DofE experience!

I'm back from DofE!It was hard, tiring and physically painful but I still managed to return home with a smile on my face.If you don't know what DofE is, basically DofE stands for Duke of Edinburgh. It's a programme all about navigating in the wild, you know without a parent and just basically learning to explore. It also looks really good on your CV and there are three different heights you can complete it to: Bronze,Sliver and Gold. Bronze is what I did, where you camp for one night and walk for two. Sliver is where you camp for 2 nights and walk for 3, and I think Gold is camp for 3 nights and walk for 4, but I'm not going further than Bronze!
You may think "woah why not go on to sliver that sounds great" well I would go on to sliver if it wasn't for 10kg bags and 32km of walking and that was just Bronze! I'm really not sporty so this was hard for me, but overall I had a great time with my friends and barely getting lost.

Our aim work was "Where's Carys", so you can play this game!
One of my favourites haha
This was at like 9 in the morning 
Apparently I looked like Gollum
 We just got to the top of a VERY big hill!
 This was at 8 am on the last day, we wanted to get home as quickly as possible.
I was in a silly mood ok 
*Credit goes to Miss Lauren Tye for the fabulous photos*

So this was my DofE, It was fun but I am extremely glad to be home! 
Have you done DofE or anything similar?

Half Term

Hello everyone! I hope you all have had a better day than me! So, today I broke up from school for a week! (why are all my sentences ending in exclamation marks.) Although I may not have school, I have a lot of homework to do, which i think is unfair as half term breaks should be used for resting and regaining your mental health, but noooo, it's basically school without leaving the house. Sorry if this blog post isn't really making sense 1) my hands are so cold so they're really stiff and that means i can't type well and 2) I am extremely tired from working my butt off at school. 

Well sorry this is short, but I feel like literal death. So I hope you all had a good Valentines day! If you're single like me,well, I guess our mums love us. 

I'm going for a nap
