I just realised this: On my profile page where you had to type in your birthday I wrote 3/4/93 because that's what I usually write. Turns out it takes 93 to literally mean year 93! So for about a year my blog has said that I am 1618-9 years old! THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO MUCH! I changed it. Too bad if you didn't see.
Speaking of changing, I had a good day at school today :) but I think I am going to change from Theatre to Geography, just because it would be so much more beneficial to me when applying to Uni's and also help me a lot more in my studies. I really don't want to tell my theatre teacher though! SHE'S GOING TO EAT ME! so erm, yes, I'm not entirely sure what exactly I am going to do right now, also the fact that there was originally only 3 people in my theatre class does not help me in changing it. THEY NEEDED THREE PEOPLE TO DO THE COURSE! aaarrrgh, so right now I am kind of in a state of panic. Wish me luck in my asking to change.
Other than that my day was good. I had English which I really enjoyed and I really like my teacher. German, which was okay, I suppose, though we did have to do presentations, and then I had maths, WHICH ACTUALLY WASN'T OKAY! (I do realise I am talking in caps quite a lot btw, it's just my emotions, and I'm not talking I am typing, but that's a different story) I put down to do standard level Maths, but apparently because my higher level subjects are mostly English/essay subjects they "assumed" that we wanted to do maths STUDIES! Which is what you do if you're not very good at maths (maths is compulsory). I thought this was incredibly rude of our teachers to un-inform us of this "change" that they had put in place. I plan on writing a letter or asking them if I can do standard level as well as changing my option. I had Biology in first period, which I really enjoyed, we're starting to study neurobiology, which I just find fascinating :)
Anyway, enough geekiness. Today is FRIDAY! I am going to read, play music, play badminton and RELAX this weekend in preparation for a FULL week at school.

First day of school...
So today was the first day of school and so, it was also my first day of 6th form... which is slightly daunting thinking of how fast all these years have flown by. I remember by first day at secondary school when I was 11. Now I'm practically a grown up. Scares me a bit.
We have to wear smart clothing and I quite liked what I was wearing if I say so myself, and everyone else seemed to like it too. But lets face it jeans and tshirt would be SOOOOOO much easier to work in. They also made this "bistro" for the 6th formers, it's meant to be all great and stuff with wi-fi and a cool atmosphere. It was cool for the first 5 minutes. Then we realised you had to have a password for the wi-fi. Then it was a bit small, and a bit silly really. AND MY LOCKER HAS SOMEONE ELSE'S CRAP FROM LAST YEAR IN IT! Filled with food and drinks. I'm never going in there.
I'm doing the IB diploma over the next 2 years and I'm kind of looking forward to it but kind of not. There are about 10 people in each of my classes. I'm used to about 30! No one talks, so it seems like it's just me giving the teacher information and it's just a bit annoying. None of my close friends are in any of my classes, but then again hardly any of them are doing the IB. This sucks. I suppose it will get better in due course, but the day was just kind of crappy really. I got a ton of homework including read a book by next week and do a presentation for tomorrow. asdjghiornksjdnb,!
Anyway! I got home and read 'The Catcher in the Rye' and finished it. It's quite a heart warming book I felt. So that was enjoyable. THEN the water stopped flowing through the taps. GREAT.

Not much
Do you know what I just did? LOL. I named this blog "Not Much" and then I pressed publish post by accident. Made me laugh :)
ANYWAY! Today I did nothing which was nice as I had had a full weekend. Well doing nothing isn't entirely true. I found some newspaper articles about random stuff for school, some of them were interesting, so that was quite nice to do. Then I played my instruments which I haven't played in about a month (bad musician), I enjoyed it a lot.
OH YEAH! I finished Sophie's World, I enjoyed it, though I didn't think that the ending made much sense so if anyone would wish to explain it to me feel free.
I made a video for my YouTube channel telling the world what I did in my summer holidays now that there are only 2 days left. It was nice to think about all those fun times again and I got kind of sentimental about it all, because I have had such an AMAZING summer and I've experienced and done things which I never thought I would do and things which were so out of my reach earlier on. I've had boring days, but I've never truly been bored or upset about anything and I'm glad for that. I bet all my summer fun will come crashing down on me probably the second day at school and my video will be "I HATE SCHOOL!" but never mind. Life can't be all about the good.

