My Summer Bucket List 2016 //Maud

Heyo peeps,
I went to the Pride Parade yesterday and i kid you not, it was one of the best days of my life. I will put in a few pics down below. (This was written on Sunday the 26th June).

                       

My birthday is tomorrow but it kinda seems unreal because I have already had an amazing day. Today I am going to have a cute picnic with a few friends and have fun in the park. I feel like our generation spends so much time on the internet that we should get out every once in a while.

Anyway, it's now technically summer (although it may not feel it) so after Emile's, I'm going to do my own :)

1. Try not to care as much about what people think. 

2. Practice my ukelele everyday and try as I hard as I can at it. 

3. READ MORE!

4. Have a cute film night with my bestfriends.

Hello everyone,

I have to leave for my piano lesson in ten minutes, but I have enough time to squeeze in a little life update. Two and a half days until Summer! I can't wait. I am absolutely exhausted from this year. I am pleased to announce though that after all my hard work I have been accepted to take triple/separate science GCSE's! That might not mean much to some people, but I have worked so hard this year for it, even after being moved down two sets for no reason, so I am very proud of myself.

I am on page 900 of 994 in The Wise Man's Fear. I am so close! Hopefully I can finish it this week and spend my Summer reading something different. What are you doing this Summer? Let me know! It hardly feels like Summer in Britain due to the torrential downpours we experienced today. Oh well. You never can win with this country. First Brexit and now more rain. Maybe by Friday it will warm up again and show some sun, that sure would be nice.

Finally, I have gotten more time to read again. It's so lovely to sit down at night with a good book, I forgot how much I missed doing that. School is so busy and stressful during the end of the year. And then suddenly it's all over. Tests are all done and you get six weeks to do whatever you want. I am extremely thankful that teachers in my school don't give Summer homework. I would not be pleased. We do need a tone of folders though. A binder for this and a file for that. I can already feel how heavy my bag will be next year, my arm practically aches from the thought. Unfortunately I lost my entire pencil case a few weeks ago which means I have to buy everything in it again =(.

Don't forget to smile though =)

The End,

Hello everyone,

It's been a while, and lots has happened. My birthday has happened; that was really fun. I've almost finished end of year exams and I am happy to say that my hard work all year in science has shown and I have done very well. If I may say so myself. I am still reading The Wise Man's Fear. Whoops. I haven't really had time, honestly. Summer is almost here though! I am sure that you are as equally excited as me about it. Unfortunately I still have 2 or 3 tests and a piano duet performance between me and what I've been waiting for all school year. But not too long: two weeks, one day and counting.

It's 1st July now. Yep. I write my posts over several days. I am very excited because I have dance tomorrow and I think it's become the highlight of my week. Then on Sunday I'm going out with 5 of my friends and then on Monday I'm going to my friends house after school and I have the scouts barbecue and then on Tuesday it's teacher strike day and all my friends are coming to my house for a movie! *breathe*. It will be great.

Currently it is almost midnight and my neighbours are playing what is, in my opinion, really bad music, really loudly.

Oh and also I want to talk about jokes. Racist jokes, sexist jokes, homophobic jokes. I was recently talking to someone about this and how some of these "jokes" are not actually funny but rude. The person making the "jokes" told me that the only people who have a problem with them are either, and I quote, "oversensitive" or "pretentious". Now pardon me, but just because you think what you're saying is funny doesn't take away from how offensive it is. There is a very fine line between funny and offensive, and some people cross it. Even prance around on the other side, grinning at their own supposedly humorous comments. It's like saying "no offence". Just because to you it's fine doesn't make it not offensive. There is no excuse for saying things like that, no matter wether they were meant to be funny or not. And just to make it clear, I'm not talking about harmless joshing among friends. I'm talking about people making extremely racist comments and then labelling them as "jokes". Please stop. You are not funny you are rude, and I can assure you that most people agree.

Now that I have laid that out I don't think there is much more to say. See you soon, and always have faith in yourself =) (because I have faith in you).

The End,
