Autumn thoughts

I am finally on a break. Man, i hate college. It wouldn't be so bad if i could drive as then I'd only be travelling an hour a day but i have to wake up at 6:30 to get the 7:30 bus for a 9am lesson, and then when i finish at 4:30 i have to wait till 5 and get back home at 6:10pm. Absolute joke. I lose at least 3 hours a day travelling other than just an hour if i could drive. and i WILL be able to drive next September, the bus is a joke. 

The second reason why me and college aren't the best of friends is the amount of work. Yes i know, i wasn't oblivious to the amount of work 4 A levels would bring but it is stressing me out so so much and stress really isn't good for me. I've been having problems with migraines since the summer and they are getting more and more frequent throughout the week in college and it's affecting my attendance. I've only missed like 5 lessons because of them but again, it takes a long time to travel home from college and it really doesn't help when i have a migraine, because the only thing that seems to help at the moment is paracetamol and sleep. The doctors gave me some medication but it made it worse so i stopped using them, and now i have to make another appointment :( My tutor is also getting miffed with me because of my migraines and attendance, even though i found out my poor attendance is due to them not taking me off the health and social care register since i changed to English which is their fault and I'm getting stick for it. Grrr. 

I'm sorry for rambling, but honestly that's made me feel so much better just venting my feelings to on here, maybe now i can relax :)

I am loving Autumn right now. If you saw my last post which was some fun things to do during Autumn/Winter then you'll know all the things i love about it. I am going to do everything on that list, and i will take pictures/do blogposts so do check out my Instagram for pictures of that, the link is in the side bar or you can search Laurasadaydreamer. I have also begun writing up ideas for my 2014 bucket list which i shall post in the new year, plus i will do an update on my 2013 bucket list which tbh, i haven't done alot of :/ My favourite thing to do in Autumn is to walk my dog around the countryside as we all know what a country bumpkin i am. Last week i took my camera and it absolutely poured it down, which is what Autumn is all about really haha. These photos also show off some of the beautiful Somerset countryside around where i live :)












I say this all the time but since i am now on half term then hopefully i shall be on my blog and YouTube more often so keep an eye out :)
I hope you all have a good break and i shall see you soon, sorry for the long rambly post but ya'know, they're necessary sometimes :)
