A Bit About Me!

MEMEMEMEMEME!!

I thought i'd write a bit about me, so you can put a personality to blog, so to speak.

So, me....what can I say?

Well, i'm a 17 year old girl from England, I'm currently embarking on my AS levels in sixth form, and my journey to university is underway.

I've trawled through so many university websites, and initially had a list of about 30 i wanted to visit!

I eventually managed to narrow it down but still ended up ordering about 20 prospectuses! From there, i've managed to narrow it down slightly more and am planning to visit a few open days; I went to Hertfordshire university yesterday, but it didn't inspire me all that much, i'm also planning to look at Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham, Aston, Reading, Leeds, Nottingham, Portsmouth, Exeter, Plymouth and possibly Kent - that's my (quite long) shortlist. Hopefully from that i'll be able to narrow it down to 5!

I'm planning to study psychology or paleontology, it's a tough choice as i've been fascinated with both from such a young age, hopefully i'll be able to make a decision soon though.

Anyway, enough about uni hunting, i've just started trying to write my personal statement (i'm way ahead of schedule, i know) and i need a break from it all, i don't even get my predicted grades for year 12 until next week, let alone year 13!

I suppose the first thing to say is...I love penguins, I mean, who doesn't? Especially emperor penguins - when those fluffy chicks poke their heads out..just...awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!

I'm also an Explorer scout, and I love it, we do so much cool stuff, this week, we're getting all DIY and making wood burning stoves out of old coathangers and GIANT baked bean tins, then we'll be cooking on them. :) Other stuff we've done includes: murder mystery, swimming, camps, problem solving, balloon cars, cardbard castles, which was basically a big water fight in the woods - we had to protect ourselves in forts made out of boxes. They say Explorers are just big beavers. :') There's also a summer camp every year, I only joined last june so this will be my first one - so excited! :D

I also enjoy reading when I can find the time, and I love swimming, but I am literally THE WORST swimmer in history. Eating is a pretty good hobby of mine too haha :P

Oh, and I got a new camera last summer for the Olympics and my trip to New York last month - I really enjoy photography, here's some of my photos:

 

I'm quite proud of those.

Anyway, I should probably get going, I have a biology ISA next week and it's my last chance, if i can ace this, it'll take some pressure off from the exams in the summer. Plus i want to watch Miranda tonight - SUCH FUN!

If there's anything you guys want me to blog about (i realise revision and my random pictures may get a bit dull), just comment and let me know! :)

There are 10 types of people in the world - those who can read binary and those who can't.

Alons-y! x
