How Do Blog?

Who the hell gave me Netflix?

My mum, to answer that question, but we're working in rhetorics here people!

So, update since the last post, I've been working on sorting out my books and stuff for school so that they're at least a little more streamlined for revision, which I'm hopefully absorbing along the way.

Thinking about it, that is pretty much all I've done of interest, the fun of a school life, so repetitive!

How do blog?

I feel like everything needs to be tidy, but I have no energy, no drive. I could find it, for a small amount of time, and then it's lost again. I cleaned out my wardrobe; only the wardrobe, though, and the shoes, I have an entire six drawers to rake through and condense, and then an entire bedroom to sort, 11 different subjects worth of books to 'streamline'. You can see why I procrastinate.

The fact that it's only light whilst I'm in school is hardly motivating either, it's dark when I wake up, barely light when I leave the house at quarter to 9, and the sun is setting before I even leave school at 3.

The pile of Christmas boxes in my room don't do me any favours either.

I'm a pile of excuses

That are hidden in lies and smiles.

I really need to eat, though, there's a tin of soup calling my name, so I'll stop whilst this post is semi-coherent

2nd Blogiversary and 10,000 Pageviews

Just a quick post to declare that yesterday, the 6th was the second anniversary of this blog (what was originally EveIsNotPosh).
It's bizarre to think that I've spent two entire years speaking to what is essentially a void of the internet.
This year is, of course, going to be a tough time for me, with exams and starting sixth form, so I'll warn everybody now that I may not be as active as I have been on this little corner of mine.
Also, we hit 10,000 page views yesterday, at some point! Don't honestly know how that happened, but I'll take it ;)
I'd like to take this moment to thank the continued support of everybody, I wouldn't have believed two years ago that I would make the friends I have in this little corner, and I wouldn't change a second.
It's kind of a second new year, so happy new year, and for both you and me, I hope it's a good one!

How?

I disappeared again, sorry.
I honestly don't understand how I spend so much time on the internet.
Just how?

Life's a whole bunch of 'how's at the minute

How am I supposed to do a controlled assessment in January?
How am I supposed to revise whilst simultaneously doing homework?
How am I supposed to keep myself together?

Looking at these questions, I kind of realise the beauty of the English language. Stress the right word, and in the right way, and you can answer them.

How am I supposed to do a controlled assessment in January? By putting as much effort into it as I have in my other ones (two of which I got A* in, as I found out today)

How am I supposed to revise? By sorting myself out, and realising that homework is revision, ultimately.

How am I supposed to keep myself together? I already am, and I'll continue to do so until this method stops working, then find another one.

It's not a matter of complaining, asking other people how.
It's about asking yourself, and somedays, I need to remind myself.

After that moment, let's have an update!

I went on holiday a few weeks back, had a brilliant time! If you want to see some photos and stuff, you can visit my instagram.

I got puppies! Two little girls, Bess and Fizz, who are black/chocolate labs. They're so bouncy, oh my god, Bess has pouncing to a fine art.

I've been looking at sixth forms; in my head, I'm decided (on not staying on), but I'm going to my school's sixth form open evening tomorrow. I think I'm going to do English Language, History (or Sociology), Spanish, and Media. The first and last are definite, but those three in the middle I don't know. Once we get to bridging week in June/July, we'll see.

NaNoWriMo was a flop, once again. I don't know what it is that makes me think that when I'm on holiday, I'll be productive. I was nowhere near productive. However, progress has been made upon Eyes of the Reaper, people! I have about 300-350 words, amazing, I know. I also have the ending, strangely enough. I won't be sharing that, but as of now unedited, I'm quite happy with it, it has the right pacing for me. Don't know when I'll be able to work on it again, though.

Hope you're all doing well! Will see about a WW for tomorrow, but as you've all probably figured out, no promises from me!
