Here comes the sun

Yo dudes, how's it going?

I am finally on February break from school, which so far has been great. For some reason my school's holiday is a week earlier than everyone else's, but I'm not complaining. 

Today I finished writing my script for the course I'm going on next week - it's a bit convoluted and over 2000 words but I'll be doing a lot of editing whilst I'm down there. At the end of the week there's a showcase of our finished scripts with a read-through by actors, so I hope mine will be up to scratch!

I think winter is starting to leave now, and I'm glad. I've been hyper aware that the days have been getting longer, which has led to seeing some amazing skies recently and general pretty views. My mum also got a phone upgrade, so I got her old iPhone 5, which has a fantastic camera in comparison to my old version 4. 

As some of you may know, I am in my last year at a Scottish secondary school, so I am in sixth year. As a sixth year we have a special area, which consists of the year teacher's offices, a common room (with a second hand xbox and pool table), a study room (which has desks and computers) as well as a teeny tiny kitchen, that is comprised of a sink, a microwave and a water boiler. I have spent most of my year so far in there, drinking instant coffee with too much sugar in it. 

I've been trying to take lots of photos with my new phone, so here are some of the study room one early morning.

(that's a custard cream btw) (lol)

It's cute, the study room is covered in the hand prints of former sixth years. The windows need a bit of a clean but its always nice and cosy in there.

I've also been taking advantage of the light on buses - I always sit near the back to limit the amount of people who see me taking random pictures but sometimes it looks so nice you have to do it anyway.

Photo taken off my insta, I am too obsessed with Frank Ocean lately.

I've been finishing work at a nice time too now; people are just starting to head home after a day out or are just starting to come out for evening meals. On my walk to the bus on this particular day almost everyone was stopping to take pictures - you can't see it very well here but if you looked down the road adjacent to this one, it looked like the sky was on fire in the distance.

This week I need to try and get some work done on my photography project for school, but who knows how that'll go. I'm wanting to source a nice notepad that has no lines too, so I can start journalling in earnest now that I've finally got some free time.

What's the sitch at your schools on stuff like common rooms? It's been different everywhere when I've asked friends so it would be cool to hear about yours.

Hope your week is going well so far,

Love Kit x

tooOOoo many feelings

Hello sweeties, how is life treating you? It's currently half past midnight and a school night for me. Things are wobbly. 

It's odd. I feel like summer is brushing against my fingertips, tantalizingly close and yet still out of reach. I cannot wait for the complete absence of any responsibility whatsoever and hopefully not-awful weather. My last exam is this Friday. I hope it goes well but also I do not care at all about anything so can't wait to be done with it all. I don't get it, myself - there are too many hormones and thoughts and feelings and aches and voices whizzing around my body that I feel entirely unprepared to take exams that will define my life and make choices that are going to be my future. 

Unlike many young people and like many others, I don't really.. thrive on any of my subjects at school. There's nothing I excel at, nothing I'm known for that can be quantified or summarized with a grade on a sheet of paper. I feel intelligent, but my results don't reflect how I feel. Am I dumb, or not good at taking exams? Am I bad at most academic things, or do I set my standard unrealistically high? Am I mentally stable enough to deal with the chemicals flooding my body whilst planning my life path or will I burn out? idk.

Aside from all that Teen Angst, I made a wee playlist thing with some songs I've been obsessed with. Excuse the duvet cover that is literally older than me.

I also thought I'd document my Wreck It Journal on here that I got in London. I only started it recently but these are a couple of my favourite pages. 

This was so insanely relaxing to do. Just put on some really loud music and find a nice pen and circle stuff till your heart's content.

I also did the 'draw with glue' page. I know it's all blurry but the glitter was so pretty and looked a lot less interesting when it was completely focused. Look how calming it all looks!

Also I got these adorable shoes I gotta show you guys. They were only six quid and every time I internet window-shop I see places selling them for so much more and feel so smug.

I'm pretty sure I had a pink pair with flowers on them when I was about four but whatever, I love em.

I will always be in love with this song by Lorde, and I don't get why there isn't enough hype about it. It's not available on itunes and there are no official music videos for it. I love this one though - it's stuff like this that really hypes me up about film making and lighting and mise en scene and all that jazz.

Speaking of film making, I finally put the dumb short film we made on youtube. It's been on vimeo for a while but I think it's safe to say most people use youtube a lot more. I'm mad because I can't choose the thumbnail for some reason but I'll sort it out later. Enjoy!

it's being weird and not letting me show it as a video but here's a link mwa

Ok so before I fall asleep on my laptop, I'll see y'all later. I'm thinking 1am blogging is productive blogging. PEACE OUT
