It snowed again today!! I'm not in college this week because of half term so I don't mind it! The flakes were massive so it looked really pretty outside! I managed to catch one on my hoodie sleeve but it melted before I could take a picture of it!
I've managed to do quite a lot of work today which I'm really happy about, only Ancient history and English lit work to go! Well, and reading, but I don't really count that as work because it's fun and I enjoy it. I've also wanted to read Jane Eyre since I did it in play form at secondary school, my Grandma bought me a gorgeous version of the with really nice thick pages and such a pretty cover but sadly I never got time to read the whole thing! Luckily I'm getting to read it now and it's fantastic!
I've managed to fill my iPhone up, I've had to start taking songs and apps off my phone! :(
I'm seeing my old school friends tomorrow, I'm visiting when they're still in school which will be fun! More on that tomorrow!

6 months!
So I've been running this blog for 6 months now! How crazy is that?! I can't believe it, it feels so much longer than that!
Sorry I haven't been blogging a lot recently, I've had rather a lot of work so it's been quite hectic! Sadly, it's now half term and I have a lot of work to do still so I won't be able to post very often, maybe every other day if I'm lucky.
Yesterday night I went to an end of exams party with my friends from my secondary school, held by their sixth form. It was amazing!! I got to spend time with my old friends, and people that had moved to my old school that I'd known before which was amazing to see so many familiar faces! I love my college and my friends there, but I'll always be a part of my friend group from secondary school, we just work together. I also get to see them on Tuesday because my half term is the week before theirs so I'm visiting them when they're still in school! I'm so excited!
I also saw the Autumn line for Kate Spade on instagram earlier, their clothes are so beautiful! I just wish their clothes were cheaper and more readily available in the UK instead of having to go all the way to London to get them! I'm actually in love with some of the pieces being released! It looks like they've made a yellow ballet shoe that has a taxi sign on it, they're adorable! I need more money desperately!
I have to read Jane Eyre for English lit, it's such a good book! It's taking me a while to get through it but I've read over 100 pages today which I'm pretty happy with! I need to read it by the end of half term so hopefully I'll get it done.
Hopefully I'll write again soon!

Shake things up a bit!
Last night I changed the background for this slightly! Instead of the birds and trees, it's now a bit darker with leaves! I find it strange because I'm so used to the other one, but I like it and I'll get used to it after a while!
Dan and Phil's radio show today was just fantastic, probably the best it's ever been! I haven't laughed that much or that hard for a long time...I can always count on Phil and Dan to make me smile. :)
I've been doing a lot of Classics homework today in prep for an essay next week...yay. Because of this, I've been on YouTube, and I started listening to King by Lauren Aquilina (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q_6Rw1R7kg&list=FLzppRwVNOGY1R4GjxH1awVg). Through this, I found Fools. Honestly, Lauren Aquilina is fantastic, these two songs have become some of my favourites that I can just listen to no matter what. If you haven't heard her, listen. She's amazing!

My desk
My desk is pretty cluttered. You can only see my desktop, laptop and a few of my CDs lines up in the picture but yeah, it's pretty bad!
My desktop is dying (the replacement to the last one that died...) after 6 years of awesomeness, and the side of the screen flickers...so I covered it in space invaders post it notes that I got for Christmas! They're so cool and amazingly useful! And they cover the flicker amazingly well!
I actually love my desk though, there are so many little things that are just me. Its a completely personal space filled with stuff that's worthless to anyone else that sees it but means a lot to me. For example, the heart you see on a stick you see poking out from behind my laptop? I made that in Design Tech in year 8, one of the only projects I finished from years 7-9. It's a balancing toy so it spins if you poke one of the 2 bars on the side of the heart. It's great fun! And it makes a funny sound when it spins! I also have stacks of CDs and DVDs to the right of my desk, it's pretty awesome because for once there isn't any order and they're just piled where there is space! I got the DVDs and some of my CDs from my auntie and uncle over the last Christmas and birthday!
I also have a stack of random pieces of paper to the left of the picture that you can't see. They all have some significance in my life, old lists or people's names written down, something I wrote or drew that I decided to keep because it was cool, things like that!
So yeah! It's awesome and personal and I love it!

The people may be gone, but memories are forever.
I decided to go through my old facebook conversations today, and I was amazed at how many people I'd lost contact with!
It's funny how you look back through and you can see different stages of your life because of the people you spoke to and the conversations you had with them, I'm also amazed that I was friends with some of the people I used to talk to! If you see them and me now, you'd also wonder, trust me...
But yeah, even though I was quite sad remembering some of the memories that came back when I saw the people's names (and quite glad that some aren't in my life anymore frankly), I still appreciate the people who were in my life before, because they've ultimately shaped me to be who I am today!
Sure, some memories are good, others are bad. Others make you question your mental state at the time! But everything you do shapes and influences you, and that includes people, so appreciate friends while you can, learn from mistakes and don't be scared to let go, because in the end, all of these things will help you to become a better you. Try not to look back on memories with sadness that they've passed, but with fondness that they happened. Things only happen once so enjoy them while they last! And take lots of pictures while you're at it so you'll be able to look back on everything later on!
Just make sure you appreciate everyone around you and tell them because they won't be there forever, and you'll regret it once they're gone.
Live, Laugh, Love people!

Train of thought.
I use the train quite a lot, it's relatively cheap and most of the time, quicker than the car. Sure, it can get pretty expensive if you go to somewhere half way across the country or in London, and sometimes they're delayed by stupid amounts but most of the time it's good!
I like saving all of my train tickets like I save my cinema tickets, they give me little reminders of what happened and what happened that day!
I can roughly place who I was most likely with using the date, and half the time, if the destination isn't somewhere I usually go, I'll be able to remember that day quite easily! It's a nice way of having a memento of a day out without having something proper that I spent money on specifically. It's quite lucky that I have a good memory for dates and places really!
I have my train tickets all in a little bundle by my computer where it's easy to find, so next time I go somewhere by train, I can add the ticket to my pile! It's a stack of memories really!
I know it seems a bit weird, but I love being able to remember little things, because they're usually the good memories you cherish when they're in the past and the people are gone. You don't remember the big things so much as their little quirks and habits and things especially unique to them. It's the same with places and names. I associate some places with people, and in turn I remember the times I've had there with people!
I hope that I have a pile that's huge eventually, and hopefully I'll be able to remember what happened yeas in the future!
