I'm moving!

Wow. I never thought this would actually happen but in less than two months I will be moving to Portsmouth to live with my Dad for two years. I'm so excited to start a new life and spend more time with my Dad and step-mum. It will be so different but I can't wait.

Starting a new school will probably be the hardest thing for me. I have so many loving friends in London that I don't know how I will live without. Now with my final day of school near approaching it's all starting to feel very real. Of course I'll miss my mum too but she'll continue being in my life where as I worry my friends will drift away from me.

I've always craved that movie scene type life where you rock up to school in your mini jeep and spend your days arguing your way to good grades and your nights playing matchmaker (major Clueless feels).  I just hope this will be a place where I can finally experience real teenage life.

I know life is real and not a movie but sometimes I look at my life and think God how boring. The most exciting part of my day is when I finish my homework and can flick between films on Netflix for longer than the actual film lasts for. I'm going to try to vow to make the next chapter in my life fun, carefree and challenging. The way teenage life should be.
