#8 - Get my results and #9 - Get easily into my next school

I had to get a very high set of grades to get into my current school and I did, despite my round-the-clock migraines. I got in and I am so happy that I did because I could not be happier.

#7 - Go to Hogwarts


Hogsmeade was awesome as were all the sets. My heart pines for the merchandise. The dragon coaster was fantastic (I went on the red side) and the hippogriff ride was very good as well. The forbidden journey was... underwhelming. But I do now have a packet of bertie botts every flavour beans and a pygmy puff called Hercules. He's pink.

#6 - Go on a Plane

I went to the US for the last three weeks so here are pictures akin to those you can find on instagram.
I hope I've used akin correctly (I'm trying to expand my vocabulary).




Is that New York I spy? Why yes, it is.

#60 - Go on a roller coaster I have never been on before


This is Logger's Leap at Thorpe Park. It is a log-flume drop and is totally awesome. It goes round the lake and it's really amazing.

#29 - Do something childish



I may have gone on a giant bouncy castle obstacle course. It was amazing. I may have done an unintentional backflip because I have mad skills.

#39 - Read The Cuckoo's Calling



So I read The Cuckoo's Calling by "Robert Galbraith" which is a pseudonym for JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books. It's really, really good. I don't usually like crime but this was superb. I would definitely recommend it
