My New Year Resolutions...

Happy New Year all! I hope you have enjoyed your first morning of 2013!

I slept in for the longest ever.. 11.15am.. that's crazy late!! I then had my breakfast with Graham Norton (the TV show, I taped last night!.. not actually him but that would be super cool!!!)

Last night or should I say this morning I was out to pretty late about 2.30, I had a family/friends mini gathering thing.. SO MUCH FUN! We played the name game, charades, rockband.. let me tell you I get 100% on begginer drumming!!!
Some photos you can find on my instagram: @sassyfelds
The people I were with were just so amazing and I LOVE THEM ALL TO PIECES!! xxx

Did you see LONDON'S fireworks... well weren't they something.. we have so much to celebrate this year.. Olympics, Jubillee... just wow!!

Now onto what this post is about, New Year comes with many things.. new year's eve kisses, parties, champagne, fireworks but also with regrets/mistakes/wrongdoings.. as I discussed in my last post about what this year has taught me! So this time of the year is also a chance to change, make yourself a better person!!!

So without further ado I have 4 resolutions:

1. The obvious one of everyone.. just be healthier.. that means properly going to the gym 4+ days a week and actually doing a workout! By the end of this year I want to have run and raised money for a charity 10K last year was 5K this year 10.. why not! I do kinda want to do a half marathon when I'm 18 so I'm on my way if I can do this!!
I'm going to make myself start enjoying the gym/running, the feeling release of endorphines you get aftewards is just amazing so much better than what I get after eating chocolate mousee!!
Also I will eat more than 5 fruits/veg a day, last year it was to eat 5 and I now do that, NOW I WANT TO EAT MORE!! Also take my vitamins... did you know you can only absorb calcium and phosphorus during puberty!!! I know, crazy!!!

-I started this one today and went for a run on a runnign machine of a 10K....


2. Work my ass off (excuse my french) and get therefore the grades I deserve in my GCSE. As some of you know this is my GCSE year, year 11 the big 11 so I'm gonna make it count educationally.. what I get now is important and I know I can get the grades I want as I did last year by putting in all the effort I possibly could! Also this includes SATs this year I'll be taking my SAT intensive course, starting Year 12 and all that University stuff that I need to begin thinking about.. maybe I won't be taking my SATs till 2014 but still for SATs this year counts!!

3. Make this year count: (3rd time I've said it) but seriously not just educationally.. I've realised how fast my life and those around me seems to be going, I've only got 14 or so weeks in uniform of my whole entire life! That's absolutely crazy! So I want to do things this year, make our year special!
By having the best yearbook ever, hosting the best prom ever, getting the best GCSE results ever!

4. Be the person I want to meet...I was just given 'most likely to brighten someones day' in my yearbook... I just want to always be that person! I love smiling and now no braces.. I'm gonna smile even more! I'm going to do one nice thing everyday and not for myself but because I know how happy it's going to make someone else from offering to empty the dishwasher at home to helping a friend in need or just paying for someone elses coffee at starbucks (I'm doing that next time!!)

So that's it... above I'm taking care of my body, my mind, and others.. maybe I'm not doing anything for the world... but everything I'm doing is going to hopefully make those around me worlds easier!!
So what's your resolutions.. mine has alway been to stop biting my nails but this year no.. I'll try but fail by tomorrow, maybe next year for that.. exams make me nervous and my nails are my outlet.. I know its disgusting and a horrible habit but what can I say!!!
Of course there is one more resolution... STICK TO THE ABOVE!!
AND START THEM TODAY:

 

 

I sometimes have an issue sticking to my resolutions, hey I'm only human but finally technology has given us an answer:

What 2012 has taught me...

So I know I haven't blogged in a while (20 days!) Sorry its been hectic, this Christmas, holiday, revision etc etc. But Today I'm going to be writing a post about what I have learnt from 2012. Inspired by hellokatyxo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPfFtMcLS84

This year has been quite a busy one for me, I got my first GCSE this year in History, had my first kiss (proper too!), this year has made quite a big impact on my life so far especially in regards to education!

