End of summer 2010

The time has come to say goodbye to summer…

It’s a bit sad looking back at what I have been doing since the start of July, pretty shocking to see how little work I have done for college as well.

Since I started my holiday 2 months ago, I thought that I would be very bored with nothing to do but now it’s nearly over, I have like a thousand more ideas I want to do.

When I finished college, I can remember trying to get a job in Lynn, I spent most of my time doing housework and hanging out with friends and sleeping and moving rooms in my house.

I loved it! It made me feel like a desperate housewives star, minus the scandals, children and well rich husbands.

Then it was August before I knew it.

The sun was out, I had a job and still had time to do stuff like go to the beach and just be lazy, which is problematic now I have to wake my brain up again and put it to work.

I’m still struggling to figure out what I did for about 10 weeks, which is very bad for a 17 who is taking A Levels.

I also had a great work experience placement at another paper for about 2 weeks which I enjoyed and helped me get up in the mornings.

But now, it’s the start of college.

I’ve been pro longing this since I got my results a few weeks back and got an E in History because now I have to decide what I want to do about it, double my work load or focus on my future in journalism?

Its tricky to decide honestly, my mind’s all over the place, I don’t really want to go back now that I’ve had another taste of the journalism world but im not really one for just giving up on things (and I cant leave my friends at college all by herself now she’s just starting thanks to me).

Another reason I’m not looking forward to college is I can’t manage climbing 5 flights of stairs everyday thanks to my fear of lifts.

I’ve had a nice stair free summer!

And now I have to sit through hours of filling out university applications when I know that university is not what I want to do so really its just killing off more trees’s if you look at it from my point of view.

But there is really no getting out it anymore. Despite what I said, I did miss college, not seeing my friends, I missed not being able to have an excuse not to do anything at home and mostly I missed the fact that I couldn’t wander in to town shopping on my lunch times.

I best be preparing myself for Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, just what every teenager wants to read.
