Me Love Cookie!

Cups of tea: 5

Song of the day: Drops of Jupiter by Train
Mood: Happy

Today I made cookies with my sister, which I am now eating with milk. I only realised just now that I am also wearing a t shirt that has the Cookie Monster on it. How wonderful! I don't bake very often, and it was very enjoyable.

It's hard to believe that the holidays are so close to finishing. I am looking forward to going back to school, if only to show off some pretty clothes and to see my friends. It will be difficult to have to start thinking of exams so soon after having such a long time to forget everything I have learnt.

My exam results were wonderful, which was a pleasant surprise. As far as I can remember, I only revised for Science, Geography and, where possible, English. I hope that I do as well next time around, where I shall undoubtedly put in a little more effort.

It's rather surprising how much things can change in the space of a few weeks. These holidays have been incredibly different to any of the ones I have had before, in the sense that I haven't gone away from home, and I have been working through them. I have been asked to stay on at the milkshake parlour after the holidays, which will be good as I will still be able to afford things when I'm in sixth form.

I think that having a job has taught me to really appreciate the time that I have to myself. I try to do things that I really enjoy on my days off, so that I don't feel as though they have been wasted.

I've had a change of face in recent weeks, as I have had my fixed braces put on. I don't mind them that much now, but when I first got them I was very upset with the way they made me look and my self esteem took a blow. I went to a friend's party feeling miserable and ugly. In the space of a few hours my perceptions had radically changed, both of myself and of other people. I don't feel quite so invisible any more.

These past few days have been very happy. I hope it continues.
