Growing over the door, growing up through the walls~
Phwoar. It's been an actual age since I wrote anything even remotely 'journal-esque' on here, so I think that ought to rectified just about now.
Things have been hectic. Exams. For those of you not in the UK, GCSE exams are a) what get you into college, and b) mercilessly spread over a period of five weeks. In my case, study leave means I'm at home when I'm not in exams (or 'structured study' sessions, which turn out to be less-than-enterprising, or useful.) So, other than them drawing the pain out, and making me practically exhausted along the way, I've been pretty amazing this month, mood-wise.
1) So, the doctor told me I needed to do more exercise to help with my depression - because they don't hand out anti-depressants and things to under 18s unless it's a last resort. So I got joined up at the local gym. It's a rather nice one, they've got sports sessions as well as the normal gym, and a pool with jacuzzis and a crazy sauna (which smells of mint, and has twinkling lights in the ceiling. what? xD) And, apart from the whole, physical exertion issue, it's a pretty cool place. I had an induction with Darren, a relentlessly unyeilding trainer (but also a touch on the Oh, that's hot! side) and he made me run a mile as quick as I could (Yay 11 minutes, rofl.) , among other things. So I aim to go there once or twice a week for an hour or two. (y)
2) I got my results back for my IT course (CiDA) on a little post card that my parents got in the post (haha yay for congradulatory formality. xD) and I got 2 As, which was a bit lame, cause I wanted A*s. D: But I can deal. xD
3) The exams are going fairly well so far, though I've been a bit ill this week. D: Which is a bit bad because a lot of the exams are this week (why bother to spread them out, if you're not going to spread them out?! ¬__¬) but ho hum, science marches on.
4) My obsession with Heroes has been stretched into the world of Roleplaying by THIS gorgeous specimen of a site: GODSENT and you should all go there and say hello. x) I have had more lols there this week than for months before hand. (Y)
What else, what else? OH!
5) DORSET! A few friends and I are going to be camping down in Dorset together in the Summer. Which: WILL. BE. AMAZING. Hahah. I got a bit OCD while planning it, but at least everything's organised. I don't think I have ever been quite as excited about a holiday in my life. x)
Hope everyone's good/doing well. And good luck to anyone else who's enduring the fun of exams at the moment <3 Now, I'd better GTFO and do something for this afternoon's English fandango. xD
PS. I do so hope Patrick's alright, vis-a-vis last night <33 xx
