It's been nearly two months since my last post, and well, I'm not quite sure why really. Laziness maybe? I feel it's simply not knowing what to say or what people want to read any more. Anyway, today is supposed to be the happiest day of the year due to it being a Saturday, and in August - everyone's favourite month. Have you enjoyed yourself today? What did you get up to?
Since the last time I wrote, a fair amount has happened. The end of year prom occurred for one. In my opinion it was mediocre but nevertheless pleasant. I also joined the gym. I am really getting into my programme there and I do enjoy a challenge. Despite this, I haven't been down for two weeks. For one of the weeks I was in Devon. I found the holiday lovely overall. The weather was good and the beaches on the Devon coastline are stunning. Nearly as stunning as Tamsin Egerton ;) I even managed to burn/tan by lying on the beach; it's what I call an Irish tan. My hair has gone blonder too. I returned home today, and I was wondering: why did my family settle down in the Slough area? I mean even the name suggests it's a dump.
After failing to find employment this summer despite applying to several places, I turned to selling clothes to increase my inflows. It's been quite successful actually. With the profits, I have bought a new watch, new shoes and a Burberry trench coat. Still, it's frustrating not being able to find work. At this rate the majority of school leavers will be claiming benefits which is a bigger drain on the economy than providing jobs for young people. Perhaps apprenticeships are the way forward then. Ok I'll stop now, every cloud and all that...
Other little things have happened here and there, but mainly the holidays have just been relaxing. The only disconcerting feeling I have is the thought of results day later on this month. I know exam results aren't the end of the world and life goes on, but they are important. I know some of the exams didn't go too well for me. So good luck to everyone, and if your not receiving results, then that's grand too. I hope everyone thoroughly enjoys the remaining time off and I'll see you all again in September.
