Well my induction day went o.k, I had a good time, enjoyed the lessons that I did - English Language, Media Studies, Critical thinking and Computing although I did notice that I was the only girl I think in my computing class but I presume there will be more people when we actually start. (I especially a quiz that meant I could show off with my knowledge of celebrities ;-P). I spoke to a few people I didn't know but most people seemed to have there little groups already sorted so I didn't make any friends as such but hopefully I will get to when I start (that's if I get the right GCSE's). I do now know how to get there and back on the train although it might take me a a little longer to be certain of how to get to it at the other end.
Anyway back to now, my prom is being held tomorrow which I'm both excited and a little apprehensive about. I'm quite happy with my dress but I am quite self conscious so will prob feel nervous in it to start with. We are supposed going in some big car, not sure what it is but I think there will be about 10 of us. After the prom it self I hope to go to one of the after parties although how and which I'm not sure yet. My dress is a lovely aubergine colour and is long and straight (and a little too tight despite me quite thin anyway) with little sequins at the top. I also have a very nice bag which I think gives me the look of film stars from the past. I might put some photos on here but I think I will blur my face out of it lol.
On Sunday, I have another dress to wear, one that my mum has very kindly made me. It is cream and has sparkly gold bits around the long arms and around the top and I have a gold belt and a blonde wig. I'm not decided whether I'm going to be an elf, Gladariel (sp) or Eowyn yet as it could sort of me either although prob looks more like one of the dresses in the film of the latter. I am ofcourse, if you've seen them/read the books, talking about Lord of the rings as I'm going to hopefully meet Elijah Wood and have my photo taken with him. I think I might have mentioned this a few times. ;-P.
As I do have a bit of a taste for trying to meet famous people. I also have bee looking into trying to get to London for the Pirates of the Caribbean 2 premiere in London. I'm not sure just how early I'd need to get there though to get anywhere near the barrier, presuming that all premieres are done in the same way. I think I'll have to look into that a bit more before deciding whether to go. It would be rather cool to see Johnny Depp in the flesh even if it be from afar.

A new adventure
I'm off to my induction day for the college I will hopefully be starting in September tomorrow, I'm a bit nervous but also excited about it and I'm sure at some point I'll get round to telling you how it goes tomorrow.
I watched Pride and Prejudice (newest version) today and was ashamed of myself for not watching it before (I had heard of it, how can you not have done? ;-P) as I loved it. I have to say I love a lot of things set in those sorts of times with the costumes and dialect. I even went out and bought the book today. All I need to do now is find my very own Mr Darcy. :-P :-D :-)
ps. Not sure if I've mentioned this already but I was pleased to find I'm doing the tour cover/street teaming/ whatever you want to call it for Paolo Nutini in July which hopefully should be fun. Now I really must go to bed, have to be up early in the morning to get to college for 8.45. :-)

T4 on the beach
I went to see T4 on the beach yesterday and I did enjoy it although I did come away thinking I could have had a better time for a couple of reasons. I've not got round to coming and blogging about this till now and I'm tired so will come and edit this and prob write my review of all the atrists/bands that I saw (and can remember) and some other random info from the day tomorow. :-D :-)
Edit: Well it's tomorow so here's my report of Sunday. Left home about 8.30 with my dad and cousin and went to pick my other cousin up before heading towards Weston-Super Mare. At about 11.45 (I think) we arrived on the beach and found a place to park. As we drove onto the beach (yes the carpark was actually on the beach and the parking tickets actually said 'Beware rising tides'!) I think I heard the All American Rejects singing 'Dirty little secret' (I think that's what it's called) so I missed them, I also managed to miss The Automatic. They started their set as I began to walk from our car the the entrance and the walk was so long that by the time we'd reached the entrance they'd finished their set so although I could hear them and sort of saw a bit of them on the big screens I would have liked to have been closer, I'm currently loving their song 'Monster', I might actually look into seeing them somewhere else. Anyway once we were inside the actual place Lily Allen came on, her music isn't really what i'd listen to normally and we were trying to find somewhere to sit and then eat our lunch so wasn't really listening properly. Once we had had our lunch (almost). The proper part of the day started, with the T4 presenters being introduced and the first of many cued (is that the right cue?) applauses. Basement Jaxx were the first of the 'main' acts (I guess the rest had been support acts, and I think that Frank must have been on just before I got there) to come on. I wouldn't buy their music but I don't mind listening to it, it's very catchy and they did a good job singing live, o.k so they may actuallly not have been singing live, I'm not sure, I think atleast some of the acts were but not positive about who wasn't. Can't remember who was on next, some man who I thought was Busta Rhymes until he came on later and Ne-yo at some point too, I'm afraid neither are my type of music. Now I'm struggling to remember the order in which people came on so this will prob be wrong. Mcfly came on an I got up and did a bit of singing along, their music is naff but as I've said before naff can be good and they were. Busta Rhymes's music isn't too my taste and I think I'll leave my descritption of his performance at that so as to avoid angering any of his fans that may be reading this.
