Living in Luton (well, until Monday anyway) days 2,3,4 and 5

I got too tired to post on the other days. So yeah...

Day 2

Woke up about 11ish. We went to Luton mall for a bit. I only bought a hair band for Saturday. We went around for a look and whatnot and had a McDonald's followed by fresh popcorn. We went back to my aunties before my dad went out with my cousin, Paul, for a drink. Meanwhile, my Auntie took me to get food. I had a Chinese again but this time I just had rice and pompadoms, since the were the only nice things. Not much else happened today.

Day 3

Up and early ready to go to London. After having a nap on the train, we got to London before catching a tube to Covent Garden. I hate lifts so I went up the steps. There were 193 of the buggers so I felt dead after climbing up them.

The good people of he Apple Store let me charge my phone in here which I was pretty glad about. We also went to Candy Cakes- a cute little cupcake cafe. Enjoyed it in there. We looked around before heading off to Camden. Didn't stay there all that long before heading off to Oxford Street. Obviously, Disney was amazing. Really enjoyed it in there. We looked around a little more before heading home. My dad and I both felt pretty ill so we thought it was for the best.

Day 4

Today was party day so I lounged about before getting ready and heading off. It was lovely to meet more of the family. We got on really well and my cousin, Kerry, had to beautiful dogs- Frankie and Rosie. Frankie's a Staff and Rosie's a Rottwiler. They were so well behaved and loved having attention. It was a great night and I had a lot of fun.

Day 4

A pretty lazy day. Popped to Luton mall for an hour and then came home. I had a nap because I've been feeling pretty ill all week. I woke up after an hour and my Uncle Norman and Auntie Pauline came to visit. Had a bit of a chat before uploading photos from last night. Now I'm just chilling on the sofa while my dad teaches my auntie Rita to use a laptop.

Tomorrow, we travel home. I dislike travelling. Especially by bus. Bleugh. But my mother has done my room out so I look forward to sleeping in my own bed tomorrow.

Living in Luton (well, until Monday) day 1

Hey hey.

So, it's day one in Luton. Today hasn't been the best. It was mainly travelling. After waking up at 6am with no sleep that night, travelling by train to catch a bus to catch a coach wasn't fun. Especially when said coach was freaking boiling and had no air conditioning. We were on there for like 4-5 hours. We arrived at Victoria Coach Station at about... Was it 1? I think it was about 1. I was too busy trying to battle my way off the coach for some oxygen. We grabbed our luggage and headed to the nearest pub. I, of course, had an orange juice while my dad had a coffee. That time off the bus was bliss. I felt really ill on the bus. I did try sleeping on there but it was so uncomfortable. Small review: if you want to travel cheaply to London, go with Mega Bus. Dirt cheap. If you're looking for comfort, luxuries and oxygen whilst traveling, you're better off paying more for a different bus. I dread the journey home already.

After our beverages, we headed to the stop for the Greenline bus which would take us to Luton. Since we had plenty of time, we popped into a shop where my dad bought me an iPad case for £20. Good quality, too.

We hopped on the bus once it arrived- and this bus was way better than the first- and had a two hour journey to take us to Luton. The journey consisted of this rude old man complaining about stupid things and insulting the driver, listening to some music and falling asleep but not actually sleeping. I still haven't had a full hours kip yet.

We finally arrived in Luton where my Uncle Norman and Auntie Pauline picked us up and took us to my Aubtie Rita's- our home for the next few days. We had a bit of a chat before they headed home and we went to get a takeaway. Must admit, the Chinese here has gone down hill. Didn't enjoy it anywhere near enough as last time. Meh.

For some reason, my cyclothymia had been playing up the past few hours... No idea why. Maybe it's because in slightly homesick? Maybe it's because I'm in a different environment? Who knows? All I know is it's irritating.

Anyway, that's all that's happened really. I'm tired but not off to bed just yet.

Nothing else to say...

Talk tomorrow! Xx

Alcohol, How I Hate Thee

I wrote this at 2am and didn't check through it due to my anger and tiredness so if it's not written correctly as a poem, it's a Jazzem.

Alcohol, how I hate thee

Alcohol, you may not be able to speak,
But you control what words
Come out of people's minds,
You're an evil substance, you ruin lives
I daren't associate you with mine.
Oh, how you act as an innocent drink,
But you mess with people's minds,
Control what they think,
You have caught many people in your
Stupid, horrific trap,
Though you won't catch me, no,
I shall never fall for that.
You may have taken my friends away,
Turned them into someone else,
I wish I could bring them back,
But alas, you are too strong for me.
People see you as a confidence booster,
Something to socialise with,
I see you as a life shorter,
You ruin people's chances.
So many lives you have taken,
I wish were non existence,
How simpler life could be,
If you were to vanish from this earth,
Alcohol, how I hate thee.

Nearing the End

Hey...

So, I've finished my GCSE's. Finally. Okay,my predictions are maths- fail, RE- fail, English- pass (just about), Media- pass (just about). I won't go into detail about what happened but there were some issues and what not so yeah.

I've decided to do the rest of my science as an extension to my already passed coursework. It will give me 4 GCSEs and therefore, I will only need one more C grade to confirm my place in college.

Friday, I went to an exhibition at he college I will be attending and I was so inspired. It was really amazing. The work done there is fantastic and it influenced me to work hard.

Speaking of being inspired,my project, Inspire had its premier for the new video the other day. Was pretty successful. Will write more about it when I have time.

I'm going to Luton next week to see my family and go to my Uncle's 70th. I'll also be going to London for the day whilst there. So excited. I think I'll enjoy Covent Garden a lot. It's such a lovely place.

Today I filmed CLICvlogs with some friends and stuff so keep an eye out for them.

So tired now... Will write again soon.
