HELLO EVERYBODY!🥰 Oh my goodness, I have not posted in over a month!!😱 Can you believe that?! Honestly I thought it had only been a couple of weeks... turns out that the last time I posted was May!😬 But your girl is BACKKKK!!🤪 I cannot promise I’ll be posting regularly because you know what I’m like!! But if you want regular updates, keep watching my story!😌 So, my main reason for being absent is that I have really felt overwhelmed with all of the time that I now have! I have gone from working towards my exams literally all the time (I didn’t even realise how much time I spent working, but ask my parents - I did not stop!😂) to having NOTHINGGG to do! I thought I would finish my exams and have the urge to spend all of my time on Instagram, posting photos and updating you guys... that was not the case! I spent the first week feeling a bit low and unproductive! I felt guilty. I felt exactly how I felt when I had revision to do but I had gone out for the day!🥴 But I’m slowly getting there and finding things to do 😅 I have been applying to jobs but obviously, I’m not going to apply and hear back straight away because the applications haven’t closed yet!😂 I’m just taking it slowly, if I don’t get a job then I don’t! So yeah, it’s been difficult finding things to do!! I’ve been going to the gym with friends, I’ve been tidying my room, cleaning the house, and popping out to the shops every now and again! Today was a sadddd day, I took my camera to get repaired 🥺 Back in the Easter holidays, right before when I needed to do a shoot for my a-level photography exam work, my camera broke! The SD card port has broken. The camera will read SD cards but they don’t click and retract like they should do! My other camera, my little digital one which I use to film memories on holiday, has the same problem except this one says “card error” and does not read the card 🙁 My DSLR was my priority so we took that to Jessops today! We had to pay £25 to get it looked at, and that £25 will be included in the repair charges if we agree to get it repaired with them! Gonna go now haha, running out of characters!!💕
QOTP: What are your plans for this summer?🌞
RETURN OF THE FLOWERS FOR ONE POST ONLY... 🤪
-
I’m warning you guys, I have some photos coming up that are DIFFERENT! They are not buildings, landscapes, or flowers.... so take your guesses 🤷🏼♀️ I’m actually kind of nervous to post them looool 😂🤦🏼♀️ I was looking through my hard drive trying to find photos I hadn’t posted on here, and I found a whole load of photos that haven’t been uploaded, they’re the different ones!😂
-
So, a bit of context behind this photo, it’s from 2017... this was one of my GCSE Exam project photos!! I chose the project “detail” and looked at statues and flowers. Looking back, I really don’t know how I got the grade that I did because my project just didn’t flow... and my coursework, well 🥴 it was a bit of a mess, let me tell you! I took all of my portrait work out!! I love seeing you guys post portrait photography but they’re just not my cup of tea. In fact, they’re not even my cup of tea because I don’t like tea... so they’re not my cup of orange and pineapple squash 😂😭 I love seeing how creative you guys can make them, but I hate photographing portraits because 9 times out of 10, the other person doesn’t like the photo so I just feel a bit let down! Anyway, to my teacher’s disapproval, I took all of my portrait work out. Something must’ve worked because I got full marks on my exam and coursework, but it definitely was catastrophic!😂😂😂
-
Anyway, I am SOOOO HUNGRY. My stomach is growling hahaha 😂🤪 I’ve been doing my work all day but I really haven’t got that far!!!! So I’m gonna carry on till bed time (like I wasn’t going to anyway loool) because I’m out tomorrow and I need to make up the hours!😩😩
-
My family are having endless amounts of fun with this Burger King crown they brought back yesterday!😂🤦🏼♀️ It’s now the “question hat” so you aren’t allowed to ask a question unless you’re wearing the hat hahaha, I have it on now lmao 😩😂
-
So annoyed though, I just made a Little Britain reference and NOBODY LAUGHED!!! How have my family never watched Little Britain please??? It’s hilarious 😩
-
Signing off here, because I’m getting a bit rambly as per usual... sooo question today is... WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE TV SHOW?❤
HAPPY BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND!🥰
•
Today’s been a bit of an odd day! I haven’t felt my best because I literally have no motivation to do anything. Then, because I have no motivation, I’m worrying!😰 -
I’ve tried doing some psychology and some English, but it all just feels like I’m not achieving anything 😬 I have the motivation inside me somewhere, but it’s just not coming up to the surface!! I’m hoping tomorrow I feel a lot more motivated than I do now!🤪
-
I’ve been playing sims this weekend, not lots, but whenever I have the free time! I’ve been rebuilding my house and now it’s hugeeee!!😄😄 thanks motherlode 😛 -
I’m back in school on Tuesday for the day for English revision, fun fun fun... I’m kinda just ready to finish now!! I want the freedom! I want to get a job, learn to drive, have all the time in the world!😩
