Editing

Hey guys.
Today I had the best lie in ever, 12 o clock (midday) it cannot get better than that! I think I slept a good ten hours! Obviously the drawback is I slept most of the day away but I do feel so much better for it, as lately I have been feel exhausted.
For the past few hours I have been editing film footage, as you guys know I do Film Studies and for my coursework I have decided to do a film. Mine is basically about toddlers, and how they're happy and basically how they aren't influenced like we adults are. I'm not even nearly finished, I have the first minute sort of edited, it has to be two minutes long, but I haven't even finished cropping bits, adding text and of course the audio, which I fear the audio may take the longest!
I am putting in the work though, it will be my first ever film I've made. I'm not expecting a masterpiece of course but I hope it isn't my last film I make. In the future when I get better and become more accustomed to the whole thing I think I will make more short films in the future. I've been watching many short films lately and they're so meaningful and well put together. I want to try more out, so I think when the Summer comes along I plan on filming a lot!
Due to this current film I'm making being coursework I'm not sure if or when I will be able to post it for you guys.
So yeah today for me completely film based, hopefully I can get everything or at least the majority of it done today and then maybe read several chapters of Great Expectations!
Also quickly, since one of my resolutions was to be healthier,  today I made the first step, I am decided to only drink water, unless I'm really cold and I am allowing myself one cup of tea with sweeteners instead of sugar!
I think I will be posting more recycle poetry within the next couple of days too, so look for them!

First Day

So today was my first day starting my new sixth form. It went amazingly well, perhaps the best first day I could have asked for. I genuinely enjoyed my lessons I was focused and not once did I loose an ounce of interest. I only did Film Studies and English Lit&Lang, they were great. Everyone was friendly and I'm happy. I feel hopeful and determined!

Best For Me

I'm all about change lately, first I will explain why and the build up to my most recent change. On the 10th of September I started year 13 in sixth form, and well between me and you it didn't go well. There was talk of English Lit being stopped, and well I was told to think of another option. I was devastated, English is my passion as you guys know. 

So Friday came along, my tutor had a meeting to find out the deal and English had definitely been stopped. Which was annoying as I had already done my first year, only to be told I can longer continue it. Disheartening, I basically let myself be talked into another subject. Which I was told to produce work for over the weekend (I worked my ass off) so Monday comes along and I realize that I miss English, genuinely miss it but I just went on. This new subject teacher basically told me all the work I did over the weekend wasn't what she wanted and told me to produce something else for the following day. Can you imagine how annoyed I felt. 

I did spend the night drawing and what not, and fast forward to this morning. Where I realized the only reason I went to college was for English, and it is something I want to do, and I had a breakdown, to be honest I felt let down. If I had known this was going to happen I would have went to a completely different college. I had enough, and I know English is my passion and I shouldn't have to be forced not to pursue it. My parents were being so supportive, my mother made me take the day off she rang up telling them how much the college let me down especially since I had been promised at the end of last year that there will be an English course to return to. 

My parents suggested that I looked for a new college, I was a little wary I mean this is packing my whole life up I have known my sixth form for 6 years now (due to is being a part of my high school) my mam told me to look online and what not. I found a college that interested in me,the courses seemed appealing but being my nervous self I had concerns. My parents talked me into calling the college and seeing what the deal is, I asked if it was possible to attend for one subject and carry on my other two with my original sixth form, which turned out to not be an option. However, they got me thinking and they suggested I changed sixth form completely and I was welcome to come in for a meeting. 

I had a change of heart, I found myself feeling excited so I looked into the courses and was more than happy. They offered much more than my last, plus they offer a course I originally wanted to do which was English Lit and Lang. I felt ready to move on with my old sixth form, and I was eager for my possible new one. So I went to the meeting only to fall in love with the whole sixth form, the vibes were amazing, and I enrolled immediately. I have never felt so ready and willing for change ever in my life.I know it means not seeing my best friends as much as I do but I have  to do what is best for me. For once I wasn't going to allow my future to be in someone elses hands.Today I took control and did what was best for me. I will be restarting my AS levels, my subjects are now English Lit&Lang, Media Studies and Film Studies. Tomorrow is my first day and I am excited and ready to take control.

Never stop chasing your passion, whatever you do make sure you stay true to yourself
