The power of words.

Over the past few days I've been thinking quite a lot about work experience. So many possibilities. But, as usual, I still have no idea what to do. 


Just a little update for you: 
I have my first follower :D Thanks so much Lulu :) http://lulu-bookaddict.blogspot.com/ 
It means a lot (Y) 


So, as for the English situation, well, we're getting closer to the end of our creative writing module now (N) Starting monday we've got our 4 hour controlled assessment...yay. HOWEVER, this will be the most interesting one so far. For the first 2 hours we have to write a story following the theme of being "trapped". Basically, mine will take lots of inspiration from some of the books I love. Today in class I kept coming up with good ideas and it has really made me appreciate the gift of reading. If I hadn't read so many books over the years I'm sure I would be stuck for ideas. It's weird to consider who I'd be now if I didn't love to read so much. 


For all the book lovers out there, just think, and be thankful for all the books you've been lucky enough to read. For some: reading is an escape. For others: it contains the answers.


Whatever your reason, embrace it all.


Okay, so I didn't want this post to be philosophical and stuff, but it's a bit late now. Sorry :L

A little bit of everything

Sorry I haven't blogged for a while. So guess what? I watched the Royal Wedding today :) And first off; I loved Kate's dress, it was beautiful (Y) All week i've had to put up with people complaining about the wedding, while in the meantime I was looking forward to it. Royalty is Britain's history, and we wouldn't be where we are now if it wasn't for it? So I wish everyone would just shut up and enjoy it :) 


For the past few weeks we've been getting our exam results back... so as you can imagine I was terrified :L Turns out I got an A in most and in my physics and chemistry I got an A*. Shocked didn't even begin to describe it. Oh well, I don't know how I did it- but I did. So YAAAAAAY! Still got no idea what I want to do at college though. 


Oh that's another thing, in english at the moment we are doing creative writing. This is great and all, but the other day my teacher was going on about purple prose. For some reason I got all defensive over my books, she was saying about over sentimentality, too much description and stuff but some of the things we looked at, in my opinion, were perfectly acceptable :/ Oh well, I guess i'll just have to get over it :L 


I should be allowed to like what I want, and not have opinions forced on me. 
Shouldn't we all?

Rant about food, then an ideal love.

Feel like I have eaten too much... this is the point where i'm supposed to go for a run or something. Oh well. Looks like i'm not going anywhere. Next.

"A day without you is like a year without rain" (8) It may be slightly cheesy but when you think about it; the lyrics are sort of beautifully poetic. Without you my life isn't worth living and without you I couldn't live. They say love is happiness and bliss, that warm fuzzy feeling that makes you glow from the outside in. Well, songs like that kind of bring it home. It may be all of the things above but it's also a dependence, that desire to be with a certain person and once you have them you can never let go. Without them you can't breathe. They are your oxygen.

Just something to think about. Or someone.

Getting closer

OKay so it's been 9 weeks since I started saving for New York and i'm now about 2/5's of the way through. I am so excited I can't really put it into words. Other updates for the day are: all but for of the sheep have lambed now; 21 little lambs XD They are so adorable but little "lambpup" needs to find some friends. He's like a dog; he just follows your around everywhere. I know this may seem really cute, and trust me- it is, but he needs to gain some independance to help him survive.

Anyway that's enough about the sheep, I'm off out tommorrow and fingers crossed it doesn't rain.

One last thing, the tragedy that is Japan at the moment is heart breaking and we are all hoping and praying for those affected. Some say that the increase in natural disasters is due to global warming, so if it is, why aren't we doing anything? If we can help prevent such horrible occurances why aren't we? We have the power to change things, but just as assumed, no one will take it seriously until it happens to us, and by then it will be too late.Just a little thought.

Pretty rubbish post, if I'm honest.

What started as a whisper,
Slowly turned in to a scream (8) 


That feeling that kept urging me to push forward is gone. It consumed me and,yes now I'm happy, but I'm vulnerable too. Vulnerability scares me. I never know what to expect and when I do; it terrifies me. The uncertainty, the anticipation. 


But


The other day I couldn't have felt my at ease. All of my worries for nothing. Gone. It's days like that which make you realize why we put up with all the other crap that comes with life. You support me and make me feel something. I would thank you for it but I know you feel the same about me :) 

Mellow.

Apart from the odd thing, this week I have felt suprisingly mellow. The lyrics make sense as the chemistry grows. I'm not sure what to expect, but everytime I think about it my heart skips a beat. Like the sun, some days your glorious and others your barely there. Still, you brighten my day no matter what. Who knows where this is going, but for now, the security and strength you give me, is enough.

One flight away from my dreams.