One thing 2012 has taught me is that I can't be good at everything, looking at my GCSE results you would say well you're an allrounded student, yes I feel (not to toot my own horn or anything) that I am good 'allround'. The sciences, maths, english, language... but believe me none of that comes naturally! I didnt' wake up on the day of my exam thinking 'this will be a breeze' and I didn't not come home in tears when I thought they went terribly! I get anxious so another thing that 2012 has taught me is that I shouldn't worry so much, about certain things yes but some things such as an exam if I felt I did badly I need to forget it, accept it and move on. I'm not good at everything I like sometimes to run.. but I hate sport, I'm awful at sports (seeming less perfect?) I do do a lot- from extra cirricular DofE to 13.5 GCSES, music exams, running school committes, running charity fun runs.. but the truth is in none of it am I getting A* in everything I do.. and this year I have learnt to accept that! I shouldn't be bitter about others that have got those achievements, from the students with the Grade 8 in three instruments to every time I can I see my cousins singing/dancing shows with Talent Time, they are just so talented its hard not to question well what do you have?? But I've learnt to well accept the fact that I'm not that good at dancing.. fine.. I have other stuff! And so my reader do you....
Another thing 2012 has taught me is my best sometimes IS good enough, this does relate to the very long point above...but my GCSE results showed me that when I do try my hardest despite what I think.. God is fair and gives those that work the grades they deserve! (Not trying to tooth my own horn again!) its just you all should know that if you put in the effort you will be rewarded! I promise!
Everything is going to be okay in the end!!
I have learnt from 2012 is that sometimes its ok to be a little selfish....I love putting others infront of myself, it just can make someones day, bring a smile to their face! But sometimes on the rare occasions I sacrifice my own happiness for someone elses, so I've learnt this year that if I feel I really want something and I deserve it.. I'm gonna work for it and get it regardless if it makes others a bit annoyed. If it makes them upset.. that's a different story! Such as for my yearbook commitee, one of the boys appointed me head and I checked it with everyone in the team as I didn't want to step on anyones toes. There was a resonding yes but later one of the members took me to the side and said she didn't think it was fair I was given that role... I don't know why she did it and it hurt for a bit but I thought this time I was going to be selfish, in keeping that role! (BTW: she apologised for how she sounded a day later.. we're still the best of friends!)

And lastly I have learnt from 2012 is that you can't make everyone happy, so don't even try! Like the above point.. last year 2011 I learnt that 'bitching' is not the right thing to do, you shouldn't judge people by what you see as you don't know their story! But as much as I can try to be nice to everyone just so that part of their life may be a little easier, I can't make everyone happy and I've learnt to accept that!

I hope you enjoyed this blogpost.. I may post soon!
But if I don't speak before then Happy New Year..
Maybe 2013 is going to be your year?? x
Much love

Blogunnukah Day 7/14

Could you imagine a word just like our own but made up of only anti-matter???

 

This is just how distracted a triple science top set get in Physics.. we kinda went onto A-level course.. just 2 years too early!!!
But it does make you think... there could be another you but ANTI-YOU.. so for example if you're nice they'd be mean.. get it I'm taking anti literally!!

But the truth is if you ever met your anti self if you shook their hand you'd both explode.. collison of matter kind of!! How cool?? Great way to die:
DEATH BY ANTI-MATTER!!
... Okay so did nobody warn you about how random all my posts are?? Good because you may have felt less incentivised to come and visit me here!
But if there's anti-matter then we must be the matter.. unless we are the anti-matter and somewhere else they are the matter!?? Who gave us the right to call ourself matter?? Poor anti-matter it has to have anti in front of it :(

See I'm no physicist.. obviously (SO SHELDON COOPER!!) nor do I want be one but this really does fasinate me, another universe like ours but not. Is well super duper cool!!!
Believe you me if you're going to get me into Science.. it would have to be biochemistry! I mean c'mon like Spiderman, to know dna and cells and mutations work would be amazing!! ENZYMES WOO HOO!.. so glad I chose Biology for A-level!

Did you know?? Every particle is made up from more empty space than actual 'things' such as protons/neutrons/electrons or in antimatters space: anti-protons and positrons!!!
electron + proton = positrons (that is their celebrity merged married name!)
So as you can see I had physics today otherwise not alot happened today.. my voice still bugging me so no singing unfortunatly!

You're probably wondering or NOT why I chose such random times to blog well I am in no way a procrastinator as any of my friends will tell you. So I revise for a certain amount of time and my treat is to blog! It works really well!! So now I'm on my break from Biology and a bit of Econ!
So once I have finished this post I will be doing some Econ Unit 2!!
So I'm going to go do that....Bye bye xxxx

Hope you all had a lovely day
and even if you didn't just think your anti-matter self must have!!
Much love

Blogunnukah day 6/13...

Happy birthday to me,
Happy birthday to me,
Happy birthday to Saskia,
Happy birthday to me!!!
Dont' you find it strange how everyone in my Biology class couldn't help but sing the above to me despite the fact.. its not my birthday!!
But it is the one the ONLY TAYLOR SWIFT!
Happy Birthday Swifty!!!
Ironically...... guess what I got for Hannukah.. A Taylor Swift Calendar!!

There is one thing bad about this time of the year.. what I like to call a Christmas common cold.. as I was born without tonsiles.. dun dun dah.. everytime I get cold it goes straight to my throat.. so I can't sing properly!
This is the point you all go uhhh... poor you!!
I really don't want to be ill.. at this point well at every point school is just too important to miss and to much fun to want to miss (the depressing thing is I'm not joking!!)

So on Saturday hopefully I will have volgunnukah up for the final day of Hannukah as my best friend and I are going up to town shopping... jelly???
We're going to get a crepe from the best place ever?? Want to know where check back later!!!
I just need to get that little lady to remind me to film an outfit of the day of her and I when we have got our crepe.. good idea isn't it!! So (lets call her Sarika as that is her name!!... remember remember!!

What else is there to tell you guys?? Not much actually it was one of those days.. Well tomorrow I am recording my choirs rehersal for my ICT coursework so remind me please that would be nice!! And I have a singing lesson.. well thats a fail!!

