Home Coming and Important Characters

I returned from my lazy do-nothing and eat-lots holiday in Portugal on Monday.. it was great =D

Excluding the 5 hour delay on my flight out, for which I received a £3 food voucher from easyJet for compensation. Not impressed. Anyhow, I still got through over 10 books on my eight day get away, and enjoyed every one =]

I got my GCSE results yesterday. When people have inquired as to how I did, I've been mostly just recalling how many of each grade I got, but if your reading this blog then your probably interested enough to read what I got in each subject... so here goes..

English Language - A*
English Literature - A*
Maths - A
History - A
Science Foundation - A
Additional Science - A
German - A
P.E GCSE - B
Drama - B

Yeah.. I'm pretty pleased with my results... others did better, and alot did worse, but I did as well as I could =] I'm particularly proud of my two English A*s, and firmly believe my teacher had alot to do with me attaining them, a slightly eccentric, rock music loving, ex-punk, dame-playing, poetry-loving musician who teaches English like no one else.

I did think, in passing yesterday as I watched groups of my peers pour over sheets of A4 paper with their results on that maybe there something just a little bit wrong in our world, for is it right that the most important thing to the majority of the aged 16 population is a few bits of paper with different letters on them? I'm probably wrong, but I think about it none the less.

If you do read all these ramblings, then thank you, it means alot to know people are interested in my thoughts, values and opinions, as those of alot of people my age are considered insignificant by many.

Shooting Stars and Foreign Skies

I'm leaving for Portugal on Sunday.

I'm looking forward to it, a week of doing nothing but reading, swimming, listening to music, eating and sleeping.

Alot's happened in the last month... it's been brilliant, my birthday, my girlfriends birthday, various parties... It's been epic =]

I went to a friends birthday last night.. he built a fire pit and we had a long evening of talking whilst random looking up at the sky and seeing shooting stars.

My better half went to California yesterday, and truth be told.. I'm gonna miss her. But I'm glad... she's gonna have an amazing time and I can't wait to hear about it.

Two weeks and 5 days without someone you love is a long time.

I love her ^.^

Anyway, I'm babbling...

Peace Out - MTB
