Things Working Themselves Out

I'm not really sure where to start with this post. To be honest I am not really sure what it is about yet. So I will just write down whatever comes to mind. Today has been a good day. Maybe even an amazing day. What happened to the crazy stressed girl from a few days ago who was an emotional mess? Well I took a break. I feel slightly guilty than I spend time relaxing and having fun instead of doing work. But actually, I think I benefited more from having a rest than I would have from the extra hours of revision. I have been working myself to the ground lately. There was just too much going on all the time and it was exhausting. There is still too much going on but now I feel calmer and a little bit more prepared for the next lot of crazy to occur. I think I was too busy trying to control everything around me, that I forgot one of the things I always tell myself. Kind of like a mantra. Things work themselves out in the end. Sure not always the way you want it to. But a lot of the time you just have to let life take its course and accept what it is given to you rather than control everything.

Three days ago, I was emotional and stressed, dealing with summer trip plans, work, revision, my boyfriend, student finance and my mum. I wanted to fix all my problems at once. Instead, I stopped all of them. Just for a day. I slept. Watched TV. Had a nap. And by the time I woke up, one of those things had been sorted. My flights were booked. My relationship with my mum (which has been very strained these last few months) was slowly repairing itself, and I had an amazing evening with my boyfriend. Sure, I still need to revise which I spent the last four hours doing. And I need to sort out student finance. But there is just the slightest weight of my shoulders which makes all the difference. I already feel more relaxed and happier than I have for weeks.

I have been too busy thinking about all the things that need to be done by the end of the school year, that I forgot about all the amazing things I have to look forward to. Going travelling, spending the summer with my old friends (and hopefully my boyfriend if we are still together then), spending time with my family (probably on the boat) and then going off to university with my best friend. I need to have something to focus on that makes me happy. A goal rather than worrying about how I get there. I need to trust myself that I can do it all as long as I am happy along the way. Because what is the point if i'm living a miserable life.

Anyway there is my random rant. If anyone has been going through anything similar (which is probably likely if you are finishing off school this year too.) then feel free to comment with your experiences. Or don't. Up to you.

Disneyland Paris: Part 2

Day 1: Sunday

So the trip started at midnight, where all 16 of us got on the coach. 6 of which arrived very drunk and possibly high! The next few hours was spent making comparisons between a guy on the coach and a monkey. Btw they have a lot of similarities. So then at about 3am we all went to MacDonalds. Then off we went to Britstol where we were picking up another school who we have never met at all. Whose brilliant idea was it to put a bunch of strangers on the coach?? At 4am may I add! So whilst waiting forever for these people to arrive we saw some people walking their dog. AT 4AM!!!  Who the hell walks thier dog at 4 o clock in the morning!!!! So after a huge stare off between schools, and we were forced to squish together more we left to go to Dover! 

After our ferry trip we finally arrived in France! Where me, Anna and a guy called Ben played Uno for hours. It wasn't until a few hours later that I realised that they were cheating the whole time! Once I took charge of shuffling I finally won! So then we get to the hotel which is Western Themed. 

We later watched high school musical and fell alseep really early. I mean, I hadn't slept in 40 hours!

Day 2: Monday

So the next morning I wake up to find that I have several missed calls and texts from my teacher. So I tell this to Anna who then reveals that Miss came in the night before and we had a conversation with her. Apparently she was meant to check on us at 10pm and we fell asleep before that so she spent hours looking for us. In order to do this she went into EVERY SINGLE ROOM, to ask if they new where we were. So naturally when we go downstairs everybody keeps asking us where we were. Even now, days later I still have to recollection of any of this ever happening! 

So we went to Disneyland Park where we  went on lots of rides, including one that we had no idea what it was when we were queing for it, a haunted house which I had believed to be freaking horrifying from 10 years ago and ended up being very underwhelming, and a really fun finding nemo ride which had a game you could play during the que, where you are Crush from Finding Nemo and you have to avoid things! 

We then went to the firework show which was AMAZING! So much better than expected! 

Day 3: Tuesday

Tuesday was our first lecture in the morning which was followed by an 8 hour break before a workshop that afternoon. So my friend Hannah and Anna wanted to see the princesses and so me and another friend left them for a few hours. As they qued to see characters we kept accidently bumping into them without any ques! 

We also went to "it's a small world" 

I later on dragged my friends and my economics teacher onto a rollercoaster which scared the hell out of them before we got on when we heard the screams or terror coming from the people already on. 

Later that night after my teacher checked on us, me and Anna were packing when I get a knock on my door from one of the guys asking to come over for drinks in there room. So that's how me and Anna ended up hanging with 4 guys and sneaking out to a bar in Disney village in the middle of the night. This then lead to a conversation about how me and Anna were gonna watch the Lion King and how she hasn't seen it but we weren't able to because my iPad wouldn't work. So two of the guys invited us back to their room to watch it. By now I was fairly tipsy and Anna was fairly drunk. So we ended up with the four of us squished in bed together. Then when I look over I see Anna making out with one of the guys. When me and the other guy notice this we then move away from them cause, eew gross! Don't need to be that close to them when they are doing god knows what. Eventually the other guy passed out and then I notice that the other two have..... Progressed? So I end up running off and call a friend freaking out about how I left Anna behind. When I hang up, Anna walks in carrying a bra with disheveled hair and a wierd look on her face. She then proceeds to tell me how far they got (nearly all the way), and started to freak out about people finding out.

Day 4: Wednesday

We had the most awkward breakfast in history with Anna and the guy awkwardly ignoring each other. This was followed by a lecture which I fell asleep during and was woken up to my friend and a guy staring at me. This leads to everyone asking me what happened last night. And I was like- what do you mean? I then find out that everyone was in another room talking about us the whole time! Everyone thinks I was up to "things" but of course I can't say anything because I have to keep Anna's secret. And that was how he foursome rumour was born! 

The rest of the trip is uneventful as I slept almost the whole way back home. I finally got home at around 3am and went to bed.

And that was my trip! Let me know if any I you have had any interesting trips or your experiences with Disneyland Paris!

Random Update!

Hey everyone! Yes still here! I havnt posted in a while. If you have read my previous post you will know that I was on a trip! So did not have much free time. I also have mock week this week. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is basically a week of practice exams in exams conditions. So I've been busy revising... Fun! The other thing going on is that it is my 18th Birthday this week! Yay! Can't wait. So I may not post much in a while but will try to make it up to you. I have the 2nd part of the trip (much better than the 1st) coming up soon and I'm sure there will be posts all about my horrendous mocks and my birthday! 

Goodbye for now!
