Hello, just a bit of a catch up post as I mentioned in this post. :)
**I meant to post this last night, but it took me a while
and then I got a bit too tired, so tonight it is! **

(No joke, this is very similar to the scene in my room for the last week)
001. Eight hours and fifty minutes. That is the amount of time I have spent in exams this week. I've only had seven exams which isn't actually too bad compared to some people but still. It has drained so much energy out of me. I know that sounds melodramatic, but it really has. I'm so tired. However, something good to come out of this exam riddled week is that I now know why revision is supposed to be done over a period of time, not one night. It just doesn't fit. I've had two maths exams, two hours each. Two french, one for an hour and one lasting fifty mins. A philosophy and ethics for an hour. Sociology for an hour and then ICT for an hour and a half. Maths didn't go so well in my opinion, but I never thought it was going to. I think sociology and philosophy and ethics definitely went well and my french along with ICT went okay. At the end of the day, these ones are only mocks. If we don't do as well as we expect/want then it isn't the end of the world. There's no point getting too worked up over these because it wont help us, it will probably end up being a hindrance. I am nervous for the results though, for two reasons. Firstly, because we get some real-counting exam results back at the same time and last time I got results I wasn't very well. I think it was a mix of nerves and actually being ill, but it wasn't nice. So i guess I'm nervous about getting nervous.. and the results of course. But they're over now, nothing more I can do and I'm happy with the effort I put in so there's no point dwelling now.

002. It doesn't feel like Christmas yet. I suppose that's because in my household it isn't. We have a rule you see. 'It's not Christmas until after my dads birthday', which is Sunday, so I guess it's close. I have a busy weekend. I mean super busy. Saturday, family is round and I also need to manage to sneak out to buy my dad a card (unprepared) and tidy my disgracefully messy room. Sunday, I have a netball party thing, it's okay I checked with my dad if I could go, knowing it was on his birthday. But it was all good because we're doing something when my brother gets home from uni in a weeks time. Then it really will be Christmas because we are waiting to decorate the tree (yet to be bought) until he's home. I love decorating the tree, one of my favourite parts of Christmas. I've digressed, I didn't even notice, basically netball party thing and have to write two essays. eugh to the essays.
003. I know everyone and their mothers are talking about it, but I want my say too. Yep, I'm on about X Factor final. *eeep*. I think it will be close between Matt Cardle and Rebecca Ferguson. I love all the finalists but I felt so sorry for Mary Byrne, I really liked some of the performances she gave. I was hitting the replay button way too much on her performances of This is a man's world and You don't have to say you love me. They say it isn't an age thing but to be honest I think it is a little bit, I'm not saying I agree with it, but it is. I hope Mary gets a record deal, she deserves it in my opinion. I honestly think all the finalists will get deals. Cher Lloyd because she's different to anything we've got around at the moment (Her version of the Shakespeare's Sisters 'Stay' was amazing!), One Direction because of the attention/frenzy they get and they can sing as well. I think sometimes people just like them because they are good looking, when it also needs to be recognised that they're actually good singers too. Matt and Rebecca, they are both good enough for a deal. Good luck to all of them, they've all worked hard and so whoever wins it, will be deserving I think. I think Rebecca & Christina Aguilara will sing I am beautiful, Matt and Rihanna will sing Take a bow and I don't know about the others. But there the ones i'm hoping to hear! Roll on seven o'Clock.
Who do you think/want to win?
Well done and thank you if you managed to reach the end. I do appreciate anyone and everyone who takes the time to read what I write, It does mean a lot.
Hope you all have fantastic weekends! :)
Love Victoria xo
