All-singing, all-acting, all-writing, all-blogging, all mouth and a little bit of trousers, a little bit of everything all rolled into one. I'd say I'm like Marmite, but then I'd have to hate myself.
It’s a beautifully bright, sunny day today, which is a good thing – I think it cheered me up somewhat during that uncomfortable ride to the hospital. I would gladly have a thousand blood tests at once rather than have another one of those because it is so painful, especially when your kidneys aren’t exactly perfect – mine protested quite a lot because I drank… well, I don’t know how much, but it was TOO MUCH – squash and it was so uncomfortable, especially seeing as the appointment was delayed slightly.
So, I’m at home again, trying to summon up the motivation to change into more comfortable and summery clothes (I’m thinking pyjama bottoms are the only option here), whilst slowly comfort eating every sweet item we have in the house because it hurts a lot. On the bright side I’ve made some progress in other areas – I feel quite motivated to write today, and I’ve sorted out a provisional playlist for a singing booking I’m doing next month. It’s also two weeks until I go on holiday and 18 days until I turn 18, which is all very exciting stuff. So, all in all, not an awful day – not the best, but the scan didn’t show up anything untoward which takes us one step closer to finding out what’s wrong with me, which is always good – and the sun is shining, so I think it’s time to sort out this chocolate face mask and relax.
I had my first exam today! Drama, the re-sit of the paper I did in January and I’m so pleased with the questions, they were so much better than last time and exactly what I’d hoped for. I’m not entirely sure how I did – I messed up timing with painkillers and ended up doing the last half an hour or so with a few concentration lapses because I was in pain, and time constraints are evil on that exam because there’s so much to do, but I’m hoping it’ll be enough to get me maybe a B, which is great because it brings me closer to getting into university. My hand is killing me from all the writing I’ve done, but I’ve got eighteen days to recover before my next exam (Psychology, which is also a mass of writing to do but I’m feeling prepared for that one), and then two days until Epic Exam #3, English. Then I’m done with exams and college!
The words were really flowing yesterday – I was finding it really easy to write, I knew where the story I’m writing was going and everything and yet today, when I tried, it just didn’t work – the characters are completely different to how they were yesterday for some reason, I just can’t write them in the same way. I guess maybe the sheer amount of writing I’ve done today has taken it out of me and I need to give it a break. I’m still hoping to post them up here soon so that rather than me just blabbering on about my writing like I have done for the past few months, I’m actually going to post some writing up, which is what this blog was originally intended for. When I’m better, I am going to work on sorting out videos of me singing to come up on here too, I promise 🙂 Things got a little sidetracked by my misbehaving kidneys, and they’re still refusing to toe the line but we’ll get there eventually.
So, I think it’s best to leave the writing for tonight and maybe tomorrow – or maybe to just have a whole weekend away from writing and needing to think too much, and just doing things I enjoy. Face painting this weekend, pwning some n00bz on Black Ops tomorrow and then a week off to recharge my batteries and do some more revision to make sure I’m as ready as possible for the exams. It’s kind of hit me today just how important these exams are, and I’m not going to take them lightly.
Oh, and for those of you awaiting a new “inspirational pictures” post (yeah, I see you all, getting to my blog by searching google for numerous variants on the phrase “inspirational pictures”, and I’m sorry I’ve not posted any more recently but I haven’t been feeling inspirational!), it will be along soon. Not sure when, but soon.
And now, in conclusion, the mushy section of this blog post. I’ve been with my boyfriend for seventeen months yesterday (the 31st) and he’s made me so happy in those seventeen months, I don’t know what I’d do without him, so if he reads this (and I hope he reads this, because I read his blog 😉 ) I love you and thank you for everything you do for me and, to quote the vernacular, this one’s for you 😉
