Painting

Hi all!

We had an Inset day on Friday, so I decided to paint my room!

Good, eh? Not that most of you knew what it was like before...

I think it went fairly well, and the bonus is my room now looks twice the size, AND I've got a double bed. Double beds are good. I like double beds.

The con- my room is permeated with the smell of gloss. Now, I'm not averse to the smell of solvent based paint (it's not THAT bad), but every time the gloss is done in the house, and I can smell it, I wake up with a hangover. It's worse than a regular hangover, too. 

Gah, what else has happened this week? Not a great deal, actually... I sat down here with masses to write, but I can't remember any of it. 

OH, that's it. I'M GOING TO LEEDS. Not the city, the Festival, in August. Good eh? I'm massively excited for it. (I adore the Foo Fighters and Gaslight Anthem)

The grading at TKD is coming up soon, so I need to whip my classes into shape before I spend an entire Sunday shouting at them, ad giving out shiny new belts to the worthy.

Until next time.

Spontaneousness

I'm getting steadily worse at this, aren't I? Very well, from hereonin, I will update on Sundays, so I (in theory) have the whole week to write about! Good eh?

So, today I was pulled out of my usual It's-Sunday-Let's-Do-Nothing mindset by a call from a Mr William Gough telling me to 'be spontaneous' and 'seize the day'. Now, I live in a small village on the outskirts of the middle of nowhere. There isn't much to be spontaneous with or about. So, we wandered around with Lauren in tow (who should have been doing her art!) and filmed random things.

As Sod's Law of Cameras states, you only film the boring bits and miss the exciting bits. I'm afraid that's exactly what we did. Only there weren't many exciting bits. I do live in a small village on the outskirts of the middle of nowhere, where the most exciting thing to happen is the annual Welldressing Festival ("not to be missed!"- The Daily Day "The highlight of the social calender!"-Villages Bi-Monthly "Five stars!"- The Village Voice "What?"- The Times) In light of this, I don't even know what we did. We just walked around, and things happened. That's as much as I can remember, and it was only an hour ago. Either way, it will be in a V-Log (vlog?) At some point, and I'll link you if it's not too embarrassing.

January A-Level results cam out on Thursday (shock, horror). It's times like that when you realise how different GCSEs and A-Levels are. I wish I was doing GCSEs again; year 10s and 11s, take note.

It's time I got thinking about uni. Yes, I want to go. Yes, I'll be poor for the rest of my life, but hey. I'll have MPhys after my name, and that's damn cool. Top three at the moment:

1) Lancaster
2) Leicester
3) Leeds

No, I didn't just flick to the 'L' section of my prospectus library. They genuinely appeal the most to me. Durham does, too, but after my B in chemistry, the odds of me getting in there are slim at the very least.

I'm looking at (finally) getting ITF accredited for TKD instructing. I might start some kind of club at school in preparation...

Hey, by posting about school, I actually made a post relevant to the blog title! Sometimes, I even impress myself.

Until next time, folks.
