A busy first week back!

Happy Sunday.
This week has been so busy it's insane. Honestly, it feels like I have been back at school for a month not just a week! Exams are just around the corner and boy do we know it! The work has seriously taken a sharp turn upwards and after waking up at 8.30 this morning just to finish an essay for the next day I am starting to feel worried. We had an RS mock exam on thursday which went pretty well, i just feel i need to get a better essay structure so that means practice, practice, practice! ahhhhh! Also to pile it all on, prefect interviews start soon eeeeeeek!
Anyway enough of my rambling, a few pics to share. I am making a film in photography for my final piece, it is based on water but has lots of text etc and several stills so here are a few I am going to use...All of these were taken in France on rowing camp! Kinda useful, a lot of water about Lol! Anyway, have to go and do some flute practice! ahhh I am faaarrr to busy! Thanks for stopping by!

phewww, been a long time!

Hi All.
Firstly, I am not dead, neither am i stranded in some foreign country. I have just got back from rowing camp! Woooh. It was so amazing. We rowed on the Loir in France. No Computer, no phones, no paper! As a result I didn't find out about this weird ash cloud thing until yesterday when I promptly thanked God that I was travelling by ferry n not plane. If any of u blogging friends are stranded, I am so so sorry, sounds horrible. Lots of prayer needed for that to clear!
Anyway...This i'm afraid has to be a fairly quick post as I am shattered after a nine hour ferry journey and a three hour train journey! N I'm back to skl tomorrow! eeeek!
Flip, I had no idea that the blogging world moves so fast. Away for ten days n came back to find so many blog updates n exciting things like Shimelle's crop party that I had missed! sob sob! Anyway will share a few pics from my trip.
The weather was amazing, lovely n hot, a little bit windy but apart from that fab!
The pontoon...
The beautiful river. It is huge!!!! No chance of crashing! Thank goodness as I steer the boat!
Camp fun!... Me reflected in my friends glasses! love this pic!
Me n my friends in town! (yeah I'm the little one on the end!)interesting depth of field with the boats!

will share more tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by n visiting the bag blogger that I am eeek!

Let me indulge!

Hi
Sorry, I haven't stopped by in a few days! eeeeekk. Revision.... need I say more! Quite happy to say I have achieved quite a lot and in most subjects have got over half way in note taking etc! Day off tomorrow! he he! Easter sunday! Looking forward to it! So..thought i would share an insanely cute video I found the other day. I just love it! It made me happy for quite a long time but took a great deal of finding cos I had watched the video at school and then forgot the name! ahh anyone ever done that? The most frustrating thing!
Reminds me of the boy though..
10. reasons why I love him:
1. He puts up with my strops (which I have to confess are numerous!)
2. Let me into his family.
3. Let's me pretend that one day I will be King (yeah i know the gender thing....!)
4. lets me ring him at crazy hours just so I can say goodnight.
5. sends the most lovely texts.
6. tries to play mario kart Wii with his arms around me.
7. Watched mamma mia with me three times despite the fact that he hates it.
8. doesn't mind laughing at me when I am just plain moody. Normally sorts things out!
9. Got MSN so he could talk to me.
10. Let me kiss in the rain. T, I love you. Thank you xxxx
Soon, another list! wooooh! easter sunday tomorrow! Hope everyone has an awesome day to celebrate that our beautiful saviour has risen! So excited!
Thanks for stopping by!

Colour

Hello
Today is wet, grey and cold and most definitely does NOT feel like it is nearly April. I remember last year being so sunnay at this point. Oh well. hopefully the good weather will arive soon.
Had a good productive day. Revised Philosophy, (Religious experience and cosmological argument if you are interested!) and had a driving lesson, so my brain is rather worked out today! Lol!
Anyways, thought I would stop by with a quick post full of colour cos it is such a yucky day. These are all pictures of my mum's jewelrey. Mostly fairly cheap bits and bobs that she picks up in unique little shops and wears wears at work. They are all so lovely and colourful and certainly brighten up my day! This is one of her newest purchases. Love this. Reminds me of dominoes lined up!Gotta love this one! he he! It looks so real!This one is so so pretty!
A a whole collection of shapes and colours! I love my mum's style! he he!
I would show some more pics but blogger is not uploading my pics! grrr.. anyway thanks for stopping by!

