2015 so far

So we haven't had a little catch up recently and I know what you're thinking by the title...it's only the 1st March! 

Up where I live, we have yet to see snow despite it being incredibly cold like everyday. This I am grateful for...not the cold but the lack on snow. Yes it's pretty and I guess fun to play in if you are of a certain age but I hate it. The only times I can actually enjoy it is when I'm wrapped up warm inside with a mug of hot chocolate and the fire is on.

January brought the dreaded prelims. For those who have no clue what I'm talking about, England call them mocks which are practically practises for the actual exams which I sit in May. Unfortunately I didn't do too great in these but it proves I can only get better in time.

School work is having it's ups and downs especially my folios. I love art and my class is like a little family but it can be so boring sometimes. Having almost completed my design folio, I had to more onto expressive which is a nightmare. The standard thing to do is fruit, fabric and glass etc but because I was fed up with that I decided to theme mine around cameras...but I've come to s standstill. Having not completed my first drawing I moved onto the second to find myself wasting periods staring at it. Any advice on concentrating and getting a task done? I would be so thankful!

Last week we were told we had to make our 6th year subject choices. An information lunchtime was organised and pretty much everyone went along to find out more. At first I had no idea what I wanted to do...other than no way was I taking three Advanced Highers! Although I just moaned about it above I actually am going to take Adv. Art & Design and well as Adv. Pure Maths...you might think I'm crazy for considering it but not as mad as those wanting to do Adv. English in my eyes. Along with those two I am considering crashing Higher Business Management as it looks interesting and I think I've come to conclusion about my future at university which BusMan could help with.

It's not till June but so many people are talking about it...the school dance. Currently there is so much stress about dresses that it's got to a point where there is a group on facebook for the girls in my year to post photos on their dresses. Fun fact...I am actually in town right now trying on different colours and styles in order to find my perfect dress.

If you know of any websites that sell long dance/prom style dresses please send me links as I'm struggling!

If you've been reading my blog all month you will know that I went to London in the February break. I promise there will be posts full of photos from my trip soon but I didn't have time this week to sort through things and write a proper post. These will go up in about two weeks as I have a special post planned for next week!

What've you been up to recently?
