A Change Is Gonna Come

My blog posting has become even less frequent, for some unbeknownst reason! Well, school has been keeping me preoccupied and with year ten comes its massive workload. I've had to read Oliver Twist, do countless pieces of homework and extracurriculars in school too, such as Amnesty, Charity Taskforce, Debating club and Netball. On Wednesday 15th, I went on a Maths trip to Birmingham Uni. Then on Friday and today (Monday), we have teacher training days which are great and on Saturday, I went to my friend's quiz night to raise money for her trip to Sweden.

Other than all that, things have been pretty quiet around here. September is a busy month, next week I'm going out for food and ice cream with friends which is good. Haven't taken many photos lately, which is sad, but I will try and take some soon when the occasion warrants some picture taking.

I've been watching lots of films lately. Watched Lost In Translation, 10 Things I Hate About You, A Walk To Remember, Jumper and Envy over the past couple of weeks. Haven't had a chance to finish reading On The Road because I've had to read Oliver Twist for English.

I just love all of these photos, they're reminiscent of.. something special, something a little extraordinary. I don't really know what. I'm really intrigued by film, so hopefully for Christmas, I'll be looking into getting maybe a Holga or a Diana. Maybe even a Fuji Instax if my purse strings will allow it.

I'll try and get an outfit post in soon and I hope all you bloggers are keeping well. Happy blogging!

P.S. The title of this post is a great song by Sam Cooke. Fantastic bluesy, old-school soul. Listen to it and I defy you not to get a little bit teary. :-)

September

Hi all! So it's September. After an amazing holiday in America and lots of great moments throughout the summer, it was inevitable that it would end soon. On the 24th August, I went into school to get a few GCSE results and I obtained:

A* in ICT (100%!)
A* in Chemistry module
A* in Physics module
A in Biology module

So all in all, not too bad! Anyway, went to a sleepover the day before we got back to school. Went back on Thursday 2nd September, which seemed a bit pointless since it was only a two day week. Lessons started properly on Monday and I can already see the workload increasing exponentially over the next two years. I've already had five pieces of work in the last two days which doesn't bode well, not to mention being busy with debating society and now Amnesty International, netball, etc. Anyway, apart from that, life's been pretty normal.

For now, here are just a few photos that I took about a month ago when it was about 5 ish in the morning. I couldn't stop looking at the sky and I just thought that it looked so captivating. Also, the other photo is one of when I cut my fringe!

I'll be back to post at the weekend, maybe something a little more interesting, but no promises. I've still been checking out everyone's blogs and it's interesting how people are taking the whole back-to-school thing. Funnily enough, I don't mind it too much even though this next year is going to be ridiculously hard. But anyway, will be back soon!

Happy blogging!