So moving swiftly on, The Zuton's were great, love their song Valerie and the other one that I can't remember whqt it is called but I thought they were really good. Embrace sung 'world at your feet' which I like and 'Nature's law' which I also like I was then thinking to myself I hope they do 'ashes' and they did so I was pleased and sung along when I knew the words. Pussycat dolls songs are rather catchy, 'Buttonz' especially but I went off for a toilet break, no offence to them lol. Feeder were really good, they really got the crowd jumping around especially with Buck rogers, which most people seemed to know the words too. Razorlight were also good, I was looking forward to seeing them and I enjoyed their set. I also liked Boy Kill Boy's set although I don't know many of their songs. Simon Webbe'sstuff isn't too my taste again i'm afraid but he did sing better than I expected him too so if he was singing live then that's cool. Orson were good, I only heard them mostly as I went for anoter fun trip to the portable loos. Imagine my annoyance when standing in the long toliet queue I hear the intro to 'Fill my little world' by one of my favourite bands at the moment- The Feeling. I did go over to the side and watch them on the screen but it wasn't as good as it would have been had I been where I was for the others but I have seen them 3 times before so thankfully wasn'ty too dissapointed and I sort of sung along to Sewn in my loo which provided myself with a bit of amusement anyway lol. (If they'd have been singing more than two songs I'd have probably been back to hear them sing atleast 1 song, can't say I really agree with whoever's job it was to decided how many songs each act sang.) Matt Willis had be doing my kind of dancing on the spot to his song 'up all night', not sure what I thought of his new one. I think I need to listen to it again before making my mind up on it. After him I think was Danni Minogue who was good, I'm not particualy a fan of hers, but didnt't mind listening to her. The Pet Shop Boys also performed and I have to say I'm not a big fan of their music atall. Shayne Ward came on, and I then went to get some chips, no offence meant to him as he can sing but I'm not a fan of his songs I'm afraid. The Ordinary boys also performed and were good, I heard them mostly rathet than saw them as walking back to our place in the crowd. Hard-Fi were the special surprise guests as at one point they had been unconfirmed but I'm glad they did come as I thought they were good although I'm not sure if the lead singer was quite, er, right if you know what I mean, I may well be wrong though so will say no more. I think I've mentioned everyone now apart form the last act - Will Young who I did think was good although I think I might have preferred it if he'd chosen some of his others songs that I know better.
We were stood nearish to the back but it was still o.k. Thinking back I do wish I'd tryed to get closer when we fgirst arrived but never mind. You don't get the same atmosphere nearer to the back where people don't seem as bothered and much fewer people are dancing and singing along, as you do at the front. I have to say I wondered why some peopele go as some people don't seem that interested in the music and why have a fun fair at it. Was it not supposed to be about the music?
