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

Yo dudes, how's it hanging? Stuff has been happening in my life, I guess.

School's out and it feels like spring is forcing its way into our lives - it's long overdue. The weather was great today, so have some pretty things caused by the sun.

Even the cats were taking advantage of the warmth!

So, first day of the holidays. It's been a busy weekend; I came home from school on Friday and had to wash my hair before going to a maths tutor, and after that scrambled to a party. We had to leave early due to my ride being a bit ill but it wasn't a horrible night. After staying over at hers we watched the newest episode of Hannibal - cue screaming - and lazed about. 

That evening I had a date and it was pretty lovely. We went to some indie café where they had non-branded and over-priced cola and I'm pretty sure there was hemp hanging from the ceiling - but we sat in a corner surrounded by glass and the sun streaming in and talked for over an hour. We stayed too long so there weren't enough seats in the small cinema we had planned on going to but we hopped on a bus and went to a larger one in town and saw Noah instead of The Grand Budapest Hotel as previously planned. It wasn't as awful as the reviews said and the visuals are pretty amazing, and we had a running commentary through out which was fun ('I do not want to see Hermione give fake birth!'). I was back a bit late and had to babysit my sister when I got back but I had a great time.

Am loving Sky Ferreira at the moment, and I'm so feeling this song 

I'm meeting up with a friend tomorrow and really need to settle down to some revision. It feels a bit wrong forcing myself to work during the holiday but what can you do? Exams are so close it's scary, I'm woefully under-prepared at the moment. I need some decent motivation - somehow the fact that these exam results will dictate my entire life and affect my uni choices and career isn't quite doing it for me. Despite that I've been feeling good mentally - but maybe that's just the dopamine. 

I love this song at the moment - it's quietly happy (and irritatingly catchy). 

Hope you guys have a good Easter,
