I haven’t blogged in a while. Not since I started college actually. Since then a lot has happened – I made some good friends, drummed in what can only be described as ‘Shakespeare in Space – The Musical’, enjoyed some hardcore studying, learned how to complete the 3×3 Rubik’s Cube, went to Prague, hung out with my Aunty Kelly (who’s leaving tomorrow), played computer games, been snowed on (left), argued ethics, bought a laptop, had an exam and rearranged my room. This post is about only about two of these things, namely my exams and my conquering of the 3×3 Rubik’s Cube.

I start college tomorrow. I’m really eager to get into it, but a little nervous. Not for any specific reason, but for the last five years I’ve had the same routine every school day, and now it’s changing. You’d think that, as I hated Moseley School with a passion, I would love to leave it behind, but I think I’m going to miss it a bit. You know where you stand when most people dislike you.
I like meeting new people though. I’m really looking forward to new friends, new teachers and new lessons. I’ve chosen English Language, Art and Design, Music Technology, Modern History and Philosophy. I also chose a Musical Activities ‘Enrichment’ course, which is pretty much playing in a jazz ensemble, soul band or orchestra. There’s a choir, but I really don’t sing. Halfway through the year I’ll have the opportunity to do the AQA Baccalaureate. That’s just some extra stuff like an Extended Essay and some work experience. I’m excited about it. (more…)

On Friday I got back from Berlin. It was a school-based exchange trip with Danish, German and English people. I had a great time and I’m making plans to go to Denmark and visit the Danes again. They were cool.
Monday
I had to get to school at the normal time to catch the minibus to Nottingham (that’s where the plane was leaving from). I had to hand in History coursework, but I didn’t need school uniform so overall it was ok.
The flight to Berlin was about ten minutes faster than expected which was cool. We then took a bus and a tube to the school and did some drama excersises and that thing where you sit in a circle, taking turns to stand up and say your name. It was a little lame, but bearable.
After that we took our bags to the hostel and got settled in after a nice meal at an Italian restaurant. We played Truth or Dare for a while then went to bed.

I know I haven’t been blogging as regularly as I should, so to make up for it I’m writing more than I usually do.
I’ve actually been quite busy recently with jobs, Christmas and New Years. I’ve decided to jump into the world of work early to get an idea of what it’s like. Not bad…
I designed a website for a singer songwriter called Heather. She has a blog about women like herself and wished that she could have a better website. I thought this was a great opportunity to try out my web design skills, so I gave it a shot.
Heather is now the proud owner of LyricalVenus.com. She wanted it turquoisey so that’s how I made it. I personally preferred it a heavy dark green, but I’m £165 richer than I was a week ago so I shouldn’t complain.
Additionally, if anyone would like a cheap, hosted Wordpress blog I would be happy to design it for you. I charge £200, but out of that I pay for the hosting of your new website. A fresh set of graphics created with your input comes standard. If necessary, blogs and comments can be transferred from your old blog to the new.

I’m naturally a messy person, it’s who I am. But there is a limit to the amount of mess I will happily endorse and contribute to.
The aftermath of my sixteenth birthday party was horrifying. Like, it wasn’t hugely messy (by my standards anyway) but the mess wasn’t clothes and cd’s.
It was soggy crisps, wads of cake and moist patches in the carpet. That’s just unhygienic. And gross…
The party was from about 8:30 PM until 3:00 AM. It was a mostly awesome party, but there were a few annoying things about it.
