Where Have I Been?

After revision stress and exam exhaustion, I'm finally recovered and ready to get back in the swing of blogging...

I thought I'd put together a quick post on what I've been up to in my ridiculously long absence...
Granted, a large chunk of my leave was filled with highlighters, post it notes and CGP Revision guides, but I doubt many of you want to here about that! So here's a compilation of the slightly more exciting things I've been up to since my, long awaited, summer began just over 2 weeks ago!

No more 'school'. Ever!
Ok, so technically this didn't happen during my summer holidays but I feel like leaving school is a pretty big thing that I should mention! Next year is going to be quite a drastic change not only because I'm going to a performing arts school rather than a regular sixth form, but also because I'll be leaving behind my 3 closest friends and a hole bunch of other amazing people who helped make my secondary school years relatively pain free.

Prom
A night filled with far too many photos, loads of cake and some unforgettable dancing, all bound together by the sound of a pretty mediocre school DJ....

The Breakfast Club Café
Famous for is epic pancake stacks and quirky set up, The Breakfast Club Café pretty much lived up to all the hype... Only down side, it's a little pricey. Luckily, you do get quite a lot for your money. 
Highly recommend the vanilla pancake + fruit stack (obviously) and the green smoothie!

Canterbury
I've just come back from 5 day stay with relatives who live in the centre of Canterbury. A mini break was exactly what I needed after a hectic couple of months!
Canterbury has a good mix of both cute independent boutiques as well as lots of larger chain shops and yes, some shopping damage was done... Of course, the town also has an inescapable and amazing historical aspect to it, but unfortunately,  I don't think the photos above manage to do the infamous Canterbury Cathedral justice; honestly it's so so beautiful and despite the constant stream of tourists it still manages to maintain an air of peacefulness and calm.

Orange Is The New Black - Season 3
When I thought it couldn't get any better! I had to force myself to savour season 3 of OITNB after seriously regretting finishing all of season 2 in under 2 days... But after putting off watching the final episode for 3 days (I know that doesn't sound long but trust me it was torture) I finally finished season three and yep the love affair goes on!

Back to school...

Some how in the space of 4 days, I have managed to eat far more hot cross buns and mini chocolate rabbits than should be humanly possible... I regret nothing. Because hey, if you can't do that at Easter then when can you?
Unfortunately, I am back at school tomorrow *insert sympathetic "awww"*.  Luckily I'm in year 10 which means I don't have any  GCSEs or A levels to be worried about this term, but I do have a couple of small practice exams in the next few weeks so I've been revising a little bit every day (I might to a revision tips post soon?). Especially for maths because lets face it, I'm just not gifted in that department so need all the help I can get!
Anyway, just wanted to very quickly check in and hope you all had a nice Easter and good luck if you are sitting any of your exams this term! You'll be amazing.
