Funny Faces.


Ok. Before you all think I'm bizarre or strange, this is a photograph from my photography lessons. We have the Mac computers, that can make strange effects with photographs that you take. Honestly, this is the funniest thing ever. I think the photograph effect above is called 'Stretch', which obviously stretches the picture. I am the one on the left by the way.
But, to make the experience more fun, I am on the right in the picture below.

Exam Time.


So this is the start of the exam season for us teens. Stress, revision and constant texts of 'Have you revised?' are my main social talking points for the next few weeks. Luckily though, I don't have that many exams. Two to be exact.
The worst time that completely beats exams is exam result pick up day. I don't care who you are, or how little revision you have done, or even the casual shrug of 'I'm not bothered anyway mate'. Every single person in that room, at that time has a unusually high heartbeat and shakes with nervousness when you get that envelope. Whether you pass or fail is totally up to you. I have been there my friend. That is why I am 'uber revising' now and trying to get good grades this summer. And to top it off, results day as it is called, is two days before my birthday. Two days. Another reason to get the best grades I can, so I'm not weeping into my birthday cake this year.

Starting Line.

Ok. So now I officially have my blog. It always seems so difficult to start something, like writing an introduction to a school essay, or say anything interesting in an 'ice breaker' for example, because you want the start to be interesting and fun. I will try and do that. I promise.
Talking of 'ice breakers', that always seems to be the most common thing that happens when you start something new. Like starting a new school, or a job interview. Its nerve racking; because you want to make a good impression or make people like you. They're kind of the same thing - but I always get embarrassed in those situations. The way that people see you depends on that first impression, and it could potentially be what they relate you to in the future. I always try to say something funny and witty, but it always ends up awkward, with everyone looking at me in a puzzled way.
I suppose this is exactly what I have done here. I apologise. I will do better next time, now I have 'broken the ice' as they say.