-
Otherwise, my plans for this week are pretty much non-existent! I’m going for a meal (and drinks 😂🤪) on Thursday evening so that should be funnnn 😌 Other than that, it’s probably just gonna be getting school work done!😩 3 MORE EXAMS TO GO!🎉 I genuinely feel so bad for the people that have like 6 exams left... I guess I fell lucky picking photography A-level! I may or may not have found out my marks 👀 Our marks got uploaded onto the parent portal!! I’m not gonna say because I really don’t want to jinx anything, but if it’s correct, I am VERY VERY VERY HAPPY 😜😜 I really hope the hard work was worth it!🤞🏼
-
I hope you guys have a restful week! Take some time for yourself, go out and explore new places, see friends, enjoy time with family, and I was going to say enjoy the sun too, but the weather isn’t looking up for this week!😰
-
Okay, I feel like we don’t give ourselves enough credit in general. So, comment below YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT! Can be recent, can be a while ago, and it doesn’t have to be huge, it may be something so little that you’re proud of yourself for ❤️ Whenever I ask people to comment nice things about themselves, nobody does!😩 So please, have a think about what you’re proud of yourself for 🥰
📍STRATFORD-UPON-AVON •
Throwback to the summer!😜 I have a few odd pictures from different places that I haven’t got round to posting... I haven’t posted many of my photos from Edinburgh... whaaaattt?!?! They will be coming soon.. don’t worry!😄
•
I’ve literally just been doing work today. I’m half way through Attachment!🤪 I have all day Tuesday and Wednesday (as well as Friday looool) now free! So I have 3 full days to get on with some well-needed work!👍🏼 Tomorrow I plan to finish off Attachment and then do some exam questions... maybe from memory 😅 (wish me luck ahh!) •
Anyway, this photo is from when I went to Stratford-upon-Avon in the summer with some friends - we had the BEST time!🤩 The weather was to die for!! We went on a canal boat ride down the river Avon and then sat down by the river and had a picnic 😍 I loveeee picnics so much! Unfortunately, my family (well, my dad) hate them so we never get to have them anymore!☹️ When I was younger and it was raining (before my brother was born haha) me and my mom would sit in the living room, put the blanket out, and have a picnic!🙈 •
So if you’re ever stuck for somewhere to go, definitely visit Stratford-upon-Avon!! There are so many things to look at relating to Shakespeare (he was born in Stratford), have a ride along the river on a canal boat (or hire a rowing boat if you’re more physical!😂😭), and if you really want to... visit the butterfly farm! I’m a little frightened of flying creatures, but you can get some wonderful pictures in there!🦋🐛 Also, there’s a really nice chip shop near to the theatre and the river... we always get chips from there whenever we go!😍😍 It’s a place my parents have taken us quite a bit over the years, so whenever anybody asks for recommendations of places to visit in the West Midlands, I always say Stratford!😄

QOTP: What’s your favourite animal?!🐨
I love how there are NO people in this picture... such a rarity!😂
•
I don’t know how much I can type because I’m a little stressed and tired atm because I cannot find my psychopathology notes!😂 I mean, I shouldn’t be laughing but if I don’t I’m going to have a full on breakdown soooo 🤷🏼♀️ (update: I typed this about 10 minutes ago and I’ve since found them lol)
•
The problem is, I have things everywhere! I take notes out my folder to take to school, end up putting them in some random folder (sometimes my English notes end up in with psychology) so they don’t get creased or ruined! •
They’re not good notes anyway, but it’s a bit of an issue because I currently have nothing for psychopathology 🙂🙂🙂 •
Thank you for all of your feedback and discussing accents with me! I am honestly bemused!😂 I just don’t GET IT! I sound so so so different to people who live the other side of my town, I sound different to people who live in Birmingham... I am confused!😂 Why is it that when people learn a new word, they pronounce it in their way rather than copying how the other person is saying it?? Okay I’m going a little mad talking about accents!!😂😂 •
The accent of the part of the West Midlands I’m from is much different from a Birmingham accent. We pronounce our words differently! For example, people on the other side of Birmingham pronounce laugh as “larf” rather than how I say it!😂 Yet we’re not many miles away!! And how do accents form? Who all of a sudden decided “no, I do not want to say barth or larf, I am going to say baff and laff”?!?! 😂😂
•
I’m going a teeeennny bit mad. This caption is so so random, oh my goodness!😂 What I want to know is... WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE ACCENT?🤷🏼♀️ If I could change my accent, I would probably just have a normal standard English, but not as posh as the queen!😂 Yorkshire accents are very pleasant to listen to too!! Sometimes when I’m talking to myself, I talk to myself in various different British accents 😩😂 OKAY I AM GOING MAD. I need to stop.
