Hello there fellow darlings.
Oh how long it has been since ive wrote an entry, i do apologize for the inconvenience i have definitely been more busier than i expected to be when i started up this blogging account.
As you all know i am a College Student, and its that time of the year when mocks and assessments are due in and are to happen pretty soon. For me i started up a new lesson which i was greatly excited about, its Criminology Unit 1 and its so interesting yet so prolonged, i dont know how i handle a full 7 and a bit hours of doing it! All worth it in the end though if im planning to go to UNI i guess. It consists of 2 controlled assessments in order to get a degree in it, the first unit you have to pass before getting into unit 2 (obviously) but its all quite simple if you listen carefully to watch the teacher says and study as much as you can. The 'exam' if you could call it that, consists of a computer based essay of a type of brief, weve been given what our brief would be about, which is Euthanasia (if none of you know what Euthanasia is, then google it, its such a wide range of words that i cant even be bothered to spell out but it is very controversial in some cases and such a good argument to put in an essay!), we have to write about the biological, individualistic and sociological theories that is based around crime, and also mention how to prevent it, or how to legalize it? this is the argument, we are supposed to show our opinions, and base it around our the way that they can be identified and controlled. Its all very wordy-wordy in a non linguistic way, but it is extremely interesting, and it is also extremely easy! if you know what youre doing obviously, because you can take in all the different types of notes, and textbooks and work that youve printed off for revision as long as you know what youre looking for! So thats one thing thats been keeping me busy, including the start of A2 Media!
There has also been a lot going on at home, as you know with my dad, and also with my 18th!, Christmas, New Years etc, all the main holidays that has passed during the missing days of my entries. So where shall we start?
My 18th was amazing, it was on the 20th of December, and i got spoilt by lew and my family, the thing is i didnt want to be spoilt i just wanted a happy day with the people that i loved, the turn out was much bigger than i thought it was going to be, alot of my brothers old friends came round my house before going to the pub, and both my friends becky and jess were there who made the party even better, a long with my mother getting very drunk and not leaving the dance floor! but other than that it was a wonderful day, i didnt do much else, it was my 18th after all and i didnt even get ID'd! the thing is alot of people asked why i didnt go clubbing, i feel as though a lot of peoples brains are clouded by the excitement of going clubbing, not only would it be uncomfortable for me to be in, because of the confined spaces, and no breathing room whatsoever, so why would i enjoy it? with my heart aswell as my small irritation level and the fact that most clubs in cheltenham are surrounded with people in tewkesbury id rather not bump into every tom dick and harry in the club thanks, id rather have a nice quite night with people i enjoy being round at a pub with a cold pint and some good humor, than get dressed up to a suitable level in which im allowed into an actual club, thats what annoys me, you have to have a certain dress sense to actually be allowed in, but anyway like i said i dont think i would enjoy clubbing, just being able to go to a pub and feel comfortable enough buying alcohol is what im happy about. 18 isnt a huge number in my eyes.
5 days after that it was christmas and what a day that was! we had the whole family over at 6oclock when conar finished work, again we had to wait but it didnt matter, we all spoilt eachother and i think we all needed it this year, weve all been through alot, especially with everything with archie and i got to spend his first ever christmas with him! he was so cute, although he didnt understand what any of the presents are he sure seemed excited about what was going on! he is starting to understand the means of his presents now though, for a four month old baby he is growing fast!! constant trying to stand up and trying to roll over the little bugger, but yeah christmas was great, mum made the best dinner as always because shes wonderful!
And a couple of days after that i was on the train to Bath with lew! first train journey and i have to say i did enjoy it in a slightly awkward way, i sat on the wrong way of the train twice, which made me feel extremely sick, but i enjoyed it, in some weird way a train journey helps to clear your mind in a weird way, just looking out the window and being on a moving train, and also sat with a book in my hands, its the calmest way to take a journey. Lewis booked an apartment in the middle of bath town center and it really was a beautiful place, we had to self cater but it was nice because it seemed as though we were living together and thats always nice, we didnt do as much as we wanted to but it was a nice new year spent, apart from lew missing the countdown, that was hilarious. We went into the town, bought alot of movies chilled out watching the movies, had alot of dinners at our 'local' which is what we named it after finalizing that that was the best pub around to eat and drink in, best woowoo's ive ever drank! and we watched the football and had our new years meal there and it really was a lovely holiday, a nice getaway from the annoying bussel of tewkesbury, although it was only two nights, but unfortunately we had to come home at some point and again it was a calm train ride home, weird waking up in my own bed still in some weird way as it seemed so much of my own in bath.
After coming home not much happened, apart from more ruckus over family matters, i dont want to fully go into it but its still not sorted, and just trying to get myself back into a college routine as it takes me so long to do so, i can never get used to the timings on having to get up, or what essays i have to finish, i feel as though i have way too much work to remember for my exams, at least one of them is a bit easier than the other, i also have GCSE to pass, which has already been messed up once again! The teacher we had, Ian, he was okay but before christmas he stopped coming in and at the beginning of january he didnt turn up at all, and therefore we didnt have a teacher, a few of my friends had a serious conversation with our tutors and attempted to try and get a sub for our lessons, and we finally had a lesson today, and the teacher was awful, we stuck on one piece of paper for the whole entire lesson, and you know what it was such a waste of time! all about angles and we didnt even get answers by the end of it! she was more worried about her pencil cases being in exact order as they were when she gave them out.
At this precise moment in time, im in bed in my pyjamas, writing this (obviously) and watching criminal minds, and even writing back on how my last couple of months have been, i really do worship the people in my life, and appreciate everyone that is in it, i know for my family it has been a rough couple of years, and i cant even begin to think our strong we all are, more than ever, and i think this year will be our year, it definitely will be my year.
Im going to try so hard to be happy this year, and try to get my life sorted, college, career and everything else, and i hope family will be alot happier and calmer this year, i cant promise it of course but there isnt much we can do apart from hope. I feel alot more happier, and we have a plan sorted for how were going to do things from now on. We're also going to Ireland at some point this year, to see the rest of my family and spend some time with them, which im very much looking forward to. And im happy because lew is going to texas to see his dad, and he seems very excited and happy about it, it may be going over our 4 years but truthfully i dont care, i feel like its gotten to the point in our relationship when if something that you are doing makes you happy, that makes yourself happy, and he is so happy to be seeing his dad (and eating the american food haha, thats why i love him). As you can see, me and lew are both very well and we're doing brilliantly:)
SO
