Tuesday.

Today, I am glad to report, has been the most productive day of my half term so far. About half as productive as I was hoping it to be, but at least I've done something.

Luckily, my body clock seems to be back in tune now that we have returned to GMT, so I found myself awake at my normal wake up time during short holidays- 8:30. Unfortunately, my morning was not productive: I wanted to finish both of my RE coursework essays, but I ended up playing 'Freecell' instead. I only discovered this game on Sunday, and I have become strangely addicted to it. However, the morning wasn't all bad: after my 192nd game of 'Freecell', I finally managed to complete one. Woop.

After lunch I walked up to the Library, in the hope that I would find a book that would tell me about the play I needed to write about for my English coursework, since my draft essay was so rubbish. Unfortunately, they had helpful books on every play except the one I needed, so I finished off my RE essays instead. Then I went round the shops, looking for various stuff I need for drama, but no where sells black or white face paint. It was 5 degrees and raining heavily, but I actually rather enjoyed just kinda walking around without anybody telling me where to go, what time to get back or whatever. Even though I live so close to Birmingham, I can't just walk to a bunch of shops or just a vaguely interesting place from my house, so it's nice when I'm at my Mum's to just be able to stroll down the road. Not that I enjoy shopping... Gah I just can't explain why I like it. I guess it's just independence and freedom. Or something.

After defrosting over a nice hot chocolate when I got back, I finally started to look at work experience placements again. I'm filling in an online application form for ITV, but it's taking forever. It's quite interesting though, and kinda practice for the future... having to fill in forms and stuff. That sounds weird but I'm getting kinda scared of the future now. It seems so close all of a sudden. And it seems pretty bleak. I can't even watch the news anymore cos it just depresses me. All of this stuff that I don't really understand, but I can tell is definitely not good, and it comes at a time when I need to start understanding all this stuff... bleurgh. My brain melts.

You can tell I'm not exactly in a happy mood right now, and I don't even know why. I think it's cos I'm tired. I hope that's why anyway.

On that note, I must go.

Bye Charlotte :)
