Hello Again...

I haven't posted anything on her in ages because well to be honest with exams and revision and everything I just completely forgot about it. Whenever I'm not revising I can't be bothered to do anything but watch TV or try to sort out stuff for my trip to New York this summer (so excited!!!)

Anyway I saw this thing called 'currently' on another blog where you basically post about what you are currently doing (obviously), so here it is:

Reading: The Hunger Games - I think that I posted on here when I first got the books which was ages ago, and I am still only half way through the first book. Not because I don't like it - I love it even more than the film -    simply because as I mentioned earlier I haven't had any films.

Watching: A lot of things - I basically watch every show on e4! A show I have discovered recently is 'revenge' which is about a girl trying to get revenge on the people who framed her father when she was little.

Working on: I don't really think I'm working on anything at the moment, just trying to not fail all of my exams!

Listening to: Again it's really hard to pick just one thing, but at the moment I really love the song 'sweater weather' by The Neighbourhood. I am not really sure why, I just love it! 

Eating: Since study leave started I have been eating so much! I weighed myself the other day and I have gained almost half a stone, I haven't weighed myself in ages so not just in study leave (hopefully). The food that I have been eating loads of at the moment is rich tea biscuits - dipped in tea of of course. The bad thing is that they don't fill you up and I could actually just sit there and eat the whole pack without even realising!

Anticipating: The end of exams, My Birthday and New York! Unfortunately my last exam is on my birthday, but at least it will all be over. I going to New York the next day, and then when I get back it is Prom the next day so I am going to be pretty busy!

What are you guys doing at the moment?

Up Up Up - Givers

Ever since I heard this song on glee I have been absolutely in love with it! I have been meaning tio share it with you for some time, but I keep getting sidetracked by other things. I think the music video is pretty cool as well! Anyway here it is, you should check it out:

The Hunger Games

Look what arrived today...

I ordered these a while ago because I loved the film and everyone said the books were really good! My friend is totally obsessed with twilight even said that the hunger games is better, so I thought that I had to read them! If you haven't seen the film it is basically about an event called 'the hunger games' where two representatives from each district are chosen to compete against each other, and only the winner will come out alive. Katniss takes the place of her younger sister to compete in the hunger games, as well as Peeta (the boy chosen from her district). That was a rubbish summary, but it is a really amazing film; it has romance, friendship, action, everything! You should definitely watch it if you haven't already.

Today is the first day of study leave, and since I have finally got these I doubt will be doing much revising...

Maybelline Express Finish Nail Varnish

So I went into town today, it wasn't a hugely successful trip, but I did get this nail varnish which is really good. The colour I chose is 'turquoise lagoon' and it looks really good.

Another thing that I really like about this nail varnish is that it drys really quickly (40 seconds according to the bottle, but I didn't time it), and you only need one coat so you can use it even when you don't have much time. The nail varnish costs £4.00. This is probably my new favourite nail varnish!

Change...

I go on study leave next Wednesday(!), and next year I'm starting sixth form, so this has made me think a lot about change. I hate change! Although I am actually quite excited about starting sixth form next year, and the fact I get to wear non uniform and there are going to be boys (I go to an all girls school at the moment).

I was also thinking about how much people change. For example I have known my friend 'K' since we were in nursery and we have (had) been best friends for ages. But over the past year she has changed so much, I feel like I barely know her any more. We used to talk all the time, and practically live at each others houses, but know the only time we see each other is when her mum takes us to the bus stop. Then when we get there she will go off and stand with other people thinking she is too 'cool' to stand with us. It's not just me that thinks this either though, my friend 'Bambi' feels exactly the same. Sorry I'm rambling, but I just hate it when people change like that, and act like you aren't even friends, don't you? And I realise that I have probably changed too, but I just really miss her since we used to be attatched at the hip!

Those little things

These are just a few of the little things that always make me smile:

- Singing along really loudly (and out of tune)

- When someone gives you a genuine compliment

- Being given flowers - My love life is non existent, but one of the little boys that I babysit picks me flowers every time I see him. It is so cute :)

- When someone writes a whole essay inside your birthday card

- Being on a slow bus and watching a long quee of cars form ehind you

- Watching something you loved as a kid

- Brushing my horses - There is something really soothing about it as well

- The smell of freshly cut grass - I know it's cliche, but still

- The first snowflakes starting to fall

- Being the first person to walk in the snow

- Walking into a warm building after being outside in the cold

- Finding money you didn't know you had

- When a little kid reaches to hold your hand

- When there is only one of something left and it is in your size

I didn't realise how many things there are until I started writing this, I could seriously go on for ever! I will stop here though, don't worry.
What are the little things that make you smile?

Guess what I have just got back from doing... driving! Me, my brother and my dad went out to get something, and my brother ('J') decided that he wanted to have a go at driving the car. We were in my mums car which already has a massive dent in so my dad agreed, if it had been his precious car there would have been no way!

We drove over to a track that goes to my house, and doesn't have any houses (or people for us to run over) along most of it, and J got in the front. There was a lot of my dad shouting "CLUTCH, CLUTCH!",  stalling the car and me laughing in the backseat, and then it was my turn. I adjusted the seat (my thirteen year old brother is taller than me!) and I was off!

Driving went pretty well... until we came to corner! I didn't steer enough or something, and suddenly all three of us were heading straight for a bush! My Dad was shouting at me and frantically turning wheel, and luckily we missed the bush, it wouldn't have been fun explaining to my mum why her car was in a bush by the side of the road! The car (and the three of us) came out of it unharmed though, so I don't think I did too badly! Especially since the last time I tried to drive a car was when I was 12 and me and my brothers stole the car keys. I didn't even make it out of the drive that time!

I can't wait til next year when I can drive now!
