Power Walk Baby, Power Walk!

A bonding experience. That is how a brutal 7 mile walk was sold to us - a chance to get to know our tutor groups and talk to some new people as we traipsed through the wilderness. I am not a walker - nor have I ever been a walker - so needless to say I was not looking forward to this. In anticipation for the trek I bought blister plasters, memory foam and foot wipes (I felt very prepared) . 






For some reason before we got on the buses to take us to our starting point I felt reading to run a marathon or in the words I gleefully exclaimed whilst practically jogging in place "I could climb a mountain!" - Why do I say these things? This enthusiasm lasted a while - we stepped off the coach, abandoned the walking in tutor groups idea and headed on route. My feet were coping well with the foot protection I had purchased and I was still on my little high - all was well.

However after a brief lunch break in a field I found myself walking with one of my friends but also between lover boy and D the determined which was awkward to say the least....

L.B - "So are your feet ok?"
D - "Hey! I've all ready asked her that"
L.B - "Well maybe she'll give me a different answer!"


After an hour of that I really was starting to feel the pain of walking on uneven ground in the middle of a forest whilst having two boys offering to carry me (Once again I feel nothing but guilt about these two!) . 
The final stretch brought us to another filed where we had to wait an hour for the bus to come and collect us - in the mean time I went to sleep using my friend as a pillow. Bonding? - it was never going to happen.

The tragedy of being a marshmallow.

I must have bi polar or something; in the space of two days I went from hating Sixth Form to absolutely loving it! Lessons have gotten better and I've gotten to know some new people which is also cool. Though whilst I was sitting in the common room with a newly purchased bag of marshmallows (bored out of my skull by the way... so don't think I'm crazy when you read this next sentence) and I realised it must be a hard life if you were a marshmallow. Being made to look all cute and fluffy then mercilessly being dunked into a steaming hot beverage - ridiculous. As I say I was tremendously bored when I came up with revelation but I still thought I'd share it.



In other news... lover boy asked me out. My heart completely wrenched at that moment; I had no idea what to say. I panicked and ended up just, "Thank you for asking... I just can't" I'm so socially inept. Boys have never been my strong point anyway.... any one I like never likes me... it's probably saved me a lot of trouble in all honesty.

And finally my first drama task is to go somewhere and 'observe someone' - basically stalking! Then right down any mannerisms they have... I'm quite concerned by this in all honesty.

Autumn has taken full prominence and I love it more than anything, the chill in the air is so refreshing :)

I hope everyone has had a good week and I just want to say I really do appreciate every comment and follow!

Well that's something to look forward to!

Though I'm sad that's summer's ending, one of the cure for the end of summer blues is to realise all the awesome things that I have to look forward to in the fall!

  • My trip to Edinburgh! I've never been to Edinburgh before and it's supposed to be beautiful and full of history... and shops. 
  • Starting Sixth Form! I think this may be quite scary in some respects but I'm more than ready for this new phase in my life, hopefully it'll bring along some new adventures too.
  • Beauty and The Beast! Tale as old as time... I've been rehearsing for this since summer began and I cannot wait to perform it in November :)
  • I love Belle - She's such a bookworm 
  • Spring Awakening! - Many of my friends are in an amateur production of Spring Awakening, they've been working so hard on it and I cannot wait to see it.
There are other upsides to Autumn of course such as the sound of the leaves crunching beneath my shoes, the refreshing chill of the morning wind that clears the air and the fun of Halloween. Lets make this Autumn a good one :)

Do any of you have anything your particularly looking forward to in the Autumn? Please comment :)

Nothing feels as strange as when the leaves begin to change...

Summer's nearly over and I honestly can't quite believe it. I still have so much stuff I need to do, from school shopping to general summer adventures! Why can't I get motivated? I seem to waste my days away sitting here at my lap top and I'm getting a bit sick of it. I want to get active and to become full of the joys of spring (well, summer) but I just don't know how. Everything seems in such a weird little jumble right now, my friends are dreading there GCSE results where as I'm just not even thinking about them, my other friend is totally obsessing about some guy and here I am... floating in space. Just kinda lost you know?

I'll be glad to throw myself back into studying in September in all honesty and focusing on Drama again, I miss acting and hopefully I can start again in the Autumn. Oh and thanks for all the advice on the the boy who wouldn't give up  it helped.... kind of. Then he suggested that we run away and start a new life in Lanzarote. Maybe the ignore him thing isn't working?

Do any of you ever feel in kind of a floaty state... nothings quite settled? And any suggestions about how to handle 'lover boy'? Please comment! :)
