I have managed to survive week one back at Concord again. This time, the difference is, it's a bit more relaxing, less strenous than I was way back in January when I came here. Reason is pretty simple, cause we are now in 6.2 and we have almost more than 6 months time to master a whole new syllabus before we actually sit for the major A2 exams. So much more time compared to previous when we were taking AS. But I'm really glad that tough phase has passed. Right now, I have to really focus on the bigger picture, we are talking about university applications and personal statements here. No kidding. I have to prepare myself entirely to face the fact about what I am actually capable of, and not capable of doing. I really don't want to put such a high hope on something that I can't guarantee of. But one thing I'm very sure about is that I'm willing to do everything, and anything that I can to ensure that I can at least get a place at the one and only university that I'm really, truly, craving of going to further my studies in future. I hope I'll have sufficient determination and strength to go through everything to reach my goals. :)
On the other hand, yesterday was actually a highlight of my year in Concord. You know what we did and where did we go to? We went to amusement park, which is Drayton Manor located about close to 2 hours drive away from Shrewsbury. It was really, really, a great experience and such a fun thing to do. Especially when it was a chance to hang out with your friends around you to play all sorts of enjoyable and thrilling rides. I must admit that yesterday was indeed exciting and challenging. I managed to have the guts to sit almost 4 roller coaster rides altogether.
One was a standing roller coaster, which was certainly something that I have not seen before, so yesterday was officially my first :) And secondly, it was a Ben 10 roller coaster ride which was one of a kind. It had some backwards motion which was my first time experiencing too. It may seem to look like a kiddy ride, but trust me, once you actually get your ass on it, you won't even say that ever again. I sort of underestimated that ride. Teehee. But I've got to say, it was a great one indeed. ;) The third one was well, I would say one of the scariest one among all that I've sat. Know why? It had this slow motion 360 degree turn and right after that, boom, it starts accelerating to the max and off to another faster 360 degree turn.. Immediately after, there's this super high slope that the roller coaster goes to and falls after that. It was insane. That part was practically the most fearful part for myself. I will not forget the feeling of my heart almost flying out of my body and also tears flowing down automatically from my eyes. Finally, it was a ride which was really, really thrilling and fun at the same time. We strapped ourselves on the seats, and then the thing goes on and brings us round and spinning all over in the air almost doing a 360 degree turn every time heading different directions. Gosh. It's just so amazing when you start screaming your lungs out, at the same time, trying to close your eyes to enjoy yourself by not looking down at the awfully high height.
After the rides, I was really worn out. Honest. I couldn't even have the strength to bring myself up to sit for another ride. So we head for lunch and right after lunch, the fun part begins again. I actually spent on playing games just to win an enormous pink unicorn. And with my unfailing perseverance, true enough, I managed to win it in the end. Of course, with the help of my boyfriend for sponsoring me financially about 15 pounds after I've wasted so much of my money on the game and still couldn't win the thing! So, to be honest, I managed to win in the end was partly due to the person whom was in charged. He was really impressed of me keep coming back to win the toy, and so, he decided to go easy on me by giving me more chances to shoot those metal tins. Anyhow, whether or not it was a pity win or what, I still won the pink unicorn anyway! Hee. So no complaints.
Alrighty, I'm done for now. Really tired since this morning. Been to church in the morning, after that, went for yoga, and did some badminton. So yeap. It was quite a productive day for me. So not like my usual routine back in Concord. Anyways, I'm off to bed. There are classes welcoming me bright and early tomorrow!
Have a wonderful week ahead guys.
With much love,
Krystal.
