Learning Another Language?!
Yes, I am learning another language! It is very exciting and at times difficult.
At school, we have to learn French, but on top of that, I learn Punjabi at home. Every Thursday after school, for an hour, my mom teaches me and my brother different parts of Punjabi and India/ Punjab. We learn about the history of Sikhism, geography to do with India, the language in general etc.
The lesson will start today in a bit, I honestly can't wait!

Finally, Snow!
Last night, we finally got some snow! It hasn't snowed all christmas this year and last year too! ... Well it has snowed a bit but it hasn't set.. until last night! It was only a thin layer, but still!
Major went out in it too, at first he was scared and confused! It was pretty funny watching him run about in it afterwards though!
However, this morning when I woke up, the snow was all ice and slush :( It was disappointing... Walking around school was hard too, making sure you didn't slip!
Apparently it's meant to snow again tonight! I hope it does! haha

GCSE Options!
I'm now in Year 8 at school, which means that I have to choose my options by the end of this month! :/
Normally, you choose your options when you get to Year 9, but my school does it differently and gets you to choose in year 8 so you have more free time and not always crammed with work!
There are subjects that are compulsory by law, these are as follows:
English Literature
English Language
Maths
Science
ICT
PE
...and if you are in the higher sets...
French...
Because I have to take French as well, I only get to choose three more options. It's quite difficult as the options are all in different columns so PE, Business Studies, Food Tech and fashion could be in Block A for example and I could only choose one of all of them subjects to study. Other subjects are in the other columns and I can only choose one out of each.
I've been thinking about what I want to take and I think I'm gonna go with Business Studies, Sociology and History. However, you don't always get your first option, so I have to choose back up options just in case :(
...
I've just come back from Year 8 Parents Evening and started thinking more about my options. It is quite hard and I'm quite stuck as teachers were saying how different GCSE in that subject would be completely different to how it is now and in Year 7. I'm quite stuck now but I think I'm gonna have to check the school website to see what each option is like and what it can do for you in the future.

Getting a Puppy!
It feels like we had Major yesterday, but it's actually been quite a few months!
We got our dog, Major, on the 11th October 2014. Before we got him, I was absolutely frightened of dogs! I can't even explain my fear! Now, I can't really understand what I was getting so worried about though, there so gentle and cute! Major is a German Shepherd / Alsation and we got him as a guard dog.
He was born on 16th August 2014 and was only 9 weeks we we got him! He was so small compared to now! When we went to pick him up, he was outside with two of his brothers. I was so scared to get close because of my fear then. Him and his brothers were so energetic though! They were running about like mad! We picked one - Major - and basically just took him home! He obviously was very nervous on the journey back, as it was at least 30 minutes! He seemed quite confused as well.
We got home and played with him for a bit, just so he could get used to us, then we put him inside and left him to sleep.
He must have slept for hours! German Shepherd puppies actually need to sleep for around 15-20 hours per day! Which is a lot!
Now, Major is nearly 5months, which is pretty scary! He's a lot bigger now, it's hard to imagine that he was actually so small 3months ago!
Major also has Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!

Happy Belated New Year!
Happy New Year!
I know it's a bit late but still... :)
I can't believe that it is actually 2015 already! I still remember 2014 New Years so clearly! Last year whizzed past and now we are in 2015!
I guess I don't really have a New Years Resolution this year, I always seem to break them anyway (as do many others!). I could blog more ;). Comment below your resolutions, if you have any! It would be interesting to see what other people are hoping to achieve this year! :)
I also made a YouTube video on New Years Resolution - Expectations vs. Reality last Thursday! Go check it out if you have a spare minute!

Again, Happy New Year! <3

Warwick Castle!
Last Thursday, I went to Warwick Castle as a school trip. It took about an hour to get there from school. We arrived around about 10am.
First, we walked past the peacocks that we're wondering around that area. Then, we went straight inside the castle to look at the rooms and see the history inside. Inside the castle, there were wax models in some of the room of the important people there such as Henry VIII.
We also saw an bow man who spoke to us for about half an hour and he explained how to use one of the bows. This was just before lunch.
At lunch, we sat and listened to a man who was speaking about the giant eagles and vultures that were at the castle. They were HUGE!!!
After lunch we climbed the spiral staircases to the top of the tower. I don't like heights or spiral staircases so this part of the day was a complete nightmare for me!
When we finally came back down from the tower, it was time to go in the dungeons! I thought they would VERY SCARY! But, actually they weren't as frightening as I thought. When I agreed to going in the dungeons before we went on the trip, I had know idea that we would be in there for 50MINUTES!!!!!!
I also vlogged the day and if you want to see that this is the link to the video on Youtube :)
