Snow in April?!

Hey guys!
Hope you're all okay and if not then quick reminder that tomorrow is a new day and you don't know the possibilities that day will hold for you!

So this week started off interesting as it has been snowing, hailing, been sunny and then back to rain again?! I think British weather is just as confused as students are at exam time.. On Friday I woke up to snow and it was the weirdest thing as it's April so you obviously don't expect that but look:


^I put it this size as I know my mum is very proud of the front garden, it does look cute though.

< This is mine and my neighbours back garden, it is so weird seeing snow in April..

I don't know why I still get surprised as British weather is always messed up. Guess I should just be used to it now, gotta love it sometimes as I'm so not used to sun I can't cope sometimes even if it's just like 17 degrees (if you're from America or other hot countries that's probably normal for you..)


So it's the 1st of May today which means I have my first exam this month...it was nice knowing you (pls send help I don't wanna do it) I'm sure you're all thinking the same but it's my psychology resit of unit 2 first which I haven't done as much revision for. This Monday is a bank holiday so I've decided I'm gonna spend the day going over unit 2 stuff. Let's hope I remember more stuff because I need a B..the only reason I'm resitting is because I got 1 UMS mark off a B last year I mean how awful is that?!

Moving on from exam talk ew, it's my 18th birthday 17th July and my phone contract has just run out and I've asked for an iPhone SE in rose gold and I think my parents are actually gonna get me one omg I'm so happy! I love the concept that it's the same pocket sized phone but has the more advanced set up of an iPhone 6. I also feel like once you buy one apple product it's hard to switch to another make as everything links so easily. I guess that's how they hook you in but I honestly wouldn't wanna switch, just the style of everything Apple is so beautiful and simple I love it.

Enough about Apple, so luckily the final deadline for my photography exam is next Friday not the one just gone. I'm aiming to have done all my preparation for Tuesday and then I might just have my final piece to finish so then I can straight away start doing my coursework improvements. Did I tell you sir marked my work and I'm on a B and only 4 marks off an A so I only have a few things to improve!! (YASSS..mini celebration over now..)

For my final piece idea I'm doing 3 shots of my friend jumping in sequence with double exposure of car light trails I took. Printing them on acetate and rolling it up into a cylinder and then putting a light in between to light it up. So hopefully my friend will be jumping when you roll it! (Totally didn't copy & paste this text from earlier when I was talking to my friend..I'm lazy okay)
I am really happy with it though, I just hope it turns out as I'm imagining it in my head. It's definitely better than last year where I just merged 2 images and sir thought that was amazing and I got an A soo if it works I'm really hoping I get an A overall because I've worked so hard for photography!

Quick rant but people say photography is nothing compared to art and that it is way easier but honestly that is complete bullshit. If some of the people that do art for example saw my coursework booklet and saw how much work and effort I put in then they'd awkwardly realise oh yeah it does require as much work then an art a level. Technically it is art anyway as our a level is called art and design-photography' sooo (rolls eyes..I get passionate about stuff I believe in and work hard for you know)

Right so time for me to start work for today, after I watch something on tv first..I mean priorities right;)
Good luck with your revision and general work for your job/uni etc!
Talk very soon
Sophie
