Bit of an Update

Well, it's been a long while since I last posted a post on here so I gathered it was time for an update of some sort. As most of you know, I took a break from writing on here due to my a-level exams as revising took over my life for a good few weeks. Regarding how they went, most of them went okay I think, however one of my Biology papers was dreadful - it was literally the worst exam paper I've ever done despite endless hours of revising and doing past papers but there you go. I honestly have no idea what grades I'll get - I just hope it's good enough. The main difference between this year's exams and last years was how spread out my exams were. Last year all of my exams were over in a week and a day or two - very close together and quite intense. In contrast, my exams lasted for a month this year. This was partly because I took a couple of AS resits but it seemed to drag on forever, plus the exam boards still don't seem to have co-ordinated with each other because just like last year I managed to have three essay based exams on one day (five and a half hours of writing is not fun under pressure). They will never learn I swear haha. But it's all over now and what's done is done, just got to wait now. I hope that everybody else's exams went okay and that you'll enjoy your summers rather than worry about the results too much!

So last week, after finally finishing exams, I met up with some of my friends. You don't realise how much time revising takes from you and it leaves little time to catch up with friends so it was good to see most of them again. Alex, Andy and I decided to make the most of our freedom while most other people are still stuck in school and visited London during the week. We went to the Science museum for about half the day because despite my growing hate for Biology alevel, science is still interesting when you aren't being examined on it. After that we went to Camden market as Andy had never been there and then had a quick visit to Leicester Square to kill some time. Buttttt, to top it off whilst in Camden we came across Charlie McDonnell (charlieissocoollike on Youtube) and managed to speak to him for a little bit which was awesome, plus have a photo which was kindly taken by one of Charlie's friends (I don't know his name - but thank you!). Overall it was a great day and it made me think again about chance again: if we'd been walking towards the tube station in Camden a minute or even a second or so later/earlier we probably wouldn't have seen Charlie at all - craziness.

Any way I think I've rambled on enough, I'm looking forward to going out and seeing different places, reading books I want to read, catching up with everyone at our Prom which is coming up soon and just making the most of my time off before work starts again in September for University (if I get in!).

I'll try and get back into writing a blog post at least once a week or so as long as I have something semi-interesting to say.



Best wishes,
Laura.
