuff, so hopefully I'll have the assessment document done by today. The only other plans I have ahead, are Monday I'm meant to be going to the cinema to see Inbetweeners 2. Haven't seen the first, haven't seen the show, so let's see if I'll actually enjoy it haha. Thursday is results, so we're planning on having a meal at Toni's work, then camping by hers like what we did last year. So that should be fun. Then Ate is meant to come home again.
I think that's it for now. Was quite a long post, sorry about that. But yeah, goodbye for now. xox

Somebody To You♫

Man it feels like it's been aggggges since I last posted, when really it's only been just over a month. I feel like so much has happened these past couple of weeks. Let's do a quick update..
In my last post I spoke about Dragon Fest. That was so fun. I don't care if people say barn dances are crap now, I enjoyed and I would go again to the next one. I saw McBusted a couple of weeks ago and they were AMAZING. Seriously, such a good show! I got my violin results, but let's not go into detail otherwise I'll just get upset again. I still have my job. I thought they wouldn't ask me to work again, but they did. So maybe after exams and stuff I'll be working more often. Takes up time, but it's alright, money is good. My exams started last week with two music listening exams last Monday. I feel neutral about them. Then I had my english exam last Friday. Again, a neutral feeling. Today I had my maths C1 exam, and I think it went alright, so I'm hoping I've got the A I know that I can get. Halfway through my exams now. CANNOT WAIT FOR THEM TO BE OVER. Toni had her last one today and now she's free. Oh speaking of Toni, I went for lunch with her in town earlier and was very nommy. Went to Time Coffee Bar and had a bacon and brie panini. Then we went exploring town and went into a gallery and then spent about an hour in Waterstones. I've started reading Will Grayson x2 by John Green and I'm enjoying. All I wanna do is read but noooo, got exams I need to be revising for. Speaking of which, I should still be revising right now.. I'll revise for half an hour, then I can read. That's all for now. Hopefully when I next post, EXAMS WILL BE OVER. THEN that means that THE FAULT IN OUR STARS WILL BE OUT IN CINEMA, AHHHHHH. Okay, I'm done..

Oh Cecilia ♫

Halloooo, I'm in London! It's my Easter holidays and I've come to London for a couple of nights. It wasn't really the best of times as I've got to do all my art, but I wasn't exactly going to stay home whilst all my family went. So I brought some work that I can do whilst I'm here.
I'm home alone right now in Ate's house. She's at work and the rest of my family are at Ton's. I've decided to stay on my own to get some work done and here I am o Blogspot haha. I am doing work though, I'm doing some art annotations and also watching Anastacia. I can't believe exams are in less than a month, I am not prepared at all. And I can't even start revising because of stupid art. Only thing to look forward to is Dragon Fest which is on Saturday. What's his name was menna go but can't make it anymore, but ah well. I'll still enjoy. I just need to decide what to wear. I'm thinking my denim skater skirt, one of Ate's floral tops, then I've ordered boots from Boohoo which should arrive by the time we get home tomorrow.
I've been reading a lot lately as well, I've just past halfway in An Abundance of Katherine's by John Green. It's pretty good so far. I also cannot wait to read Looking For Alaska. But I can't find the cover I want from WHSmith.
Anyway, best get back to my art typing. Goodbyeeee. xox

The Only Reason ♫

5 Seconds Of Summer's EP came out yesterday and I LOVE IT. I love every song, but I think Disconnected is my favourite. Ahh, I love them.
Here's another update. It's been a month since I last posted, so I thought I'd do another.
My grade 6 violin exam is on Wednesday. Today is Monday. IT'S IN TWO FREAKING DAYS. I'm so scared, yet I kinda wanna do it already. I had a lesson today and it didn't go very well. I think Jenny's quite worried, but hopefully Wednesday will be fine.
Today was the Model United Nations thing. It wasn't as bad as I thought it's be, and I actually quite enjoyed it.
These next two weeks are gonna be hectic. I have my exam Wednesday, Thursday I'm on an Oxbridge trip to Swansea. No clue why I'm going. Friday I have orchestra after school. Then Monday, I have full senior concert. So a practice all day and we'll have NANDO'S. Then Tuesday Art Exam. Oh crap man. Not prepared. Wednesday I'm in Cardiff for the open day. Then Thursday it's our music prac. Then the Saturday it's Tita Beth's 50th. And then orchestra on the Sunday. Then senior strings concert on the Monday. Man I am busy hahaha. Amongst all that, I have tests and mock exams and I now have a job as well.
I have Dragon Fest to look forward to which is on the 19th of April. That should be good. Ooooh, and we're going to Holland next year with the county orchestra! It'll be our last year with the county so that should be amazing.
Anyway, I feel like I've updated enough. My fingers are hurting from all the violin I've been playing ahhaha. Yeah, goodbye for now. Peace xox

Dreamers ♫

We've got Rizzle Kicks to thank for the title of this post. I'll be seeing them in Cardiff in less than two weeks, how exciting. (That seems quite sarcastic, but I am genuinely excited haha.)
Anyway, HELLOOOOO 2014. I'm a bit late, right? I wanted this blog to be something I updated often during this year, and with it already being the end of February, I'm pretty much failing. I guess it's better late than never.

Here's a little update on my life:
-The half term officially starts tomorrow, woo to the hoo. Well deserved break from school. Despite the fact each day will be filled with soooo much school work anyway.
-Grade 6 violin exam is in less than five weeks, omfg.
-I've just had my first McDonalds in months and I feel so fat. That McFlurry was probably not a great idea. No proper dinner for me later anyway.

I watched Jim Chapman's most recent video last night, which was the Too Much Info Tag. (You can watch it here.) It did make me contemplate whether now is the time I should start a Youtube channel, but I decided against that idea. I've always wanted to make a channel (I have one, but not one where I upload) and upload weekly videos like what most Youtubers do, but I just don't have the guts tbh. Maybe one day in the future, we'll see. Jim asked us, his viewers, to do the TMI tag, and instead of videoing myself answering the questions, I'll just answer them in my next blog post. (Which I shall post in about 5 minutes after this one hehe.)
So there we are, that's my life atm, pretty boring. I'll probably remember to update this in another month or so. We'll see how well I do. Peace xox
