I thought I’d write a little blog rounding up some bits and bobs that have happened to me in 2012, it’s not that exciting and I can’t remember a lot of the things that happened to me. This year, I’m going to write down all the interesting things that happen so hopefully next year I’ll have lots of thing to talk about. Anyway…
January
I think it
was January when it snowed. Snow, where I live, doesn’t come in vast amounts
and the snow that we do get turns to ice very quickly. You find yourself
sliding to school, as appose to the traditional method of walking. It’s always
me that’s the first, and only, person to fall over. It just all happens so fast,
one minute you’re chit chatting to your friend about Eastenders and the next
minute, whoooosh, you’re on the floor. Of course, there’s always a gang on
giggling year 7’s behind you that make a great point of stepping over you while
your just sitting helplessly on the floor. This my friends, is why I’m all in
favour of school’s shutting at the first sign of snow.
March
March was a
very good month for me as it was when I did my first ever work experience. I
went to a local lifestyle magazine and I had a wonderful time. I learnt lots
about working at a magazine; the writing, the photography, the editorial and
even the advertising. The people were really nice too and were always on hand
to answer questions. I also had a view articles I wrote published, which was
lovely and very unexpected.
April
Chocolate
was a major factor in the month of April as it was, of course, Easter. I love
Easter because you can just eat lots of chocolate and not feel guilty. I don’t
understand why people would want actual presents at Easter instead of chocolate
eggs. During the Easter holidays me and my family went to stay in
a cottage in
May
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY TO ME! In May it was my birthday and I had a jolly time. I had my
first pair of Converse from my mum and dad and have quickly become my favourite
shoes. They are just so comfortable and they go with everything. Literally, I
know longer have to worry about finding shoes that match my outfit, it’s great
if you’re into minimal effort dressing like me. I even wear mine with dresses-
SHOOT ME. My birthday party involved a trip to Pizza Hut with my friends and
then party games out my house, it was great but the cleaning up after wasn’t (I
will no longer ask my friends to play games that involve cutting up chocolate
with a knife and fork).
June (You’re
halfway there, please keep reading…)
June is an
awful month because it feels like it should be the summer holidays but it’s not
and that’s sad. I honestly can’t remember what happened in June apart from that
my school was really warm and we still had to keep our sweatshirts on.
July
Finally,
finally it was the summer holidays. Don’t you just love the last day of term,
when everyone’s running around and swearing at the teacher because they can’t
do anything about it? If you go to a bit of a ‘rough around the edges’ school
like mine, you may have experienced the tradition of drinking (alcohol) in
school on the last day of term. Personally, I don’t observe this practice but
several of my friends came in with their vodka-orange juice concoctions and
were sat casually drinking them in maths. Let’s just say they were all very…
happy… by the time the bell went.
August
August was
the month of the family holiday. The less said about that the better. I’m
joking, it wasn’t that bad. But by the end of 2 weeks sharing a room with your
little brother and watching your dad attempt to dive into the swimming pool,
you’re ready to go home.
September
‘Back to
School’ also known as ‘Kill Me Now’. It’s just the worst thing ever trudging up
the school drive after a wonderful 6 weeks off. It’s usually ok because we
don’t have to be in until 11am but this year I had to be in, bright and early
at 9am to show the delightful new year 7’s around. My tour of the school went
something like this:
"This is the
library, there is books here.
This is the
canteen, there is food here.
This is the
tennis courts, you play here (except don’t play because that’s not cool, just
stand around in groups trying to look older than you are).
This is the
hall, stuff happens here.
This is a
maths classroom, I have no idea what goes on here."
November
I had my
final maths exam in November which was good and bad. Bad obviously because it
was maths and that’s not really one of my strong areas. Can someone please
explain to me what a Cosine is exactly? But it’s good because now I never have
to do a maths lesson again! (yes, that sentence deserved an exclamation mark) I
still have a lesson that’s supposed to be maths but I just sit and spin around
on my swivel chair because everyone else is doing a ‘bridge to A level’ course
that I am refusing to partake in.
December
FEED THE
WORLD etc etc. I love that song, it's my favourite Christmas song, although my
mother says if I had released it no one would have donated any money. Charming.
Anyway, I love Christmas so much, the food and the music and the presents and
the atmosphere. I just love it. Christmas dinner is my favourite meal of the
whole year and I start looking forward to it in June. This year was no disappointment,
with the usual display of pigs in blankets, turkey and roast potatoes being consumed.
Another event that happened in December was that my poor little dog chewed through
the Christmas lights and had 240 volts across his tongue. He’s fine now though,
he just had a bit of a shock, and a burned mouth.
So that is
a round up of my year. I congratulate you if you read it all the way to the end
and I congratulate you even more if you aren’t now crying with boredom. So yes,
happy new year again and I hope you have a wonderful 2013.
