HI TEAM

She's back...!

The dreaded A Levels are over and I am a free person until October 2012. Isn't that a terrifying prospect. Within 2 hours of putting my pen down at the end of my last exam (Latin Prose, if you were interested- probably not) I was already freaking out about this next year; what I'm going to do, how I'm going to earn any money, where I'm going to live, et cetera. It's such a bizarre thing to be confronted with after 13 years of full-time education, especially with the last 8 of them being boarding - a year with no structured plans, as yet.

SO, I now embark upon a search for work of the boring, money earning kind (I just applied for a job at Waitrose, and had to ramble effusively about my PASSION for excellent food and friendly customer service, umm...) and also of the interesting, but probably NOT money earning kind... I'm hoping to get work experience placements at magazines or newspapers, publishing houses, etc. But without contacts in these areas it seems very difficult to break into. Well. We shall see, won't we!

ANYWAY, what this means for YOU is that I am no longer restricted by evil internet restrictions imposed upon me at ye olde english boarding school, and I can begin to post again a bit more frequently. But what I want to KNOW from you lot is what you're interested in me talking about. Do you enjoy my rantings about my life and whatnot (a life which I hope will start to become more interesting and blog-able [cringe] over the next few months) or would you rather I shut up and just give you glorious musical titbits? Do tell me. I like it when people talk to me, then I feel like I'm doing this for a reason rather than just as something that I'll look back on in 20 years time and cringe over what a pretentious little teenager I was!

Here's a song I listened to a lot during revision. It's beautiful, and gets pretty intense later on. Tis especially good through headphones. Shut out the outside world, blah blah. Epic.

  1. I've actually heard this song somewhere and it's super.

    HAAAAAH YOU GO TO A BOARDING SCHOOL that is so funny. It's like, so stereotypical "English". I feel like boarding school would kind of suck sometimes though.

    Wait, are you a senior? Did you just graduate? Blahhhh? If you are then I have some seriously old friends (ho ho ho)

  2. you guys have a ball. that. is. so. sweet. we have awkward ceremonies... DO THEY PLAY CLASSICAL MUSIC AT THEM? IS THERE A BALLROOM INVOLVED LIKE IN SOUND OF MUSIC? DO YOU LIVE IN THE STEREOTYPICAL SKINS-ESQUE HOUSES AND COBBLED STREETS? BECAUSE THOSE DON'T EXIST IN MY CITY AT ALL BECAUSE I LIVE IN STEPFORD AT LEAST. (omg I suck.)

    speaking of omg and stereotypical... janky english teeth! yaaaay! georgia may jagger is gorgeous. I want her whole eveything.

  4. YOUR SCHOOL IS THE CUTEST. I've always been like "omg I want to go to a school in GREAT BRITAIN". Do you ever feel like you're in Hogwarts? Because I would. Also all of the kids look creepy-happy. Also a pool table in a dorm whaaat?

    That's what my friend calls them, "janky british teeth". I don't know. Us Americans are all metal-mouthed so it's a slight reputation in england to have janky teeth. But I think it adds to the character. Like the rolling hills and the accent and the better chocolate. I mean Hershey's? Really? Such a joke.

    If I was a middle aged man I'm not really sure how that would work. Maybe I have impeccable style and I kidnap the same girl over and over and dress her in my huge collection of clothes that all magically fit her. But you can't figure out where skype comes from really so I guess we have one up for creepy pedophiles. (I would know. My old school showed us this lovely slideshow of all these people who got killed and raped by internet people and it was really horrible and I AM SCARRED. Mostly- DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR ADDRESS OR YOU ARE DAMNED.)

    Also! To make this comment even more annoyingly long. We don't have castles. Which is one other reason why America is lame. (Also we don't have enough Matt Smith and David Tennant. DROOL.)(omg STEREOTYPICAL)(I guess if I was stereotypical american child I would love JBiebs and have no taste? Or something? Help me out here.)
