In which I am enjoying myself way too much.

I'm here on half term now, just got back after a few wonderful days on holiday in Italy with my friends. First of all, I am attempting to do some form of revision, but I keep getting distracted by things, or I find something I've been meaning to do for ages, or something. For example, I spent all of yesterday with my best friends when I should have been recapping all the stuff I've forgotten after the holiday. On Saturday I watched a film and read a whole book. These things aren't going to get me my GCSEs, I know. I have done some things today, and writing to you is part of my 'free' period. (Which ends in about 40 minutes, I gave myself an hour for lunch when theoretically it only takes me 10 minutes to eat!)

I've also found a winning idea for my book, and I've just started writing it. I'm really enjoying it so far, so I hope I'll be able to complete it and get it published. Obviously even if it did get famous I'd probably have to do my GCSEs first, but still! At least it wouldn't matter if I totally failed.

Ugh. Additional Science is easily the most annoying thing in the world, as is History. (Why am I doing it for A-Level again?!) I just did some revision on cell anatomy this morning, and I think I'm gonna start on enzymes soon, as well as whatever topic 3 is in Physics *vomits*

Glad to have a small rest from the stress that is school though!

In Which I fail.

It's been about two weeks since I've last written. I often make excuses for being busy and I'm going to have to do the same now. Year 11 is... wow. I didn't expect it to be such a step up from Year 10 to 11. I prepared myself for that last year; when it didn't happen I let my guard down and now it's a struggle to  get on top of things. But I'm managing somehow.

We're coming to the end of the first half term now. Thoughts? Well, it's gone by so quickly, and I've already had a heap of exams, and even more in the next half term. I had my French oral BTW, and it went pretty well, even if I did mess up a little in the middle. I got an A for it, half a mark off an A* as well xD damn! As for my English exam that went pretty well as well, although I don't think the persuasive speech I had to write was quite as good as my essay :L

Next term I have my Drama play pretty much the first week into half term. I'll post more about that near the time but I have so many lines that it's not even funny. Trying to learn them is so difficult, what with everything else we have going on, but now that we have half term coming up hopefully I'll have some time to learn them then.

I've started sending off application forms to colleges and going to open evenings as well. For A-Level I want to do English, History, French and Psychology. I wanted to do Classical Civilisation as well, but I was advised by one of my brother's friends just to do four instead and get a part time job. Speaking of which, I have another form that I need to try and complete, as well as a song I need to finish writing and composing for my band, so I should probably go. See you guys soon! I'm going on holiday on Friday so it'll probably be the Saturday when I next talk to you!
