Decisions

WARNING: BORING POST.
As of late, I have found that absolutely everywhere and everything involves a large matter of decisions. I only recently noticed this the other day as I'm generally quite laid back about things, but all of this talk of university is beginning to seem extremely terrifying. I feel that sixth form has flown by incredibly quickly and I am no where near ready enough to be choosing where I want to spend three years of my life when I don't even know how to cook a suitable dinner. Nevertheless, I am still trying to stay happy despite the many decisions that I may have to face soonish. I'm considering a gap year doing volunteering work in a foreign country, but I guess I'll pass that bridge when I arrive at it.
My job is going reasonably well and I feel that I've settled in happily. My school-work and revision is going swiftly and I'm generally getting everything finished. 
With my next training weekend for Chennai Challenge next week, I have already topped my target of £1,000 by this meeting and I am now only £200 away from my minimum amount. This really is brilliant and I couldn't be more grateful to everyone donating and being so generous.


And here's a picture from The Railway Children seeing as you're THAT interested.
Don't lie, of course you are.

Thankful Thursday #18

It's quite shocking how long I've been writing this blog for and I've only done eighteen thankful Thursday's. Hmmm. Actually, it's quite shocking in general just how much I've been abandoning my blog. As exams are rolling along very soon, I'm not going to say that I'll try and blog more frequently as I just need to focus on the next month to get it all out of the way. 
As I haven't been blogging so much, there's many things that I'm thankful for but I'll try and just include a few. (Queue not being able to think of any now).

- GAME OF THRONES IS BACK. So is Bates Motel, but we all know that GoT is more important.
- The run of The Railway Children running entirely smoothly and successfully.
- Spending a wonderful birthday with Lewis, my family and getting the opportunity to see Henry IV Part One at the RSC.
- Finally purchasing a pair of Buffalo boots.
- Having my next project lined up; Animal Farm at the Lichfield Garrick in October. 
- Spending a lovely Easter with my family and finally being able to eat crisps and McDonald's again. 
- Starting my new part-time job at KFC and looooooving it. 
- Popping to Alton Towers on Monday with Lewis, Sarah and Anthony. 
- Raising £1,300+ for Chennai Challenge (only £200 more to go)!

The Easter holidays have treated me extraordinarily well but I feel that I haven't been working hard enough. Lacking motivation isn't too positive.
