Blog Break

So I decided that, after blogging every day for 31 days (well... very nearly) it would be a good idea to have a little break. Not because I don't like blogging, but because my brain was starting to turn everything into a blog, and I figured that that was another step closer to insanity, which I would like to try to keep at bay for a little while yet. Also, since I now have a follower who actually reads this thing (*waves at Rachel*) I wanted to try to improve my blogging in some way... don't think it'll work, but ah well.

I thought that by leaving it a little while, I would have something interesting to talk about. I was wrong.

All that is going on in my life at the moment is GCSEs. I've only had one exam so far, Music, which went ok. Tomorrow I have RE and Maths Non - Calculator, Tuesday I have English Literature and Wednesday I have Biology. That's all for this week. But they're all so close together, and there's so much to remember. I mean, I am having to try to remember everything I have ever learnt just for an exam, and in 11 different subjects. I'm also having to try to learn all the stuff I should've learnt, which isn't easy. But anyway, I don't really want to think about it.

Eurovision Song contest last night. I thought it was ok actually. We did very well... in fact it was quite werid to see us up so high on the leader board. In previous years, if someone has given us 1 point I have been excited. I don't really know why Norway won though. They're song wasn't too bad, but, to be honest, unless I had heard previously that they were favourites to win, I wouldn't have given them a second thought. They would have just disappeared in the memory files along with Armenia and Bosnia Herzegovina. But ah well. Better than that Finnish entry that won a few years ago...

In other very exciting news, I was in Waterstone's yesterday, armed with a £10 voucher I was given for my birthday. I was hoping to buy the latest book in the Percy Jackson series (it's meant for pre-teens, but is so good and interesting and perfect to read during exams... so don't judge me.) but I couldn't find it. I was about to leave when I saw it. On the shelf. At the bottom. Just... there, where it hadn't been a few minutes before, I swear. I knew it was due to be published in England, but I didn't realise so soon...

Oh, did I tell you what it was? No. Sorry.

'13 Little Blue Envelopes' by Maureen Johnson!

I love reading her blog because they are always so funny and well written (I know she's an author so you'd expect it but you know what I mean) so I have always wanted to read one of her books, and now I am! I'm already half way through, althoguh I'm not really sure when that happened, but it's just so good! Definitely not a disappointment. And Rachel, if you're reading this, you can borrow it if you want :)

Now I'm listening to Elaine Paige on Sunday as my favourite West End actress is due to be on it today... yay!

Better go... bye!