I finalised my A-level choices for now but I have been told there is several other occassions where I may be able to change them they are as followed:
-Biology
-Maths
-History
and Economics!
... I actually can't wait for next year.. when that's all I'm studying!!! No.. hate to name names but RS!!

I would like to also bring to your attention the topic of Movember.. our school did that last month and rasied over £2,000. The male teachers of our school almost all it seemed 'forgot' to shave.. so what do you think of mustaches...

THE PERFECT THING TO SAY TO YOUR TEACHER WITH A MUSTACHE.....I AM SO FUNNY!...

thank you for agreeing Sheldon!!

 

So I hope you enjoyed this incredibly random post.. this is how I roll!!
See you all tomorrow

Much love,

Blogunnukah Day 5/12

So I promised I would do a blogpost so here I am doing a blogpost.. yes its a bit late!
I just got back from my schools christmas concert and yes thank you for asking it went quite well! Once I finishe playing in the Orchestra (Alto saxophone of course) I had to go back to the sixth form block and wait until the concert finished. So I plugged in my ipod to the tune of its beginning to look alot like christmas and wrote 25 or so Christmas Cards.

Now I love writing Christmas cards: this year the cards say things like
Wishing you a Merry christmas
Hope you have a new year filled with love and happiness
Good luck with your mocks!
_____ (insert subject here) buddy!!!

But the older I get the less cards I write.. do you find that! Its not like I really want to send any e-cards I mean that kinda shows you don't care.. don't you think!!

This one is going to be a short one bare in mind as I have to go wash my hair and go to bed... I mean c'mon I need my beauty sleep!

So maybe I'll have today as a little review of my day so far.. believe you me I doubt a hairwash is going to make this day the BEST DAY EVER....
Chemistry was first an experiment that ended well badly.. the opposite of our predicition happened and really the opposite of science happened, the more water we added to the reaction (therefore the lower the concentration of acid became) the faster the Mg reacted.. need I say anymore to tell you something was wrong with that whole experiment! But something of interest my teacher was wearing this amazing necklace it had an element of the periodic table that corresponded to the first letter of her name.. i NEED NEED TO FIND THIS.. S is for SULPHUR!!

Not much actually happened today.. I had an anti-bullying meeting which was perfectly fine... it was my day to prefect meaning I could stay inside when the weather outside was frightfull but the radiator was so delightful.. get what I'm doing!!!

I guess the only other thing of interest well umm I've kinda forgotten sorry.. well I did cry in English we were watching To Kill A Mockingbird, and Scout was talking about missing her mum and I just teared up.. you know how it is!  (BTW: does not mean I'm suffering from that.. its just I couldn't imagine a world without my mum in it!!!)
Hannukah today: I got this gorgeous scarf/snood/etenity scarf/whatever you want to call it! I also got some cute bits and bobs giving me ideas for other peoples christmas gifts!

So thats it for now I guess!! Sorry it was short
Hope you all had a good day!
Much love

Welcome to Blogmas/blogunnukah

Hello all,
Happy Hannukah!
Right now I am blogging (obviously), while wearing christmas PJ's and matching socks(IRONIC.. AS I JUST SAID HANNUKAH also just to make this would even more ironic I got these PJS for Hannukah!!!... I'm too cool!

BTW: due to this I am not going to be doing my series of American universities or DofE until January.. so sorrie for anyone who now is annoyed!!
SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO WELCOME TO:

 

BLOGUNNUKAH! DAY 11

 

I thought today I'd just kind of talk about how I celebrate christmas being Jewish. I am what they call a 'reform' Jew. See the thing is the stuff I love about Christmas I don't get:

- the tree

- the decorations

- the lights

- the presents!

 

But before you go all uhhh poor you! I love Hannukah, it may be because as most of you know I am quite obsesssed with candles and during hannukah you get to light not 1 not 2 but 8 candles.. actually in actual fact you get to light 44 candles over the 8 days.. wow that is huge!! You can see why a candle maniac like me loves this festival! BTW I am leaving out the fact that my mum is absouletly amazing at getting me gifts I love for Hannukah... I mean PJS how does she know!!!?????

 

 

What else do I love during this festive time... Michael Buble but more generally every single christmas song ever written by mankind or womenkind!!
From Wham to Band Aid to Mariah Carey... c'mon I know I am not the only one!!!

My favourite song has to be Mariah Carey All I want for Christmas is YOU...

I can't be the only one!! This song is just well its just so christmasseyyy!!!

If you haven't seen it just watch it for yourself you will see what I am talking about!!

Now how can I forget Christmas films from The Holiday to Love Actually and traditional ones: Miracle on 34th Street and Bishops wife: (Please see all trailers below!!!!)

The Holiday trailer

Love Actually Trailer

Miracle on 34th Street Trailer

The Bishops Wife Trailer

ENJOY!!!

One of these vlogunnukahs will be all about my favourite I'll make sure it includes a review... just so you know why I love them so much!!!

 

I guess thats it for now.. I promise promise to blog tomorrow! I think I'm going to discuss christmas gift and present ideas!!
So please look forward to that.. I'm kidding.. but that would be so cool if you did!!!

Much love

Happy Hannukah!
