Life's Busy Busy Busy Busy Right Now :)

Oh my gosh my lifes really busy now a days with getting ready for the interview at the Loughborough college, doing my portfolio and doing a Child Protection course that the Lighthouse Learning Project as run in the half term on Monday at 10am till 4pm.

   Ontop of that I'm doing a campaign about save the aylestone meadows nature reserve from the football development that the city council want to build there, they want to build two huge astro turfed football pitches complette with a clubhouse, extra parking, more floodlights and really, really tall fencing that looks like prison fencing which is not in keeping with the nature reserve at all. Anyway I made a facebook group called "Save Aylestone Meadows Nature Reserve" and I was only expecting to have the odd couple people join but I was happiely shocked because when I made it, it just grow and grow and grow every second every minute of the day.

   Within 3 days I had, had 300 people join and were putting posts up constantly on the groups wall then 4 days it went upto 500, 5 days it had gone upto 600 and it was amazing how many people had joined then after nearly 2 weeks of the group being set up by me there was over 1,200 people that had joined and was sending in objection letters. We've sent in over 115 objection letters now maybe more, and hopefully more to come. A few days ago the group was in the Leicester Mercury with lets say just a little bit of a mix up which was fine and just yesterday it was in the Leicester Mercury with my the creator and admin of the group.

  If you want to join my facebook group and stop this horrible football development on the Aylestone Meadows or if you want to send in your own objection letter against this plan just go to the group and all the information that you need is there. The Save Aylestone Meadows Nature Reserve group is working side by side with AMAS which is the Aylestone Meadows Appreciation Society.

I'm sorry that I haven't been posting for a very long time but it's been really hectic lately,

Because it's getting closer for me to go to college and it's a bit step for me a 100% home educated teen to end my home education life and then go to college, all my friends say that it's actually not that big deal but they don't really understand how bigger step it is for me and to be honest I'm a bit scared, mostly excitement but I am scared because I don't know what it's going to be like I mean I've never been in a class room for the start.



 I know that I'm going to be fine but I'm struggling with the idea of me actually going to college, it's the only thing that's been on my mind all the time, I still haven't finished my personal statement for my application for the college yet so I'm worring a bit.

On the 5th me and mum wen to Abbey Park Campus Leicester College to see a career advisor there because I have no clue what happens in a college or the course that will suit me.

The man that I saw for the career advisor meeting was really nice to me, I thought that he would only just talk to my mum because mum told me that some career advisors do do that and no talk to the youths that want to apply to get into the college so I braced myself for that but he talked to me all the time and when my mum and asked him something he would both talk to me and mum which was great. He told me that it might be a good idea to go to connexions and pick up all the college stuff there and apply to more then 1 college even though I knew I wanted to go to Abbey Park Campus College

   I've nearly finished my personal statement letter because I'm home educated so I don't really have any qualifactions apart from my Bronze and Silver Arts Award, so my career advisor said "I think that you should write a letter to put with your application form because it will make it more easier for me to get into the college" So I've done just what he's said :) The good thing about career advisors is that he said that I can drop off my application form into the Student Services for the attention of him which is great, so he's going to read throug it and tell me what he thinks and what I need to change to make it better.



I know that I'm going to be fine but I'm strugglering with the idea of me actually going to college it's the only thing thats been on my mind all the time I still haven't finished my personal statment for my application for the college.

It's officially Winter now!

   You can now say that it is officially winter now because I woke up and looked out my window and it was snowing, Mum says that it started snowing when she woke up which was 8:00 I think not quite sure because I was snugged up warm in my really warm pjs and my double dovet cover playing Lego Rock Band on my Nintendo DS which I must admit I've been a bit addicted to lately :D but it's great fun though, it's a bit like Rock Hero but I think a bit better but then again I haven't played Rock Hero on the DS Yet I'm planning to though.  

 
  Another thing to say it's winter apart from the snow is it's bitterly cold now especially  when your boilers broken so the only hot water you can have is from boiling it in the kettle, I say it's living in a history experiement :D it's quite fun but not at the same time if that makes sense, the only room that is toasty warm is the living room and that's the only room in the whole house that is warm.

   Enough with the moaning and groaning about the house being absolutely freezing :D I like Winter because it makes a change from all the other seasons we have need to have a bit of variety in your life :)

My Business is picking up :D

Oh my gosh I can't believe this I'm in two treasuries in Esty that is amazing, for people to get treasuries and for it to be put up on Etsy and to be seen is actually quite hard I wouldn't be able to do it myself.

  I'm so happy that I'm in two treasuries It's awesome, I can't believe it :D

Performances over, Groups finished for the X-mas Hols :D

Both my performances, my dancing open class and Choir Consert went really, well I love the Choir I'm in everyone is so lovely and friendly and the choir tutor is just the best, she's so bubbly and welll.... like me :D she makes come back every week as well as my friends there to but she believes in me and she says that I have a great voice which helped me a alot with my performance at the Olive's Bar for my Silver Arts Award.

Hopefully the next choir  consert that we have I will be able to sing a solo, so fingers crossed for me then :)

It's weird not having Drama, Dance, Arts Award and Choir on at herrick road because it leaves my days so empty but that's good because it's gave me a chance to cook again and I forgot how fun cooking was. So I've started cooking again and I've got more time to talk to my friends on msn and facebook because my worst nightmare would be loosing all my friends becuase I've been to involved with my work and that so I'm keeping my social and educational life upto date too :D

I'll start posting again I promise :)

Sorry that I haven't posted stuff for a long time but I've been really busy getting ready for performances and that yesterday I did a Open class with my contempory dance group at Herrick road, I really enjoyed it yeah I did mess up a bit but that was fine because I wasn't the only one that messed up.

 After the open class had finished I was so hyper, it felt like I was running around on the ceiling :D my dad wasn't helping that much either, he kepy making my laugh and it just echoed all around the theatre room.

 My dance tutor (Rachel) was really, really proud of me and so was my mum and dad which is a great feeling on top of being hyper :) When I was talking to Rachel with mum she gave me so many complements saying how well I had done and how hard it is to fit into a group that knows each other and coming back every week.
