Summer: Done

This time tomorrow, I will be eating my lunch on my first day as a sixth former. On Thursday, I will have my first full day of lessons since 23rd May, over 100 days previously. Back in June, I posted this list of things I could do over the summer, and now that the season is ending, I feel it's time for a "Things I actually did over summer" post...

Things I actually did over the summer

1. Listened to two albums in their entirety: 8:09 by Joey McIntyre on August 9th and How The Mighty Fall by Mark Owen on the 27th. I was also "treated" to The Midsummer Station by Owl City, courtesy of my sister.
2. Watched at least 60 episodes of NCIS (actually, it's probably nearer 70+, as I watched About Face four times in the past three days)
3. Rekindled my character ideas, which were originally based on watching a few minutes of Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue when I was much younger. I also drew a character and created more.
4. Met up with friends a few times, this included three birthday parties, a trip to two parks and going to the seaside with my sister and some of her friends.
5. Created many roller coasters on RCT3
6. Had a great time in Derbyshire
7. Set up an Animal Crossing blog, purchased a second Wild World game and created an account on Animal Crossing Community
8. Saw two films at the cinema, Ted and Chernobyl Diaries
9. Completed the 25 Day iPod Challenge on here
10. Ate ketchup flavoured crisps dipped in ketchup!
11. Oh, and I've done a little preparation for my A-level subjects

A challenge

Today, Jasmine, Chris D and I caught the bus to the cinema, while t'other Chris, Tom, Ben Winter, Jade, Rosie and Jess Boulton cycled to the same destination. It was a race, but not even self-confessed slow cyclists Chris and Rosie could hold out long enough to let bus team win, although our half-hour venture did  culminate in the vehicle momentarily breaking down. Eventually we met up with the victors, all of us apart from Jess entered the cinema to watch the film "Chernobyl Diaries". It was pretty scary; Jasmine's deathly arm grab got my right arm during the trailers, while Chris spent most of the final third cowering into my left. I was sceptical of the premise: a horror film set at Chernobyl seemed rather insensitive to me, but the focus was on the characters and their eerie situation, not sensationalising the disaster. Plus we got to see the trailer for Ted!

It's my birthday today!

In just over 20 minutes I'll be 16, so this is my final blog post as a fifteen year old. I can't believe it's come round so quickly; sixteen still seems too mature! I'm really looking forward to seeing the film New Year's Eve at the cinema with my friends in celebration! It's gonna be awesome.

A quick catch up!

Hey! Since I had to log into blogger again, I felt it was about time for another blog post. It's lucky I still remember my password! Anyway, here's a few notable events that have occurred since 19th November:

• At Chris's film night (on the 19th) we watched the film "Dead Silence", which I was really happy about because it stars Donnie Wahlberg and was created by the same people who came up with the Saw franchise. The film didn't disappoint, and I purchased the DVD for £3 yesterday, without being asked for ID!
• My first ever internet purchase, "Meet Joe Mac" by Joey McIntyre arrived on Jonathan Knight's birthday (29th November), which is also the 333rd day of the year!
• I also had my sixth form interview on that day; I will be studying chemistry, biology, German and psychology (provisionally) next year, and get to research intense celebrity fandom and stalking. Sounds interesting...
• On December 2nd I broke my school bag, a trusty sidekick of a year and a quarter. By Monday evening I had another bag: the same design but in a different colour!
• The 5th to 9th December was mock week, meaning I didn't tweet much and revised a bit. Most of the exams went okay, but I'm glad it's over!
• Yesterday, in addition to the DVD, I bought 7 CDs by The Feeling, Backstreet Boys, Muse, Mika and Take That.
• It's a week and a day until my birthday! I'm going to see "New Year's Eve" with friends to celebrate.

See ya soon!

Broken Dawn

Today, Em, Daisy, Georgina, Elisha, and the new couple, Chris and Chelsea, went to the cinema to see Breaking Dawn Part 1. We had a good time, eating loads of popcorn and pringles while Bella and Edward married, honeymooned and more on the 60 ft screen. After the film we said our goodbyes and departed, but Em and I will see Georgina, Elisha and the lovebirds again later as we're going to a film night at Chris's house!
