currently blasting through my headphones: Charlie Brown, Mylo Xyloto (Coldplay)
Well good afternoon to you lurvlies reading this, tis a cloudy day here in south england and I don't have an exam tomorrow so I thought I'd make the most of it and sit down for a chat.
I've just started reading Carrie Hope Fletcher's book 'All I Know Now' { which btw is so amazing and you should go and buy it, currently on offer in WHSmith for £9.99 (hardback) } and just admiring her style of writing, very chatty with colloquialisms and phonetically spelled words. The book is about her journey through life and the things she learnt as she's made mistakes, the experiences she's had and funny little stories about things that have happened to her at some point in her life. It's quite a lot to take in for my exam-frazzled brain so I'm reading it in 20 minute chunks. It's great because it means I can then think about that section I've just read. It has also reminded me that I have been 'too' busy recently to write much. I have started a blog post on hair-dressing experiences, what I will do with that idk yet. I did buy quite a few things in town so I think next week when I've finished exams (yayyy) I will have more time to take photos etc and write a little blog post.
As you may or may not know, I got my hair cut yesterday and it made me realise just how much I fret about what people think of me, how I look and if I look alright etc. One of my friends said to me this morning as we were walking in to get ready for our chemistry exam and I was worrying about what people would say about it, whether they would like it, she said why does it matter? Just as long as you like it then basically told me off for being silly and that she liked it { :) thanks babe } I think the thing is because everyone has opinions and make judgements as soon as we see people without even thinking about it! Even though we may not be able to help those first impressions, you can mentally change what you think to something more positive and look at it 'in a different light'. That's something I'm trying to do more often now. Sometimes I'll see something a bit odd and if I'm in a bad mood I'll automatically think hmm that's weird but then I have to think well actually that's quite cool and perhaps its not my style, but I can still appreciate that for that person's style its pretty darn awesome.
I should probably go and do some productive revision as I have (the last!!!!) two exams on friday, urgh physics and further maths, probably the worst two :/
ending on a positive note, the sun its trying to peep out from out the clouds so we'll if anything becomes of that.
