January Blues... yay or nay?

It's been a very busy January! (into February). Just listing a few:

• Work. I am a high school student but my Sunday job is at a stables which homes (give or take) sixteen horses. It is extremely cold in the mornings when I have to fill up water buckets and it has began to give me very sore hands!
• Handing in 15% of my music GCSE...
• Prepping for 15% of my German GCSE, which I will be sitting tomorrow.
• And realising that my Science GCSE's are in ten weeks time! It was so kindly pointed out to me by my teacher that if I fail these, I will fail in life- even though I hate science and want nothing to do with it when I am older. Where is the logic?

On top of all that I've been spending Saturdays in town and nights at parties, and baby sitting.

Trying on clothes in H&M. Loved that jacket so much! It was really different and had a lot of paisley print, but it was £40... my friends had to drag me away, thanks guys.

My first costa! Wow that day was filled with firsts! My first time going into town with the girls that didn't involve the cinema, first costa, first time into lush which led to my first bath bomb, and buying my first blusher.

Last Saturday, which was the 31st I think, I attended my very first party. That sounds really bad! I have been to parties- I'm not that unpopular. When you get to high school it soon becomes very clear who the popular kids are- because it turns out that no one likes them- and that is where the parties occur. In my circle of friends we have a sleepover or go out to the cinema to celebrate another year passing, but not this time!
A new girl- who seems really nice! but I don't know her that well- invited me to her party/disco/buffet/dance. When I first arrived there were clusters of people just milling around. My eyes immediately found the cute tumblr-like glasses filled with chocolate, strawberry and banana milkshakes (throughout the night I had many).

 

My friend and I danced the whole night to the likes of Meghan Trainor, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry and Footloose and Greece (by my recommendation of course!). I was so tired and then I realised that in the morning I had to get up and scoop through horse poo! It wasn't a great feeling...

 

How have your Januarys been? Busy or dreary? Did you let those mean ol' blues get to you?

 

Much love and chocolate milkshake, Sophie xoxo
