Standard Grades and other Shizzle

My life has not been filled with much recently, hence the not very common posts as I've not had much to talk about! Standard grades (Scottish version of GCSEs) have been going on, and I'm just back from my fifth of eight exams, which was physics *shudder*, not really all that joyous.
Cannot wait til they are over and I can spend time with all my friends, which I really miss!

On that note, I'd like to say a wee note about my friends, as they are really important to me. They know who they are, and I really do love you all, I appreciate it :)

Will be a much longer post next time, I promise. Just wait til exams are over!

Love you lots like jellytots,

Boredom

I am now on study leave for my standard grades. When I first thought of study leave, I thought it was going to be brilliant - seeing friends, lying out in the sun, shopping, and with only the bare necessities of revision.

This is not the case.

Revision is constant, yet, still not much seems to go in. Everyone is really stressed so no-one is in a good mood, and some of my friends are locked in, made to do revision. I'm not locked in, but I feel guilty for going out or going on facebook. I'm such a downer right now!

So what I need is some cheering up, and this is where you come in. If you're reading this from my facebook page, and you know me, send me a cheerful and upbeat pm, which will put me in a better mood. If you are a stranger to me (though I still love you for reading this!) then just comment below.

Thank you, depressing rant over.

Love you lots like jellytots,

Malawi and Music

A strange mix... I know, but these two things are what mean a lot to me at this moment in time!

I'd like to tell you about my other blog that I set up the other day, as I'm going on a trip to Malawi. Please check it out!

Another very important part in my life is music. I dance lots, and I am seldom without my ipod or radio on in my room. I've found some songs that I'd love to share with you guys, and find out what you think of them!

First of all is a beautiful cover of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" by Daughter. This was recorded at Radio 1's live lounge, and gave me goosebumps. Haven't been able to stop listening to it since.

Secondly, my friend played this song a couple of days ago, and it brought a lot of memories flooding back. So sad, but still hopeful. And I'm sure most of you will not of heard it in a while, but thought you would appreciate it now. (Thanks Niamh)

But on a lighter note, my final song choice to share with you is "Attracting Flies" by Alunageorge. It's fun, quirky and feisty! Give it a go, something a bit different.

Hope you've enjoyed my random little selection of music!
