I am SO wasting my summer. Thing is… I can’t get a job, start doing my TEFL course or anything until my sixteenth birthday which is still two weeks away. So I’m trying to fill my time with photography, working out, learning French, writing and watching TV. I’M BORED! And everyone has disappeared
I’m so aloooooone!
Anyway! I’ve started a photo blog: http://danabeaton.tumblr.com/ That is if I keep to it. I also joined that 365 Project to try and keep myself motivated to take more photos throughout the holidays, but I keep forgetting my camera. I HAVE, however, finished two films so I’m gonna get them developed tomorrow. And they awesomely enough give you the photos on a CD too, so you don’t have to scan every single one. WOOHOO!

are so annoying sometimes. I won’t go into huge detail but I will bring up one thing! There’s two English papers in the two different exams. I got an averaged A in English Literature which was awesome! Then the English Language I got an A* in one paper! I was raving! I’ve never gotten an A* ever and I really want a good English grade because of art/film/screenwriting aspirations. But the second paper… I’d apparently left out a question, which I either mis-read on what/how many you were supposed to do or wasn’t told to ignore the unstructions and it ended up being a D, even though I got a 28/30 and 23/30 on the questions I did do! One of the English teachers told me my answers were brilliant but because I’d forgotten one… I think this is where I use my brother’s annoying “facepalm” word. At least it only averaged up to a B, but man! I HAD AN A FUCKING *!
It’s only the mocks… but I wanted to use them as predicted grades for part-time jobs and applying to schools. So would it be wrong of me to put A* instead of the B on my CV? Since I know I can get it and would have if I’d done the question!
