Outward Bound

Outward Bound is this amazing thing, if you ever get the Chance do it. Its basically a trip that lasts a week and during that time you do lots of activities and on one of the days you go camping.  I wasn't really sure if I wanted to go as it was for one week but I was like I'm not going to get a chance to go away with my friends for a week again because we're going to different universities so I might as well just go now. And as the time came I realised I wasn't very excited to go either. But I got through this and still went and can I say I'm glad I went.

On the first day we did this activity called walking in the gauge which was basically a stream that we had to walk up. So this was a trust exercise and we had to be blind folded. There were three people who weren't blind folded and they had to guide the whole group up the stream and there were around 10 people in my group. This was scary if I slipped it would have hurt but luckily I never. However, my teacher did and it was soo funny. Anyways while I was climbing blind folded guided by my friend she forgot to tell me to stop walking and I nearly fall. So when it was her turn to be blind folded her head "accidentally" banged into the tree which was very funny. But she realised I did it on purpose and just laughed.

Moving on the next day was we did small activities but one just killed me with embarrassment. We had to get on a boat which took use to sea then jump in and swim to the shore.  Sounds simple doesn't it, but when you can't swim this is your worst enemy. Everyone was like its okay you'll be able to do it so I tried and I am NEVER jumping into the sea again. I basically doggy paddled nearly all the way until the water started to take me with it and I panicked.  This made me feel like I was drowning and I was calling my friend to come and help me. In other words I was screaming.  But what do you expect I was blimming scared I thought I was going to die.  Then my friend goes just stand up. She stood there while I was screaming then tells me to stand up. This was literally so embarrassing. And I'll leave that story there.

On Wednesday we were packing to go on the mini expedition.  When we started it was fine until we came upon a never ending mountain and I mean it was never ending. And once we got up we had to climb back down it to get to the camp, like what was the point of it. So yeah we camped over night and the food was horrible so my friends and I lived of lollipops and chocolate for day. The best bit about this was that we got to canoe back. This is what our Wednesday and Thursday consisted of.

Friday was the day we were leaving and I realised just how much I like it there and didn't want to go home. If I never mentioned it before we went to Wales. We had one last activity to do before we left and it was called a trapeze and this was like a big pole you climb up and jump of and grab the small pole. It didn't really look scary but once I was up there I wished I'd never climbed it in the first place.

So I've just shared a really embarrassing story about me hope you enjoyed reading it. 

P.s I would have put up some pictures but they're on my friends USB sorry.

This recipe I have to say I love. I made these cookies for the first time and they turned out perfectly and me baking something for the first time perfectly, let's just say doesn't happen often. Anyway once again this is a recipe from the one and only Tanya Burr. I recently purchased her book, and yes I know I'm late but I didn't want to buy any books until I finished my exams, so yeah this recipe is from this book.  So let's get started~ You will need: 300g caster sugar  200g butter 325g self raising flour 200g milk chocolate 200g white chocolate 1 egg Milk but this is optional  1) First pre-heat the oven at 200 degrees Celsius. 2) Mix the sugar and butter together until it has a creamy consistency. 3) Add the egg and mix. 4) Slowly add the flour so it mixes properly. 5) So if you think your mixture is to dry just add a dash of milk or if it's to sticky add a little flour  6) Then add in all the broken chocolate and role ...

Down Memory Lane

Hey guys, so today I thought I'd go down memory lane and just recall some of the best shows from my childhood. It's not like I'm that old now, I'm only 18. Anyways let's start, when I was in year 7, I remember watching these shows every Friday after school. I would finish at 1:30 and my friend and I would just sit there watching these shows one after the other. Some of these include Lizzie Mcguire and That's so Raven. They were literally my life I loved them soo much. I could sit there for hours and hours watching different episodes. Then came along shows like Zack an Cody, Wizards of Waverly Place, Hannah Montana plus many more. These were the best shows ever in my opinion and they were actually my life. I still remember getting upset when they ended. But I don't understand how we can form a bond with a TV show. Anyways, can I say these shows were amazing and Disney channel don't even have shows like these anymore.  That's it for this week...

EXAMS!!

Image
Okay, so exams are getting closer and day by day I'm getting more and more stressed. There are literally only two months left till my exams start and I think I'm starting to go crazy. Time is going by soo fast and it frustrates me. The exams I'm sitting are some of the most important exams I will ever sit and can I say they are flipping hard. The jump between GCSE's and A-levels is massive and if you don't study you will fail. Trust me I'm speaking from experience and because of the lack of motivation I had I am now retaking some of my As exams. It's not really a great situation to be in as you have the stress from A2 exams as well as As and it's not a nice feeling. On top of that universities want a specific grade and if thats not achieved I actually don't know what I'm going to do. So if you're someone who's taking their GCSE'S or doing some other sort of exam please study hard. Before you know it your exams will be round the c...
