The 'oh dear' blog

Well....I think it's safe to say I have officially failed the blog a day campagne (oh lord that's french for countryside. IT'S TAKING OVER MY LIFE) *campaign.... ah well I had a good run.
Do not be disheartened though! I shall still post blogs frequently although they may not be daily. (at least you don't have to worry about me spamming your inboxes anymore!)

I currently have one contact lense in, so apologies for any spelling mistakes...I can't see properly.

So today I had an exam. And believe me it wasn't your everyday run of the mill exam. It was a COLLEGE exam. Unfortunately for me one of the sixth forms I would like to go to is a grammar school, so an academic exam is required and to be passed for entry.

Thankfully, the college sends you the questions a month prior to the exam, meaning you can do research and plan your answer. However being me, I once again left everything till the night before. Yup. Two 20 mark questions had been left untouched. Oh dear. So I was up memorizing and doing work for it until 2am and then I had to get up at 6am. 4 hours of sleep, no breakfast and nerves do NOT go down well.

But I actually think I did quite well, probably just enough to pass.

Thanks to my mum and dad who put up with me and stayed up helping me until the end. I appreciate you both so much <3

Sorry for the shortness of todays blog, I seem to be developing a headache.

The habit blog

In good sense of todays blog title, I seem to have developed a rather bad habit of leaving my blog a day installment untill late at night...

I've found that no matter how important work or anything else is, I always leave everything until the last minute. And when I say the last minute I literally mean the night before at 2300 hours approx. (military time ftw) Needless to say I need to start breaking this habit. It stresses me out.

Over the years I seem to have developed OCD in it's many glorious forms, I have to have anything and everything on or in even numbers, if I touch an object (as wrong as that sounds) like a book with one hand I'll have to touch it with the other and EVERYTHING on my desk or near it has to be perfectly alligned with the straight edges of the wood. But come on, that's just being organised...right? RIGHT?!

I also have a load of phobias and fears, but I'll save them for another time.... ohjoy.

Leave a comment telling me your bad habits! ^__^

The French blog

Wow, like 44 minutes left of the day and I still haven't posted the next installment of the blog a day campaign. So without further ado, here it is!

The main reason for me blogging so late into this fine sunday night is due to the country which is infact France.
I have a french controlled assessment tomorrow, and I need to memorize all 226 words on the topic of jobs and work experience. It might sound easy, but in another language it's extremely difficult.
And even with my 'part' photographic memory I'm struggling with the last couple of phrases.

Maybe it's down to the fact that it's so late at night and I'm tired, but they're just not sticking.
I even drank a bottle of water to 'oxidise' my brain...

Sorry today's blog hasn't been very interesting, I would love to go into more detail of my day, but I need to get back to revising... Abientot!

The singing blog

Hello!
The time has come for the next installment of the blog a day campaign. *yayy*

So today in a nutshell has been pretty boring. I stayed in looking at politics for a college exam .__.
And as you can imagine I got pretty distracted by ANYTHING in my line of vision.
I played my bass (WHICH I now have lessons for!) and did some singing.

Now I like singing. I also like to think that I'm good at singing. Whether I actually am or not is another matter altogether. So after much debating I decided to record a cover of Adele's Make you feel my love which may have been a BIG mistake as I have a cold which makes my m's sound like b's....

Anyway, feel free to listen to it, but on your head be it! (I'll link below...no I won't *chicken*) Depending on when you're reading this blog I may have deleted/privated the video, so I shall apologise in advance: SORRY!

That's about it for todays blog.
Thanks for reading

The OMG blog

Hello world!

WELLLLL as you can see this is the first (or second if you count my last) blog in the blog a day campaign.

So, today as part of my new healthy eating regime, I swapped my UNHEALTHY BUT OH SO NICE crunchy nut cornflakes for SHREDDED WHEAT  which might I add was extremely yummy. However I let myself down by having my ususal all butter waffle with maple syrup (BUT SOME FAT IS GOOD RIGHT?). Now, for break I normally consume my usual four bar kitkat, but today... was different story. A GEOBAR?! IS THIS A PRACTICAL JOKE? No, apparently, it's healthy. Now on my returning home, I was so hungry I ate a kitkat, 3 biscuits, 3 pieces of garlic bread AND drank a bottle of orange lucozade. Oh dear.

Hoping to repent for my gorging I was aiming to have an hour at the gym with the lovely Miss Sophie... Unfortunately she decided to pass... Because she doesn't like being seen with this nerd....
I keeeed, she actually had a perfectly valid reason and will be abandoning me for the next 2 weeks! Thanking you muchly dear <3

Now, coming off the absolutely FASCINATING topic of health and fitness I shall give you fact of the day: I play bass guitar. Although it may seem like I'm randomly throwing that out there I do have reasoning!
A few hours ago I was minding my own buisness bassing away and I had no idea my dad's friends had arrived and were listening to me. I WAS SINGING ASWELL! Oh the shame! Moving swiftly on, as it happens one of them knows the son of Robert Plant (lead singer of Led Zepelin) and can HOPEFULLY give me a few lessons! (That's if I can stop being lazy and pick up the phone) So as you can imagine I'm excited about that! :D

So er, that's about it for today!

The Update Blog

Greetings,
So recently I'm thinking I haven't written a blog in a while and while I only have one follower at this partiular moment in time (EXCLUDING MYSELF.), I thought why not try and write a blog a day?
So that's the main update! *wishes self good luck*

Nextly, I would like to announce my new resolution, which is to... GET FIT. I'm not overweight or a health freak, but for those of you reading who aren't my friends (like I have any...*FOREVERALONE*) I'm having major surgery on my spine in october. And frankly, I won't have a hope in hell of recovering quickly if I'm not fit. I get through 3 four bar kitkats a day for crying out loud! So as of tomorrow I AM EATING MORE FRUIT AND GOING TO THE GYM! So we shall see how I fair in that sector in precisely 9 hours.

Lastly, I'm currently working on a blazblue Calamity Trigger review and an in-depth Tomb Raider 9 preview. So for those of you who are into gaming please keep checking my wordpress for news! (link below)

If all goes to plan I shall soon be writing to nobody again tomorrow!

The complaining blog

So this is my first blog. And I'm afraid it's not going to be a happy one with lots of fancy fonts or colouring. Mainly becuase I have so much on my plate at the moment I feel like I'm likely to disintergrate.

My art coursework is due in on Monday, and let's put it this way, I'm good at art; but I HATE it with a passion.... Probably because I have zilch patience and the fact that I am just a very very very lazy person.
Thankfully my parents will help me out which I am so so so grateful for!

The odd thing about coursework (for those of you who don't know I'm doing my GCSE's) is that I leave it ALL to the last minute. Par example, every single English essay has been completed the night before, now I love English, but like most lazy people I suffer from 'writers block'. However I have somehow managaed to get all A*'s. I know what you're thinking 'Don't get too content' I've heard that enough from my mum!

Anyway I woke up this morning in great comfort, enjoying the sound of the birds and then BAM, mother walks in, starts cleaning and having a rant before saying 'get up' and leaving. Okay so I could understand her annoyence as my room does look a bit of a tip at the moment. Downstairs, my papa seems awfully moody, slamming things down when I speak and doing the usual 'huffing and puffing' He insists he isn't angry at me, but I swear everyone is against me today. Man, I hate those sort of days don't you?

Okay, so it's only two people, (well three but I just want to forget about that one to be honest) but still! It's enough to bring me down for the day!

I feel I've complained enough now. I'm sorry I had to get it out of my system or I was liable to scream at someone. Feel free to have a little complaint of your own in the comments :)

Adios
