Christmas trees, frost and life changes.

Random name for a blog don't you think?

Outside it is currently 0°C...that means it is absoloutley freezing and if you dont wear gloves you're screwed! Haha

A lot has been happening recently, maybe I shall reveal all, maybe not.

Today we went up to Focus and bought 2 christmas tree's ...as it was 60% off....60%!!!! So we managed to get some baubles, lights, a light up snowman (which we had to fight another woman for)...2 christmas trees and a real little christmas tree for outside the front door :D ..

So I got home and put the pre-lit one up in the conservatory and it looks really nice :) Smudgey and Billy tried to eat it, and then they fell asleep in the box haha cute.

I dont miss college at all!!!! I started my apprenticeship last Monday and its awesome! Started on 2 days of first aid training, doing CPR on dummies and stuff like that...rather fun! Everyone is so nice there :) there's an american girl and shes so funny...love everyone already!...and there's 2 other Rachel's..haha.

Im really happy :) I found someone at last...and he's amazing :) xx

2nd Blog of the day.

ANOTHER BLOG?!

What on earth is going on here? Truth is...I felt like it Okay?

You may or may have not read my first blog today...giving the details of the past month.

But , this 2nd blog is just a usual blog...

Today, I woke up and found myself home alone. Everyone was at work and school...and so I went downstairs and flicked on the TV. You would be suprised that morning TV is actually very good! So I turned onto channel 4 and there was a documentary on about a 17 year old guy who is hooked on weed. Sad story really, he's violent and addicted and his family have to suffer. Felt sorry for his sister who cant cope much longer with his violent outbursts. :( and I thought my brother's were bad....
Then I watched to buy or not to buy...which I love. Im sad for a 17 year old, watching all these property programmes..but hey! It passed the time.
Went upstairs and hung around the computer for a while until Mum came back, and then we went to ASDA. I've always loved ASDA...everything is stupidly cheap with buy one get one free offers and tons of stuff for a mere £1. Mum says I make her spend money so I was trying to be good but we ended up spending more than we needed too.... guess that was cause of those delicious yum yum's.....*ahh*
We came back from ASDA and I got a mcdonalds mmm . I had the M burger and it was delicious, then off we went to pick up David and Sam from School.
After seeing my old school again I felt a twinge of sadness, I really did like school. Sure it had its ups and downs, the painful homework and coursework, stupid PE lessons and patheticness of the teacher who wrote you down as late at 9:55 in the morning ....but I miss school really. I left in June and have only been back for my GCSE results and that was it really. I miss the support of Mrs Lloyd my form tutor, the good friends, my science lessons (which was a doss...but I still managed a C pass!) and just the general atmosphere. I felt old when the rest of them came out and some of them recognised me I think....ah those school memories.
Now Im at home, Ive just washed up and cleaned the kitchen a bit cause it was messy as heck..and now Im on here...blogging away. Its weird cause I have these little sessions where I have to clean...Its like the other day I woke up and said to Sam...Ok Im hoovering your room...make way lol :P Ah well..
Now , outside it is cold..and the sun is melting away into the horizon until you can only see a smidgen of it left...the sky is swept with a blanket of darkness...and tiny stars are emerging from their wake.
Yes. There are some things I do love about winter.

I Think I'll try defying gravity...

.....you'll never bring me down.
Defying Gravity - Wicked.

Well, here I am again, blogging. I didnt think Id see this coming for a while. So much has happened in the last month its hard to fit it all in.

October
It was my 17th birthday on the 17th of october. I had the day off college and had gone to the swan at forton for my birthday lunch with mum, donna, mark and marks mum and baby finlay. In the evening my dad and I went to pick up Nicky from Manchester as I had invited her to stay with us for my birthday weekend. It was so great to see her again, and the next day we boarded a cramped train to Birmingham for a shopping spree at the bullring. We had an awesome time comprising of lots of shopping, gawping at £59 Gucci baby gro's in Selfridges, and seeing live bands outside as part of this Festibull event that was taking place. It was great!

Ok so I had an awesome birthday weekend, but it was the completle opposite at New College. So you might have seen my blog about my first week at New College and got the impression it was all hunky-dory...and it was! I wont deny that. But over the course of October I had so many problems with friends, not feeling accepted and had lost all interest in wanting to work. I had to move media groups because I couldnt cope with it, and had faced stress after stress.

So I carried on, thinking ah It will get better....I'll meet new people and such. So I kept optimistic.

Last week I went on a trip to London with the english department and dont get me wrong it was an amazing trip. We visited the natural history museum, science museum, war museum, walked around London after catching hundreds of tube's...saw 2 amazing shows including Wicked which was the highlight of this trip and the song from it called "Defying Gravity" became my number 1 song at the moment....I had an amazing time. But during the way home, I had a thought to myself. This was great, showing people around London (I had been the week before) ...leading people....I didnt want to go back to college and get back into the hard slog of A-Levels. This, along with everything else eventually lead to days of worry, sadness and despair on what to do. It came to the decision that I was to leave college and start something new, something pratical that I could get stuck into and...earn money.

So if anyone reads this, It has been a very interesting month...well year for me. I passed all my GCSE's...got to college..couldnt handle it and now im off on something completley different.

I hope I can see what is right for me not what is right for everyone else. Things that I thought were going to suit me have turned out the opposite way, and friends I thought I had...well they werent friends in the end.

So. I guess thats a MAJOR update.
