Boring

I have just realized that all my posts are about work, Borlase or summer, therefore I have concluded that this blog is boring. My friends always tell me that I am strange and slightly insane, like a child. For example, during science lessons I recently drew what would happen if you mixed a monkey with a cat, and called him 'Cankey'. This amused me for a couple of weeks worth of science lessons, and got me through pretty much all of modules 4-6. Only Bee will understand this. Anyway I have decided that I am too serious and cautious when I write this blog, but have decided that as no-body reads this, I might as well relax.

Going to Borlase

I received my reply from Borlase recently, and discovered that I had got in. Now I am in, I'm very relieved and excited, but I'm also scared. This means that I'm actually going, no excuses now. I still do really want to go, but the realization that in September I will be going to Borlase, has just hit me. The idea of leaving all my friends and going somewhere completely different to where I am comfortable and happy, frightens me. But i think that it is something that i need to do, and it will be good for me. I almost feel like I'm too comfortable now, and am ready to find something new.

On a more happy note, there are only about 13 days of going to school left. Also it's almost easter, which will be a welcome break to the early mornings and school uniform. Not a break from work though, it will be pretty much two weeks of revising. I'm looking forward to going on my boat during easter, with a few friends. Hopefully it will be sunny, nice weather makes revising easier.

Impatience

Nothing incredibly exciting has happened during the past week, I'm mostly just waiting for things. Waiting for my Borlase's application result to arrive. I'm constantly waiting for the weekend, even when the weekend has just been. I am waiting for the summer exams to just be done, and summer to arrive. But on a lighter note, the days are getting longer, hotter, and theres a sunny atmosphere around the school. 

I'm looking forward to watching Bee, Leah and others in the 'highlights' dance show on Friday with Debbie. It should be really fun, because Iv'e never seen them dance 'properly', just the kinda dance everyone does. And then on Saturday I'm going to Freya's party. The restaurant will be fun because theres loads of us and we will literally take up the entire restaurant. However I am looking to the daytime 'go ape' considerably less, because I wont really know anyone, and i am not particularly close to Freya, she only invited me because all her close friends bailed.

Anyway, tomorrow will be easy because its a 'focus day', but I will try convince my mum to let me have the day off, or at least a lie in.

Borlases

Today was my interview to get into Borlase's sixth form. I think it went quite well, though it was very strange. I walked there with my step-dad and step-sister, it was uncomfortable from the moment we were signed in. I was put into a group of people who had similar A Level choices to me; Biology, Chemistry, Maths, English. So stereotypically they were the less confident, quieter, academic people. However they all seemed really nice and by the end of the day, everyone felt comfortable. First they gave us a tour round the school and let us speak to the subject leaders. Then we had our group interview. The first thing I saw when I walked into the interview room, was a huge cream dog lying across the floor in front of the seats. I have to admit, this threw me a little. The interview itself went well, as did my individual interview. I am slightly concerned by what Dr Holding, the head master said; only 1 out of 3 applicants will get a place for September. My chances therefore, are not great. However the day as a whole was a success for me because it has reassured me that if I get in, it will be fine and I will meet people.

On Monday I started the "soup and smoothie" diet. I did this mainly because Bee has been doing it for about 3 weeks now and she looks great. I really want to loose some weight for summer. I say that every year but this is the first year I am actually doing something about it. For example, I now go to the gym 2-3 times a week, and am trying out kinds of diets and healthy eating. I realize I made a mistake with my dairy free diet, of being too strict. This meant that when I stopped it I went insane, and put all the weight I had lost, back on. So for this 'soup and smoothie' diet, I will be slightly lenient.

I have just noticed that my last post was me worrying about my exam results, so I am happy to say that I received 3 A*s last Thursday, which is a huge relief.

Results

Tomorrow I will be collecting a seemingly insignificant set of results, and although this is the case I cannot stop worrying about what they will say. They are only modules for science, but I am not confident about the results. It's got me thinking about how I wont possibly be able to open the envelope containing my eleven GCSEs, when I turn to a nervous wreck at the thought of opening an envelope not even containing a whole one.

I hope that they turn out alright.

Summer

I cannot wait till summer. It seems that everything I'm doing recently is just to get there. The exams are approaching, and life in and out of school is getting increasingly harder as they do. Summer is really the only thing that is keeping me going. 

I'm ready for a change in my life, which is why I am moving to Borlases school if i get in. Its not that I don't love or appreciate my friends at WHS, I just feel that I have gained all I can from it as a school, and am craving more excitement. But I'm scared to leave.

For now I will just look forward to Tanzania, Croatia with Bee, and being tanned.

My First Blog

Iv'e never made a blog before, so it will take me a while to perfect. For now I've settled with two of my favorite quotes; "love is merely madness" by William Shakesphere, simply because it's true, and "I can resist anything but temptation" by Oscar Wilde, because it's a wonderful concept. I was inspired to create this blog by Leah and Bee, after reading their blogs and finding out so much more about them. I'm doubtful that anyone will read this, but what the hell? Any excuse to delay English essays.
