Yesterday's events were... well interesting to say the least.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I was going to a film shoot where we would be recording footage of cyclists performing stunts, tricks or just riding their bikes, which we are going to edit together to make a short advert for the track. You may be wondering (or not) how this track came into being... It was created at the end of last year when the local high school's cycle team hosted an event on the plot of land, essentially it was just an open plot, owned by the city, and it could have the potential for a park but due to vagrants and dog walkers, it was never turned into one. So, when this cycling event took place there, a route was laid out for the cyclists to follow, and by the end there was an actual three and a half kilometre track. My dad, who is quite a doer, like Sherlock, and had foresight, contacted the city council to ask for permission to make the track permanent. Many meetings, papers signed, angry dog walkers, police visits to clean up the litter, teen boys building crazy jumps, ramps and burms later, we've ended up here, with a brilliantly positioned cycle track, where families spend a good chunk of their Saturdays and Sundays riding. How awesome. A place, once before, just a dirty vacant park, now a place for the neighbourhood to exercise.
Hopefully in the next couple of days I'll have edited all the amazing and epic footage we took in to a video, actually I take it back, it might take a couple of weeks... I still have to find the perfect song... any suggestions please leave a comment :) anyway, so keep a look out on my YouTube channel for that video.
Besides filming all day in the sun (not complaining we had perfect weather, what more could I ask for) I found out that in October and November this year, I will be writing my G.E.Ds and S.A.Ts ... WHAT!?!?!?! Yeah... so I'll be finished with school a year early. Pretty exciting and nerve wrecking stuff right there. Speaking of, the other thing that is a part of growing up that happened to me yesterday was that my mom bought me the K53 Learners and Drivers manual. Yeah guess whose getting ready to learn to drive. ME!
So what else exciting adventures (I'm being sarcastic there) does my week hold? Well today has just been me editing, playing guitar (I've finally perfected Fallin For You by Colbie Caillat), and finding the perfect cake pop recipe for my besti and I to make tomorrow :) I'll post some pics when we've made them for you to see. For my birthday last year I was given a cake pop book and, holder thingy. That doesn't really explain what it is that I was given. Basically it's a mould that fits twelve pops that you put the batter in and bake in the oven then pop them out (excuse my lame pun) and decorate :) if that still isn't explanatory enough for you and my descriptive skills aren't doing justice to the mould, check out MoreZoella on YouTube and watch her vlog ~ Cake Pop Fail and Date Night. It's really cool :) even though they (spoiler alert) fail ;)
Then later in the week I'll have an exciting announcement with my friend and fellow musician Kyra... which I can't tell you know what it is, but I'm telling you it's going to be exciting!!!
Quick confession, today I learnt how to do a proper fishtail braid. I'm sure for many teen girls, this is a basic hairstyle and wouldn't be a huge accomplishment, but for me... I'm so excited that I got it right :D oh and during writing this post, I listened to Wrapped Around Your Finger and If You Don't Know by 5 Seconds of Summer... If you don't know who they are then I suggest you climb out from under that rock you've been living under and find out, and if you do know who they are and haven't heard those songs then please go listen to them because they are AMAZING! (oh and if you do know then I love you) (even if you don't still love you)
So that's it for me for now,
Chat later
