February and March | Apologies and Summary

I am back! I haven't blogged in so so long and i am finally here again on my little space on the Internet about to try and explain my reasons for absence.

I've been tres ill, i caught a flu thing THREE TIMES and was off school for a total of 7 days (bad for a year 11, whoops), but that couldn't be helped. I was feeling very under the weather and stressed so i just took some time to focus on getting my health better and relaxing, and really, i think that's a good enough reason for not blogging :)

I've also been using up my last little bits of energy i had after being ill towards dancing and homework, having 8 dance shows and 4 exams to prepare for, i've been a busy busy bee, but i'm back now!
I have to warn you though, i am taking my GCSE's over the next three months so posts may be slowed down, but don't worry, i haven't forgotten about you and i check in here everyday :)

I did a January summary, and i thought i would do a February and March one too, not because i feel you're all interested in what i do everyday, but because i think it's nice to look back on things like this and appreciate what i did that month because sometimes it's hard to remember off the top of your head.

February

In February i was rehearsing loads and loads for 6 dance shows (the same show, done 6 times) which i didn't mind at all because i just laaave dancing. I had two days of dance intensive for the other dance company i'm in which was so much fun but completely exhausted me!

Illness number one, i caught it mid February and i was in bed for 5 days, although i went in for an English speaking and listening exam where we had to do a speech about the future to our classmates and i got an A*, ooooh yeah ;)

I had my college interview, and was offered a conditional offer!

Let the dance shows begin! The last day of Feb saw the first of the 6 dance shows! :)

Looking Spiffing!
 

March

6 dance shows in 4 days, again very tiring but I LOVED IT SO MUCH!
The day after the last show i had a maths gcse paper, which fingers crossed i did alright in, maths isn't my strongest point:/

Illness number two. Unfortunately i hadn't had enough time to fully recover from being ill the first time, and after being close to many many people and children for 4 days, i got ill again. This time was worse than the first and third time, i literally couldn't walk 5 steps without needing to rest, flu is poopy:( I was off school for four days (friends didn't even bother asking if i was okay, but that's a different story).

This is extremely sad, but a highlight of the month for me was seeing Vicar of Dibley return to our screens on Comic Relief. I LOVE the Vicar of Dibley i have the boxset which i've watched about a thousand times (hear the clicking of people unfollowing, haha). No one really understands my love for it, it's brilliant! Ps, The actor who plays Jim lives in the village next to my town ;)

Illness number 3. I was very fed up by now and i hadn't felt completely healthy for nearly a month which sucked:( I wasn't allowed any more time off school because of exams, so i had to stick out feeling really crap for days, where all i could think about was being snuggly in bed, which is were i should've been really.
 
I then had two more dance shows, which weren't AS exciting because i was only doing one or two dances, but we had a great time in the dressing room!

I lost 10 pounds! I think i mentioned in my January post that i was losing weight and although i've done it as slow as a snail, i have lost 10 pounds and healthily too! Okay, so some of it may have been down to the fact that i was ill and didn't really have much of an appetite, but then again, i wasn't working out due to it, so it was kinda balanced out.

I have made a new blog for my weight loss: lauralosesweight.blogspot.com

Thanks for sticking with me!