—- QOTP: what’s YOUR favourite accent?❤️
I found this picture of the Sacré-Cœur from when I went to Paris last year!🇫🇷 Cannot believe I forgot to post this one as it was one of my faves from the trip!😄
•
How are we all?? I’m not gonna lie, I’ve felt stressed all day and I hate it!🥴 I have lost my appetite and it’s so strange!! I’m absolutely dreading going back to school tomorrow... getting up at 20 past 6!🥵 I don’t know how I’ll do it!😂😂 My sleeping pattern has messed up, so I think I’m going to stop my school work half an hour earlier today so that I can go to sleep earlier!😂
•
If I’m honest, I just want to skip straight past my exams and go to uni!😂 This whole exam and testing system in the UK is so corrupt, it’s unreal 🤦🏼♀️
•
On the other hand, my brother has been complaining about being bored allllll day!! He’s in year 9 so tbh he has a reason to be bored!😂 He’s resorted to LISTENING TO FOOTBALL CHANTS and it’s doing my absolute head in!! He and my dad have season tickets so I just don’t understand why he would want to sit there listening to crowds of people sing abuse about one another 🤷🏼♀️ I’m too much of a pacifist hahah 😂
•
Anyway, that made me realise that I genuinely haven’t had much time to do anything all holiday!! Back in the day (like year 8/9 lol) I would get so bored in the holiday if we didn’t go out anywhere because I would have “nothing to do”, and this holiday, I have left the house about 4 times!!😂😂 in 17 days of holiday, I’ve been at school for 3 of them and I’ve been out for 4... the rest I have spent at home 😩 •
Anyway, I don’t really have anything to say other than the fact that I’m back at school tomorrow and I have a mock exam (ahhh) 😬😬😬 Pray for me!!😭 I’m going to sit and have a break for a bit because I think I need it loool
QOTP: Where is the place in the world that you’d like to visit the most?!🌎✈️
I wish the weather was as beautiful as it was last weekend!😭😍
•
I took this photo on Sunday when on my final shoot for my A-level exam project: parts and sections 📸 I’m not using this photo as I don’t think it’s zoomed in enough, even though I have focused on a section of St Philip’s Cathedral!🤷🏼♀️
•
This cathedral can be found in an area in Birmingham called Pigeon Park. I do not recommend going on a Saturday because it’s where the local thugs and druggies like to meet up!😩😂 I am thinking of doing a post sharing my favourite places to photograph in Birmingham in the summer! Believe it or not, even though Birmingham is one of my local towns/cities, I haven’t really explored it too much!😂 •
This morning, I faced my fears and I went to the hairdressers!! My mom actually thinks I have a mild phobia of going to the hairdressers, but after spending a long time in psychology learning about mental illnesses, I don’t think I actually do! I think I’m just scared of them cutting too much hair off!!😂😂 The lady was so nice and I think she could tell that I was terrified of having too much hair cut off (it’s my comfort shield lol) so she cut barely anything off, just the dead ends! It took longer to comb my hair out than to have it cut!!😂😂
•
We went to the tip to dump all of my brother’s Thomas the tank engine toys (he’s 14 and probably hasn’t touched them since he was about 6 😂😂😂) they’ve just been in a storage box for years so they may as well have gone!😂
•
My great auntie and uncle got me a BIRTHDAY CAKE!🤤😍 I haven’t had my own personalised birthday cake before, so I’m utterly obsessed. I don’t want to eat it!!😍😍
•
On the way back, we went to collect my photobook!!🤪 It could’ve turned out better but it’s really not that bad! The only thing that’s bugging me is that the font is different on one of the pages, but the examiner won’t notice hopefully!😂🤞🏼
•
I’m in such a good mood!! I’m gonna have my tea (DINNER FOR ANY OF YOU THAT LIVE IN THE SOUTH) then put my pyjamas on, and actually get on with some work!😬😬
QOTP: WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?!💗
