End of Year... nearly make over

Ok so I know it isn't quite the end of the year, yet, I mean come on it's only May! but in less than 4 weeks time I will be starting my final year at school (scary I know) Year 13 here we come... a year full of fun, frivolity, essays, exams, choreography, revised dramatic pieces, more essays, revision plans, and a UCAS form on the side... did I mention essays?

Yeah, just less than 4 short weeks till my A.S levels are over, and I'm making decisions that probably decide my future career path, my word I've come a long way since I was sat in that drama studio revision session, dripping wet at my now former school. I've changed so much in ways I recognize, and some that I probably don't. You know, changed schools, got a haircut, that sort of shiz!

Right now I'm currently on study leave, supposedly revising 6 hours a day, and locking myself in chains in my room, writing 50 timed essays a day (ha.)
In reality I have had 2 of the most chilled days ever (including a general studies exam (easy as a lemon... mouse). Full of sunshine, smiley people, picnics, spotify, "tunage"! no realy, I've had a lot of fun, the revision starts tomorrow, I think I just needed a few days to chill out having just broken up, I have 5 exams left, dance theory, drama theory, 2 R.S exams (philosophy and ethics) and sociology) the hard ones are after half term, so I have a 2 week gap after this in which to practice and revise for those.

In the foreseeable future, I've got quite an exciting summer planned after we officially break up in July, kicking of with Soul Survivor on the 30th July, Ending with.... wait for it..... A sky dive with my friend Eleni check out her blog here ( ). We wanted to dress up as pirates and thus be sky pirates, but we actually have to wear a jump suit, you can sponsor us at www.justgiving.com/Vicki-Hesketh, we are doing it for 2 children's hospitals that mean alot to us. Then finally a trip to liverpool with my 3 favorite girls, to see Hairspray, I got my friend tickets for her 18th Birthday, this should be extreme fun, we have 4th row tickets so it should be brilliant!

I'm planning a blog makeover, as part of my summer changing thing, a wardrobe makeover, and I'm learning to drive in summer (if things go to plan) so watch this space!

Long time no post :S

Life's been pretty hectic up till now. with Drama work galore, the odd sociology essay, more performances than I've done in the last year (both dance and drama). and then some helpful person reminded me that it is in fact only 8 weeks till exams (ARGH). Luckily drama supporting notes are done. Finito on friday! YEAH! and we have our practical exam next wednesday, I can't wait to get it over and done with. I was given a rubbish play called Effie's Burning, in which I play a 64 year old mental patient with the mind of a ten year old... sigh. How this fits in with stanislavski realism I have no idea, since clearly I'm not and elderly woman, infact I am a very young woman... ah well.

Outside of school I pretty much have no life. At least it feels that way at the moment. I'm rehearsing for the brewery dance platform next wednesday! Also I'm incredibly exited for the trip to London next thursday (which is organised by school but doesn't really count). Only a week till the easter holidays now, which is a blessed relief!

Yesterday I went to my primary school placement, (an extra day), and helped clean the school all after the entire school had spent the day making a grand total of 340 pizza's. This was followed by going to church and helping even more people make even more pizza's. The total at the moment stands at 550 - there are still more to be counted. Pizza sauce stinks.
That said I really enjoyed myself, the kids were lovely, the pizza's tasty (once cooked) and I hope my school wins, for my friend who organised the whole event!

Other exiting things I have done since Jan
  • Went to see Matthew Bournes Swan Lake! which was amazing, really funny aswell which I wasn't expecting!
  • Went to visit people in Yorkshire, this was good. I miss them all!
  • Got new furniture for my room. big big wardrobe. and matching drawers. got rid of old unmatching furniture. my room feels much bigger
  • Totally wooped people on Mario Kart wii. this is momentous, as until recently I was TRAP with a capital C

Anyhows Aloha for Now

Reasons why I like Bananas

  1. Bananas are yellow, and yellow is a happy colour.
  2. Bananas are a slow releasing energy food. this means that If I eat one before dance, I shouldn't run out of energy too quickly!
  3. I like the taste
  4. They can be made into smoothies! my favourite is a smoothie made of banana, mango, and orange juice!
  5. 2 words, Banana Split!
  6. The Word "Banan" is arabic for "finger"! :D
  7. They are a brilliant comfort food.
  8. Potassium based goodness! I've also heard that potassium can help prevent cancer?
  9. Bananas are rich in iron, so all you people with low iron levels! go yellow!
  10. Banana smoothies, sweetened with honey, are a brilliant hangover cure
  11. According to some, banana skin, can be used to cure wart!
  12. They have no fat, no cholesteral and no sodium!
  13. In 2001, there were almost 300 banana related accidents in the UK, most of these were involved with slipping on the skins... wooops!
  14. Bananas grow on not a tree, but the worlds largest herb, a distant cousin of ginger, and tumeric, although it is botanically classified as a berry
  15. Bananas are proved to make you feel HAPPY! They contain tryptophan, a chemical which the boy turns into seratonin, known to make you relax, improve, and generally make you HAPPY!
  16. They come with the best type of packaging! their own, its enviromentally friendly, biodegradable, and made to measure!

Happy New Year!

Just a brief happy new year, before I get on with writing my bananas part 2! (exiting stuff ladies and gentlemen!)

Best of luck with all your new years resolutions, and congratulations on making it to brand spanking new decade, this is the second I've seen in so far, admittedly I was only 7 at the beginning of the millenium but still...

I beg to differ

Personally I think limes taste better, but as a lime you won't get eaten!

"Half past 12 and I'm watching the late show"

Ah! its been a while, and it seems that I'm procrastinating again! tsch, I really should be doing that essay that is due in first period this morning. Instead it is half and hour past midnight, and I am really not that focused
I'm listening to the Mamma Mia! soundtrack and rather enjoying the feeling of order that has slightly overtaken my room, admittedly it is not yet tidy, but still, I feel that I have made a valuable contribution to its overall mess-less-ness. in sorting out folders and cupboards and that dreaded hiding place under the bed!
Since June many many things have changed. Firstly and most significantly I have started my A levels at QKS (brand new school, although it already feels like I have been there years". I have found that I am rather enjoying the somewhat messy start I have achieved at QKS, although I just about catching up with myself. I have been extremely busy recently and it feels like I have stopped and the world has carried on without me, all the way to christmas which is now just a week away, I must be THE most unprepared person on the planet having not even started thinking about christmas shopping yet, (although we got the tree up early this year!). With my first exam next term, I'm not particularly looking forward to next term, I am however extremely grateful for the holidays being just days away. Feelins slightly robbed though, as it turns out I am working almost everyday :( with just tuesday and christmas day of in the first week, and no double pay! (although the fact that I love my job makes up for this slightly).While we mention it, there is change number 2, I am now employed! I now work in Jessops, selling people cameras and learning about something I am genuinly interested in :D

On that not, I had better get back to something else I am genuinly interested (HA.) and write this damned essay!

Aloha goodbye :D
