This week.

This week has just been totally bizarre.

On Monday night I was zooming down country lanes in a car with a new friend in the early hours of the morning. Uncharacteristic of Jocy? Yep.

On Wednesday night I presented the school Christmas show for the fourth and final year. It was fun but possibly a tad anti-climactic, and made me realise that I'm not going to miss my school.

On Thursday night I got an offer from a university that I KNOW I completely showed myself up at. God knows what their criteria is, but I shall NOT be going there, that's fo shizzle.

And today we had a lot of snow but our school remained open (the only one that did in the area) because we have stubborn senior staff who made right idiots of themselves.

So everything from this week has kind of culminated into a big WHATTHEFUG and now I'm kind of dazed and zoned out for want of getting my head around everything.

I'm just so ecstatic that I now know I only have one term left at my school and then I will be done FOREVER. And I can forget the past two years and MOVE ON. It's a beautiful prospect! Although at this precise moment in my life I am pretty sure that I'm not going to get into university. WHICH REMINDS ME! I need to apply to work at Disney World for next September. I'm going to do that now.

December 4th 2009

I just watched the first ever trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the first ever time.

Seeing "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" in the HP font at the end of the trailer for the first time is just INSANE. I remember when I first saw "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in the very same font for the first time 8 years ago.

I can't even put into words how I'm now feeling.

I've been procrastinating an essay for over a week.
It's really stressing me out and getting it down.
Which is insane bearing in mind that I've known ALL WEEK that once I sit down, get my notes out and do it, it will take less than an hour.
But somehow, I still can't bring myself to do it.
*Sigh*

In which I am confused by undergarments.

I try not to be too much of a teenage girl cliche. This is because when I watch chick flicks I delight in the fact that I can enjoy the lives' of the characters knowing that I'm not bound to knowing anything about types of underwear and ways to swish ones hair in real life. But occasionally. absolute bona fide girl mode swoops down upon my friends and I. Friday was one of those days.

It all began with Aimee's bra. I could see a bit of pink poking through her top so I asked her where her bra was from. "It's not a bra, it's a (OHGOD I ACTUALLY CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS CALLED! Brb, Google)

Got it.

"It's not a bra, it's a basque."
This confused me entirely. "What's a basque?"
"It's like a corset but it doesn't do up at the back."
"So it's like a swimming costume with no knickery bits?"
"No Jocy."

This went on for about 10 minutes, in which Charlie had joined the conversation and was also trying to get me to understand what the absolute fug a basque is. In the end, Aimee and Charlie dragged me to the toilets and Aimee proceeded to SHOW ME her basque. As in, she just half stripped off standing there in the toilets. I was in hysterics to say the least. And she then went on to show me her stockings and suspenders. Cue more laughter.

"Aimee, why are you wearing all that slaggy stuff to school?!?!?!"
"Because I'm going round Louis' tonight!"
"Couldn't you have put it on when you got to his house?!"
"No. When I get to his house we don't want to waste any time. His parents are out."

And then Aimee showed me and Charlie how her boobs are in fact too big for her basque and they were falling out all over the place.

I'll definitely remember those 5 minutes for the rest of my life. It honestly could have been a scene taken straight from a film.

Au revoir youth.

Today is my last day as a child.
I find it very disconcerting and sad that most of us are adults for the majority of our lives. It just seems unfair. The best feeling ever, in my opinion, is having no worries. And I think I can safely say that I haven't had that feeling, pure and unadulterated, since I was about 5. So why do we have to grow up so fast? It's absolutely unjust.

I want the best of both worlds. I want to go to university and get a job and live away from my parents and be independent. But I want to stay a child. I never wanted to even be 16, so you can imagine how horrible it feels knowing that tomorrow I'm going to be 18. Nearly two decades. Old.

I'm going to try really hard to make the most of today.

I like Stacey Solomon as much as the next person, but if she thinks that I'm going to vote for her just because she was in my Hebrew class 10 years ago, she's got another think coming.
