Recompense

Aesh. I haven't written here in a LONG time. Like forever, I've been so caught up in life! Lorl, I say that like my life is very interesting. Just the basic stuff tbh, sixthform, personal life, family etc. My summer has been an alright one. I think I posted after results day  - let me check. Yeah, I did.
Crazy how quick time flies, like the amount of things that have happened don't feel like it's been such a long time - if that makes sense? And also, it's the end of 2012! Literally, 2012 has gone so quick yet it's had a jolting effect on my life. I think my views have matured significantly to be honest but then again, it's called personal growth for a reason I guess. Everytime I'm about to write here I think I have a lot to say then it comes down to it and I have nothing to say, damn.
Currently, I'm sat in the library feeling victorious after completing my comparative essay. However, I 'm a bit apprehensive about the feedback I'm going to get lol. I still have my critical to complete which shall be done tonight when I get home. I've also done a bit of revision for History. I have two resits in January, which I really cannot be bothered to do. I got B's in them so it seems a bit pointless but then again I don't want to not revise for it because that will be massively counterproductive and knowing some of the teachers I have, they'd probably make me pay for the exam if I flop lorl.
Ohhh yeah! I've applied to uni, wooo ¬_¬
Ayeee, I stopped writing and I'm only now writing to finish it up. Mate, I've only realised just how MUCH revision I have to go through and I'm sooooo scared, like really. I'm gonna start revision at 11 so I've got about 20 mins to write now. (doubt I'm writing that much tbh)
Oh yeeeeah, applied for uni! ^_^ Applied for three different courses though, mad. Accounting and Management at Kent and Westminster, Accounting and Finance at Plymough and Leeds then Business Management at Queen Mary Uni. I don't know whether I want Kent or Queen Mary the most, I'm a bit nervous and apprehensive. Accounting and Management is the more "academic" degree and specialist but as I'm looking to do a top up degree with Law so I can go into Company Law/Soliciting, it wouldn't really matter what I'm doing - Queen Mary is better uni but BM isn't really all that. However, the main modules I'm looking to do which is Corporate Governance and Business Law is in both courses, I don't think I'm too fussy. AAAANNNDDD Queen Mary is in London which would be super live to live in - would make a great change from Northampton. So far I've only got two offers which kinda sux :( but I'm still appreciative of them though! I've got them from Plymouth and Westminster. 
Aye, I can't wait for my gap year, I'm exxccccciiittteeeddd. I'm going to spend a bit of time in Nigeria, might do some charity work, then do some travelling then work for a bit. Going to spend a lot of the summer til November working so I can save up - I reaaaaally want to go to Seychelles, Gambia, South Africa and Egypt whilst I'm in Nigeria, hopefully I save up enough to fund it! I should be back around June so I can sort out my student finance and accommodation, etc for uni. A bit troubled about the fact that, due to my gap year I'm going to be like a year behind my friends but then again I'm quite young for my year (July born) so I'm going I'll be 19 which will be the same age as 1st years :) 
Presently I'm trying to get my head round the fact that the time I anticipated for revision is a lot longer than what I actually have *sigh* So I have to go to the library LOOOAADDSS, tomorrow I'm going to the uni library so as to get a lot more done. Kinda pointless resitting these exams but I've stated why already. 


Anyhooooo, I hope you lot reading this had a great holiday period and thanks for reading this. Sometimes I question myself for the reasoning behind creating this blog because it seems kinda pointless but then I look at the views and it kinda gets me all chuffed lol - people actually read it ^_^. So far I've got 4433 views, great stuff! My blog is a form of catharsis and people say it's relatable, also it's sort of memory keeping as well. Especially the little things, it will be things I'll read later on in life and be like "Ohhhh, I remember that!" lol. 


"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something. So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.

Make your mistakes, next year and forever."
