Jess' Summer Bucket List

Hi TSR...
I can't wait to get involved in this and hopefully make my longest summer yet a more productive one. So far I've literally done nothing apart from worry about exams and results day so this seems like a good way to unwind after the stress of GCSEs :tongue:

= done

= in progress
:s-smilie:

= not started

1. Get into photography more. :biggrin:

2. Redecorate my room. :colonhash:

So far the walls have been painted!
3. Read brave new world. :biggrin:

4. Read holding up the universe. :biggrin:

5. Read over the topics for my chosen a-levels to familiarise myself with the content :colonhash:

*realises I'm going to die*
6. Go and see spider-man homecoming. :biggrin:

7. Catch up on Gotham. :biggrin:

8. Finish The 100 :biggrin:

9. Attend a Zumba class. :biggrin:

10. Attend an aerobics class. :biggrin:

Update: I've been twice now! I literally nearly died because I decided to go on the warmest day of summer so yay me!
11. Have an amazing prom with my friends. :biggrin:

12. Get my ear lobes re-pierced and second lobes pierced. :s-smilie:

13. Get my hair cut shorter. :biggrin:

I have and I'm still not sure if I like it or not! 30/08/17: I have come to the conclusion that my hair isn't actually that short :tongue:

14. Explore Lanzarote (I've never been before so I'm hoping to go to the volcanoes) :biggrin:

15. Get my GCSE results and try not to cry. :biggrin:

As I write this it's a day until results day and I'm extremely stressed, running on little sleep and keep having nightmares. Is this normal haha?
16. Do some baking. :biggrin:

I've made raspberry muffins and scones so far and all I can say is pree Mary Berry for her bomb recipes (RIP original bake off)!
17. Buy more stationary (because I definitely don't have enough already) :biggrin:

I got pastel highlighters and they're the best things I've ever seen! 30/08/17: I bought a diary for the start of sixth form if that even counts as stationary!
18. Start to post on my blog again. :colonhash:

19. Write my CV :biggrin:

it only took me about two hours hahahah...
20. Celebrate getting my GCSE results :biggrin:

I went bowling with my friends and then for a meal with my family!

Lanzarote sounds amazing!!! I've never been, but volcanoes in general make for a good time. :biggrin:

Good luck with results day, I'm sure you've done much better than you think you have! <3

3) I'm around halfway through and can say that this book is a must read! It covers a range of thought provoking topics and i just find it so scary to imagine the potential of society actually becoming the same in the future!
