It was a love worth remembering



Top moments with GF:

-He asks me and my sister out to make up for the way he acted the previous night. We go to the Coop and he gets a bottle of Rose and a bottle opener and a packet of chips. At the checkout, my sister and I insist on giving him some money and he says, "Ooh I like that." We take our purchases and go to an "island" and have a picnic. There is still snow on the ground and I have my first ever snowball fight. Conversation is at its best and life has never felt lighter.
-We go to see C2C, a French turntable group that he introduced me to. We manage to position ourselves in one of the first rows and we have a very good view. He catches a CD that the support act throw into the audience and gives it to me. C2C play our favourite songs and we dance and sing along. We leave just before they finish so as to not get stuck in the crowd. As we drive over the bridge, 'Don't Stop Me Now' plays and I bellow the lyrics at the top of my voice. "Lau," he says as he looks into my eyes, "I hope you realise that you're my friend by now."
-We are in his basement and full of wine. It's dark and Canon in D Major is playing in the background. We dance in circles and I feel his heart beating against me.
-I finish French and he picks me up. It's a glorious day; I haven't seen that much sunshine in months. We speed along the lake road, playing our favourite songs at a very high volume. We stop in Morges (I struggle to pronounce the name of the town and he takes great pleasure in this) and walk between rows of tulips and the seemingly endless body of water. We sit on the rocks and drink wine and talk about anything and everything. He tells me about his childhood and the first girl he ever loved. I spend the whole time in awe of the view; I have fallen deeply in love with Switzerland.

I went onto my best friend's blog and looked up what they had tagged to my name and this is what I found.



It was exactly what I needed. Thank you, Padfoot, thank you.

there will be no positives tonight

Everything feels wrong. I had to stare at the 'iv' in 'positives' for such a long time because it looked so unfamiliar. I just want to have something to be excited for, something to work towards. Everything seems either impossible or undesirable. I don't want to sit my exams, I know I'm not ready. I know they shouldn't be awful (other than chemistry) and that there will be people who do worse than me but I just really wish they could have been an achievement; something I was proud of. I don't even really want for exams to be over, because what comes afterwards is so daunting. I don't want to go to a university that I don't know and study something that I have no idea if I'll like, I don't want to leave all my friends and routine behind and live in a foreign country with only my parents and my negative attitude to keep me company, I don't want to stay in a big house with my brother and sister and random room-mates and work some horrible job. I don't want to be younger than everyone but I don't want to be an adult. I don't want responsibility, I don't want endless freedom. Worst of all, I don't know what I want.

This is all wrong

It's officially a month until my first written examination. I'm so close to something that will determine my future and knowing that, it's really scary. I'm behind in my subjects so I can't even start on my revision and right now everything seems impossible.
I don't understand Markov Chains or equilibrium shifts, I haven't done the exercises for vector calculus or kinematics, I have no hope of being able to talk about immigration in my Italian oral and my English Language teacher likes my writing style but that doesn't mean my examiner will.

Yesterday I found out that a boy that I guess I sort of dated died in a motorcycle accident. I didn't know how to feel about it, at first I felt nothing but shocked but last night the tears started to spill. I don't really feel right talking about it on here but the thoughts that I had felt wrong, I am ashamed of myself.

I am constantly wishing that I could go back moments, hours, days, years before. I seem to only ever make the wrong choices and I get annoyed at myself for it but I don't fix it. I don't learn from my mistakes. I just really wish that I could have worked hard enough to be proud of my results this year, but now I've left it too late. Hopefully, I at least do the best of what I can with what I've left for myself.
