Alrighty then..

Today has been pretty good, and it was weird going to dad's yesterday as one of my dad's other cats called Amy was more loving than per usual which is a sign that she is really missing Mumu. Seems we might be getting a kitten to comfort Amy but am not sure when that will happen if it will happen at all.

Writing is going well, although finding time to actually do it is a little hard! School work is piling itself on but I shall get through it. I always somehow through some miracle do. My teacher from Eng Lit said it was 'powerful' and she seemed to like it so am pretty pleased :) (I had to show her an extract of Burgess Hill for homework btw - it wasnt very clear before)

English Lit was interesting today - found out some stuff that I didn't know through some good ol' fashioned girly gossip. Although a cat fight seems to be developing (no pun intended) so we shall see what happens. Hopefully all will be peaceful or at least not catastrophic.

The good news...and then the bad

Starting with the bad I guess...my dad's cat called Mumu died of a stroke today - it was quite sudden. I saw her just last week and she seemed her normal self. I hope you rest in peace, angel, I won't forget you.

My writing seems to be back on track, and although am not in the writing/working mood at the moment, I think things are going pretty good. Well hopefully they are - although I have just written a poem which is a bit rubbish but am asking for crit to see if i can improve it! Burgess Hill is going fine and things are starting to pick up pace a bit now...so we shall see what happens!

It's going to be weird going to dad's next sunday - Mumu's death hasn't quite kicked in yet, at the moment I feel kinda...nothing. I guess this is shock though, the first stage of grief and all. Don't think I'm heartless I know she's gone but I just don't want to believe it. But I am going to deal with this, one way or another. I'm missing her already. She was a beautiful cat.

R.I.P my darling

:D

This week has been pretty good - got a conditional offer from Aston and have been asked to attend an interview for Kent, so am pretty happy about it all - although slightly nervous about what the interview will be like but will prepare avidly for it so I can know what kind of questions they ask! And Harry Potter is out today and am going to see it later on and am really looking forward to it!!!!!

*Sigh* yes, this week hasn't been so bad! Touch wood that it will stay that way!

Monday 15th November

Well that was certainly interesting - came home to find post from Bournemouth and Lincoln universities telling me that - well for Bournemouth - I would need an interview and to bring some stuff along (which they did not mention in their prospectus can I point out) so am panicking slightly about that. I have some stuff to give to them but none of it spectacularly good! Hmm, I have also analysed some websites for coursework and have done some paper designs so maybe that might be useful for them????

Sigh...I get the feeling today is going to be a LONG one!

Thursday the Eleventh

Exciting news! I have had two offers from Portsmouth and Lincoln for the university course I want to do (Web Computing) and it hasn't even been a week since we sent out the application! So am very pleased, but am waiting anxiously to hear from the others :/

I have decided that I really need to sort my head out - I get obsessed over the most stupidest of things, or even benign of things (if you're the person who said this to me you know who you are!) It's just I have an intense fear of illnesses and anything thats not even anything to worry about, I go absoloutely mental! Haha. But am deciding not to worry about this sorta crap anymore because you only get one life and its for living! So I do apologise for being an irritating stupid head today - I promise to not do so in the future!

In media today I was so wrapped up in work that I forgot about the two min silence and i asked my friend something and she just gave me a look as if to say 'erm...we're not meant to talk now'. I felt like a complete and utter fool. English was annoying - not much change from usual. The devil woman has given us LOADS of homework - she seems to forget we have other subjects as well...

Rain was awful today - I had to dry my cardigan under the blow dryer at school because the coat hadn't been able to deal with all the rain. Urgh.

I also have an idea for a short story, which was based upon something someone said in the writers circle last night so should be erm interesting to say the least. I just hope I can do it right! May write it tonight but I need to get more of Burgess Hill done

Ta me dears

Tuesday 9th Nov

Am in a much better mood today. Life gives you some terrible times but it makes up for it eventually! Today was good as all my friends were in a generally good mood and of course that feeling is always infectious. My cats are currently killing each other and the normal status of life is returning. I am taking the night off for homework - will do some tomorrow morning: I love having Wed's mornings off! It is my best friends eighteenth tomorrow and I have just wrapped up her present, so I hope she likes it! Its actually kind of scary to think that she is going to be eighteen; it's hard to imagine that she's seventeen!

Need to start writing at some point this evening as I didn't really write much yesterday. And I am also testing out some new ways to interpret certain supernatural creatures. And no, before you ask the vampires here are NOT sparkly :-P

Take care me lovelies!

Monday 8th November: The beginning :D

Ok...well one of my friends has a blog and I kind of stole the idea to have one of my own. I thought it might be interesting to see how it goes...not that my life has a lot going on at the moment but yet it's worth a try eh? I am an aspiring author and am currently working on a project called Burgess Hill. It is perhaps the most serious story I have ever written and it seems to be taking up a lot of my inspiration. I am aiming to write something every day but unfortunately school is preventing that somewhat. In year twelve I wrote a 100,000 word novel in the space of seven months but this year it seems that university applications etc are taking up time.

I am a bit miffed at myself as I have lost my USB stick which had my original version of BH and I am now having to rewrite parts, but I know that it is not as good as my original which is irritating. I am feeling the pressure at the moment from all areas of my life and am finding it hard to cope. I just want a break, but if I have a break I fall behind and then blah blah blah. But I shall shut up moaning and get through it as best as I can.

I would like to introduce to you my writing buddy:

Her name is KitKat and she is the most demonic, evil and cute cat that has ever lived. Other nicknames beside 'kits' is: 'fur-face', 'what the hell are you doing now?' and 'OW! That's my foot!'

You can catch up with me on Twitter: @emhanns, or if you're more interested in the writing aspect, I post to my writers circle's blog, If Shakespeare had a blog it would be like this, so check it out (only if you want to that is)

I hope everyone reading this is well, and that they have had a good fireworks weekend!