Once it had finished, and the sun had decided to come out at last (*rollseyes*) ,we went on the long walk back to the car and then the long journey home, we must have left about 6ish but what with the traffic trying to get out of W-SM (appartenly 30,000 people although I'm not sure if all the tickets had bene sold so there may have been less) and taking a different road to which we should really have done, me and my dad didn't arrive home until just after half 10 I think. I then watched abit of what had been shown of the day on the T.V that my mum had taped before going off to bed and not getting up till about 11am the next morning. I was quite tired nearly all day yesterday but I think i'm feeling more awake today.
I had a look on the T4 site and saw they have video's of the Support acts so I've now watched The Automatic singing 'Monster'. On a non-related note I also decided to check out www.pottercastfans.com ( a fansite for a Podcast on the-leaky-cauldron.org - PotterCast) to see if there was any news on the forum as I hadn't been on there for awhile as I'd almost began to give up and was very pleased to see that the forum should be back up soon. :-D

I am pleased...honest
So it was my last GCSE today, as you'll know if you regularly read my blog, and I am relieved that I survived them all and I didn't get as panicky as I thought I might during them. I had imagined me constantly thinking about them and randomly checking books at all times of the day to check random things that had just come to me but actually I wasn't that bad and I didn't really feel like revising alot if the time, the ironic thing is,now that these exams have finshed and my school days are over, i'm confused and got the urge to revise. I'm not sure I've really got my head around the fact exams are over (for now atleast) and although I did say I was looking forward to leaving and really wouldn't care about leaving school, now I actually have it's weird and I'm a little, just a little sad. I do have to admit that I even enjoyed some of my exams, like the English ones as I'm a bit Hermioneish in that respect (sorry to non-Potter readers qho wont get that) and do like doing exams sometimes. That makes me sound like a right nerd, doesn't it? ;-P :-D :-)

The penultimate GCSE...hopefully
Aslong as I don't fail and have to redo any of them today I have my second to last exam - Business Studies, I've not done alot of revision for it until just a minute ago although I have looked through my books a bit but it is only worth half a GCSE so it doesn't matter too muich although I still hope I do o.k. Tomorow I have m,y last GCSE- French which shouldn't be too difficult although that may not mean I do well, I haven't really revisied much for it either as I've been busy with subjects like Maths, English and Sceicne and as it was the last one I've kept thinking 'oh it's fine, I've got ages until I have to sit it'. Trouble is now it's only one day and it's my nan's 90th birthday today so we are having a mini party (o.k so it's just a meal with a few people round but that counts as a party, right?). I will try and find some time to do some last minute french revision though and my exam isn't until the afternoon again. Then after about 3.15 tomorow I will be freee. The summer will then involve lots of gigs and outings I expect. You know I said that I was going to stop going to many gigs during my exams? Well that kind of didn't happen, but it's not really my fault if the people I like announce lots of gigs and I don't think they've affected me atall as I haven't been to any the day before an exam. I've noticed that al these small unsigned bands and artists that I've been following for quite awhile are now getting some of the recognition they deserve, now ofcourse that's good for them but it does mean my summer may be quite expensive wityh lots of singles and albums to buy and gigs will I'm sure get more expensive as they get more fans but that'll just mean I'll have to get a job. I want one working with animals but the only places that I can think of are pet shops and I don't really agree with the way they are kept sometimes and would much rather work helping animals but most rescue shelters and similar places are going to be voluntary, which is good but I do need money as I feel a bit bad making my parents pay for all these mad ideas about outings and adventures that I seem to get regularly. :-P I'll have to keep looking I guess...
