sunshine

I wrote this on paper earlier today at around 3 and I've just found time to type it up.

I would say that today has been sucessful and productive. I did a lot of chemistry and history revision, ready for my exams on Monday. I'm just sitting on a bench on the train station platform waiting for the next train having just missed the train since I had to buy my ticket on the stupid machine that took forever. Now I have to wait 20 minutes and will probably miss my 4pm leg waxing appointment which is quite important. Just because I went to the wrong bus stop and missed my original bus so I had to change my route home but at first I couldn't decide if I would so I didn't get the first number 1 bus to the station. If I'd taken that bus, with the probably less insane and moody driver, then I would've gotten here earlier and not missed the train. To be honest I was quite tempted to just get on the train without buying a ticket since there aren't any barriers at this station. (Luckily I didn't though since there was an officer guy checking tickets at the next stop.)

After all that it would probably make sense for this post to be about buses but nope, as my history teacher pointed out, I don't seem to write in any logical order. So I will save that loveliness for another time. (I'm talking about my buses rant.)

Instead I'm going to write about the sunshine. Recently, the weather has been brilliant, if you live in the UK you'll understand the significance of this and that sunny weather is very rare and should not be taken lightly. It's been very sunny and very hot and a little humid, but that's forgivable after the bitterly cold winter and spring. The great weather means two good things.

Numero uno: shorts and dresses and skirts. Since a random compliment from a girl in my form in year 7, my legs have been my favourite feature about myself. At home, all year round, I will be wearing my sweat shorts. I LOVE shorts, they're the best invention ever and it sucks that you can't really wear then in the winter (unless you wear them with tights but they never look that great on me.) Which means that this weather has allowed me to finally wear all the pretty shorts and skirts and dresses I've been buying.

Numero dos: shirtless guys. By British standards it has been very very hot which means that males deem it acceptable to walk around topless, which is fine by me for another two reasons. Firstly, without sounding like a pervert, you can (well I do) ogle all the fit, buff guys, especially whilst wearing sunglasses. Excellent, nothing wrong with a bit of aesthetic appreciation (from my PE exam a few weeks ago.) Secondly, you can (again: well I do) judge all the overweight men that really should have kept their tshirts on. It's great, not wanting to sound like a horrible person but, whilst I people watch, I'm also judging people - their clothing choices, hair etc. I'm sure that everyone has done this at some point at least once, it's natural but I'm just one of the few who admit it. I don't actually do anything about it though, not even pull a face which some people have done to me, thanks by the way!

I was going to finish on that note since I am writing on paper and I just finished both sides but I thought of another point and wanted to share. This is actually related to my first point (sorry, I've been writing history essays and the need to link points seems to be deeply ingrained.) To fully explain the significance of this point I will have to give you some background information (I may have already mentioned this): I walk everywhere I go and for some reason I get hot very quickly after little exertion. This means that I never like to wear or bring coats/jackets/hoodies/cardigans with me. Which brings me to my point: I can now go out in just a t-shirt and not be told to put something on or grab something or worry that if I don't bring an outer layer, that it will get cold and I will be caught unprepared.

This seems sufficiently long so I'll finish here. I'll probably revisit this topic at some point since there is usually sun in the summer. Now that I've finished, I can go and tidy my room, which I am very very excited about.
