Another blog post?
“No thank you!”, I hear you scream, but alas, it is so. I created that playlist I spoke of, and I’ll link you to it somehow towards the end of the blog, by which time I hope to have worked out how to do it.
The play list is, as I’ve said, upbeat. I wanted to put things together that put a smile on my face when I listen to them, or at the very least they make my feet tap. The playlist is on spotify, which I highly recommend you get, it allows you to listen to any music, any time, for free. There are adverts with the free version, but honestly it doesn’t bother me one bit. I also have one published with a more chilled vibe, which you are free to check out (and subscribe to!).
I’ve been trying to think of something to write about, but honestly I think my life has gotten pretty monotonous recently. All I seem to do is work, there’s so much to do right now, but by the end of the month it’ll all quieten down because I’ll finish my Open University and (hopefully) send off my UCAS, not to mention my maths coursework and all the various chapter tests that need to be done in the next couple of days. So, there is light ahead, but in a way, I secretly enjoy the rush I get when I’ve got a lot to do in a short space of time, and I love the feeling of when I solve some form of puzzle. So I’ll miss the adrenaline, but then it’ll give me more time to play guitar, which I love. When I just close my eyes and play (and sing, which may explain any adverse weather conditions), I feel like my guitar and I are the only things that exist in the whole world, I feel free.
A few months ago I read this:
There once was a King who lived in a two-storey grass house, and every year for his birthday he’d have a new throne made, and he’d put the old one upstairs. One year, his house collapsed under the weight.
The moral of this story? People who live in grass houses shouldn’t stow thrones.
Okay, finally, the play list - http://open.spotify.com/user/rosiebeeston/playlist/71uF2Z3Zo4GoPLRtpj9myY

Roon Returns!
I haven’t blogged in ages, how bad of me. However, I’m sure my one and only reader will forgive me. Yes, I do forgive me. There we go.
Anyway, much has transpired since I last blogged, and I’ll try to squeeze as much in as I can. Firstly, my trip to Edinburgh:
The University was amazing, I fell in love with it almost immediately. The lecturer giving the talk on Physics at Edinburgh was so funny, and all of the staff seemed friendly and willing to help. Although, I suppose that the point of an open day is to sell your University, so I shouldn’t take that for granted. The whole trip was great, Edinburgh is an amazing city, I spent half of my time walking around with my head in the air, staring at the tall buildings that seem to envelop you in history. The architecture really is wonderful, and there are so many little corners to explore I don’t think anyone could ever get bored living there. I’ve never wanted something more than a place at Edinburgh University.
Back at school:
I co-run a club for year seven and eight pupils to get them playing loads of different sports, and we were playing ‘horse’. You have to shoot at a basketball hoop and if you don’t get it in, you get a letter until you spell ‘horse’, when you do, you’re out. What I didn’t foresee was this:
“I’m a HO!”
“Yeah well, I’m a HOR!”
Jesus Christ, I dread to think what they told their parents. Anyway, another music suggestion - Tingsek. It makes even my miserable feet tap. “World of its own” is a particularly good one. I’ll be publishing an upbeat spotify play list shortly, so watch out for that. I had more to say, but I forgot, lucky you.
Au revoir!
