Hi All. As many of you know, I have recently found out that I have got my funding for Loughborough College!!! For those that do not know, I have just told you.
I was overjoyed when I got the news, but unfortunately I could not tell anyone until the letter came through. I really can't believe that the dream that I've always wanted has come true!!
Also in other news, I'm going to be 19 soon!! In 3 weeks and 4 days I will be 19!!!! Oh. My. Gosh!
I thought I'd update you on my news because some of you do not know about it.
:) :D

Duke of Edinburgh
Hi All. Sorry it's been a while, but I thought I'd write a post on my first weekend on Duke of Edinburgh. It was a fun weekend! On the Saturday we had to be there by half past 8 with all our kit, waterproof trousers coat everything like that and rucksacks for our lunch and everything else. Then when we got on the bus we drove to the Malvern Hills, and we got there about 10.
Then we started to walk, it rained a bit, but then later on in the afternoon it brightened up!
It was a long walk but we managed it and yes this time I did have water! or enough of i t!!
Then it was time to go back to college and as we drove back I thought of sleeping in a cold, wet, horrible tent, but realised why think negative and think positive instead! So when we got back we set up our tents and as we had got back early due to a student wearing the wrong shoes, we were allowed to go back to our houses and hostel to have a bit of free time.
Then at half past 9 we went back to the camp site, and then we got ourselves ready for bed and snuggled down for the night.
Then Sunday morning dawned and we were freeeeezing cold! There was even a frost on the tent!
We got to go back to houses for breakfast, and then we had to be back for 9 to go to the Wyre Forest this time, and then we started our long walk. There was 4 maps we had to read, and although my navigation skills aren't quite there, they are getting there.
Then about 4 we got back after a good weekend walking. The fresh air I think sent us a bit nuts as a few of my friends started talking cave men lol!
Good weekend overall

Well, a lot has been happening over the last few weeks and whether you've been busy, quiet or just manic, we've all got time to chill.
So what have I done? Loads of maths assessments, getting out because we had a fire practice, chatting with chums and just having a great time. Anyway I know I need to keep you updated so that's what I'm doing. Will write more when something else happens.
