Well, what a busy week I have had! I decided to go to Cardiff shopping on Friday with my mum. I have not been to Cardiff for a few months, so I thought it would be a nice day out. Luckily my UCAS card arrived that morning! The UCAS card is a card available to all students and if you use if in specific shops you can get discounts and points towards your university application.
We took a look around some of the shops. I bought some English Literature revision guides to prepare me for the A/S examination in three weeks. I have all three exams in one day. I feel daunted by that, but I suppose it’ll be better to get them over and done with.
I also bought Anthony Horowitz' latest book in the “Power of Five” series called “Night Rise”. I’ve resisted temptation to start reading so far. I think it’ll be best to save that novel for when I go on my holiday in two weeks.
I love Anthony Horowitz’ books! I bought the “Alex Rider” series to read while on holidays last year, and they were the best books I’ve read in a while. I could not put them down! Every page was filled with excitement, suspense and adventure, so thrilling! If you have not read them yet, I highly recommend you do. For more information visit:

I also bought some coloured post-it notes from WH Smith. I was told they would be handy for revision. I bought a small box of 500. There was no price on the box, so I assumed they were the same price as the others.
My jaw nearly dropped to the floor when I realised they cost £8.99. “Oh my goodness, what an outrageous price!” I hear you cry at your computer screen. I know, I totally agree! I wheeled myself back to the shop and got a refund, and then I bought cheaper ones for £3.00.
I decided to treat myself to a new hairstyle while in Cardiff. My local salon is under renovation so I went to a professional barber. He cut my hair using an old-fashioned razor. I think it’s the best haircut I’ve ever had in my life! It cost £11 and really worth the price. I took some photos on my phone of my new hairstyle. I shall try to transfer them to my computer soon to show you all.
Have a great Bank Holiday weekend.
