10 'Best Things' of 2009

This I think has been a really good year which and these arn't only the best things but the things I am proud of and really happy with. (These are not in order of best to OK).

1). Getting my GCSE Exam result and how good they were as I really didn't think that they were going to be good at all.

2). Finishing High School and Starting College as not staying in 6th form I now know was a really good idea to get away and start in a new place.

3). Youth Weekend away with my church youth club going to the beach everyday and on the last going early swimming, very cold but lovely and refreshing.

4).Just hanging out with my friends in the summer. It was good just because I didn't do much this summer and just going out with friends was really good and didn't really do before.

5). Getting Guitar Hero for my birthday and playing it on my brothers Xbox 360, Best game I have ever got.

6). Wow on the Water Front during the summer - wasn't really good while I was there but thinking back at it, it was brilliant.

7).Going to my old church BBQ - just seeing old friends and going to around what seemed to

the secret garden and topping it of having really really nice weather.

8)Having my High School Prom and wearing a tuxedo which I couldn't breath in, having really good food at the Hilton and having a good time just in all.

9). Applying for jobs, haven't got any but it was just a really good experience to do it.

10). Having a lot more freedom this year, going into town a lot on my own and going into Cardiff Bay just new experiences.

Have a really happy new year and hope you have an even more better year in 2010.

What I've Missed.

Throughout the time I have had off school since finishing my GCSE Exams and now waiting for them, I have had a lot of time to think and some of this thinking has come to good use, some has come to bad and some has really actually made me ill giving me panic attracts (seriously). But one thing I have realised is when I have been doing things I don't normally do.
I watched HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 (note that the font is smaller because of my shame)

Watching High School Musical 3 it was like putting myself in their shoes as technically in the film they were going through the same thing as me, leaving school and deciding what to do next in the future. The thing I found out watching it is that even through it is a film and half the things in it would never happen in real life they were making the most of there last days of high school and the conclusion I came to is that my last days of St Teilos were CRAP.

I instantly thought that leaving school would be great to get away from all the bullies in my school. But the one thing I forgot was to be happy and sad about the very good friends I was leaving even the people who weren't really my best friends I was going to miss. Today I saw two of my friends, and even through it has only been a couple of weeks ago I had only seen them it really seemed like a really long time. Talking to them, they had done so much since leaving school, working getting paid £200 a week.

Since thinking like this during the final weeks of school and getting work done last minute and missing out on quality time with my friends (even through half of them thought they would have a couple of extra weeks off not coming in), I missed the last time I would be with friends. But coming to think about it even if I was to spent time with my friends during the last weeks I would feel most likely the same as I do now. I think meeting friends outside school now which I would not see now will feel really weird.

One thing I think I need to do is get in contact with people I would not normally get in contact with just to see them a final time. If I do, do that I would need t think of a place in Cardiff to go and I don't think my other friends would like the Museum as my best friends as it is the only place to go which is free.

Offically left, Good Bye and Hello.

Friday the 19th of June I had my last GCSE Exam (physics) but I did think of me leaving High School until the Prom which was on Wednes day the 24th. All dressed up in a Tuxedon (couldn't breath in it) and the prom being held at the Hilton Hotel. And after a night at the Hilton eating a stupidly over presented food which was lovely, having a few dances, judging people by there dresses and suits and also seeing teachers getting drunk, I now pronounce mysel offically left school.

In result, I don't need to put up with;
Siting through a boring lesson of English
Having attend 5 lessons a day
Put up with putting on a happy face to the teachers pretending I like them but not.
No need to wear uniform
and a lot more things.

Althrough there is always somethings you will miss when you leave somewhere.
I will miss seeing some of my other friends in younger years, also the occassional subject of Art and Miss Anderson and the funny times we had. Also leaving school togo over my friends house to play some games during lunch time but also the community of friends I had.

There are always down sides to things but there is I really hope good things to come going to St Davids College with a few friends but also meet new people and experience ne things there.

See you later St Teilos
Watch out St Daivds here I come.

The Count Down Begun

Enjoying the relaxation of doing nothing in the half term holidays and forget to do Coursework (big mistake) I was faced with the reality that I have only 9 school weeks left until exams and finishing high school, 27 lessons left of each subject. It is a big eye opener as Course Work has to be done and revision every night and that my next steps are dependent on my results in my GCSE's (also doesn't help that teachers keep on telling you this ANNOYING)

But whatever I do I will have something to do after school. But not suprising there is a whole load of other things to do around my school stuff and what people always says that there is not enough hours in the day is so true. Some advice from well known experiences;

1. Do not leave things till last minute
2. Always have a backup plan if anything goes wrong (i.e. an Excuss)
3. Plan ahead before tackeling something.

You have most likley heard these things before but in all truth take them on board.
