A lot to discuss in this post today. Well, only two major things really...
Firstly, something happy and exciting... I have finally finished my exams! I am done with school forver! Unless I don't get the grades I need for Roehampton, then I'm screwed. But, I'm not thinking like that. The exam was okay, I suppose, but this last week I have been breathing Spanish, so I'm having a little break from it.
Michael Jackson
If you don't know what day it is today, then I, personally, am ashamed. Of course it is the anniversary of the death of the King of Pop. Yes, it has been a year to the day that I was in London for the first time ever (and now I'm going to be living there in September!) where we found out the dreaded, shocking and truly unbelievable news of MJ's death. It's true that I didn't believe it when a friend of mine received a text stating the horrible fact.
A close friend of mine always says that the memory of MJ's death is my face the next morning watching the rerun of Jackson's videos on the news. Apparently, I looked like I was about to cry. The next day, I did.
So, that was when he died. Since then, I have obtained the entire collection of his albums, admittedly not the various compilations of the top ten or top twenty, but I have every song he ever released. Also, my mum and dad bought me the classic 'This Is It' DVD that I (again admittedly) missed in the cinema.
He has been so influencial in my life as an artist, that I got his song lyrics tattooed on my skin and I continually listen to his music every day. Most importantly, his song 'Keep the Faith' has been a mantra for my exams and it has calmed my nerves (just slightly) every time. For that, I thank him... for making a difference in my life.

End of an Era.
The end is near. Only of this chapter of my life though - I've still got a hell of a journey to make yet.
I cannot believe that it has been seven years since I started my secondary school, the legendary Weatherhead High School!! Honestly, it has been the best time of my life and I have loved everything about being a girl in high school.
Yesterday was the Leavers Assembly and I don't think I have seen so many people cry in one room (me being one of them!) and it's amazing how everyone has grown as friends together in our year! So, we left on a high... getting very drunk and drinking from at the latest one in the afternoon until at least (for me anyway) 3 o'clock this morning. It was a very long afternoon and one of the most fun in a long time.
I'm not going to lie... I'm going to miss it!
But, Roehampton... here I come!!

Busy Bee...
OH MY GOSH!! (now listening to Usher's new song which i love)
It describes my recent feelings of the past week or so because I have had such a busy week. It's unreal.
I woke up on Tuesday morning quite excited about the day ahead - travelling in LONDON. I love London! Me and my mum got everything ready and she even had to take a cheeky trip to the local Primark, getting there before 9am so that she could buy a bag that was London etiquette and also cheap and also big enough for her stuff. Whilst she did that, I got my bag ready, both bags from London Fashion Week! Mum returned and we went to get the 9:46 bus to Liverpool.
It didn't come until 10:08.
Of course, madre was panicking because she thought we were going to miss the 10:48 train.
We got there at around 10.20 so it was fine. Even had time to take a trip to WH Smith's and buy some reading material aka Glamour and Cosmopolitan.
We jumped onto the train and sat in the Quiet Zone where at first we weren't so quiet. I don't exactly have a quiet voice therefore I got a few looks saying 'Be quiet or die!'. I didn't.
I'd started reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer and o to the m to the g, i LOVE it!! It is such an amazing book and it's different aswell with the furturistic idea that the human race will die out to souls. How cool is that idea? And then humans are the outsiders! Plus, it kind of shows humanity as sticking together no matter what race or sex you are because let's face it, if the scenario did happen, no ones going to exactly be prejudice against other people of their own kind. I loved it! Finished it on Wednesday on the way home.
At 1.00 we arrived in Landan Town to go and jump on the Victoria line to Vauxhall. The tube wasn't too busy. Knowing the outings that my mother and I have, something was bound to go wrong. It did. Firstly, the tickets wouldn't work to get the train to Barnes, bust luckily, there was such a nice train ticket guy that he let us through. I fell in love.
We arrived in Barnes and walked for ten minutes in the heat and found Roehampton University and i fell in love. It was amazing. I love, love, love it!! Spoke to the security guard on what was the best way to get to Premier Inn South Wimbledon and he said taxi or bus. We got the next bus at around 2:15 and there was the most beautiful boy in the world on that bus. And I nearly crashed into him at one point. Oh well. He looked Spanish, short black hair, tattoo on his forearm. Heaven on Earth.
He got off a few stops later.
Devostated.
Back to my journey... we decided to get off at Wimbledon Town because we thought that it would be near there. Was it? No. Walked in circles, asked in a travel agents where we could get a taxi and walked down a very long road to the train station. Found a taxi!!!
We arrived at the hotel at around 3:20 and literally fell onto the bed.
After relaxation, at 4.30 we went over the road to Sainsbury's and Marks and Spencers to look around and get a drink for me. Headed back to the hotel and mother and I had a heart to heart. I loved it, brought a tear to my eye talking about different things. I love her I do.
Just after 7pm we went to Pizza Hut, basically the restaurant that I am always in in London and I was so full after two pieces of garlic bread and half a small pizza! I was not on form, at all.
Got back just after 8pm and I prepared myself for Vampire Diaries which was outstanding! Beyond amazing. I loved it. Mum refused to watch because she doesn't like vampires. But I loved.
Bed and lights out at 10.00.
Woke up at 7.30, breakfast done by 9.10, got stuff together and in the taxi at 9.35 (already late for registration at Roehampton University). Arrived at 10.55 after the longest route ever with the slowest taxi driver. Why is it that when you're in a rush, the taxi driver takes forever??
The day was fabulous, had a mini tour by another hot guy! Had a taster class in English which was good. It was on sonnets and they have been drilled into me. Seriously. Had a talk on Student life. I love it. 30 minutes away from Central London. I've always wanted to live in London so I think I will have a great time there! Went to Oxford Street had Nando's for tea and came home at 8.10. Didn't actually get into my house until 11.25. So of course, I was tired.
Friday 16th = DOOMS DAY = Spanish A2 oral. Went okay and lets just say that the weekend was non stop, hence why now on Sunday night at 8pm I am ready to go to sleep. Might make my choice on UCAS official now though. It is very exciting times.
