I applied for the Veet Modeling Competition. Out of all the people who must of applied I actually got a casting call....thing is.....It's all the way in London and I can't get there at all :( I feel so disheartened by it all, to think I could of been a model....oh well...
Today I had a 2 hour lesson which was really good. I did a very good drive although I stalled a few times but I've not driven for 2 weeks so I guess it's to be expected.
It was also raining - the first time I've driven in rain before so breaking was a little different.
I did quite a few turn in the roads and reversing round the corners - both which went well. She gave me 9.5 / 10 for my maneuvers!
Next week I'm doing sharp corner reserving and just the general drive again. Since it's nearly June I have been driving now for 4 months!!!
There is just 50 days until me and my best friend go to Spain! The time as gone so fast I remember when we booked it back in April!

I slept over at my best friends house at the weekend. It was a great time!
 |
| we went to go see Gatsby - it was an awesome film!! see my last blog post about it . |
 |
| betime we got out the cinema it was staring to get a little late - It then felt like we'd lost half of the day as the rest of time just flew by! |
 |
| We then went to get Chinese for dinner! |
 |
| We ate our dinner outside, because it was so warm outside and the sun was still out in the garden! |
 |
| for the rest of the evening we just relaxed watched Doctor who and some of the film Step Brothers |
 |
| The next day was so beautiful!! |
 |
| We had a lovely breakfast outside and then just spent the remainder of the day relaxing in the beautiful garden |
This afternoon me and my best friend went to the cinema to see The Great Gatsby. We had both previously read the novel by the best modern classical author F. Scott Fitzgerald.
The film all in all was very good, marvellous in fact! I'd see it again if I could and hopefully i will! I'm defiantly going to buy it on DVD when it's released!
I really really want to see it again!!!!
Positives and Negatives of the film:
Positives:
- good casting
- good scenes
- followed the story of the book quite well
- good cameras angles and shots
- quotes on the screen
- the music (especially Lana Del Rey) but I'm biased I love her!!!
- the length of time; wasn't too long nor too short
- good duration of scenes
- didn't leave the film hanging
- easy to follow
Negatives:
- could of picked a more glamours actress to play Jordan
- the part of Nick Caraway in the physiatrists office; not mentioned at all in the book
- the beginning should of been more like the book
- no one came to Gatsby's funeral although they did in the book
- Daisy is slight different in the book

Brought myself a new book to read today!
F.scott Fitzgerald - This Side of Paradise
F.scott Fitzgerald - This Side of Paradise
Scott Fitzgerald is my favourite classical author. I believe a lot can be learnt from his books and his own life.
He wrote a lot of letter
s to his daughter Frances ( Scottie) I learnt about this one in particular from the BBC show: The Culture - Sincerely, F.Scott Fitzgerald It was a wonderful show. I learnt a lot from it, I quite like documentaries.
This letter that he wrote to his daughter is very wise about life, and I think it's very true; although he wrote it when she was just 11 when she was away at camp. However, this letter clearly changed something as ever since that letter, every letter he wrote he always signed it 'daddy'.

How good am I really in comparison to my contemporaries in regard to:
(a) Scholarship
(b) Do I really understand about people and am I able to get along with them?
(c) Am I trying to make my body a useful instrument or am I neglecting it?
I'm really ill right now I have awful tonsillitis so I've not done much to blog about.

Today I got my roots done again my hair is getting much lighter now!!
My roots are a little purple as usual but that washes out it's just from the dye developing or something....
I also brought some new silver shampoo! Hopefully it will be good it was on sale, Half price of half price!!! So only £3.50 what a bargain

Today my driving went really well much better than last times lesson!
I drove to the usual road which we did the turn in the road on before and then I did two of those perfectly. (although I HATE doing them, not because I can't do them just because there's so much information) We then went onto reversing around corners she told me about the theory too it which sounded really complex and I thought OMG...but really doing it wasn't too bad at all just have to remember the steps:

- Park up a little off
- POM
- Put into reverse and carry on until you just see the curb disappear
- Check wheel arch
- Make 1 and a quarter turns as needed
- Check position
- Get Parallel
We only did this maneuver once but I got it perfect the first time and I was good at knowing what to do if it went too wide or too narrow.
Although It was only an hours lesson I feel like we packed a lot into it and I can defiantly tell that my driving has improved. Next week were doing again reversing round corners and I have to do a turn in the road on my own.
She also told me to get the DSA Theory Book 2012 and to read through it - once I have read it all she is going to give me some theory practice papers to do - so hopefully soon I'll be doing my theory test!
Today I looked over my assignment; mainly the referencing! Whilst having a herbal tea...I'm hoping to get it out of the way by this week so that I can then move onto the next chapter.
I feel really depressed right now. I just am lacking in any sense of motivation and well I feel like giving up.
So I've put together a list of reasons why not to give up:
- It would be nice for once not to say 'I Quit'.
- You're stronger than you think.
- You've wanted this for a long time.
- Things will get better.
- Serendipity happens.
- You'll feel so proud for accomplishing this.
- Everybody goes through rough times.
- You've been through rough patches before and you're still going.
- Prove to yourself that you can do it.
- Prove to others that you can do it.
- This is for your future.
- Think of the long term effects quitting will have.
- You CAN do this.
- Let your determination get you through.
- Remember the good times.
- Remember why you are doing this.
- You are clever.
