Fail At School. Potter. XMAS.

It's almost 11pm, and I'm really exhausted, so I don't know why I'm writing this, except I remembered it existed and then had the urge to update it. Even if this update is short.
  I'm stressed out with week. Although this isn't that unusual-i'm always stressed out about something (which is really bad. I should try and work on that... But I can't help it...). I have loads of tests and I haven't prepared for any of them and AH IT'S TOO MUCH SIXTH FORM IS TOO HARD. For the past few months I've completely lost all motivation when it comes to school. For GCSEs I was fine. I revised my ass off. I did homework. I actually tried. But now, i'm not doing all of my homework, i'm not revising for tests and so failing most of them. I feel behind in everything, and what's worse, I don't feel like I have the energy to do anything about it. It's really worrying, but I'm hoping that the Christmas holidays will give me a bit of a break and i'll be able to revise properly for my biology exam in January, and then come back in fighting spirit ready to work as hard as I used to.
  In happier news, I'm seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows again tomorrow and i'm really excited. It's almost two weeks since I saw it the first time and i'm looking forward to being able to see things I missed before (and enjoy it without the stress of the missing tickets like last time. What an absolute fail that was!) and seeing if my opinion on the film is still the same.
  Now I can barely keep my eyes open and there are probably loads of typos in this but who the hell is reading this so who the hell cares ?

25 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS <3

Just the way you are.

Over the past few days i've become obsessed with this musician on YouTube called Alex Goot -he's amazing and I can't believe I didn't know about him before. Despite his awesomeness, it did distract me from doing school work that really needed doing... But it was worth it.
  It's amazing how much some music can have an effect on you. Some music, you listen to it, forget about it, move on. And then you come across that one song which you can't forget about. For me, it's happened once. I can't describe it really, but I guess it has similar feelings associated with epiphanies or something. When I first heard the song Colorblind from the soundtrack of the film 'Invictus' I was more than blown away. I can't even articulate what I love about it. I guess it's how powerful the message is. A song that describes a very serious matter- a matter that has affected the lives of thousands of people. Something a disgusting amount of people still suffer from; racism. Despite what the song is about, the way it's arranged vocally - the harmonies in particular are peaceful, but it has a fighting spirit. I'm starting to ramble a bit now, I could talk about it forever and ever, that's how good it is. I guess what i'm trying to say is that you should go and listen to it now! The song is by the South African band Overtone, and if you like Colorblind then I highly suggest you check out their song 9,000 Days featuring Yollandi Nortjie who has a beautiful voice. It's very powerful as well.  For now I shall leave you with the last verse from Colorblind:

Hear me say it's time we stopped our hate,
Eye to eye we see a different fate.
Yes we've conquered the war with love at the core,
I stumble I fall but i'll stay,
Colorblind.

Adios <3

Wilkommen, Bienvenue... WELCOME ! (8)

Good evening non-existant blog readers!
I've tried many times to attempt to blog... and failed MISERABLY!
So, let's see if I can actually start one properly...
Things I did today:
1) Watched a playgirl hold a cockroach in her mouth for ten seconds (Yes. I just wrote that sentence.)
2) Accidentally deleted hours worth of work that i was re-doing because I already accidentally deleted it once.
3) Got ambushed by a saleswoman from Lush who convinced me to buy a £3 product.
4) STARTED THIS BLOG. BOOYAH!

Right darlings. The battery on my laptop is about to die. Fairwell :)