I'm home!

Happy Saturday all.
I am finally at home and very happy to be so! We had to clear our rooms this term so everything had to be taken home. This was my trunk halfway through packing! It was a bit of a squish in the car with three trunks, three tuckboxes, extra games kit bags, musical instruments etc, but we got there in the end!
This holiday is always one that I don't enjoy so much because of the dreaded revision, but..on the upside I am going to a rowing camp to France in 10 days so that is something to look forward to. As ever then, blogging will have to come in between a hectic schedule! sorry. In a strange way I actually enjoy the proccess of revision. I love to feel organised and it is quite refreshing to wake up early and then sit and excersise my mind for an hour with a glass of water and fresh fruit! I end up feeling very satisfied and productive! (well that's the theory anyway!) I think it's a lot better to start revision with a positive attitude than a negative one!
Anyway, asides from revision, I popped into my local craft shop with the intention of picking up these lovely yarns for a hat I am planning on making as a treat from work. Whilst there I realised there was a sale on! Well... I am proud to say I restrained myself as I figured scrapping hours will be very limited anyway but i couldn't resist this stamp reduced to £2.50! Bargain!
So.. a happy day! Work kicks in tomorrow! Eeeek! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Sunday
Bit of a quick post cos I am at a friends house but just wanted to share a few piccy's we took!
This week has been good, the work has eased off slightly but all the teachers are now uttering that dreaded R word! Ahhhh not looking forward to an easter of revision but it's one of those things that once u start it is actually ok! Lol!
The last week of term is always crazy crazy cos we have a load of rounding up stuff to do and then clearing rooms, the trunks n tuck boxes come out!
Anyway the pics...This girl is amazing! she straightned her hair for a party last night (it's normally really really curly so it was so nice to see it like this! Lol!) Silly poses! what more can I say....Her Dad is real good at photography so we had some fun with jumping!Witness the camera, I am such a scrapper! he he!
Such a fun day! Hope u all had a good weekend! Thanks for reading

Happy Mothering Sunday!

Hi All. Happy Mothering sunday to you! A day to celebrate our lovely mummy's, and here is mine... The best mum you could wish for.(the picture was taken a while back but it is one of all my all time fav's!)
The boys and I had got her a card and this necklace. I fell in love with it when I saw it in the shop cos the blues are just stunning and it is so aesthetically (if that is how u spell it!) pleasing! Me and the middle boy went into town together last weekend to buy it and I think we made the lady on the till in M&S's day! She was thrilled that we were buying something for mothers day and especially as we were buying something together! he he! Bless her! Also wanted to share another purchase. Me and two friends have started up a prayer triplet at school. It is the most amazing thing being able to tell them everything and know that they are praying about it. One thing that came up was the use of a prayer journal, to write down anything God is saying to you but also anything u want to remember to pray about. Now, the crafty lass I am, i wanted something a little bit special and pretty. After a trip to Paperchase I found this...Isn't it just gorgeous?! I love the floral pattern and the woodgrain and the bird and.... Yeah I basically love this notebook! So..this weekend is nearly over, sob sob! It's been so nice, quite relaxing, got some work done and really just enjoying being at home. One thing I have been doing is looking through Uni prospectus's and courses they offer and comparing them... My mum, bless her, has ordered literally dozens for me and my brother so my room now looks like a careers office! At the moment I am thinking of studying History possibly with education but that is only available at Durham and Cambridge so the other three would have to be straight History. Possible Uni's are Warwick, Cambridge, Durham, Southampton and maybe York. Durham is my fav but all of them are top uni's so we will have to see!
Anyway thanks for stopping by, hope u all have a lovely day!
