So because I know now that I have (most probably) failed my AS levels or only just scraped a pass, I am trying to make this summer as full as possible with things that will make me look good and enhance my CV so I decided to volunteer at a primary school.
Now, I'm not going to lie, when I first started I thought it was going to be all easy and simple like I was put in year2 so they're only young so in my eyes, weren't up to doing much work but at the same time weren't up to being rebellious but boy was I wrong.
Literally on my first day this boy decided to introduce himself via the 'bogey game' in which you pick your nose and wipe the bogeys you've dug out the cave into someone and see how long it takes them to realise. I'm sorry to say it took me a long time to notice and it was from then onwards I realsied things weren't going to be as easy as they seemed.
Reading, which y'all know I love doing, was such a chore it was painful. This wasn't the case for everyone but the ones who it did include made my day go about ten times slower. For example, I was trying (emphasis on trying) to read with this one girl and she'd just go about gruessing what word came next based on what letter the word started with. At one point she needed to read the word 'tree' a simple and groovy word that is no hassle at all but oh no, does she try to read it properly and sound it out? Nope. She goes and guesses the words 'there' , 'that' , 'they' and 'then' because they also start with a t before she then decided to read properly how she had been taught. This however wasn't a one off, this was on like every word.
One of the things I think I'll miss the most however is their lack of common sense and their low levels of humour because honestly, I don't think I've seen anything like it. One of the boys was telling me how he went to his friends house and that his friend is really rich and one of the girls sitting by piped up asking if it was because his mum won the jackpot at bingo. Now, I don't know if this was a had to be there moment but it was just so funny because she didn't think that the mum could have a good job or anything like that, just she won the bingo.
Another thing was when the teacher asked the year 2s if they knew what the word 'pure' meant and one of them started declaring it was horse poo because he got mixed up phonetically with the word 'manure' which tbh is a real contrast with the word pure
To be honest, I've actually really enjoyed myself and will be sad to leave them when they break up summer but I don't know if it's enhanced my idea of becoming a teacher or not. I don't know if I could cope with that chaos full time

A new look!!
I'm not going to like I was getting pretty fed up of the old lay out of this blog, like 2014 me thought it looked good and obviously, 2014 me was deluded.
As you probably have noticed the background is now a line drawing of what can only be described as a forest of woods and there is also a border seperating my name from the background which I only recently discovered was a thing?!
Another thing you've probably notcied about said border is the name change on it. Now I know it has a naughty word on it but I feel like zelovelybeff was very outdated and there is a story behind this name which will be posting sometimes this week and then hopefully it will all make sense :)
Seeing as you're reading this post you've probably noticed a change in the posts themselves, I've gone for a cheeky font change and also have a slight blue background to it to go with my theme.
So here we are, new year new me and all that (even though it's past like halfway through the year), let's all just be thankful I got rid of that awful logo I had going on.
It can only go up from here folks
(Until I most probably forget about the whole blog once Summer is over)
Also don't get used to this weekend post, It's a one time wonder

Cold sores make warm bores
So basically, I have discovered that cold sores are not winter exclusive, even though first part of the name is COLD as one has decided to sprout on my face, right in the middle of summer.
Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying colds sores are convenient I mean the name themselves is a hassle to pronounce I mean have I got a cold sore on my mouth or a stray bit of coleslaw that I may have been saving for later, who knows? But this mini mountain of mine has literally came at the worst time possible I mean it has been like 33 degrees outside and all my friends are having fun in the sun but England being England can't seem to have a day without rain even though it is SO HOT.
See here's the thing, I think anyone who has had one of these blighters before know that they love moist envirmonemts and hot weather with the hint of rain makes way for a load of moisture so I either have the option of adventuring into the great outdoors and letting K2 (the worlds second highest mountain) turn into Everest OR just remain inside like a little hermit whilst praying to the face obscurity gods that this thing heels up. Obviously I chose the latter.
These gods seem to seize to exist thought because this thing on my face seems to have been camping here now for nearly a week!! Despite my home remedies trying to get it to vacate the premises it has stayed firmly there, like an overly persistent squatter.
Maybe this is a lesson to be learned, don't try and do your own DIY remedies from Google and just go to the doctors and get some of the proper stuff. It might take longer but at least it's definitely efficient.

Central Intelligence (Movie Review)
I went to go and see this film like a week ago and I'm not going to lie, half the time I didn't really get what was going on and I don't know if it was just me thinking about the plot too much I was making myself confused or if it was a but hard to follow and if so, if it was done like that on purpose.I can't complain too much though like it had Kevin Hart in it and I actually love him as an actor like he's so good at what he does and so funny he made the film. Dwayne (the Rock) Johnson was in it too and I quite like him I guess but I decided as I was watching the film that he's got to the point where he is a bit too muscular for my likings like his arm veins were literally popping and they were just so big, I think it was a little too much
Can we just take a moment however to appreciate that I guessed the plot twist like go me, maybe though I was overthinking everything and that's why I ended up so confused but in all honestly it felt like it was going round in circles for the majority of it (much like this review).
Overall as a comedy it was good like there were a lot of funny parts and I liked how they showed some of the bloopers at the end like that was cute but I don't see how it got such a high percentage on rotten tomatoes.

We love that animal/human morality
I forgot to post and I have literally no shame so here I am backdating it so it looks like it was posted when it was meant to be. I'm not going to lie tho all this writing really takes it out of you and I have had other stuff to do such as part of an EPQ for college.
This basically means that I have to prepare for a piece of work that will then count as an A level I think it is, could be an As and we get to choose whatever subject we want to do, even if it has nothing to do with our current college courses.
Me being me and deciding to make it hard for myself chose to do about humans morality towards humans opposing their morals towards animals. This basically entails why humans think it is acceptable to behave one way towards animals and another towards humans and the line at which they are established as different.
Fun stuff ye.
To do this I started out with some polls and have emailed Lush and various other companies about animal testing and things along that line in order to get some good sources for my research. I'm praying that this is like the majority of the work needs to be done but honestly it was a lot gathering all the facts for what I was saying a=so it was supported and what not because I have no idea how I am going to cope doing an EPQ and 4 A levels as well.

Tidying Room Probz
You see, I personally have a great struggle when it comes to doing things like tidying my room because I end up in this vicious cycle that repeats itself over and over and over again.
Then because all my energy has been exhausted through some intensive mario kart playing I really can't be bothered tidying my room up - which is messier than it started off as by this point and then I ended up starting with what I like to call the 'floor/ceiling exchange' which is basically when you put all the stuff that was on the bed into piles on the floor, and then you take them piles and put them on the bed and this basically just repeats for about half an hour and in that time literally nothing gets done.
It starts off with a really really high level of motivation so like I end up emptying all my drawers and wardrobe and pile it all over my bed and then decide to sort through it all and arrange it into my drawers better and what not but then somewhere along the line things go wrong and before you know it you see that one thing that you haven't seen in like years and that's it you're hooked. I often find that this is my DS because I somehow forget it exists until I start to tidy.

By the end of that whole exchange I've had enough of the tidying nonsense so end up leaving things in piles on the floor or shoving said piles into the wardrobe regardless of what they are. One thing I have also realised is that it is more or less guaranteed that there will be a spillage of some description I mean, did you really clean your room if you didn't spill something all over in the process? I tend to find it's the nail varnish remover like I don't know how it always seems to end up with its lid off on the floor but somehow it does and bam it's all over the floor and my room has a scent so strong it could be mistaken for one of those nail places.
