The perfect outcome

I am grinning all over like a Cheshire cat... An A in English literature and an A in English language - all I needed to get into university. I am over the moon. See here? Here's proving you can ditch out on 6 months of school, have 2 stints in hospital, become an invalid, lose utter touch with reality, do most of your coursework in bed, and still get into university... needless to say, I'm extremely happy! As those of you who read my blog regularly will know, however, I am staying in London for a year to take a third A level (art), and 'find myself' - a.k.a. become an arty pretentious type who smokes pipes and writes manuscripts on a typewriter. It's going to be a blast.

So now, I feel like all the struggles and pain and torment I have suffered over this past half a year have been sort of worth it. I almost didn't take any of my exams but thank God I did because it's opened up a year of freedom starting from September.

Alfie got into the uni of his choice too! I am so freaking happy for him I can't even explain it. I won't disclose the names of the universities we will be going to, but they are top universities, I'm sure you can make a wild guess at the kinds of places we will be going. I'm very happy indeed and feel like I have a license to be mildly arrogant right now, on both our accounts :)

I got my ass in gear with food today. I have FINALLY managed to shit which was the cherry on top of a fantastic morning (I'm charming, I know). My throat is motherfucking painful but it's to be expected, what with my scabs turning to gloop in the back of my mouth, and everything. I had a big bowl of porridge with chopped banana, raspberries, honey and cinnamon, with a tall glass of apple juice (400) for brekkers. Then early evening I had 4 slices of pizza (600 calories) which took me about an hour to get down but was sooo worth it. So in total that makes today 1000 which is perfectly reasonable in my opinion. I wish I could have had a celebratory drink with my friends (who all got perfect results bar one) tonight but I guess I'll just have a vicarious painkiller and imagine I'm there raving it up :P

Plans/things to do next year:
-Get down to 112 lbs
-Boost immune system through going to the gym and drinking lots of health smoothies :)
-Do some theatre work experience (this one's already sorted for October, I'll be working voluntarily with a lot of writers and running around fetching thespians their morning coffee)
-Read a lot of great literature
-Make at least one short film
-Get more babysitting ie. earn easy cash 4 no work
-Buy a flat cap and a pipe
-Make some new friends

I'm going to take my evening meds now because that's how cool I am... love to you all x
