This post is quite late because I haven't really had much time this week. I've got loads of coursework that needed to get done and I've been revising for a maths exam I have next week. Also, I AM NOW SIXTEEN! It was my birthday on Wednesday so I didn't bother blogging then either! Anyway,
This is becoming a bit of a habit – I'm making a post a whole week after I did something. Last weekend I was on a young leader training course at Bradley Wood (which I seem to be spending a lot of time at recently). I completed 5 Modules (A-E): Module A, Prepare for take

This saturday coming up I'll be taking part in county jamboree selection. In February I went on a selection weekend for my district but I didn't get a place. Then, there was 3 places for 12 people. This time, there's 12 places for over one hundred people – so the chance of getting a place

I've had very little time for this blog as of late because exams and coursework deadlines have been approaching and I've been spending a lot of time working and revising. I've spent hours over the last week doing music coursework and practicing for performance exams and I hadn't really left much time for anything else.

Over the last few months I managed to lose all motivation for posting regularly on this blog. I've been out of school since June and over summer my life has consisted (almost) entirely of skateboarding, video games and sleeping in.
