End of 1st Year

Sorry it has been so long. In my defence I was very busy with final assignments, exams, moving and work. On the bright side I got a 2:1 this year and an A in my accounting and finance exam :) 

So what is happening? Honestly not a lot. I'm trying to work hard and save money for next year but this week my shifts keep getting cancelled so I'm not earning any money. Which is really annoying me. You would think I would be happy with the free time but I'm just so bored. And I want money :p at least I have a second job soon but it's only 10 hours a week. At this rate I'm gonna need a third job that isn't affected so much by the weather. 

I'm still happy in a relationship. There was a rocky three days but things are improving and have been making up a lot ;) 

So I think what I need is a hobby. I used to love writing but I now struggle to come up with anything. Which is annoying because it would be the perfect thing to do with my alone time and I found out about a publishing company but would either need to "spice up" my old stuff or write something you. But can't think of anything to write. 

What else... My grandma and aunt are visiting. I love them but they are driving me a little crazy. They just don't leave you alone. And they took my newly finished room so I'm stuck in the spare room on a rock hard bed so I haven't slept in 4 days. 

I also visited my old school with my best friend because we got invited to talk to my brothers year about university. Which led to her and all my old teachers deciding that I should be a teacher. Which I am actually considering. But I would probably do it like 5-10 years after I graduate. 

So now I'm just chilling in bed yet again trying to work out how I am going to spend my day instead of working. 

Any suggestions?

My Start to 2017

Ready for some random rambling? Cause that is about all I have for you guys right now. So this year was meant to be the year where everything got better but that hasn't really worked out great. I started the year completely broke. Then I failed my driving test. And an hour after that my grandma died. Sucks right?

Death is a weird thing to process and understand. Other than my kitten Pepi dying when I was 12 I haven't really experienced what it is like for someone I love to die. My grandma and I weren't very close though. Which makes it even harder for me to understand how to feel.

Why weren't we close? Well it all has to do with the bad luck of being born 5 days after my cousin Francis. She is the daughter my grandma's only daughter. And my dad was the middle child to make things even worse. So there was always some sort of favouritism towards her. I actually think I wrote a post about it around last easter or the easter before that. So in the end its not really that we didn't love each other. She just loved my cousin more.

And now she is gone. No more conversations about what I am doing with my life. No more losing at scrabble against her. No more her. It is strange to think someone you have known your whole life is just gone. Forever. And as horrible as it was sometimes I will miss her. Next week I am going to her house for the funeral and I am pretty sure it will hit me much harder that she is not alive anymore. The only good thing really is that she is hopefully more at peace than she was at 97 years old. She lived her life and now it is time for her to move on.

So what else? Well I go back to uni now. Like literally now I am writing this as I travel 6 hours up country on the train. The first 40 minutes of the train was awful. My boyfriend once again dropped me off at the station to say goodbye. Again. I am so fed up of goodbyes. But hopefully he will be in Oxford next year. And he is coming up for my birthday soon.

Speaking of my birthday. On February 25th 2017 I am no longer a teenager as I turn 20. So what does that mean for this blog? I have no idea. I never thought I would be writing on here for this long. So what does Random Girl do when her blog is about being a teenager? Maybe I should start a new one. No idea what to call it though. And then I would have to start all over again. Or I could change the title? If anyone has any suggestions that would be great.

Maybe this year I will actually keep my promise to myself about writing more. So the countdown to the end of my teenage years in on. Let me know what you think.

Exams vs Writing

Hey guys! Oh my god it has been so long since I have posted anything. I missed my blog. For those of you who have still been reading thanks. I promised myself that I wouldn't post again until after exams are over. Unfortunately my last exam is one of the last in the country and I don't finish until the 19th June. But it was too long to be away and I was getting withdrawal symptoms. So here is a short post for now. I will make it up to you with more frequent posts than my weekly posts when exams are over.

Here is a little bit about what has been going on. Okay, I can't remember what I last told you but I think my last post was after Easter so I probably mentioned briefly my friends party and how I had boy drama. That is pretty much over. I will tell you the whole story soon. Other than that I have unfortunately spent most of my time revising. Exams Suck. I hate them and I hate revision. I am so bad at both. If I fail again I don't know what I am going to do. I can't wait until they are over. But once they are I will be saying goodbye to my friends who are leaving for uni and travelling. I don't know where I will be yet. I will let you guys know when I know.

The last thing I should probably mention is that I have been writing a teen fiction series and I am now on Wattpad. I know, I know. Bad timing with exams and all. I was going to wait but I was to impatient and you could probably tell. So I am @RandomGirl1302 on Wattpad so please check it out! I will put a link below with my first book. I have just finished the second one a few minutes ago and I will get to the last book in the Trilogy after exams. If I am patient enough to wait that is. Which I am probably not. Not going to lie.

Here is a description on what the first book is about,

Hope (The Gracewood Series) Book 1-

Amelia Hope James (or just Hope which she prefers) has always been in the limelight thanks to her movie star mother and her father the famous director, much to her dismay. Hope has lived her whole life under the shadow of her parents fame and knows just how fake the life of a celebrity can be. So when Hope gets sent to Gracewood Academy, one of the top boarding schools in the country, she finally has the chance to make a name for her self and see what life is like without having to deal the pressures of fame. 

However boarding school isn't exactly a walk in the park with the endless boy drama, a bitchy roommate, detentions, parties, a secret blogger who some how knows everything that goes on in Gracewood, and having to deal with the biggest issue of all. Keeping her identity a secret.

Here is the link-

Please Check it out and give me some feedback.

Anyway that's from me for now. I have to go and revise business studies :( exam is on Thursday. I will post to you guys about actual stories on what has been going on like boy drama, friend drama school drama and god knows what else soon, Not just these crappy updates I have been giving you guys lately. And remember summer is soon. And that means a lot more free time and interesting things to write about! Good luck for those of you who have exams!
