92...

Get an A grade at A level: check

A IN DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, I was so beyond pleased and utterly shocked that I cried! Completely unexpected after what happened last year... I tried to take a photo of the grade for it to be evidence, but my camera wouldn't zoom in that close, so I guess I'll just end up framing it instead! Sounds silly, but if you knew how much i wanted and needed this, you'd understand.
So: Woo.
:)

The rest of my results were also pretty pleasing. Obviously they weren't Oxbridge standard but who gives a jnngusaig. I got a B in psychology (again very shocking, and a tad bit annoying because I was hoping to drop the subject), a C in History (one mark-ONE MARK-off a B!), and a C in English ( disappointing, but it won't hinder me in my quest to produce a best-seller never fear!).
Oh, and I failed General Studies. Shame...

Liquid diet for the day: check

Admittedly, I took on this challenge when I knew I was going to be boozing in the evening (an awesome night I must say!). That day I had a diet coke, soup, shit loads of water and a milkshake. Some people disagree with a milkshake being part of a liquid diet, saying how its 'ice cream'. I say 'pah'. If I can suck it through a straw: it's a drink!
To be honest, living on just liquid proved to be easier than I thought. Might do it again.

Explore a place I've never been before: check

I completely forgot! Turkey!
Ahhh... turkey...

...

An update on the challenges I have started but have not yet completed (in other words, trying to keep the blog alive).

Learn to roller blade:

Almost check. About a week ago I brought a pair and have been practising every morning. No amount of bruises on my arse will stop me from getting 'good'.
:)

Get good at Guitar Hero:

I actually began the impossible task today, with game-freak Teddy guiding me (I love you really). It's strange that I'm not better at it, considering the many years I played a guitar itself. No, instead I'm pretty laughable. Teddy's patience really is one of a saint's!

Read all the LOTR books:

Started in Turkey, I managed to read The Hobbit and most of The Fellowship of the ring. And then I got home and had a LOTR film marathon and totally spoiled the ending.

Keep a dream diary for a month:

Starts tomorrow. Or tonight, depending how you look at it. I'll be making the dreams public and putting them on blogspot under a different blog, so look out for it on my profile! My idea of a dream diary actually came from drama, when our teacher asked us to keep one as a method for coming up with plots and characters. A pretty cool idea if you ask me...
Now, alot of people say that there's nothing interesting in hearing someone drown on about their dreams. I think bullshit. They're fascinating! They come from a part of your mind that we can never truly understand, no matter how much research. The possiblitlies of what they could ever mean or intend are endless, which I personally find quite scary.
Dream's are cool...

Go paragliding: check

So I'm back from holiday, and after a week of meaning to put up photo's i still haven't - that's my time keeping for you! They will be up soon though, and trust me- they are worth looking at if you've had a bad day. Turkey was amazing and extremely hot for those of you living in a cardboard box, but, unlike any normal person, my skin didn't react one bit and I remain an albino. I didn't even burn...
Paragliding. Was. Awful. Keep in mind that I have a deadly fear of water (hence a great obstacle in enjoying beautiful views and buckets of adrenaline), and that Turkish men are mean. Seriously, if I say don't drop me in the water - DON'T DROP ME IN THE WATER!
I can't say I'm not glad I didn't do it. In fact I felt really good after, like I was invincible after overcoming a massive fear.
Still, never again.

Eat a whole chicken: check

Again the pictures are delayed, but I didn't want to put off blogging any more because before you know it I would have forgotten.
A whole chicken!
I could have had a dessert if I'm honest...
