long time no post

I have been very very very busy. Applying to University, College, holding down two jobs and what not.
But over the weekend I will definitely be posting something a lot more interesting than this!!

An Afternoon Out

It was a beautiful sunny day yesterday, and my step sister is down visiting for a while so we took a trip to the beach for lunch. I really want a beach hut!

We went out for a meal on Wednesday night too, and I saw the most heart-warming thing, there was an old couple who came in when we were half way through our meal, and the old man, stood behind her chair while she sat down and tucked it in behind her. If I care for someone that much, or have someone care for me that much when I'm that old I will be a very happy lady.

Elsewhere

What first appears a tragic story soon turns into a heart warming journey. At the age of 16 Liz gets killed in a hit and run accident, this book follows her journey after death, in Elsewhere. Elsewhere is the place you go when you die, everyone goes there to age down, and when they are babies again they go on they get sent back to earth to have a new life.
First Liz faces anger, at not being given the chance to live, but then she comes to peace with her life, or lack of it, and falls in love, something she never thought she'd have the chance to do. It's a great read, the book itself isn't complicated, but it's heartwarming and gives another possible answer to the 'What happens when you die?' question.

Tea or Coffee?

I went for coffee, well tea but that isn't important, yesterday with a friend I haven't seen all summer! It was only a quick hours catch up, but it was still lovely to see her. I paid 85p for a packet of crisps, which I was very angry about, before I tasted them, they were the most heavenly crisps I have ever tasted, and I would pay 85p for them again anyday! Are you a coffee or a tea person?

time is moving on

I have been looking forward to 'summer' for so long, and it seems to have almost passed by without my realising. It's only a few weeks till I go back to College, and I'm actually really looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to having something to do, not that I don't have a huge list of things to do now, but things that have to be done, things that I'm working for, and aiming for, important things, you know. 

This summer has been great though.

 

 

 

 

roll on summer '11

Beautiful Days

i went to a festival last weekend called beautiful days. it was an amazing weekend and i would recommend everyone go next year :)

It is also nearing September, and I'm needing to make the decision about what I want to do next year, and the year after, the important decisions like University, and the still important but not as important ones like... do I buy a new iPod? hmm? Well mine has run out of space for all my music!! Anyway, yes, University. I have decided not to take a gap year, so this time next year i will be less than a month away from starting a whole new chapter in my life, and I need to decide where I want to do that, and what course I want to be taking whilst I'm doing it. I got my AS level results last Thursday, and I got an A in English Literature, an A in Film, a B in Drama and a Distinction in Journalism, so providing I continue the good standard next year I should have a few options as to where to go and should, hopefully, be able to take my pick :) I am also wondering whether or not to take up another AS level, as my Journalism course has finished and so I now have space in my timetable, but, what to take is the major decision. I was considering doing media, or perhaps English Language, but who knows, maybe it's best to concentrate on what I am already doing.

These are a few songs from a band I saw at Beautiful Days, I hadn't even heard of them before I saw them, and we just went to the area they were playing in by chance and I was pleasently surprised. It's the kind of music I like listening to when I'm at home doing coursework, or tidying about.
