You want me to kick it?

Hey guys :) How are you all doing?

- My revision is going well but I feel like I need another week instead of a day for my history! Apparently, though, my Mum say my history teacher last night and he told her that I didn't really need to resit SO if I don't do better than last time (which was a B) it's not going to be the end of the world. He reckons that I can easily make up the marks on my coursework. I'm kind of wishing I hadn't decided to resit it now but then if I do do better then that'll  be good so *shrugs* I'll see what happens.

The exam is tomorrow afternoon so I get the morning off school to prepare/revise which means I should also be able to catch up on some sleep. The thing is, I really don't want to be trying to cram everything in tomorrow morning so I'll probably just do a quick read over my notes and then try to relax. Then I've just got exams on the next two Mondays and I'm done for a while.  

-The coursework is going okay at the moment, too. I have more of an idea of what else I need to include in my analysis and I think I've found a pretty good book that I should be able to quote from (although I still need to try and track it down!) The thing is, I want to have a first draft done by the end of the month but I'm going to be starting coursework for history this Friday and then we'll be starting our English Lit at the end of the month and it's kind of a lot of coursework! The history coursework is pretty intense because they're two different essays and they're both pretty research-heavy. It should also be really, really interesting, though :)

-We're finally getting all of these leaks etc sorted out - we have people here now putting scaffolding up so hopefully our living room won't be furnished with buckets for much longer! Of course, the Tesco delivery arrived right when they were in the middle of putting it up - bad timing!

- Watched 'The Blind Side' last night and I really, really enjoyed it. Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw were both really good in it, as well. I missed the first half hour though so I think I'll try watching it all the way through some time.

-Mum and I finished Leverage Season 1 a few nights ago. It was really nice for me to watch them all in order again because sometimes I tend to just watch random episodes. My Mum really, really enjoyed it and we're definitely going to get Season 2 to watch together :) It's so nice to be able to do that.

-My little sister is choosing all of her GCSE subjects at the moment which is scary as hell. I don't know how she's grown up so quickly! She's interested in some pretty cool subjects - history, french, art (I did all of those) and pyscholgy. I just can't believe she's choosing her options already!

-The icon isn't relevant but it is so totally awesome :) Made by the awesome hellybongo 

-I'm going to go and revise some more now!

Day One - Your best friend

Hey you!

I think that, by now, you know that you're my best friend. You know me so, so well and I don't think I've ever had that with a friend before. Sometimes, I think you know me better than I know myself; you talk me out of doing stupid things and, no matter how grumpy or upset I am, you can always make me smile just by being yourself.

You are honestly the first friend that I can be entirely myself around. Before you, there were groups of girls that were more bothered about climbing the social ladder than looking after their friends. And then there were the ones who were nice to me as long as I did what they wanted to do. With you, it's about compromise and sharing and being ourselves.

Neither of us have many other friends around us and, yeah, it would be nice to have our old friends back or to make new friends, but I don;t feel like I'm missing out. You put up with me being me and you even put up with the fangirling and the slash and the moaning about writing deadlines. You're the one I call when I'm upset and need to talk. I just hope that I'm as good a friend to you as you are to me. And, yeah, if you ever read this, I'm coming across as over-emotional etc but I just want to say thank you for being who you are and for encouraging me to be who I am.

*hugs*

ps. You're probably going to get a lot of letters over the next 30 days ;)
