I am back. Really now.

Lax does not quite cover it. I've been absent for eight months. But now I'm back.

So. To summarise my entire life for the past eight months:

• We really did go to Paris. In February. Ben, Sophie, Si and I. It was fantastic. So now we're going to Madrid in October. Hurray for part-time jobs, that's all I can say.
• My brother got selected for the South of England U-13s, and then the England U-13 tournament in Taunton. So I'm not a poor misguided fool, led on blindly by sisterly love. Good news, good news.
• Philosophy. Still rocks.
• Leeds Festival!!!! We're going!!! Next week!!! I am beyond excited. Best thing ever. Partly because music has been great this year. Which leads me to:
• Cold War Kids! Jack Penate! Kate Nash! The Hold Steady! CSS! Klaxons! We Are Scientists! Glorious musical joy! Though, naturally, I'm still firmly in the Buckley boat.
• AS Levels! Today was results day, aaannnnddddd... if you're counting General Studies (which, let's face it, not many people do) then I got 5 A's. Including 100% in English. I've got a History query (one markedly lower module score), but in the grand scheme even this isn't much of a problem, because I still have an A even with (hopefully) freak score. So yay for education, though I'm not letting Miss XXX claim this victory, oh no.
• Passed my driving test. First time :)
• I'm on hoilday for another few weeks, then it's back to the grind.

But I really am back.
