Yeh that hello.. is for me! Wow I think I completely overreacted yesterday but well you know!
Yes I am blogging 2 days in a row.. ain't it a treat!! NOT!
Just a short one I'm afraid to say it all went well with my english teacher, we spoke, he gave me incredibly good advice and ways to improve and has even agreed to mark a new essay I wrote on the same title to see if I actually did improve on what he said!
Looking at my work.. no I am not that proud of it anymore...its not what I thought it was like at all.. thank g-d that wasn't a real one.. I'm suprised I got such a ok grade as I did!
Thanks all of you for being there for me when I was in a bad mood yesterday.. next week I'll be back to my old self and DofE series will be beginning!
Thank you all
Much love

Life.. + Intro to DofE series!
In order to see just about dofe.. skip to after this part:
So like right now... I am sitting on a chair blogging, just the sound of that makes me feel super cool!!So just some, kind of, well, you know what's that word.. its on the tip of my tongue... background I guess to my week.
This week has been anti-bullying week.. we have broken even on our wristband sells and our teacher baby photo competition is going incredibly well!! I am so glad its just all worked out so well!
What else...
hmmm... lets see, so today I got my hair cut at the local hobs on the student night by a friend of mine.. yes okay it does take a little longer but it costs so much less (£10) and I love what she did.. she had curly hair so she knew exactly how to dry it so I would love it! I suggest do the they call them model nights at hairdressers and beauticians.. it helps them and is cheaper for you!
Also today I had my grade 6 singing exam.. I do LCM board, I felt I did okay until it got to the interview.. yeh basically flopped!
I mean what and how would you answer
'When do you think the seeds of musical theatre were first sown?'
I had no idea so I went on about Stresemann and Germany when their musical theatre industry began booming!!!
Thats basically all I wanted to tell you!
DofE
Now onto DofE.. this was sent up by the Duke in order to encourage young people to volutneer, get physical and learn a new skill.
There are 3 sections
-Skill
-Volunteering
-Physical
and the expedition
(I will do an individual post about each and my expereinces)
Bear in mind this is only for the UK: many schools do this program but if yours doesn't, check out the below link to find a place near you that you could join to start your DofE...
OR using their tips online try to convince your teacher/school to start doing it at your school!!
I hope this was a good preview of whats to come!!
Got to get back to chemistry revision!
Have a nice week all!
Much love

Parents evening....
Parents evening.. the one day a year when your parents get to find out really how you act in school.. where the naughty (not that kind... I know what you were thinking.. ok the bad kids) KARMA strikes... and all of their behaviour and misdoings are snitched on to thier parents!
Now don't call me a geek.. honesty its just that well, I, I- I LOVE parents evening!! Ever since I was a young one of I think 6 or maybe even earlier...I have looked forward to this day as my mum always seems so proud. So I guess I should tell you.. I behaviour in school.. I'm basically a goody-goody two shoes. (BTW: I wrote a book called Miss Goody Goody in yr 5 I'll publish the first chapter after this post I promise.. please remember I wrote it in year 5.. its not that amazing.. but if you guys like it I'd be happy to post the next chapter every couple of days??)
I hate being rude.. and I love a challenge.. wow.. I do sound like a nerd.. Oh god!!!
The truth is I love to learn something new and especially I LOVE SCHOOL... that's why I want to stay in education (university) as long as possible... get opportunities I wouldn't have thought I could!!
So is that you?? Do you like a challenge??
Do you enjoy school??
If so, teachers DO AND WILL notice.. so maybe you will be looking forward to parents evening this year!!!
On the subject of working hard and doing well I found this quote.
'Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity'
This quote.. is so true...!
Just some quick background info: I found this quote as I was surfin' it up on the web.. looking for quotes to potentially put in our years yearbook.. (slightly retorical huh??)
I have been named official editor in chief and am loving it!! I couldn't have asked for a better yearbook team.. they have such enthusasim and going to meetings is a joy! As well as this the same commitee also organises prom.. how amazing??? So excited, believe you me I will be doing blogposts explain the how tos of planning a) a yearbook and b) prom!!!
This year is going to be amazing.. my last year in uniform.. I think I'm gonna miss my marron and black striped blazer!!!
Hope all of your weeks are as lovely as I am feeling mine is
Much love

