Cats and my 18th

Well, I think it's about time I talked a bit about February and the fact that I turned 18.
But first, here are some pictures of cute cats that I became obsessed with during my work experience
CoCo
I can't remember his name, but he had 3 legs and was so adorable.

Bubby
Pastels

I can't remember the name, but still so cute and I stroked this cat while it fell asleep for like half an hour.


Right, let's talk about my birthday. Can I just say, that it was honestly, probably one of the best days of 2020 and I felt so blessed because of everything that happened. Also, I don't know why, but in January I was scared of being 18, but when it came to the day before and the day of turning 18, all the fear had gone and it was just excitement left. 
The first and only present I opened on my actual birthday, was the hoodie in the picture below. I had a baileys hot chocolate for my birthday drink and the rest of the morning was spent on a train down to London.


 Once we got into London, we went to a cupcake shop where Joel and his girlfriend surprised us. We then got some sandwiches from Pret a Manger and headed towards the theater. 








Prince of Egypt as a theater show was incredible. The production of it was beautiful. Although there were some aspects of it that really frustrated me, like the way they changed the ending, I would definitely go see it again if I could because it was really beautiful to watch and also I just love the Prince of Egypt. 
After the theater show, we quickly went over to accessorize, where I bought some cute earrings, and then we tried to find somewhere to eat. 
Finding a place to eat at around 5-7pm in central London is impossible. We went into so many places, but all of them were packed with people. If we were ever to do it again, I think we would book somewhere in advance. We eventually, after being quite stressed about not being able to find a place to eat, settled down for cheesy chips and milkshakes at Shake Shack. It wasn't the birthday meal I'd planned, but it was still good.
Sadly, after food, it was farewells and a 3-hour train ride home.

My 18th birthday is definitely one I'm not forgetting any time soon, despite the London chaos, it was so much fun.

Because I was in London all day with just my sisters and Mother, most of my family didn't get to see me on my birthday, so on the 28th, we opened my presents and cards and had birthday cake. And, I dyed my hair red on the 29th.




Well, that's basically it for my birthday. So far March has been okay I guess. I took my last exam the other day, which I don't think went as well as I'd liked, but I leave it in God's hands and if I have to do the retake then you know, whatever. College is actually pretty boring, all we are doing is aquatics, which no one really wanted to learn and a specialist project, in which no one really knows what they're doing. This year of college is not what I signed up for and I'm just so ready for summer and for education to be over for at least a year. I'm so excited about my gap year where I'm free to not have to revise or do work and just do stuff I want. 

That's basically all for now, 2020 is a good year so far, apart from all the end of the world stuff going on - massive forest fires in Australia and the Coronavirus - 2020 seems to be going okay. 

Be back soon,
BeeBee
