JULY
July was a very busy month! The summer holidays had just begun, and we celebrated my gorgeous little cousins Leo and Jayden's 2nd and 7th birthdays. I also went on a family holiday to Corralejo, Fuerteventura, which was amazing and definitely needed! At the end of July, some of my closest friends and family joined me on a sponsored walk across the Forth Road Bridge, sporting our best costumes and comfiest walking shoes. It was a lovely afternoon, and the support I received from not only those who came along, but people who donated and sent their luck and best wishes, was incredible. I'll write a more in depth blog post about that though as soon as we have a final total of money to send away to YoungMinds.
AUGUST
August was the month I received my SQA Higher exam results. I ended up doing a lot better than I expected, achieving AAABC. I was over the moon, and so were the family, friends and teachers that supported me so significantly in my school year. I made the most of the last few weeks of the school holidays, spending time with my friends, and at the end of the month I attended my first official university open day. Me and Shanice set off to visit Dundee university, which is one of my choices for applying next month. We tagged along on a campus tour, and attended two of the talks (one of which was by accident!) Then we treated ourselves to a nice lunch, and it was a very exciting day that made me look forward to what the future has to hold!
SEPTEMBER
September has been my favourite month yet, and this is probably due to the fact that it's my birthday month. On the 3rd of September, my actual birthday, I had to go to school. On multiple occasions, my friends sang happy birthday and did their best to embarrass me, however I was in such a good mood that they never really succeeded. After school, I spent time with my family and three best friends, and was spoiled with lots of amazing presents from all of them. The weekend after my birthday, I had a party. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my birthday weekend than with my closest friends. I had such a good night, and hopefully everybody else did too. September is also the birthday month of my mum (who looks fab for 40!) and my gran, so there was lots of cake and birthday celebrations during the month. I did a few other minor things, like make myself a photo wall with all my favourite photos from this year so far, and go to Edinburgh university open day with Rachel and Abbie, and our lovely mamas too. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, on the very last day of September, I came home to a surprise awaiting me. He goes by the name Dougal, an eight week old Bichon Frise, and is our newest addition to the family. I LOVE HIM!
Thank you for reading, and sorry for being gone for so long. I hope your summer was as good as mine. I'm excited about the autumn and winter months that are fast approaching, and be prepared for Halloween and Christmas posts coming your way! Much love xxx
