I can only apologise

I can only say sorry for not writing a blog post in almost a week, except I have been extremely busy this week. However here is a catch up of what I have done.

I got my first Easter egg off my brother on Tuesday

I had exam results on Thursday (the less said about that the better, lets just say WJEC probably are not the most popular organisation with teenagers and teachers at this precise moment in time)

My nan brought me loads of cake mixture and ingredients to bake some treats today (I will probably post a blog post once they have been made)

I built a DVD rack- I've built so many things this year 

I started watching Doctor Who series 5 this week- very much enjoying it although I'm not too far in. AND I also started watching Merlin Series 1 again, and it makes me sad knowing what is going to happen but none the less I'm definitely enjoying it more this time around.

And that's about all that has happened this week. Hopefully I will schedule posts so they are not as disjointed... how about once a week on a Saturday or maybe twice a week? You see the problem is, is that I'm not that interesting so I don't have much to say, haha. 

What a dull week

This week has been nothing but crap. Seriously. My body has basically given up on me and is like "um nope, I will not work with this any longer" and so I have basically been like a walking sloth all week. Coursework has become the bane of my life and I'm about ready to throttle any other teacher that mentions the dreaded sentence "so we are starting our coursework today" because enough is enough I AM ONLY HUMAN, unfortunately I am no robot. The only positive of the week is that I have decided what A-Levels I am taking (English Literature, History, Welsh and ICT, in case you were wondering) and also Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus i bawb which translated means Happy St Davids day everyone. 

So in apologies for my rant about my dull week have an attractive picture of Colin Morgan.

and if that doesn't tickle your pickle marvel at these lovely men

And if none of them take your fancy then here have a cat 

and if that doesn't please you then I suggest you step away from the internet.

What's on my mind?

Are you sitting comfortably? Yes? Well lets get ready to take a trip through to my brain, good luck.

Have you ever loved a celebrity so much that you begin to hate them because of the emotional pain or feels that they leave you in? If you answered no, then I am very jealous of your sanity and capability to like something or someone without it effecting your life. If you answered yes, the I feel your pain, trust me I really do. The two people in particular (well more like gods than just people) that just make me loose all concentration and are the people to accuse for my high expectations in men are Colin Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, those beautiful, beautiful men.

Then we have the fictional side of my brain which includes my believing (and I wholeheartedly believe this) that I am a wizard, I only can't do magic because of the whole not being able to do magic in front of Muggles and its hard because I live with Muggles 24/7, and also I'm not 17 yet so I still have the trace on me. I also spend  a lot more time than I should thinking about ways I could survive in the hunger games should I have the need to and who I would be come allies with, what I would ask my sponsors for and what if I didn't even have any sponsors, what district would I live in? It's just too many derisions to be taken lightly. I also think about what faction I would be in or would I be divergent, would I be able to be like Tris and lose everything I cared about and have to carry on fighting anyway? Where would the doctor take me in the Tardis? Would I be a good companion? What about in the time of Arthurian legends, would I be a sorcer like merlin or a noble/royal like Arthur and Morgana or would I be a servant like Gwen?

The I have what I like to call the sensible part of my brain that thinks about matters such as school, university's, my future, exams it tells me I should be revising or doing homework (only to be ignored by another part of the brain) I should be eating healthier and doing more exercise  I should be more social and try to come out of my shell a bit. Oh you look fine today stop fussing about what people think, that kind of thing.

However, in contrast of the previous part of the brain I have my devil side that thinks oh you have plenty of time to do that homework piece leave it until last minute, ah it's ageeeees until exams don't start revising you'll have enough time to do that in study leave. Have some cake you can exercise tomorrow, it's fine you're not overweight so you don't need to worry. What the heck is going on with your face today you look like a tramp. You get the idea that part of your brain that every girl has and tends to listen to more than the sensible part.

Then I have a part of my brain that is extremely anti social and tends to be activated primarily when I'm in school, the part of me that just wants to destroy everyone just for breathing too near me or for speaking or just being there, it's for the type of people in school who are destined to fail and you just have no time for.

I then have the part which completely overrides everything especially in school which makes me think I am listening and taking in what teachers are saying when in actual fact I am making up fantasy scenarios, or thinking about what I'm going to do when I go home and end up literally having no clue what I'm doing when it comes to doing work and ends up making me seem like I am deficient. Along with this I also have the part that remembers seriously annoying song lyrics (call me maybe is a prime example of this) and makes it stick in my head all day leading me to driving everyone crazy with my constant humming.

*phew* I could go on forever, but I will stop now before you think I'm so crazy you'll never return again.

A little trip inside of my head.

This is a weird post today, but I want to show you my folders on my computer purely because I spend a hell of a lot of time on my computer and I save a lot of photos and all of them are relevant to my life, hence the title of the blog post 'A little trip inside of my head' although I'm pretty sure the majority of people wouldn't like to make it a long trip. This post will also show you how anal I am about how I organise my computer folders, its a slight OCD.

So we start off with a base of four folders each containing several sub folders, they are named Fictional Life, Blog, From Emma's Phone and Real Life.

In the folder 'Fictional Life' I have seven folders (each one is a Horcrux) named Daniel Radcliffe, Ed Sheeran, Harry Potter, Merlin, Tattoo, The Hunger Games and Tumblr. 

The folders that have sub folders are Harry Potter, Merlin and Tumblr.

In the Blog folder there's not much going on except cover photos that I use for personal blog posts or posts that don't really have a specific thing and a folder with interesting things, which is sadly lacking at the moment but I will rectify that soon. 

In the From Emma's phone folder it is just pictures from my phone and pictures that I have saved on my phone, nothing too exciting but necessary. 

And finally in the Real Life folder, it does exactly what it says on the tin and has folders showing various things of my life.

And that's about it! I know this was weird and random blog post, but this shows you what kind of things my life revolve around easier than words, after all a picture is worth a thousand words and I for one could not agree more!

Universities and the Future

Who ever came up with the idea that we have to chose our entire futures before we are even sixteen was stupid, very, very, very stupid.

I am currently in year 11 and fifteen years old, I most certainly do not feel old enough to be doing GCSEs let alone thinking about what I want to choose for A-Levels and also in short deciding what kind of university course I want to do and how many UCAS points I need to be able to further my studies. It's completely crazy! I'm pretty sure that the majority of teenagers my age go through this exact or similar feeling of feeling like a very small fish in an extremely big pond. 

I had a careers interview today and a sixth form parents evening thing last night, seeing all of the information that they threw at us and the options form for the subjects we want to continue with next year was extremely overwhelming and made me panic slightly. It suddenly became very real that in fact I am considered old enough to make these decisions and whether I'm ready or not I will have to decide soon enough what I want to do with my life, and pray that everything will work out and be okay. 

But right now I am just going to focus on passing my GCSEs and decide what I want to do on results day.... fun times lie ahead for me.....