London Again
So today I went to London for the second time this weekend. Yesterday was more fun and interesting by far but what can you do.
We went and saw art. First the Tate Britain with this guy who walked and made art in the countryside and stuff, it was pretty good. Apparently he walked crazily fast he did like 113 miles in 3 days, and 1020 miles in 33 days CRAZY. To anyone who has done Duke of Edinburgh you will understand me when I ask "HOW?" Anyway he did these awesome word art things where he described what he saw on his walks or what he heard and things like that. I thought that was pretty cool.
Then we went to Kensington Gardens and took a look at the Serpentine pavilion, it's nice, but it's not like WOAH! Anyway there was this guy there who was checking to see if people were touching it (what is it with the public not being allowed to touch things?), I thought this was a bit odd, it was outside. The rain and the wind and the suns rays can touch it yet human hands cannot.... hm.
Then we went in the gallery and there was this weird exhibition on with contemporary art. There were these blow up toys that children use at the beach and such stuck through objects like ladders and chairs. They were actually aluminium.
I don't know how I feel about this kind of art. One way I think it's great how people can be so creative and such. Then other ways I just think "what is this crap?"
art is sometimes weird. sometimes a bit too weird. but I suppose that's the thing that makes it art. the weirdness.
I've nearly finished reading Sophie's World. It's the same kind of concept as above.
3 days til school = end of summer = bad!

SUMMER IN THE CITY
Okay I realised my blog has some kind of weird layout thing which I don't know how to get rid of, oh well.
TODAY was Summer in the City and it was amazing. It was my first youtube gathering and I was feeling a bit nervous when we approached Hyde Park gates, but I was also really excited about just meeting and hanging out with people who shared the same interest as me. It was awesome, first of all we just kind of mingled and people came to chat to us and stuff which was really nice.
Then we played pass the parcel which was crazy as there were around 200 people, it must have looked so odd for passers by and sure enough a few people stopped to look and ask what was going on.
"What's going on here"
"erm it's a YouTube gathering"
"what do you do?"
"erm. gather?"
yeah it's great explaining to people (Y)
I met Alex, Charlie, Jazza, Kristina, Liam, Steve and loads of other amazing people who I'm so sorry I can't remember the names of :(
We left at around 5pm as we had to catch the train back, so we didn't go to the venue which was a bit sad but Vikki's job has to come first. :)
Everyone was really friendly and I'm really glad we went though it was kind of on a whim. But that's the fun spontaneous London trips are the best.
I have sunburn and a bit of a headache, but the awesomeness of the day makes up for anything bad that can happen for the rest of the day! Which won't happen :)
Ahhh life makes me happy.

IT'S BEEN SO LONG!
It's been over a year since I last did a blog! This is bad times.
So I decided to re-start as I am almost about to start the new school year.
I don't even know how this will turn out, I used to be a wiz at blogs and all the stuff HTML things. But not so much anymore. I'm just typing furiously at my computer....
Yesterday was results day where everyone in the UK (minus Scotland and Southern Ireland) aged 16 got their GCSE results. Everyone was really nervous and scared the morning we got them and facebook was never ending status' reading "AHHHHH GCSE RESULTS, GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!" and mine was "I'm so excited. Is that weird?" I got about 15 comments stating that it was infact WEIRD that I felt this way. But to be honest I knew I had done well. Now I just sound like some boastfull nerd/boff person, but who cares.... Now I just sound arrogant. hm
ANYWAY
My results were good. here they are:
Geography: A*
Additional Science: A*
Biology: A*
German: A*
Physics: A*
Maths: A (WOOP)
Drama: A
Music: A
Science: A
Chemistry: A
English Lang: A
Religious Studies: A
ICT: A
English AS: A (DOUBLE WOOP)
So I am proud of myself :) My Mum even got out the Champagne. I don't like champagne... AH WELL! :)
Then I didn't really do anything for the rest of that day. We came home, and went blackberry picking with my friend Ellen on our bikes, which was fun! Then we came home, ate the smallest fraction of the blackberries that we had picked, had homemade ice cream, made raspberry milkshakes, and that was lunch. (Y)
Today the internet was down til around 6pm, which sucked so I couldn't upload my vlog onto youtube.
Tomorrow is SUMMER IN THE CITY! yayness. I'm excited, if not a little nervous, I've never been to a youtube gathering and I don't know anyone else who is going besides the 3 people I am going with. But I aim to make friend, so if you are there, and you read this, shout Julia! at the top of your lungs and I shall surely respond. :)
It was nice to blog. Tomorrow? YES!

Messin' with Mozart
Well ok, i know it was a while back I admit, but I have finally got round to writing about Messin' With Mozart.
We had rehersals all weekend at our school, which went on for hours upon hours on end!
The on THE DAY we went to the central theatre and rehersed under lights and technical stuff. We added the London Sinfonia Orchestra in and it sounded super good! I feel sorry for westend actors though being up there in costumes makeup singing dancing acting and not dying! The lights are so hot! I very nearly almost melted!
We also had the delight of having someone with a camera follow us all day! JOY! Its fun at first but annoying when every 2 seconds they stick the camera in you face and say "A few words?!"
The concert went really well and everyone enjoyed it loads although it was nice to go back home and collapse in bed! =]
