I have an excuse…

So I know, I haven’t written in months and the promise of many posts about my summer holidays and change in lifestyle linger in the air.

But (as usual) I have an excuse. Except this time I think it’s a pretty good one

1) I’ve had a pretty stressful time at sixth form. I’m talking exams, coursework, numerous deadlines and general life-ness (that’s a word now). And I’ve pretty much learnt how to deal with this (not even gonna lie, it’s been hard) but I’m coping. Due to factors that really deserve their own posts. The final date for this period of my life is the 11th of June, so basically I will devote my time to WordPress then :’)

2) In the mean time, I have taken part in the creation of a short film (& a few other things :D) so I haven’t been lazing around playing Sims; as much as I would love that. I have been rushed off my feet with production, re shooting and editing till 3am (what is life).  But it’s produced some of my proudest work to date, there some things I would re shoot (perfectionist habit) but I think even the suggestion of re shooting would end in my murder. I will link to the film and the poster below, also I will link the Facebook page in case any of you guys are interested in the making.

 

Announcements

Okay guys, I have two exciting announcements starting this summer! Okay first of all, I’ve decided to start a YouTube channel where I’ll do exactly what I do on here; but with my face. (Yeah, this gon be great >.<)  Alsoooo, me and my performing arts crew will be featuring in a performance at DISNEYLAND PARIS at the end of June, so you know I’ll be vlogging the whole thing. It’ll be just like you’re there with me. 

So basically, this summer’s gonna be off the hook, and I will make a timetable and stick to it! (I hope) 

See ya next time, Jemimah x

 

Just chill chill

Calm your horses, yes I haven’t written in a long time. But that just means I’ll have so much to tell you when I get round to it 😉
Keep positive.
Love,

My ten days in Barking Town Hall

So it’s my last day in Town Hall and over these two weeks, which my mother says has flown by but it felt like two months to me. I’ve learnt many things about what I want to do, what I’m missing, and many other things.

First of all, I learnt that I don’t like having tea outside of my house. Weird, right? If I am not sitting down wrapped up in my bathrobe, watching Netflix, I don’t even want to hear the word tea. And you know I really am comfortable at your house, if you offer me a cup of tea and I accept. I guess it’s more of a psychological thing, my brain associates tea with home and a lovely couch. But that’s just me.

Back on topic, while I was there I was fortunate enough to see both sides of the media. A company (the council) and the press (newspapers) – I writing press releases and sending them to newspapers and I’ve received press releases and turned them into articles. This really helped me identify what I want to do whether I want stay down the English/Media route or totally change. I want a job where I will be very busy, constantly on my feet, so busy that I may even forget to eat. To me at least that seems like fun. I don’t want to end in a job where I’m always sitting and on a computer all day and the only time you’re up is for some really long boring meeting.

The quote “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone” is very spot on for my position, this is not the first time that it has happened either. It’s surprising all the little things you miss when you are taken away from it. I miss my friends, Chinese on Thursdays, walking home everyday, badminton on Fridays, etc.

Also, there is a lot of things people don’t understand about the government or even their local council. There isn’t some secret scandal going on, there isn’t some rich greedy man sitting in charge, who couldn’t give a toss about anyone. There are just normal people like us. Human. flawed. Just like us, so before you go on a rant, shouting down the phone to the council, take a deep breathe and explain your problem. They’re more likely to help you that way. Now don’t get me wrong, I am sure there are people that work for the council that really couldn’t give two monkeys about your problem, all I’m saying is that I’m yet to meet one.

This work experience was amazing, it really did show me what work was and I am excited to begin but there is a time and place for everything and now is not it. It has shown me to not take for granted the freedom and extra time I have on my hands now, because I won’t have it forever.

Until next time

Introducing Me.

Welcome Ladies and Gents,

My name is Jemimah/Lola (call me what you will, I don’t mind.) I decided to start a blog to write down some of the things that go through my mind. This could be anything from rants to questions about myself, or just random silly shiznits. However, my updates may not be regular as I’m in sixth form and don’t have a lot of free time. (okay, a little white lie. I have free time, I’m just lazy.)

I was going to put in an inspirational quote but nah. Instead there only one thing you need to know:

“Don’t have sex because you’ll get pregnant and die.”

K? K.
