Concrete City
You might think London is a concrete city, but I am proud to say I found a pond thing to boat in.
In the news of other things I am proud of, I won a writing competition that took me to London in the first place. What with me wanting to be a writer and all, that was an inspiration boost that reminded me people can make a living from writing. (With the speed I have been blogging at recently, I would not expect to even raise the funds needed to buy multipack underwear.) So, it's taken a while for me to manifest the enthusiasm, but I am rollin' with the punches again.
Sometimes people give out sheets with grades on and it's rather like a Christmas in the middle of the year, dependant on you being bad or good (so be good for goodness sake!🎶)- I must've been on the straight and narrow for the most part. Celebrations all around! Another exam I worked on was called English Speaking Board (ESB), which aims to develop communication skills and to improve speeches, recitals and other such things. For the first year in the four I have worked on ESB, I reached a pass with Distinction. Originally, I had considered just relaxing instead of working on something so stressful, but I have no regrets now. I was so happy! Admittedly, a little smug for ending on a high, but I shall allow myself the luxury just this once...
One more educational summer update- I became a limited edition Reading Activist, only for the summer of 2014, to date. The experience has already proved useful, what with all the different activities I helped with; the people I have met; and the experience and confidence it gave me.
I hope you all had a great summer, and thanks for reading! Comment with something you were proud of this summer, or just something you really enjoyed. :)
Love, E.R x
