Mood: Energized, yet ill. I have the most contradicting moods!

I’m back and so is the site in all its former glory. *Hugs screen* I’ve uploaded all the pages, and I’ve got some things to do on the Content page, but apart from that everything is back up.

A few blogs ago I was asked about the pictures of my day I had – I used a Smena 8M film camera with 35mm film which had an ISO of 200. I hope that helps! I didn’t edit them on Photoshop or anything, and I got them developed at ASDA.
I stick my pictures up on my wall, like a massive strip of them. I don’t have any pictures of it at the moment (as I’m currently sorting out my room and the place is a tip haha) but I’ll upload some sooner or later.

In my last blog I also mentioned briefly about me losing (and finding!) my ‘free condom card’. Take Control is a free condoms scheme in the UK which provides teenagers a free card to get free condoms at youth centers and family planning clinics. It’s an effort to lower to rate of teenage pregnancies in the UK, as I think we’re the highest in Europe. 5 of my friends (same age as me roughly) are having/had babies within the past year, which is kind of shocking.

So anyway, I’ve got a pretty serious water infection at the moment, which has worsened today. Warning, if you are squeemish or don’t like reading anything about water infections, please skip this paragraph! I’ve had it since Wednesday, where it was just a slight soreness which I’d feel coming to the end of my pee – now when I went to the toilet this morning, it was unbearable, and there was also blood there too. I’ve been drinking loads of cranberry juice and water since Wednesday, so I don’t think that’s working. I peed on a strange stick with squares on which indicate what’s in your urine, and according to my dad (he’s a pediatrician – looks after children) there was trace ammounts of protein and white blood cells which could indicate my body is fighting an infection. I’ve just had a Cystitus sachet, which you mix in with water and drink, so I’ll see how that goes. I’m going to book an emergency appointment at the doctors tomorrow, emergency because of the pain being so bad. I’ll let you know how it goes. Feel free to read on if you’ve skipped the paragraph.

I go back to College tomorrow also, which weirdly enough, I’m quite excited for! Haha.

This is going to be a very mixed post, but it’s going to mostly highs rather than lows, but the low part is still a bit of a kick in the balls.

I finished all of my photography work this afternoon! So I’m pretty happy right now! It’s a load off my mind, and now I have more time to focus on my English revision for my exam on the 23rd May. I also have some more time to do my Art, which has been sorted out now, and I know exactly what I need to do to make my work better. It may not get me the A I was planning on, but it’ll make my work a solid/high B, which I can’t complain about.

Talking about Art, I’ve also applied to go on an Art Course to Italy in October 2011. Only 3 students per college get in the course, and only three of us applied haha. To get a place for definate you have to go through an interview and have a strong portfolio of work, both personal (drawings you do for leisure) and work based (college work). Apparantly you have to speak a little Italian to the interviewers too, so I’m stuck on that haha. If anyone knows any simple Italian sentences, it’d be a massive help.

Now for the low part: My boyfriend Ben is going away for a month on work experience from June 1st to June 30th – he’s in South Wales in the bottom of a valley too so there will probably be no phone signal either to talk to him (that’s if he’s got a phone by then, he lost his phone at a party a few days ago. ) It’ll be the first time he’s been away for this long, he’s been away for 2 weeks at a time, but that was a few months into our relationship and I don’t think we were as close as we are now. I was talking to him about it and he said it might do us both some good to have some time physically apart from each other, it might make us less dependent on each other.

And I’ve just realised we have 3 weeks left together until he goes away. And next week is our 1year and a half mark. And I’ve lost my free condoms card. Wait, nevermind, I remembered I got a new one.

Thanks again for the comments! :3
