Sarah. 17. Bristol.

A woman just walked down my road jumping and going ‘NOOOOO!’ I genuinely thought it was my old Art teacher… that was weird.

This has been a pretty uneventful week really.

Like I can’t even remember Monday it was that uneventful…

I got told I’m doing 1,000,000 x better in Sociology though, which for me was super amazing to hear, cos I always believe I’m bad at everything other than reading, that was pretty much it.

Tuesday I was absolutely bullied by my nieces and nephews, so my niece Shelbie is always fairly mean to me anyway cos she finds it funny… so I do the same to her, muwaha. But she’s told me I must save up for her birthday and buy her a real life dragon, I’m so proud of how much she has in common with me, my aim is to create a mini me, that would so weird, but so amazing all at the same time. My other niece Alicia is usually an angel, but for some reason Tuesday she was in a right weird mood, she just kept telling me I smelt and was just throwing non hurtful abusive words at me. Then my nephew… Tyler, when he wants to be (which is most of the time) can be the most annoying and horrible child ever. This week, I shouldn’t have found it funny, but I did… He threatened to ‘bust me up’ hahaha. I think it was just the fact that my little 5 year old white boy nephew had said it, then after he threatened to steal my purse, so I was really paranoid. Then he also broke my phone for a short while because he got really annoyed that he couldn’t work out how to talk to Josh so we had a full on scrap over my phone - I am now bruised because of this… and that’s that really!

My grandad is also doing a lot better, which is really really good. He’s always doing so much that he wears himself out, but he never stops trying, I have so much respect for him because of that, for both of my grandparents, they always to as much as they can for themselves and for everyone else.

Wednesday was an inset day, I went to see The Woman in Black, and saw Emily and Sophie outside of school for the first time in ages.

And Miguel, ahhh, Miggles. He’s well funny.

But if you plan to see The Woman in black I have 3 tips for you.

1. Do not believe that it’s a 12A, it is so scary, it should be AT LEAST a 15.

2. Do not watch it alone, just don’t, oh my god.

and 3. Don’t even bother taking food, you’ll be too on edge to eat it/it could be a choking hazard/you might drop it and be very sad.

Also for those that are Harry Potter fans, try and put it out of your mind that Daniel Radcliffe was ever Harry Potter, I couldn’t and it kind of ruined it for me. I was really confused, cos it was pretty confusing anyway, and I was just waiting for Ron to pop up.

On Thursday I discovered I’d gained a really bad cough, it’s so painful, and really annoying because I’ve had like 5 colds this year now already, my immune system is so rubbish.

And today, I’ve basically spent the whole day drugged up, because I don’t want to miss much school now, because after Easter it’s exam time, I’m well scared.

This week, out of a possible 16 lessons I’ve only had 9, I’ve been so bored. There are no lessons that I hate and don’t want to do (other than Maths because it feels like I’m never going to pass that) aaaand…. I like learning.

But I’ve just started thinking about all the things I’ve not been doing because I’ve had no one to do them with, and I was talking to my sister B yesterday about it all, and right now I’m just happy with how everything is. I’ve decided I need to start putting myself first. I’ve not cared what other people think for a while now, but there’s still been that small part of me that will keep trying to put things right with anyone and everyone. I just can’t be bothered. I know who my friends are.

I’ve found recently that the ones that might not want to be around me when I’m in a bad mood, but most of the time still are are the people that always will be there. And the people that aren’t there will still text me everyday to see how I am.

And recently - it may sound silly to people that don’t actually know him, but the people over the past couple of weeks have asked…

- How my Grandad is doing

- If I’m okay

- If my Gran is okay

and - If any of us need anything

Are the ones that have made me the happiest by showing me they’ve cared.

Because I stop seeing the point in some things if another person doesn’t even seem to be bothered if you’re there or you’re not, or if you’re okay or you’re not…

It’s annoying that I have to wait over a year to move to Swansea, because that is when everything is going to change and my life is really going to start.

But I feel super old.

Me and my Gran worked out 2013 is a big year.

  • I turn 18
  • She turns 80
  • My mum turns 50
  • It’s my Gran and Grandad’s Diamond (60th!) wedding anniversary
  • I move away from Bristol (hopefully!)
  • My sister Emma is 20
  • We go to Jamaica for my 18th
  • My niece Shelbie turns 10 (double digits :(!)

And I think that’s it, but it’s still loads!

oooooooh.

Well, I’m off to see 2 of my friend’s bands play tonight, they’re always fun.

I’ve also realised my countdown has been well dodgy, some days its been right, some it’s been wrong… but anyway, it’s 16 days until Game of Thrones.

This blog is going to be about a bit more than Young Kato, but that will be the main thing because that was what my evening consisted of yesterday, seeing a band called Young Kato, with my friend Chloe.

We saw them before in November, when Olly Murs did the Christmas Light switch on at The Mall. Which was really fun. We trampled on many little kids, because I promised I’d get us nearer to the front. That was the first time I’d spent any time at all with Chloe, and it was really fun. I’d never really spoken to her before that, but now I enjoy going out and spending time with her! She’s a really nice person, and so easy to be around and enjoy myself.

After we’d seen them, and both really liked them, she looked into when they were next playing - she found the date, and we got tickets… As you would for a gig.

It was the best evening I’ve had for a while, we laughed about stupid things, like the fact that I hated every person in that crowd that was near us, they all made me so angry. I mean, usually there’s atleast 1 dick near me in a crowd that you can just shove and they stop being a dick. But the 3 girls infront of us, I wanted to hit, the 2 behind us, I wanted to hit, the 3 behind Chloe, I wanted to hit. It was just a room of annoying fan girls - no offence meant to anyone that is a fan girl and not an annoying one.. But other than that, it was a good night!

Then I came home and had a really nice night with my mum and stepdad before he went home. They were chatting so much rubbish, it was just really funny. I had a really nice day with my stepdad yesterday too, we spent the day googling stupid stuff and just trying to find exciting AC/DC things.

I haven’t laughed as much as I did yesterday since I went out on Wednesday. And to only laugh that much in a few days means I’ve had alot of wasted day this week. Because a day without laughter is a wasted day, I feel.

So that was yesterday.

Today, we were meant to be going to Croydon, to see my Auntie Brenda, because she had a stroke last week and is really quite ill. So it wasn’t for a happy reason, but we’d get to see her, and see her son and his wife, Eric and Sonia, who are amazing people. I have so much respect for them and just wished they lived nearer! But anyway, we didn’t go, because we couldn’t get hold of Eric, so we wouldn’t have had anywhere to stay, and mother didn’t fancy driving 6 hours today.

So instead, I’ve done the lottery - which I’m so excited about because my horoscope said today would be a lucky day for money, and I’m going to believe it, because my lottery number’s are the numbers Hurley on Lost used, which he won millions from… So fingers crossed… (I probably won’t win anything)

I’ve also read alot today, which is good. 44 days until Game of Thrones is back! So very excited.

I’ve also decided something. I thought about it on Thursday, but now I’m sure. I’ve decided to leave sixth form and go to college. I absolutely hate my sixth form. I know people shouldn’t look forward to going to school/college, but I dread it. I hate getting up in the morning and everyday think ‘I could just email my teacher and do work at home’. So Monday morning when I’ve got 3 hours free, I’m going to fill out college applications! Then work as hard as I can until May, (hopefully) do amazing in my exams and not have to retake Year 12, and finish my A Levels somewhere new.

That is going to give me motiviation to get up in the morning I think!
