NaNoXMasMcIntyreAlaska

i was out until 1am last night.

it was a school night.

okay so i was with my parents. whatever.

yesterday was a good day.
in english, our teacher gave us back our essays (it was one of the most incredulously boring essays i have ever written in my entire life) and then said he was going to hand out a model of what we should be aiming to write like at this stage. my essay was alright, it was marked as a B, so i felt pretty good.
he then handed out these yellow model essays to everyone, and left me until last.
he gave me my own essay on yellow paper.

i just sort of looked at it.

and then sunk down into my seat.

i just thought:
'my class is going to hate me'

nobody likes a goody-two-shoes-smartest-one-in-the-class-sits-at-the-front-smartass. and i only sit at the front because there is nowhere else to sit.
still, it was pretty cool he thought mine was the best essay. for someone who really didn't give a crap when writing it.

then i had a free period, and had some work to finish off. therefore i went to our rather huge college library. i just so happened to find 'Looking For Alaska' (by John Green - i did a review a few months ago, here) after toying with the idea, and looking through it, and starting to read it... i took it to the front desk. now it is mine forever*.

*until the 24th

i also started my NaNoWriMo novel in the car. i have a basic plot, characters, and a title. want to hear it? of course you do - Last Stop: Daytona. out of context it sounds terrible, but if i ever get round to actually writing the damned thing, it'll sound just fine.

yes i am a nerd. stfu.

and we went to see Michael McIntyre live at the O2 Arena. it was epic.

fifteen and a half thousand people were in that arena last night. and we were sat right at the top of the arena. it was high.

just a little sneak peak inside.

this was taken when we first arrived, he wasn't due on for another twenty minutes. the arena was completely full eventually.

he was so tiny from all the way up there. thank you big screens

he was extraordinarily funny, i am so glad the parents booked tickets.

afterward we drove through central London as only hours before Jim Carey switched on Regent & Oxford street's christmas lights. so magnificently magical. i adore London.it was even a little christmassy inside the O2 Arena!

i love christmas so much more than i did last year.
