♫: like a clock needs the time; like white needs black

I know it's awfully cliche, but I genuinely do listen to all genres of music. I've grown up loving all sorts. My dad introduced me to classical and romantic when I was 13; whereas my mother prefers soul and r'n'b. I'm just down for whatever. So, I'm going to make a new feature to my blog, where every now and then I post a song that makes me happy and why... because I just want to promote a happier lifestyle! :)

So Much Love - The Rocket Summer

There's a weird story behind this one... I used to listen to The Rocket Summer when I was, like, thirteen or fourteen, and I can probably recite all the lyrics to every song still. However, So Much Love was my absolute favourite. But the other day at work, I met this lovely guy called Roland and we chatted for hours and hours about everything (I think he may just be my soulmate). So, we agreed to follow each other on Twitter and sent me a song to listen to... When I saw that it was So Much Love, I literally nearly died. I didn't mention once that I used to like The Rocket Summer or anything, so it really cheered me up for the rest of the day! Definitely soulmates? I think so...

report card: AS results

French - B - Could have done better. Will read more French novels and watch more French films.

Italian - C - Very disappointed. I love Italian, but clearly I'm not doing something right.

Geography - A - 100%, in fact. Applying to study BA Geography this year, so we have a very happy Tati!

Economics - D - No surprise here, I had an awful teacher who seriously messed it up for the class. Dropping this subject ASAP.

It's time to up the ante, a lot. I've been predicted A*AA next summer, and I want to make myself and my college proud. I WILL be going off to Southampton next year. Determined. Here's to a new start!

results day anticipation...

I had a bit of a bad year in Year 12... well, very bad. I dropped out over Christmas (then realised I shouldn't), wanted to drop Italian (but I was persuaded not to), did not nearly enough work, didn't take it seriously or appreciate my studies and just messed around. And, now, I'm suffering the consequences tomorrow. It's my own fault, really, but I've learnt my lesson now. My eduction is one of the reasons I began this blog, so I could keep on top form during the upcoming year and learn to enjoy going to school and learning! 

So, onto the scary stuff. Along with hundreds of thousands of other British students, I am nervously awaiting the results to my AS levels. I know it must be worst for the the year above, who really find out their paths to their future, but I really am quite anxious. 

My emotions are absolutely swirling right now. Will I do badly? Will I do well? Will this affect my university choices? Will I even get any offers? Like, I've always been told I'm naturally clever, and I got good GCSE grades, but I am genuinely so scared.

I studied French, Italian, Geography and Economics. I'm fluent in both French and Italian, but I found the actual exams hard, so I'm scared my grade will be lowered. I'm the only person in my sixth form who studies Geography, so I don't want to let my teachers down. And, my Economics teacher was appalling. Maybe I'm only thinking the worst, but you can see why I'm worried! But, you know, I may do really well and surprise everyone! I'm too scared to predict... I just want to think positively!

Next year, my last year of school, I pledge to work really hard and keep you guys updated with my grades, revision techniques and happiness within the college. One more year, I cant do it! I may even write a little list of goals....

Good luck, fellow students!
