Your Five Factor Personality Profile

Extroversion: You have medium extroversion. You're not the life of the party, but you do show up for the party. Sometimes you are full of energy and open to new social experiences. But you also need to hibernate and enjoy your "down time." Conscientiousness: You have medium conscientiousness. You're generally good at balancing work and play. When you need to buckle down, you can usually get tasks done. But you've been known to goof off when you know you can get away with it. Agreeableness: You have high agreeableness. You are easy to get along with, and you value harmony highly. Helpful and generous, you are willing to compromise with almost anyone. You give people the benefit of the doubt and don't mind giving someone a second chance. Neuroticism: You have low neuroticism. You are very emotionally stable and mentally together. Only the greatest setbacks upset you, and you bounce back quickly. Overall, you are typically calm and relaxed - making others feel secure. Openness to experience: Your openness to new experiences is medium. You are generally broad minded when it come to new things. But if something crosses a moral line, there's no way you'll approve of it. You are suspicious of anything too wacky, though you do still consider creativity a virtue.

What Switchfoot thought of the London gig:

"after a lovely day off, we all headed over to shepherd's bush empire and checked out this historic venue. it seriously is one of the most objectively beautiful venues i've ever seen. ...the crowd was seriously the loudest and most enthusiastic i've ever heard. it was ridiculous, in the best sense of the word."

Set list:
stars
politicians
gone
we are one tonight
on fire
faust, midas, and myself
dirty second hands
this is your life
ammunition
american dream
awakening
learning to breathe
shadow proves the sunshine
oh! gravity
meant to live
only hope
dare you to move

The True You

You want your girlfriend or boyfriend to be more relaxed, calm, and composed. With respect to money, you spend as little as possible. You think good luck doesn't exist - reality is built on practicalities. The hidden side of your personality tends to be satisfied to care for things with a minimal amount of effort. You are tend to think about others' feelings a lot, perhaps because you are so eager to be liked. When it comes to finding a romantic partner, you base your search on information from your friends.

Who's The True You?

Hello folks

I am not enjoying this halfterm very much

i have to much work to do in not enough time

i am going out twice or three times in the whole thing

which is no where near enough

work is soo annoying

i literally cannot wait for this summer when exams are all over

i hate mocks

on the upside the list of party-tunes is almost completed

it will be A RAAAVE....i rele have taken all the musical genres and played at least one song in the whole of the night of my party

:D

i have to admit i drew the line at classical

but i'm allowed to exaggerate here

its my blog

i am too tired

invites will be winging their way to you when i get round to making them

the venue is smaller than was desired

(blame the mother, blame the mother!)

so will be squeezing as many of you peas in there as poss!!

altho to be fair the place hasn't officially been booked and what-not

so may still be able to invite many more of the peas i had hoped i would be able to!

*floats off into the lithosphere chanting ancient Egyptian tunes*

not that i can remember what the lithosphere is

but it sounds kwl enough!!

OMYGOSH!!

I LOVE SWITCHFOOT
A LOT
ALOT

the concert last night ws a-maaaaazing!!! they are soo gd live
so worth the 6 month wait
the support act "verra cruz" were rele kwl aswell.....fairly heavy...bt of course they jst didn't get the same crowd response as switchfoot!


when verra cruz had finished we tried to get nearer to the front but we jst gt majorly crushed so tht didn't last long for me as my sis doesn't like crowds at all and started feeling claustrophobic so i accompanied her to the middle/back again...hannah and hannah managed to stick it out for a bit at the front and then came back to join us coz being in a group is more fun!!


and me and hannah (w) got to sing lots and lots of our fave songs
while smiling like maniacs at each other
specially during
"Gone" and "Meant to Live" and me and hannah (l) flung our hairs around us like madmen
and a nice guy let us move forward a little bit


i swear all the guys there were at least 6"4
which posed a bit of a problem to us 5"andsomethings
indeed most of the ppl there were around 20 (or older)
bt then switchfoot have been around for 10 years now so it all works out in the end!!


they played sooo many good songs (but really they should have stayed all night and played every single song just to cover all the different options!)
and they played the song with the lyrics used in my previous blog title "Only Hope" also known as the Mandy Moore song in "A Walk to Remember"
which i wasn't expecting them to....
which was nice
they played "Dare You To Move" to finish
just like i knew they would

:D :D
it makes me feel uber-excited jst thinking about it :D


boy, how on earth am i gonna manage to find a better 18th birthday pressie for hannah???
i think it might be impossible but we shall have to see!


wow i haven't blogged for a while (again!)
i don't intentionally do this as a weekly(ish) thing
i guess it just kinda happens

i have a lot of psychology to do before friday
but hopefully *crosses fingers and toes* school will be cancelled tomorrow due to snowage and i will be able to do lots of lovely work - once the excitement has worn off and i've had a good few snowball fights that is!!

i've bought a lot of work home from school with me to cover all eventualities (look at me being all organised - not!)

yes, other things that have happened today......drama exam was okay

*yay switchfoot is now playing on media player (not one they played last night incidentally) but still excuse me while i smile manically and go giddy with happy remembered memories*

hehe. this phase will blow over eventually i promise......the night exceeded my expectations (tho not too sure exactly what my expectations were!) which half explains my excitement!!!

