Goodbye Exams!

I have finally finished! My A level exams are over, I no longer have to go to school and I have a bucket load of free time. Admittedly, my last exam was almost a week ago, however, in my defence, I've been making the most of my new found freedom. I spent the weekend catching up with some friends from Roothill in London, Monday I had work as well as spending some wonderful time with Josh, Tuesday I, well, I have to admit I just wasn't in the mood to blog, and yesterday I spent my time helping down my mum's allotment and writing letters.

The problem with having so much free time is that I don't know what to do with myself. When I was revising, I could think of so many other things I wanted to do: blog, scrapbook, paint, read, spend time with friends; and now I just don't know where to start! I'm all "so. many. things. I. want. to. do... OVERLOAD!!" or something along those lines...

I may be having trouble deciding what to do with my free time but I have been getting on with some things. I've finally drawn on the white pair of converse-esque shoes that have been hanging around my room for a while (Mark III seen as the first two pairs have holes in) and as before, one shoe looks better than the other. Someday I'll get the hang of making both feet look equally awesome! I've also been working my way through Star Wars with my mum and we've finished watching the 3 more recent prequels and next up are the proper films!! I couldn't decide which order to watch them in so we went for chronological order rather than filmed order. So far I'm really enjoying them (even if they are a bit long) and I hope the remaining three are as awesome as the surrounding fandom suggests. :)

Unfortunately, during my revision seclusion, I didn't keep totally undistracted... My friends and I ended up having a bit of a debate on facebook over whether Lego or K'nex is better, stemming from a post about a lego TARDIS. Me being the massive Whovian that I am, decided to "waste" my revision time making a TARDIS out of each using the K'nex and Lego collections we still have around the house and I concluded that Lego is most definitely the winner. (Although my K'nex people make a much better 11th Doctor/Rory/Amy...)



Nevertheless, Rosanna didn't want K'nex to be quelled so easily so she made a pretty awesome K'nex TARDIS, much better than mine! It's just a shame it's not all blue and is see through... Sorry, nevertheless, it is epic. I don't think the picture probably quite does it justice.

Talking of Doctor Who... Melody Pond... River Song... WHY?!?!?! Ok, I'll expand on that in another blog.. for now, I bid you farewell and I shall blog to you soon.

DFTBA

Two truths, one lie:

1. I have a toy sheep called Wooly that my friend gave me as a belated birthday present around a year ago.
2. I once won a "name the toy" competition. It was run by the school's French department so I called it a Spanish name... naturally. (Juan if you're curious)
3. The only cuddly toy that I bought for myself has a bell in it. I'm pretty sure every other toy was given to me.

And the answer to last time? Worryingly enough, not 1 but number 3. It wasn't me who dressed up as Pippi Longstocking but my friend who went on to win a prize for her costume. One year I dressed up as a Cuckoo from an obscure book and the other as Mandy Hope from the Animal Ark books I was obsessed with.
