Canon

I can't believe that it's almost the end of half term already! I've been quite busy, had a sleepover and IKEA adventure on Thursday and Friday last week... Then on Sunday, had a day out with my mum, sister, aunty and gran, stayed round at my grandma's and spent a whole day out and went to another IKEA... I know, I can't believe it either, two trips to IKEA in the space of a week! But I had a good few days, which was really nice.

Apart from that, I've been watching loads of television now that we have Freesat, which is way way way better than Freeview. I've also been procrastinating and trying to do some work; my Biology module is coming up on 11th November, which is quite nervewracking as I only got an A in my first module. Anywho, also lots of Art coursework and stuff like that. I also have a terrible cold and cough, my nose is like a tap (sorry to be so blunt)! :-(







I love my friends! :-)

Been watching DVDs and listening to loads and loads and loads of Sam Cooke. Been nursing this cold with cups of tea and blankets. I'm gonna try and relish the next few days of freedom, before the impending daily doom and gloom that is school. Hope everyone else is enjoying their week, weekend's almost here!

Happy blogging!

This subject title is devoted to my absolute favourite piano piece ever, Canon in D Major by Pachelbel. It is honestly one of the single most beautiful pieces of music ever. Take a listen here!

I'm In Here

This week has been pretty long, even though we had a day off school on Thursday (Pupil Review Day). Went out for some shopping and buffet-eating with my friends, it was such a nice day and I had a lovely time, even though I neglected to bring my coat out with me and resorted to shivering throughout the day and trying to stay in the heated shops for as long as possible. We bought presents for my friend, Abi, stuffed our faces at the buffet and then spent the rest of the day at Abi's. Then the rest of the week was Charity Week at school, which I'm part of, and I presented some stuff in assemblies, raised lots of money and then it was non-uniform day. I wore my purple Burberry blazer, jeans and a cream Gap top - didn't get any pictures though!

Oooh and I bought a new book, which I've been wanting for ages, like over two years, but it has never been in stock whenever I've gone to Waterstone's. It's Running With Scissors, a memoir by Augusten Burroughs. Never mind the fact that I have two other books on the go at the moment, I've already started reading it and it's amazing!





Sorry for being so vain up there, I was in a bored mood this afternoon! Anywho, I'm going out tomorrow, so best be off to write this English essay on Oliver Twist and try and do some more revision (it's only October and I already have tests and exams to revise for!) Hope everyone's doing well, it's getting so cold already and so dark at like seven o'clock! I am not relishing the upcoming few months! Happy blogging!

P.S. This song is I'm In Here, by Sia! She is such a great singer, her music makes me really want to think and to contemplate, sort of like it gives me clarity or something. Listen to her here!

A Sunday Smile

Thanks to those who commented on my drawing and everything, it's such an affirming thing so thanks so much! Anyway, just wanted to show you a couple of photos of two items I bought in America, at the outlets in Chicago. I bought a beautiful Ralph Lauren cable knit jumper for 60 USD and then I snapped up an amazing bargain on some beige trousers for 15 USD!




Right now, school and homework is taking up my time, as is reading, watching Gossip Girl, Ugly Betty and The Apprentice and sleeping... So glad to be getting into blogging again, it's so good to have another outlet to just vent or comment on things and to just talk. It feels good. I can't believe I've had this blog for only just over a year, feels like a lifetime!

Happy blogging!

P.S. It's not Sunday, but the title of this post is 'A Sunday Smile', a brilliant song by Beirut. Go check it out! :-)

Drawing

As usual, school is becoming the very bane of my entire life right now. This lack in posting is most likely linked to my decreasing number of followers, sorry guys! Anyway, I'm making a proper effort to start posting more regularly, even if it doesn't seem like it. This post is gonna be a sort of showcase of the first few bits of artwork I've done in my project thus far.

It's based on footwear, culture, planting your roots and stuff like that, I suppose. It's really interesting and I think it's so good to do a creative subject at GCSE, just to have that sort of creative outlet.







As I said, I've been pretty busy lately and blogging really has taken a backseat. I keep saying that I'll start posting more often, but I dunno. Hopefully, I will from here on in! Yesterday, I chilled out and read Oliver Twist and did housework for my momma. Just a lazy day and then I watched the new series of Strictly Come Dancing (I seriously love that programme!) Today, I watched Ugly Betty and then in the afternoon, I went out with my sister, mum and two friends for ice cream. I had hot brownie with two scoops, it was so nice. But now I have a cold and the weather is all terrible!

Anywho, the weekend has gone really quickly, but half term is in three weeks so hopefully I will be a bit more interesting by the time half term comes round.

Happy blogging!