College Road Trip...
So I have been MIA for the past 2 weeks... yes scold me! Its just I have been so busy... I mean I was meant to have 3 tests today.. so been revising for those! By 'meant' one got cancelled, postponed till next Thursday! The second one: economics.. don't get me started I thought this would be my chance to shine and get 100% I was wrong.. last time I got 2 marks off of 100%.. annoyed yes I was!
But now back onto the point of this blog, I do that often don't I go off on a tangent.. ha tangent I also had a maths test today.. here I go again! I'll stop I promise!
So onto my college road trip.. WOW! It was fantastic!
You all knew due to the fact I told you in my last post I had two storms to face: Hurricane Sandy and Frankenstorm. But this only altered our plans a little: Here was the altered timetable of our week:
Saturday 27th October: Flew to Washington stayed there that night
28th- Drove 2 hours to Charlotesville, Virginia
29th- Visited University of Virginia (UVA)
30th- drove to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, had evening there
31st- HALLOWEEN: Vistied University of North Carolina (UNC)
1st- travelled all day to ohio
2nd- Visited Ohio State University
3rd- Drove to Washington.. travelled home!
So we basically did a triangle on a map as shown below:
Now onto each individual university...
Lets start with UVA.
Now UVA didn't really get a fair chance due to the fact that as the storm was so close to them they had cancelled all classes and tours and all the students were told to stay inside!
So when we got there.. no one was around.. the weather awful!
I was NOT impressed! moreover I was a bit disappointed!
As tours were all cancelled we went by (my family and I) the dean of students which was open compared to the dean of admissions and we got a meeting with the dean of admissions to answer all my questions and a private tour by the senior associate of the Dean of Admissions.
So in actual fact we got alot of benefits to no tour being on!! The way they spoke about campus convinced me it is somewhere I definitely want to apply to.. so thats staying on the list!
The only drawback: the area of charlottesville, especially downtown I was not impressed with the shops.. I am kind of a city girl but the city of charlottesville was basically the UVA campus!
So maybe not my first choice! But it did provide me with alot of information that I needed and wanted!!
UNC
I have a friend 4 years my senior who left my school to attend UNC on one of the best scholarships in the world: The Morehead Cain, more will be on this in my scholarship post! So when we got there we made plans and she invited me to spend the evening with her. I got to see nightlife of a university and I LOVED IT! I REPEAT, LOVED IT! I met all her friends, who were (gorgeous- the guys and the girls!) and incredibly friendly and welcoming. She showed me the stadium, dorms all they don't show on the main tour!!
I was in heaven.. I could totally picture myself going there.
The next day we had a tour and session booked.. suprise suprise at the session I was the only international student.. in fact the ONLY student not from North Carolina.. out of about 50!!!
The tour was fantastic, our tour guide was y a sophmore and senior student who never hesistated when I asked a question, provided such a huge amount of information! I would love to do that when I get to university!
I just couldn't get over the amount of study spaces there were.. you could study everywhere... everywhere!!
The librarys huge.. facilites amazing.. student organisations something out of a movie!
Plus.. the sorority houses as one picture below.. were just like out of a movie!!!...
However still with this university, there may have been a large town and 2 shopping centres (large) just down the road still Chapel Hill was mainly UNC.. but I did love UNC!
As you can see from my timetable I was at UNC on Halloween.. that meant everything including the frozen yoghurt was pumpkin themed... I love pumpkin so this was a real plus for me! (The fro yo was amazing!) .. wow I'm running out of adjectives...!
There is a tradition that every halloween in Chapel Hill on Franklin street (one of the main streets on the campus) 30,000people go there all dressed up to just walk around. The street is closed from 9-12PM and someone told me they hire $200,000 worth of police just for that night!! We stayed till 10.. I had seen enough.. that was exactly the type of thing i wanted to be doing on campus!!
Now onto OHIO
The truth was I didn't have high hopes for Ohio.. it was in columbus, a big industrial city much like London.. with 55,000 people in it.
When we got there we went out for dinner at a part near the campus.. not realising it was literally a road away.. I didn't see any students, well I didn't think I did!
Now onto the good news.. I went onto campus the next day.. and when I got on and saw all the students walking around and happy just like in UNC (more so in UNC though) and I feel in love.. again! We went to the student centre and picked up a map due to the fact no tours were running that day.
But fate was good to us again like in UVA.. we mistakenly fell upon a 'honors and scholars program' for american students and was told we could happily join their 2.30 tour!
Our tour guide was amazing, she was a 5yr nursing student and she like the other guides spoke with such confidence and gave me so much information!
We got to see the dorms, the gym, libraries!
Bigger than UNC.. but not too big that I felt isolated!!
I loved it... and the best part of it was the street I ate on the previous night is a 2min walk from campus, theres places to eat on campus and off.. the city where internships are in there many.. right around the corner! The biggest shopping centre I have ever been to 25 min drive.. wow.. wow!!!
As it was bigger it offered less study abroad programs.. I will do a whole blogpost dedicated to what that is and what uni's said to me about it.. but I am definitly undertaken sometime abroad.. abroad!!
At all UVA, UNC and Ohio there was a central hub of students,
UVA: THE CORNER
UNC: THE PIT
Ohio: THE OVAL
Mainly just for the bottom two.. due to the weather these areas were just like a movie you had students holding up boards 'vote for sam for student boy president'
'run a 5K for cancer'
'sponser a rower'
.. It was something out of a dream..
And this is what I feel you would miss in an English university
The word 'keen' doesn't exist there.. eveyone is passionate about something and is not afraid to show it.. isn't that just amazing!
Doing extra-cirriculars doesn't separate you into jocks,... etc eveyones still together.. a big family as they called it!
And that is why I want to go to an american university....
Overall all the 3 univerisities offered me something different:
they all offered me though what I wanted a campus university, with student life!
UVA + UNC: as they were smaller they could offer the more focused attention.. more study places I felt.
Ohio: could offer me the city.. shopping, nighlife other than on my campus...
Such a hard decision.. hopefully I'll have that choice to make if I get into all 3...
So some top tips for what you should think about if planning a college roadtrip:
-Don't go when theres a natural disaster
-Only go to a maximum of 4.. too much information to take in otherwise.. my bag of brochures and information is taller than me!
-Visit different types of universities so you know what you want- small/big, rural/city??
-Drive everywhere don't fly
-Try to book your places around tour dates.. they are free and worth all the time
-make a meeting to talk to the admissions people especially if you are an international student
-HAVE FUN ON THE TRIP:
-make a college road trip cd
-Or bring lots of revision to do as I DID, for the long journeys!!
-Look on college boards tips for college visits for more advice!
Hope this was all helpful
Much love

