F for FREEDOM

As of last monday, i am officially free! I finished off a painstaking 6 stupid hours of exams and went home and celebrated by lying on my bed and staring at the ceiling. The reason it's taken me so long to actually type out my official "freedom" post is because:

• Since Monday, I have watched over 100 episodes of Naruto Shippuden.
• That's it.

I used to be obsessed with naruto and I watched so much anime... this was all before ib and even my second gcse year I think. I was well behind on shippuden and... I managed to catch up in like 3 days. Cool.

It was also our dinner dance (aka prom) on Friday, but since i haven't typed up the finer details of my exciting life, I will backtrack to the Friday before exams, when Lizzy (who I only recently got close to, which is bizarre as we are literally spirit sisters,) invited me, Izzy and Tom to her mom's birthday celebration at this badass hippie-esque place called Dharma Den (Yes, we dressed according and appropriately.) Izzy just uploaded the pictures so I shall share some now actually.

I love fisheye lenses ugh I really want/need one.






This is co cute ahh.



I'm planning to take loads of photos as my "final proper summer" in Hong Kong. I want to document as much as I can and bring cute pics to uni!



I actually adore this picture so much oh my god.



Anyway, so, Friday was dinnerdance. Because I'm not good with formal occasions and the whatnot because of my lack of caringness, I only got my dress Wednesday with my mother. I tend to get a "if it fits it's fine whatever" mentality so I literally just found a random dress and went with it.




With Alex (who organised the dance,) and Ali!

Another thing is, I'm going to colour my hair tomorrow! Me and Lizzy ordered coloured dye off the internet... last week or so? And we're going to bleach (hairdresser,) and then dye streaks and colours. Super excited, will take loads of pics.



I have also decided that this is healthy summer '11. I normally run ALMOST every day, (which is definitely not every day heh,) but I'm going to be a good healthy child and eat better too! Lizzy agrees and we've made some plans to go hiking and picnicking with lovely healthy food and be good children! I actually always feel so lovely and pure when I eat ~healthy foods~ so hopefully this is good aw - i'm actually going for frozen yogurt with Esme in a bit though ha. (Can't beat some addictions.)



I am also going to try draw one sheet (800x600px) of sketches a day. I'm beginning to develop a style and I need to practice anatomy and facial expressions! I've been doodling in my sketchbook for the last week so hopefully I can keep up this sudden motivation. I'm pretty sure two years of ib killed all inspiration, and now it's come bubbling up again which is lovely.


skiiiiitches



I have tons of summer plans but not too much money. I've applied/asked about a few jobs because I want/need a new laptop for uni. Luckily, most of the people I've made plans with agree, but I still need to budget. I have deduced, however, that the majority of money I spend is transport and food. More walking and less consuming of unhealthy expensive food should help solve that a bit! Planning hikes and cute sleepovers and I may even risk the beach, (I'm afraid of the sun because I tan like crazy and I don't actually like it.)



Another brilliant thing is that my childhood friend Portia, (who I got to see in England again,) is MAYBE coming to Hong Kong in August! I really really hope she does, because it'll be so fun showing her around and everything! I'm going to Thailand with my family this summer, (was actually meant to be Italy, but due to uni being so expensive we changed it... I'm actually not too bothered though, despite my overwhelming fear of the sun, I love thailand at night,) so that should be really good too!



On a final note, I have found some of my summer playlists! All Time Low's album leaked and it's actually perfect summer-y powerpop. I actually have a love for that band that will never die, so I'm actually pleased about it! Completely unrelated, but I'm also going to try be less lazy this summer, heh. A couple of weeks ago my dad gave me a recharge coupon for my phone, and of course, I chucked it somewhere. Yesterday I found out I was very low on phone credit and due to my money issues, (i.e. being broke,) I panicked because I would have to spend the money myself. HOWEVER, a thorough search for front door keys - I got shouted at because I kept losing them... I found 3 in my room oops - revealed that it was hidden under some school work in my cupboard. Success!
