Mundane Midweek (ballet)

Today I am really not feeling great. I really don't know how to explain it but I am going to attempt to try. First let me explain the title of this post. I do realise it is not midweek however I would definitely describe my day as mundane, with a side of emotional. The idea of a post to rant about an average or dull, terrible day was created by Charlotte and I just really like the idea of it, so click here for a far better explanation of what it actually is.

Occasionally I do like to use my blog to document my emotions and I do find it very therapeutic. However I have to be careful because of who reads my blog and because I do not want to seem ridiculous and irrational (although with my emotions and my thought process I'm sure this is inevitable). 

For the past couple of weeks I have been feeling slightly down but it's ok. I am often quite good at just getting on with things and ignoring how I'm feeling, however work is really beginning to get to me and I'm feeling slightly helpless. Because of my current headless chicken type state I have decided to quit ballet. To many people it will sound absolutely ridiculous that this is such a big deal to me but it really is. Making this decision has been so draining and almost impossible as both sides to me are a lose lose. If I carry on I'll be exhausted all the time, have to rush my work and be even more emotionally and physically run down than I am. But if I quit I'm really going to miss it and in the future I'm going to look back and really regret giving up. Right now I just feel like school work is more important. I really want to do well this year in school. I go to a very very very academic school and I always feel that I am no way near the standard of everyone around me. If I put in hard work on Monday and Wednesday evenings, that I now have back from not doing ballet, I will hopefully feel more on top of my work and not panic whenever I have a moment to actually think about what's going on. 

I'm really really sad about stopping ballet, I really am. But I just think right now school should be the priority. I can't tell if I've made the right decision and I'm already filled with regret but I guess that was inevitable. 

Sorry if you hated this post, here a picture of a dog in a horse mask -

Update

(Feeling extrememely stressed and down lately and a bit of Bombay Bicycle Club always seems to calm me down)


Just a quick update on my life as I feel I haven't posted in a while, even though it really hasn't been very long. Haven't been up to much really but IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW. Instead of writing a boring post I'll just post a few pictures of what's been going on -

Today (wearing my new chord pini) I went into town with my friend Lucia to go see the Tyler Shields photography exhibition. I wasn't allowed to take photos inside the exhibition but I took a few (featuring Lucia) outside -

Last proper day of half term well spent. Now only two days left, and since it's the weekend they don't entirely count. I have no plans tomorrow so I will probably just be spending the whole day watching One Tree Hill in my onsie. I know what you're thinking, wow she's so cool, I wish I was her bla bla bla. And to that I say - 

One last thing; today when I was getting the tube home I kept seeing posters for a new film called The Guilt Trip which I'd never seen. Obviously I was immediately drawn to the posters as the stars of the movie are two of my favourite people; Barbra Streisand (the incredible) and Seth Rogen. As soon as I got home I watched the trailer and it looks fantastic. I cannot wait to see it! Here's the trailer -
Adios, besos.

Half Term So Far




Listen to this while reading this post (these songs have been in my head all week) -

(The dancing in this season of Glee is absolutely fantastic, I LOVE ZACH WOODLEE)

Incase you hate Glee here are two other options (or you can of course listen to all four) -

Right, so half term so far has been pretty busy and fun (even though I have had a tutor for two hours almost every morning). I've already done a post on my new hair so other than getting my hair dyed I have been doing a lot of shopping. My brother is away in Germany playing tennis so my house has been extremely quiet. The last day of the half term at my school was own clothes day and I wore my new Topshop top (yay to wearing new clothes) -

Levi jeans
The next day my parents and I dropped my brother and his coach off at the station and then went shopping. After shopping I met up with some friends and went to the hairdressers followed by an early dinner at Wagamama.