I'm hoping to go to T4 on the beach this weekend, (although we do know have a spare ticket, anyone interested?) which I bought tickets for back when The Kooks were supposed to be playing. They are now not but although I am dissapointed there are still people there I want to see and hopefully I get to see The Kooks do a proper set somewhere somewhen. Out of the people that are currently announced (if they don't change their minds again like they have been!) the bands/artisits I'm looking forward to/don't mind seeing are (not in a relevant order) - All American Rejects, The Automatic, The Feeling, Embrace, Feeder, Orson, Matt Willis (I've yet to make my mind up whether he's good or not having only heard one song which I did like), Razorlight (Wooo lol), The Zutons and Will Young. I also don't mind listening to Basement Jaxx although I wouldn't buy their stuff, and Mcfly are naff but hey a bit of naff is good. :-D Also the same goes for Danni Minogue, I'm yet to decided whether I like her stuff or not. There are a few people like Shayne Ward Simon Webbe, Lily Allen and others that I'm not sure about yet, what I've heard of theirs hasn't been to my taste. Also the Pussycat dolls aren't who Id'd choose to listen to usually but I'm sure singing along to 'Don't cha' could provide a bit of amusment. Frank are also there who I don't think I've heard before (and Pet Shop Boys who I think I prob should have heard before but can't remember) so I will reserve judgement until atferwards. I think I may go for a toilet break during Busta Rhymes and/or Ne-yo as although I'm sure they're great and have many fans their music isn't really my thing. I amny give them a chance at first thought and listen to a bit. Now don't worry everyone I shal hopefullyl be coming on to blog about this particular adventure with all my comments on the artists - which may be quite long so I'll apologise in advance ;-) lol.
Anyways, I have revision to be doing now so best go and actuyally do it rather than just saying I will do it in a minute. I will prob blog before I go Sunday, I'm sure you will all be fascinated to know if I manage to get tickets for the Elijah Wood photo sessions at the London Film and Comic Con, which I may just have mentioned a few times ;-), as they are supposed to go on sale at 6pm today, I've made random notes around the house so hopefully I will remember! :-D :-)

The Feeling
I went to see The Feeling for the 3rd time on Friday at the ULU and they rocked! I love their stuff (I've been listening to their album lots at the moment too :-D) and they sound even better live than they do on the album :-D. I would have liked to have got to the front but didn't. I had a good time although I would have liked to hear them sing starnge as even though I've seen them 3 times now, I'm yet to hear it live.
On the exam front, I have 3 more exams left this week, Science, Business Studies and French. I then have an induction day to go to for the College i'm hoping to go to, dance presentation and my Prom to go to in the next few weeks.

8 down 6 to go...
I've now done 8 exams and have 6 more to go. This means there is still revising to be done but also that I no longer have to learn Music, English lit (although that was actually o.k), R.E or I.T.
I've still got another Maths, Science, French, English and a Business studies exams to do but I'm feeling o.kish about them aslong as I do some more revision.
I don't really have alot to add, well I think I did but I've forgotten again, my mind is all confused at the moment with all the exams and funny days.

A mini-party, street teaming and a lot of walking, all in 3 days
Friday, I got an invite to a mini party/ get together/ whatever you want to call it, involving a few friends, 2 people I hadn't met before, one of which being rather good looking and alot of drunk people hugging each other. I did get chance to see who was evicted from Big Brother before I went, as despite not wanting to watch it before it started (well apart from Big Brother's big mouth with Russel Brand, obviously ;-D) I have ended up watching and was pleased to see Sezer go out this week.
Saturday- I woke up feeling kind of calm and happy, I opened a package that I had been sent, see that it has next day delivery on it, I'm thinking 'why was it so urgent it got here when I don't need it to the 3rd July?' and therefore decide to check that it was the 3rd July, so I check the email I was sent, that says it is, so I calmed down a little after the intial uh oh feeling but decided to check the venue site just incase. There it says 3rd June. It is the 3rd June. Arghhh! I was supposed to be street teaming for a band called Larrikin Love (who I hadn't actually heard of before I got the email from the site but who were actually quite good) and I wasn't prepared. I had never done it before, I didn't even have a clipboard. So after going dancing and having some lunch and doing some revision as yes there are still 2 weeks of GCSE's left, I go on a shopping trip to buy a clipboard and as I just couldn't resist some skinny black jeans ( I have since tried them on and well they don't look as good on me as they seem to other people IMO soI am yet to decide whether they will be going back). I then went of to visit my nan whilst trying to find someone to come with me to go street teaming and getting a little nervous at the prospect.
