Dear September

Dear September,

This month brings a whole new line up of exciting and scary things for me to try out! I can't believe it is September already, it feels like it should still be June when I finished school. This summer has been the best summer and I can't believe it has ended so quickly!

However, I am starting a new college, a new lifestyle completely. New lessons, new people, new friends, new routine. I am kind of looking forward to it, but at the same time, I really would just like to go back to school for a bit because it is all I know. This amount of freedom will be, and is, completely new to me and it panics me slightly. A lot of my friends are coming with me to my college, but a large amount is also going to the other college, which will be a very different and scary experience, after seeing them every day for years. For example, Anna and Jemima are going to the other college, which is so sad! However, lots of my friends are joining me at my college and I can't wait to start learning about the subjects I have chosen and have an interest in!

I also hope that this month will be a good month for me as I have recently got a job and although I haven't started yet, I hope I enjoy it as much as I think I will!

I think that September and the start of autumn will have so good photo opportunities as the colours change in the trees and the weather gets worse or better.

Thanks, August, hello September!

Stay happy,
Katie xx

August Sum-Up 2016

It feels like I haven't written anything in quite a while, even though I have been keeping up with my posts on Through Our Eyes. I got back from holiday in Greece and was prepared to write for a few days. As I sat down to do this, every single thought disappeared from my mind. I had no inspiration to write anything, no ideas of what to post and in the end, I came to the conclusion that actually, I didn't want to put rubbish content up on my blog, so I stopped writing and gave myself a bit of a 'blogging holiday'. You may or may not be happy to know that I am back now for a while and although I have still not got any ideas, I will try my hardest to keep to some sort of schedule. This will mean, as my A level workload gets bigger, the posts are not going to be every two days as before, but will be three times a week, Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. I will carry on over on Through Our Eyes, with posts up every Monday as usual. This means I should be able to stay on track, hopefully.
Anyway, onto my month's sum-up! Which is also going to change because the questions are getting repetitive!)

Anything Exciting This Month?
This month has been such a good month, seeing my family and friends, holidays and of course, the dreaded GCSE results, which weren't as dreaded as I thought they may be. After coming out with 5 Cs, 5 Bs, 1 A and a Distinction Star in IT, I was so happy I managed to pass everything, even my Science! This month has meant I can now go to the college I want to go to and do the courses I want to do, taking one step forward into the career and life I want to lead.


Worries This Month?
Obviously getting into college and getting the results I wanted, which I did, so it isn't a worry anymore! Also, college in general, the transport (which is a large sum of money per year) and making friends in general. Also, another worry has been my blog. Because of my giant mind-block, I have been worrying about it a lot!

Any photos you like?
Well of course!

Something you have learnt this month?
That I don't need to dress up and wear makeup every day to impress others. Also, friends are so important for your happiness. Without them, I know I wouldn't be the person I am today.

I hope this gave you a bit of an insight into my month but I'll be back again before you know it!

Stay happy,
Katie xx
