My GCSE exams are over!
I have no more revision to do!
In the last 32 days, I've sat 10 exams, enduring over 14 hours of sitting within the confines of the sports hall. One day I spent about 4 hours 20 minutes scribbling away and peering at my watch in the place, but now it's over!
Now I can look forward to 2 and a half months of no school; I hope I can find things to keep me entertained!

Well done Estonia!
Yesterday was the final of Eurovision 2012 from Baku, Azerbaijan and Chris decided to host a party, with each attendee picking a country to support. You may be able to tell from my nails (or from the title of this post), which country I chose... ESTONIA!! My decision was based on the fact that I enjoyed the country's effort last year (Rockefeller Street by Getter Jaani) and that I knew I'd be able to paint the country's flag on my fingernails.

Despite being (according to Donati) 19th favourite to win out of the 26 finalists, this year's contestant, Ott Lepland, ended up in sixth place, with 120 points! Congratulations Ott and Estonia!

The memories
Tom,
I've known you since year seven, when I walked home with you and Chris, and I remember that the pair of you made me laugh a lot!
I wrote that from memory, almost word for word on Thursday, when I began my passage in Tom's memories book. It was the last time we'll ever walk home together (I still find that difficult to believe) and I took the opportunity to ask him to write in mine; he let me return the favour. We were sat next to eachother on the wall that surrounds the local pub, busily writing away. I only peered up to see Katie join us.
That was on Thursday; yesterday we left for real.

After a 41-day absence, here I am!
I didn't actually realise I'd gone over 1 month without posting here! It makes it look like I've been busy revising for my exams, doesn't it? Well I have...
They start in 3 days.
Eep.
I'll be back in another 41-ish days.

Cardiff Blue
LA Blue became "Cardiff Blue" on our return journey from the Welsh capital on Friday night.
We were there for a school trip, to view a performance of J.B. Priestley's "An Inspector Calls" in a genuine three dimensions, at the swish New Theatre. Prior to our arrival, a resilient wasp had caused much commotion on the coach, withstanding half a dozen smacks, courtesy of Jamie from Em's tutor group. We eventually approached the theatre on foot; I took this opportunity to scoff the meagre morsels that made up my dinner, my final bite coinciding with the start of the show.
I thoroughly enjoyed the performance; highlights included the dramatic collapse of the Birling house, which woke a few of my school mates up, and the additional symbolism which had been carefully woven into the play.
Back to the end. The chill air of a Cardiff night bustled us back on to the bus, which lacked any evidence of the demon in black and yellow stripes. Eagerly, I grappled for my iPod and set it to play a series of bright, carefree tunes. The sky may have been pitch black, and my cheeks coral red, but nothing could fully detract from the blue…

Happy birthdays
Today I am celebrating three birthdays.
The first (and by far most trivial) is the anniversary of the release of the 1999 album Stay The Same by Joey McIntyre.
The second is the 16th birthday of my friend, (and still prom date, as far as I know) Tom. I'm attending his party later, hopefully it'll be fun! :)
The third would also be a 16th birthday, that of my primary school friend, Amy. Amy was one of my best friends when we were younger, she was extremely kind and loyal. We parted ways when we were eleven, but I still saw her and our other primary school friends every now and then. One time, about two years ago, she couldn't come because she was really ill. She had a brain tumour. Last October she passed away. I still can't believe she's not here any more.
Happy sweet sixteen Amy, I hope you're celebrating in heaven! :')

Prom, Tom, and Chelsea
Two weeks ago tomorrow, Tom asked me if I'd like to go to prom with him; I said `yes`.
Today he asked Chelsea back out - via text - she hasn't said `yes`, but they "went out" before, and I didn't know they still liked each other. I'm not jealous, just a bit confused as to why he would ask me to prom - face to face and almost two weeks ago now - if he still had feelings for her?