errr yea where was i
yes
drama
was ok but a bit scary
downey left 2minutes after i arrived without her usual pre-exam telling me off for forgetting something and telling me to tidy myself up coz she was ill
so this perturbed me somewhat coz i'm used to last minute encouragement/criticism (more of the latter methinks!!)


then i went into the exam room and i got hugged by old, wrinkly, twitchy examiner (although i didn't exactly notice the twitch this time....maybe he's had botox to relax the muscle...wouldn't surprise me!)
which freaked me out and he said how it was good to see me and how good i looked (to be honest the "you look good" line has been used ever since year 10 so that wasn't too out of the ordinary)


then i got on and did my pieces, fluffed up the third one slightly, which is unusual coz i normally manage to pull these things off when i'm in the exam situation, think i was unconsciously trying to gt my head round things.....
then discussed my pieces
but then he hugged me on the way out
*shudders*
he would never have done that if downey was there (i hope)
for once in my life i actually wanted downey around
and i sincerely that is one of the last times those words escape my mouth (or, in this case, fingers)

he better pass me after that experience
eurgh
eurgh
eurgh
i'm gonna stop talking about it now
its giving me the heebie-jeebies.......gotta get rid of them

*thinks of switchfoot concert*
ok there we go
all better!!


going to go and eat

toodle pip!!

When it feels like my dreams are so far, sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again. And I lift my hands and pray To be only yours

Sorry to the ishmael for not blogging
things have been craazy times
i have so many emails to write it is
silly

tuesday and weds were good times
i think
i'm not sure
but i'm not going to focus on them.....

i'm going to focus on the day which was today
and by that i mean
my INTERVIEW

yes for those of you who were not aware, the ppl at UEA very nicely decided to give me an interview
so on wednesday afternoon my mother and i trundled off
through the london rushhour :S
to get to norwich
is rather a tedious journey - of abt 5 hrs on the train - on the way there i spent most of the time with my nose buried in january's edition of the studentBMJ (british medical journal)
in the hope that i would be asked a question about something i was reading (which i wasn't)
i also read my personal statement in the hope that they would have read it and be planning to quiz me on it (which i had been told they most definitely didn't do...bt it gave me something to read and distract myself with.....it also helped me to remember all the things that make me an amazing student.....)

my mother was very supportive and also very frustrating in other parts - but for the most part she stopped me from panicking and hyperventilating the night/morning before, navigated us safely through london and norwich (although i had to educate her in how to use some of the ticket barriers at tube/train stations....) and let me buy stuff with her money instead of mine.....which is good in any teenagers book.....

trying to find the building my interview was in was a stressful experience....we had been told it was a "good" 20 minute walk from our B&B so we set off with 30/35 minutes of time
bcoz i was abit anxious to make sure i gave off a gd msg by being punctual
so 25mins later we were nearly there...and i felt like screaming because we'd been told various conflicting messages about how to get to this place (and although by this time we were actually following signs) i felt like i was walking while not actually going anywhere (it was a very odd feeling because i knew that i was moving....i know you're all now worried for my mental health..which tbh you should have been doing for sumtime anywys....but by all accounts it was a truly angering experience)

i arrived by the skin of my teeth (where on earth does that expression come from?? i dont have skin on my teeth....i think i'm missing the point) only to find that they were running late - which made me more frustrated but kinda let me relax for a minute or two
my face felt like a red tomato
luckily it didn't look like one....i checked jst in case.....

then waited in awkward silence with ppl who i could have sworn were all already 21
they all asssured me we were the same age
(has anyone else had this experience??)
apart from one guy who was like 30

and by the time i had started to make acquaintances and actually started decent conversations about A2's, where we came from, where we had applied etc
they called us into the room, i quickly shut-up (definitely a good thing) and probably went a distinct shade of green/white/purple/cyan (take your pick)
and it all began

the interview was act quite good - i mean i have nothing with which to compare it to - but i think it went ok......i went to seven different "stations" to talk to seven different ppl for five mins each with a one minute break in between......so v.regimented - this style ws gd bcoz if i mucked up one answer the next interviewer had no idea and i could get on with the next question with a new chance at things.
mostly i repeated myself to various different ppl, which hopefully they won't pick up on, smiled, sweated, shook hands, "ummmed" and "erred" in my mind while formulating the next string of ridiculous words to tumble out, while still tumbling out the last lot....and actually enjoyed myself in 4 of the 7 stations (thats an approximate value bcoz its all a bit of a blur...)

its all gd

now i am shattered from traipsing through norwich and discovering it is actually a rele nice city and sitting on a train, negotiating rush-hour tubes/waterloo/trains and jst generally staying awake after the huge adrenalin rush this morning....
it feels like:
i last went to skl last week
its the weekend
and i should defiitely not have to get out of bed at 6:35 2moro....

i have been here waaay to long....wow this is a long post!!
i dont care
but my dad is yelling

cu 2moro lovelies
xox

5 DAYS TILL SWITCHFOOT