A little later on, friends, clipboard, mailing lists and free badges all in the car I was ready, well as ready as I could be having only found out that morning. After a little bit of worry that we weren't going to be allowed in (I hadn't been put on the guestlist as I had been told but when who I think was their tour manager found out we were the street team we were allowed in, free for me and one friend). I was a bit nervous but got into it and when my friends who both smoke deserted me to go to the shop and to smoke various times I was left to actually talk to people by myself, which if you knew how quiet and shy I can be, is scary yet I did it and felt proud of myself and afterall I choose to do it and I wanted to and I did enjoy it and would like to get the chance to do it again. I was a bit dissapointed that my friend deserted me at the end but hey I know to choose someone else to help me if I do get a chance to do it again. *To be continued, It's nearly 11pm y'know *... I think I got quite a few people (about 46) but I haven't done it before and don't know how many people were there, it wasn't completely packed, so don't know if that is good or not. I've now typed them up and sent them pff to the relevant person. It is all run by people on a website's (http://www.ukundercurrent.co.uk) forum which I originally joined so I could be a part of Paolo Nutini's street team although I haven't yet had a chance to do much for apart from ring up for his video on The Hits but I'm hoping I will get to somewhen.
Today, I have completed a 6 mile (I think) sponsered walk for Animal Aid in London.
Tomorow, a maths GCSE which I don't feel prepared for and The Feeling's album comes out, have I mentioned I'm hopefully going to see them this week?.
Saturday- I woke up feeling kind of calm and happy, I opened a package that I had been sent, see that it has next day delivery on it, I'm thinking 'why was it so urgent it got here when I don't need it to the 3rd July?' and therefore decide to check that it was the 3rd July, so I check the email I was sent, that says it is, so I calmed down a little after the intial uh oh feeling but decided to check the venue site just incase. There it says 3rd June. It is the 3rd June. Arghhh! I was supposed to be street teaming for a band called Larrikin Love (who I hadn't actually heard of before I got the email from the site but who were actually quite good) and I wasn't prepared. I had never done it before, I didn't even have a clipboard. So after going dancing and having some lunch and doing some revision as yes there are still 2 weeks of GCSE's left, I go on a shopping trip to buy a clipboard and as I just couldn't resist some skinny black jeans ( I have since tried them on and well they don't look as good on me as they seem to other people IMO soI am yet to decide whether they will be going back). I then went of to visit my nan whilst trying to find someone to come with me to go street teaming and getting a little nervous at the prospect.
A little later on, friends, clipboard, mailing lists and free badges all in the car I was ready, well as ready as I could be having only found out that morning. After a little bit of worry that we weren't going to be allowed in (I hadn't been put on the guestlist as I had been told but when who I think was their tour manager found out we were the street team we were allowed in, free for me and one friend). I was a bit nervous but got into it and when my friends who both smoke deserted me to go to the shop and to smoke various times I was left to actually talk to people by myself, which if you knew how quiet and shy I can be, is scary yet I did it and felt proud of myself and afterall I choose to do it and I wanted to and I did enjoy it and would like to get the chance to do it again. I was a bit dissapointed that my friend deserted me at the end but hey I know to choose someone else to help me if I do get a chance to do it again. *To be continued, It's nearly 11pm y'know *... I think I got quite a few people (about 46) but I haven't done it before and don't know how many people were there, it wasn't completely packed, so don't know if that is good or not. I've now typed them up and sent them pff to the relevant person.
