Time Seems To Be Flying Past Again...

So now everything's all packed. Even my cacti. I ended up using an extra crate, and it's going to be couriered today. I'm not going to lie: I'm rather excited about this move. However, I'm exceedingly nervous. This is just incredibly crazy and has happened so suddenly, and now time just seems to be whizzing by. When will it slow down?...

The 2012 London Olympics started on Friday. The opening event wasn't to bad actually, and I loved Her Majesty entering with James Bond! I wanted to watch more of the actual events, especially the fencing, but my mum's not so keen on the Olympics. I've just had a call from Tamsin, and she says that apparently, we've won gold in the rowing. So get us! Shame the official outfits for the UK make the athletes look like they're in spacesuits. Well, you can't have everything!

I thought I'd put a picture of Paddy up. My gran and grandpa had gone up north to visit family this weekend, and left us Paddy to look after! Bless him, he slept with me last night, which is awkward in a single bed! Basically, I thought he looked so cute after messing up Skip's bed, that I thought it was the perfect picture to put up!

My Life In Boxes...

So I've been packing ready for the official move to Hastings! Five crates, my wooden box, my bergen and my footstool, which isn't in the picture! Oh, and a couple of large sheets of stickers. I'll be taking a suitcase and a black rucksack on the train with me. So in theory, my life is now packed away in boxes, ready for a fresh start. This is just completely and utterly crazy. Plus, my dog knows something's up, because I've packed my bergen, and that's only happened when I've gone on cadet camps. So I'll have to explain to him.
I have a crate full of shoes, a crate full of my Hello Kitty collection, a crate of winter clothes, a crate full of posh evening dresses and jackets, and a crate full of general stuff. My bergen has four A4 sized boxes in, also full of stuff. It also has the side pockets. My suitcase will be full of normal day-to-day clothes and underwear, and shoes, and stuff like that. Oh, and Harry of course. My black rucksack will have my bedding and towels and stuff like that in. So yeah, a lot of stuff!
I do wonder how much of it I'll fit into my room! I mean, I love my room of awesomeness, but my crates are full! I don't even know how all of the stuff came out of my room to be totally honest. It's a scary amount! It's a lot of home-warming stuff though. I mean, I'm moving out for the first time, and I want a little bit of my stuff hanging around in the new room!

Climbing Up The Family Tree!

Today was quite good actually. For the past month, Grandpa's been getting me to write up notes for this family do. Basically, one of his cousins, and his cousin's daughter, were doing one of those family history searches, and came across us. So today, we went along to a rather nice hotel in Weymouth, had lunch together, and watched a slide show of ancient family pictures. I mean, the black and white, 1920's style photos, but for real! I got to see a few people I haven't seen in about seven years, but also got to meet some interesting new people too! One guy, it turns out, works in the UN and travels the world. I mentioned I was thinking about being a translator for the UN, and it went from there! He was fascinating! 
There were seven of us, including me, from the close family that went. I think there were about twenty of us altogether in the end! The old photographs certainly explain where my facial complexion and features come from! 
I wanted a small pudding with lunch. Then I saw my cousin Oscar's pudding, and just had to have one. It's so adorable!

The Conditional Offer Is...

So, I've had a mad day! Today was my interview for Sussex Coast College. It was supposed to be at 14:30, but they saw me 40 minutes early! Well, my offer so far stands at:
AS English Language, AS French, AS Classics & AS Politics. However, because I explained I wanted to be a translator, the guy that interviewed me said we could speak to the Spanish teacher and see if I could fit it in AS WELL! I may have to do GCSE Spanish again, but at a secondary school, or I might get AS Spanish with extra tuition. Either way, it's a high possibility that I'll get five subjects this year! The only sad thing is, they might not have enough intake for Classics, so I might have to do a History instead. I'll live! New room, new place, new college, new people, different hair-do. This is going to be completely crazy!

Oh, and just to say, I got my interview on iblog4.me today! Get me!

It's something UNPREDICTABLE,
But in the end is right:
I hope you've had the
TIME OF YOUR LIFE!

The Olympic Torch In Hastings!

I suppose this will only happen once in my lifetime. In the UK anyway. The torchbearer is called Lana-Emily Foyle, and here's a picture of the Olympic Torch going through Hastings!

The Room Of Awesomeness!

So here's a few photos of my new room of awesomeness! I've been decorating it up the last couple of days, but I have a few things still left to move up from Sidmouth!

The New Laptopamabob!

 Considering I'll be moving away shortly, and maybe going to university in a couple of years, me and mum thought it would be an idea to get me my own laptop! Well, it's an Amber-sized laptop, as it's a netbook. I love it already though! I'm waiting for the case and the 2GB RAM to turn up, but after that, it'll be perfect! It's bloody good as it is now though. I've also had to order an external CD and DVD player, because I can't load Microsoft Office on here, which I'll need for college. Plus, I've had to upload ALL my music to my Google drive, and I'll have to install ALL my fancy fonts again. Joy.

Today, I also filled up a storage box with my Hello Kitty Collection, a box with my shoes and a box with my Winter clothes. I've also got four posters rolled up together in a poster tube. I can't wait! Sussex bring it on!

So It Looks Like Something's Happening...

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

So, my life's just got crazier: I've applied to redo this year at Sussex Coast College Hastings, and this morning, I received an interview letter! Sussex here Amber comes! They don't do GCSE Spanish, so it looks like I'll be going for Politics instead. I might try for AS Spanish considering I technically did the GCSE last year, but I didn't do the exam, so I'm not holding up hope. So this is it, I'm moving to a distant place where no-one knows me, for a completely fresh start. I can't wait for this interview...  WHICH IS ONLY NEXT WEEK!

Like A Virgin - Madonna

I had my MRI scan yesterday. We're gonna have to wait for my results. If it was anything too bad, they would've seen in the CT scan I had in Hastings. So now the waiting part.
Now onto the video. I find this song a terrible earworm.  Me and my mum often watch the vintage music channel, with all the naff songs from around the 70's and 80's. When I hear this one though, I find myself humming the tune for days, but don't ask me why. I've heard a lot worse, I've heard a lot better. However, I have never had such a long standing earworm tune like this. So I thought I'd share it with the world, and inflict everyone else to the earworm tune I will be humming inappropriately for perhaps the next week! Muahahaha!

POODLE POWER!

Well, I haven't had my hair permed since last June, so I felt like a change. It actually makes my hair thicker, and this time, I went to a different hairdressers, so I have tighter curls. Even my ear tufts are curly! I somewhat resemble a poodle at the moment, but it's growing on me. I'm getting to like it. I might keep it like this for a while. Every two months, I'd put myself through the torture of people pulling my hair so tight that it's unbearable. On the other hand, I really like it! Someone please tell me that I do actually look okay?

Rebel, rebel:
Your hair's alright!

Toy Camp: Travellers Welcome!

Yes, my mother is crazy. I came home from my adventures, only to find my teddies having a camp, with a sign beside saying 'Toy Camp, Travellers Welcome'. I mean, how old am I? Apparently, Harry Hippo had flown in and told them about the adventures, and they wanted to camp, but my mum said they couldn't have a fire in my room! I found Stephen Stingray in a little hanging decoration, Alex Bear was wearing one of my wigs, Pink Pig was in Godzilla's mouth and one of my kitties was wearing one of my top hat fascinators. I'm supposed to be seventeen, but this was just so adorable! I feel a little crazy for blogging it now, but hey!
