Last Shift!

Well, in half an hour I am gong to begin my last ever shift at the Leagate.  This is so sad, i love that place so much, and the people there.  After almost two years i've got pretty close to everyone there, we've had some great times and I'm going to miss them.  But change happens, i'll just have to keep visiting :-)

1 Year!!!

I cannot believe that it is one whole year ago today that my amazing adventure in LA began.  It was the most amazing experience of my life, and I really wish that I was there right now.  So thanks Alex and Tiff, after a whole year of thinking about it, it still seems amazing.  I looked through my scrap book today, as I do quite frequently, I'm still very proud of it.  Hopefully in the not to distant future I'll come and wreak havoc in your lives again.  Miss you! xxx

It's over...

Well, after almost fourteen years of my life, I am done with school!  Today was my last ever school exam, and the last time I ever have to go to school, at all.  I have mixed feelings about this, on one hand it is the beginning of the rest of my life, and what looks to be one of the most exciting experiences ever.  But, on the other hand, I don't want to leave at all, School has been the 'normality', the thing that I have done everyday, what my life has revolved around for the last fourteen years.  I don't want to leave that, it's not that I like the place, it's the idea, my life is changing and it's terrifying, exciting, but terrifying.  I can't wait to get to university, but I know this summer is going to go far too fast, and that there will be so many things I won't get done.  I am going to miss so many great people, and probably even the people who aren't so great.  I love my friends, but I can't wait to make new ones, in a new place, and I hope I keep in touch with the old ones.  So, the years ahead are going to be full of adventures, I hope they are good for everyone that I know, and that they get what they want, if it's what they should have.  Granny always said 'everything happens for a reason'.

Last Day!

Well, the time that is ahead of me is so exciting, filled with new adventures and new challenges and I'm so excited for that.  But... this time is also filled with a lot of goodbyes and endings, which I'm not looking forward to so much.  Friday was my last day of school, which we had been counting down to since september, but then when it got to the day, i didn't want it.  I'm ready to leave a lot of things about school, but it really is a huge step, seven years spent there has suddenly finished and I feel a bit lost to be honest.  It was a really fun day, and most of our year, as well as a couple of staff went out in the evening, which was great.  I just can't believe it's over, school has been the regular thing in my life for the last fourteen years.  Thursday was also my last day at volleyball, which was also sad.  I've met some amazing people over the last few years, and I'm so grateful for that, but i just don't feel ready to leave them, not yet.  The end was inevitable, we'll stay in touch, but it won't be the same.  I guess it's just one of those things that has to happen, September will bring whatever it does and i'll go along with it.  I just wish i had longer.

Growing up

It's really strange to think I only have two terms left at school, then I have to go into the big world. School is what I have 'done' for the last fourteen years of my life, and I suppose i'm just a bit bewildered to think that I wont be there any more. I really want to leave, and go to university, but it's strange. Iwant to go and meet new people, experience new things etc, but what about my old friends and the old things? We have had a countdown calendar up since September, which was fun, but now it just feels like our last year at school is almost over, and we haven't done half the things we said! Ah well, onward and upward?
