Mmm

The first day of college went pretty well. Form isn't bad, not really and I didn't get lost once! (Well there was a slight blip but I soon found my bearings). I had English Lit first and I LITerally cannot wait to properly start the course! Everything about it seemed so good and I can't wait to read and write and ahh! Only flaw; I wanted to do the other pair of poets for the exam. Then that way I would have been able to talk about Sylvia Plath all day long and write all about her :(
Citizenship was a right laugh. I have Chloe in my class which basically means it'll be a rerun of the infamous PSE class we had when she was at St Hell :')
Art History was OK. Not brilliant, but not terrible.. Just OK. I'm looking forward to getting stuck in the work though, all this ice breaker nonsense is killing me!
Fine Art was err.. Exactly as I thought it would be. I am completely terrible at drawing, well at least in a crowded environment. If I'm left to do it in my own time with Codex or No Surprises on repeat in the background, or even an episode of Luther, I can do it.. Alas, this shall not pass for an A Level. My drawing wasn't completely atrocious but it wasn't good either. My Art is expressive and abstract and all things conceptual. It's really not realist or surreal or impressionist or any other classically accepted form of Art. Wah, I've failed already.
So the only lesson I haven't experienced yet it History, but I'm in no rush for that. Another year of Nazi Germany? NO THANKS! The thought of spending the year after relentlessly learning about Russia will keep me going through it though.

Lucky for me tomorrow isn't a particularly full day. Early start for double English Lit, one single lesson of Art and then ten minutes of registration and I'm done! That being said I need to somehow find a computer to log onto for the Moodle stuff for Art. Urgh. Effort!

Anyway, I'm feeling good about having a routine (I think) and am looking forward to the rest of the year!

I can't sleep. But I am so determined to because I really don't want to go back to that numbing insomnia.
- I just need to point out here that the only thing that stays on my mind twenty four hours a day and seven days a week is my NEED for the Red Hot Chili Peppers tattoo. I am so so so so so determined to get the star (or 'Angel's anus' as Anthony would call it) on my right wrist, just like Ant and John have (I stress I didn't know this until a couple of days ago). But yeah. I want it.

I hear that when you die your brain gets flooded with fuck loads of endorphins. Just imagine that. In that final split second, to be so overwhelmingly alive.
Sigur Ros are just so beautiful, and even though I never have any idea what Jonsi is singing, the barrier of language doesn't mean that I can't interpret the sheer emotion in the music. It's truly amazing.

I want it to be Winter because then I can listen to Radiohead again. I can't listen to them now because it's too polar.

I don't want to start college with other people surrounding me but I do want to start college. I want to get a job and save money and travel around parts of the world in a gap year.
But that's if by God's hand the dark and the cold doesn't get me first. Because you never know, it may.

Well prom was fun. Prom was really really really fun.

The only good bit was the drunken conversation with Mr McKenzie and dancing to Single Ladies with him. I love Mr McKenzie. He's the only thing I'm going to miss about that place and he knows it.

But yeah, apart from that, then everything else about prom and the after prom party etc was a bit of a let down/disaster.

All I know now is that I'm in the mood to cry for hours and listen to Radiohead, maybe watch the first part of The Deathly Hallows and drink a lot of tea.

The worst part of it all is that I have my college induction day tomorrow. Not to mention the fact that this whole Granny thing seems to be taking a turn for the worse plus the fact that everything else is just fucked.
