So like, I'm shattered.

I'm really shattered, like, just to get my point across, i'm shattered, okay people? Shattered.

Ha! I sound like an emotional wreck who's about to end their life or something, ha, actually thats not really funny but yeh. I'm actually just experiencing the consequences and after effects of lack of sleep. Because, I have this not-so-good habit of being like a teenager and staying up till silly o'clock in the morning doing plain nothing. Yeh, it's not that cool really, not when I have to face the dark rings below my eye sockets that appear in the morning. Not pretty.

However, on a high note, I'm estatic to say that I officially finish my first year of college tomorrow. How time has flown! So i'll get around nine to ten weeks off, which is brilliant. I've no plans whatsoever yet but no doubt i'll get up to my fair share of adventures! So as from Monday i've had my last few days of colllege, it's just been a mad rush, with annoying squeels of excitement from new students coming up and then the constant groans from the current students (ie, me). But harrahh, it'll soon be over, which means i'll be able to make more trips to starbucks (winner!) and be able to stay in bed longer in the morning, hah, yes.

   ^ That just looks, ahh, too lovely. I'm in need of that.^



What I've been up to.

Lately I've been trying to make practising playing the piano a priority, but I can't exactly say I've achieved that, 'cus well, I just haven't. So then I have to try and come up with some excuse to my music teacher as to why I haven't been practising. Yeh. #embarrassing

This week I've been writing a lot. I wish I could say that some of that writing involves writing blog posts, but it doesn't. I'm sorry, I will try harder. Oops. So I've actually been writing up essays for college and revising for exams and all that boring palava, but hey, it's gotta be done. Just please tell me it'll all be worth it...? #writersblock

Today I went to church, 'cus, well, it's Sunday. I worshipped alongside my crazy friends, then sat with my brother to listen to the preaching. It was all good, it always is. I just generally love being at church, I prefer being there than at home to be honest. #Godshouse

Look at this / Listen to this / Read this

I don't really know how many people read my blog, or if any ones even noticed that I haven't blogged in weeks, but if you have noticed, then I'm sorry. I will try harder, I might get a couple of guest posters on here too. ;)

Lavender in glass jars and other things

I was searching through weheartit, 'cus sometimes they have some ahhbsolutely loveliness photos on there..and i found this one and loved it. This post probably won't even mention lavender...or glass jars, but you know, it's nice to look at i guess.

Today is my day off from college, it's a weekly thing. I guess I'm just lucky, these days usually include completing homework and drinking lot of tea and then by 4pm wondering what I've done my day and coming to the realisation that they answer to that is almost nothing. I probably ought to plan my Wednesdays, but it doesn't ever happen.

Moving on. I cant tell you how glad I'll be when this cold weather has gone, then again..this is England. Cold city. The winds are blowing so cold and waking up to frost ever morning can admittedly be quite beautiful, but i don't appreciate it's beautifulness when I cant stop shivering and can;t stop the chattering coming from my teeth, i get so cold, it's crazy, but yeah, it's winter, i should stop complaining and keep smiling, we only get it once a year.

But goodness, i can't even find the right words to explain how much i cannot wait for summer, I'd try to tell you my longing for it but all that seems to come out of my mouth is a squeal and my feet seem to life the floor and rise. Yes, i can get a little too excited!

 

My friends and i also share a blog over at WalkingIntheLordsDirection and we are in the middle of re-designing it and shifting things around and taking things away and adding little bits and pieces, so feel free to have a look. Any tips, advice or ideas are very welcome! :-)

 

Anyway, stay amazing all you people. Gods good.

 

Saff xo

Its snowed...

Yes, we've finally had some snow here! Not a great lot, but enough for us to say, "It's snowed". Here it doesn't look quite as magical as in that picture above but i guess it's getting there, kind of.

 

I started the day off being woken by a horrible sound at 7am, my alarm clock. Pulled on my spotty pink slippers and went downstairs. I drank 2cups of tea, then went back upstairs and got ready for college. I unusually like Tuesdays, but today i just felt tired, ah. I could blame it on myself  for not going to bed earlier but i won't.

 

It;'s now 10:44pm, but i can get away with staying up later tonight because i have no college tomorrow (ohyehh!). Even though it's still probably not the best idea to be drinking any energy drinks, at this time, bit stupid of me really.. oops, never mind.

 

Anyway this post seems to be going off in different directions.

 

I should end it.

 

Pray, pray and pray some more!

 

Hug and out xoxo

Little things and a bit of a ramble...

Guess what, im feeling thoughtful again, seriously, why doesn't my mind just stop for a little holiday? lol. Its like when im lying in bed at night and im trying to sleep and then my mind just gets flooded with thoughts and i end up faffing about things i forgot to do or conversations that i had with people, or things that are going to happen soon and all that kinda stuff. Its kinda crazy, so then i cant sleep, so i sometimes get some paper and a pen and quickly just write it all down and then i can just leave it there and write at the bottom of the paper.. "Pray about it". So then sometime daaaaays later ill find that scrap of paper and read the silly list and i see the bottom of the paper where it says to pray about it, so i do. I either do that - write it all down then pray or write a song cus thats good and you can sing about everything and add silly little tunes and hummms and lalalas.
So yeh, ooh, that was a little long and rambly, i dont even know why i said all that but im leaving it now cus im tired and need some sleep (too many late nights..)

So yeh...little things...
I love it when those little things in your day make you smile,

. When a person doesn't let go from a hug even after you do.
. Backrubs
. Waking up in a good mood.
. Sleeping with the windows open in the summer.
. Finally seeing someone you've missed.
. Laughing all of a sudden because you remembered something funny.
. Handwritten messages inside greeting cards.
. When someone pronounces your name correctly
. The smell of the ocean.
. Finding a song that describes exactly what you feel.
. Perfectly toasted bread.
. Receiving good advice.
. Unexpected compliments.
. Finally arriving at your destination after a long journey. 

There a few little things that have stood out to me the past few days!

Anyway, now here's a bit of a ramble about college, so i was like really scared about college, it just sounded big and scary and big and weird and big. Cus im 14 and all the other students there are like 16+. So im like the youngest there. Eee. Scary thought. Buuuut, actually college is great, its really good. It still is a bit nerve-wrecking sometimes, especially, as i dont know anyone there apart from my brother so when i walk in a classroom everyone just like, stares. lol. But ah well. It'll be fine. God's put me there and i know he's with me. So its good :-) The only downer about college is that, i cant have any late nights, cus i have to be up at like 6:30am in the morning so i cant stay up late, cus i tried that and uh, it didnt work, i was so tired and i still am but slowly im learning, so i have to make myself be in bed for a certain time, lol. 

That's enough rambling from me.
Have a blessed week bro's and sis's!

:-)