BTW: IT WAS ELECTION CRAZY EVERYWHERE..I LOVE THAT.. In 4 yrs when this happens again. I will be a college student!

At the airport...
So I'm right now sitting on a computer blogging in the lounge of Terminal 5 Heathrow airport..
can I get a woop woop???
Now I've seriously been loving and I mean loving Taylor swift's new album RED..
This morning I ran to it and it really kept me going... I managed to do my 5K in much less time than normal!
So you're all coming along with me on the really FIRST STAGE of the rest of my life...
COLLEGE here I come...
You never know the next time I am on my way may be in 3 years time when I am actually going to my university to study!!
How very very very exciting
Much love
P.s. I noticed a large number for the amount of views of my blog..
I love you guys...
S xxxxxx
can I get a woop woop???
So excited for my college road trip (believe me an advice blog will be coming up soon!)
So basically if you are so very lovely and concerned for me knowing that as I am going to be visiting
-Washington DC
-Virginia
-North Carolina
-Ohio
You will be worried and will know all about the Hurricane Sandy.. yes their on the S part of the alphabet!
Looking at this picture below its forecast is basically everywhere we are going...
GREAT!
So a few very few minor changes have been made in order to keep us out of trouble especially during the long college drives!
-Well, we may not make it to Ohio but will wait and see! It doesn't seem fair does it, that after planning for months on end... it could all be ruined by a tiny hurricane well actually a big one.. otherwise it wouldn't be causing all this mess!! Now I've seriously been loving and I mean loving Taylor swift's new album RED..
This morning I ran to it and it really kept me going... I managed to do my 5K in much less time than normal!

Getting in the festive spirit...
So the festival that I am getting in the spirit for is...
YOU GUESSED IT...
CHRISTMAS..
NO, not really its Halloween! I love halloween... but I hate being scared, watching scary movies, dressing up to look like anythign scary... basically the whole idea of halloween!
But I love the festiveness, the pumpkins, the fun disney movies (did anyone say.. Halloweentown!) and all the chocolate and sweets!
Wikipedia says:
Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of its original title "All Hallows' Evening"),[5] also known as All Hallows' Eve,[6] is a yearly holiday observed around the world on October 31, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows. Most scholars believe that All Hallows' Eve was originally influenced by western European harvest festivals and festivals of the dead with pagan roots, particularly the Celtic Samhain.[6][7][8] Others maintain that it originated independently of Samhain.[9]
Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (also known as "guising"), attending costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.
... so interesting ahem* not really!
So what are you going to be this halloween.. well I wish I were here for it, on second thought no I DON'T.. I AM GOING ON... a college road trip!! (BTW: there will be a blog post on this!)
ROAD TRIP
ROAD TRIP... just like in the movie with 'That's so raven girl!
Trailer here:
My dads.. nothing like that, thank God!! xxx
But even though i actually won't be in London, but in UNC, North Carolina I still have decorated my room.. with blow up ghosts and pumpkins, candles adn a big glow in teh dark pumpkin: (pictured below!)
But going to the US means one thing... Bath and body works Autumn candles
- LEAVES!!!
How exciting I have been waiting for wht feels like years for the 2 for £20 sale!!!
MY FAVOURTIE FALL SCENT!!
So this all brings me onto how you have decorated your room/dorm room or even house for this season... is it pumpkin fantasia land or candles everywhere or lets scare the beejebas out of everyone because we can!!
What are you doing on the 31st..
1. Haunted Hayride
2. Haunted corn maze
3. Haunted house
4. Trick 'o' treating!!
So whatevery you're doing.. please have fun! AND STAY SAFE.... in more ways than one... from (what you're thinking I meant) to just being carefull on your night out!!
Much love
Enjoy the week, will be back soon!
