My Strange Little Lobster

*cough* excuse the teenage and soppy nature of this blog post....

So the handsome beast that is trying to eat me in the rather stunning photo to the left is my slave, sorry i mean boyfriend.Only joking our relationship is totally equal and we do just the same amount for each other, or at least that is what he thinks ;) 

Honestly in all seriousness he is probably one of the most important people in my life right now. Not only has he stuck around through my strange and rather mental ramblings he also helped me through one of the worst experiences in my life which was good for me but probably terrifying for him. About 4 months in to our relationship i was ridiculously ill right in the middle of both of our exam seasons and almost kind of died... yeah but that is another blog post for another time.

What's so amazing about this boy then that my silly little teenage mind felt like typing up this futile blog post?

He is possibly the nerdiest person i have ever met and makes me feel like i can like anything (especially K-pop, because well K-pop is awesome), he puts up with all of my nonsense and isn't afraid to tell me i'm being ridiculous, he makes the effort and most of is the most wonderful human being. Okay i admit i may not be the most enthralling person to be in a relationship with but just the fact he picked me keeps me smiling every day.

i will probably look back this someday and turn to my husband and say:
"aww look at me with my ex-boyfriend" ;)

Back to school

I realise that i have been rather distant but there aren't any of you here anyway....

So today marked an exciting and rather petrifying stage in my school career; I started Sixth Form. Yes that means i have the stress and pressure of completing AS and hopefully A levels, whilst trying to maintain my social life and love life along the way.

The first challenge came when i had to not only drag myself but also my boyfriend out of bed. However i skipped out the door filled with great expectations and a stomach full of butterflies.Throughout the day i felt like i was surrounded by stereotypical "teacher parrots" all filled with hubris as they declared that we all needed to "Hit the ground running". Despite the anticipation and irritation of starting a new (rather pivotal) school year the day went off without a hitch and after while it just felt like another average school day, resulting in me dragging my feet home, collapsing on my sofa and vegging out by watching T.V.

Although the initial excitement is still there and i will still find joy in taking a new leap in my school set-up, i realise that i will hit the earth in a few days, the school work will pile up and a stressed Elly will emerge. So i guess i should treasure my adrenaline rush and hope for the best in my two last years of school. Well before Uni anyway.

Letters in my phone

The written word is more powerful than anything and fortunately my friends and family know this too well. In order to fully communicate with me you have to write things down due to the fact my attention span is about 3 seconds. This has lead to a minuscule revolution in my phone case. Currently there are 5 notes in the back of my phone from friends and family. it is a simple idea but it is effective. They cheer me up and surprise me because i never know they are there until i stumble upon them. (even if it means my phone case often topples off)
