Onwards and Upwards

Well, hasn't it been a while? I apologise as I have no appropriate excuse as to why I haven't updated my blog in a very long time, other than laziness of course. But now I do have a lot to update you all on so here we go.

To begin with: GCSEs. They're done! I cannot even begin to tell you how lovely it is to wake up in the morning and not have a mild panic attack about having an exam later that afternoon, or have some last minute revision to cram into an afternoon. Its glorious to be honest and I've been taking full advantage of my well-deserved time off and been sleeping in till about 1:30PM...because I can. But don't get me wrong I have actually been socialising as well as having those much needed lazy days. In fact I've been to a theme park, gone to the cinema, been shopping and just had pretty chilled days with my friends. Summer has definitely not been disappointing so far.

Now I move onto discuss something that is recently become one of my fondest memories of high school: Prom. Prom was fantastic! Most of my year was feeling pretty pessimistic about the whole event for various reasons; thinking the music would be rubbish, crap food etc. But from the start I personally was looking forward to wearing my dress and having a final year party with my year group. It completely fulfilled my expectations and was even better than I expected. Of course for the first 40 minutes or so there was that 'nobody's dancing' awkwardness, but eventually everybody gave up caring and soon the dance floor was filled with our year group singing and having a great time. Once I got home, of course I had blisters the size of caterpillars across my feet...but in my opinion it showed I had a good night on my feet dancing the whole time.
Here is a photo of my friends and I on the big night:

Finally I move onto what's next for me. So as Prom came to an end I came to the realisation that high school was over for me and that was pretty emotional. But I'm quite excited to start Sixth Form next year and only study the subjects I actually like. I've decided to take Drama, English Literature, History and Law...you can tell I wasn't a fan of Maths or Science. I' m looking forward to getting treated a little more like an adult and of course what's most important; wearing much nicer uniform.
 
Well I think that pretty much sums up what you've missed out on over these past few months without boring you too much. I'm going to be trying to update a lot more now, since from writing this blog post I've reminded myself how much I love it. My posts won't always be life-updates, as my life currently isn't too interesting but probably opinions and concepts that frequently cross my mind that some of you may find of interest.
Anyway, that's all from me for now
Till next time
