I've never really been proud of my blog. Sure I've been proud of some posts but in terms of looks it really isn't the greatest. So since the new year was here and I had been thinking a lot about switching to Wordpress so I could make my blog look how I wanted it to I figured now is the perfect time to move so I have. I've spent many hours working out how to export a blog and import it and trying to make the blog look good.
I exported this blog to there so the posts from here are now there but if you want to read any of my new posts you will have to head on over there. Thank you to everyone who has stuck with me through this blog and I'm really looking forward to making my new one even better.

I don't really know what I'm doing writing this post but this is a topic that has been on my mind constantly recently and I thought it might be affecting some of you guys too so I'm doing what every blogger does in that situation which is write a post on it.
When I was a little kid, I wanted to be everything, a pop star, a writer, a singer. Then when I was maybe 11 I started acting in more and more school shows and then village ones too. I had anyways been in the plays even when I was at primary school - the main one I remember was being Mary in the Nativity when I was in Year 2 and being the Fisherman in Scherezade in whatever year that was.
Anyway for some reason when I started secondary school I became in love with acting and singing and performing and since then I had loved the thrill of being on stage and performing and it has been my dream ever since. I particularly wanted to be in Matilda at the West End.
You might remember me saying in my Blogmas that I had been to try out this weekend drama school place near me and how I wasn't sure if I wanted to commit to going or not. Well since then I have been realising that I'm not too sure if acting is my dream anymore. I've been thinking a lot about it and it just really isn't the same any more.
My village youth drama club thing are holding auditions on Sunday for the show Grease they are putting on in April and firstly, I didn't get the same happiness when I found out but also I was practising earlier the song I want to sing at the audition but I felt like it just wasn't the same anymore and my voice is very rusty.
I'm still going to audition because what have I got to lose? But it made me think even more that acting maybe isn't my dream anymore. I've also been thinking a whole lot more about makeup and fashion recently and I'm growing to love them more and more every day and I'm starting to feel like maybe my dreams are changing and I don't want to do drama anymore, I want to do something (I don't know what) to do with makeup and fashion.
I know I'm only 13 so I don't really need to be thinking about my future and jobs too much but my aspirations are just something I have been thinking about a lot recently.
If I have a completely different feeling after going to the audition I will update you but that is how I'm feeling at the moment.
I also just want to say that as I am going to be going back to school on Tuesday, my schedule will be going back to how it was before, except instead of committing to two posts a week I'm going to say this. There will be posts going up every Tuesday, most Friday's and some Sunday's.
What is your dream?

Yesterday I went to Greenwich and I really felt like doing a bit of photography and putting it into a blog post so that's what I did. The only problem is the photos aren't the greatest quality as I had to take them with my phone so excuse that.
We got there at around 130 and we went to a cosy little cafe for lunch. I had a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea and they were very nice and the service was great and I don't know why I'm saying all that because I'm not a food blogger but I liked the decorations on the wall and the fairy lights and how they had magazines if you wanted to read and it just felt very homely.
We then went to a shoe shop nearby and I was eyeing up the converse and my dads girlfriend bought some wellies and we looked around. We also went to the market (hence the photo of the market's roof) and looked around there. We also went to an exhibition about Samuel Pepys because my dad wanted to go and some parts were interesting and some boring.
On the way home we went past a house my dad called 'Santa's Landing Strip' which had so many Christmas decorations and it was like something out of a movie but it was quite cool.
That's basically all we did yesterday but I actually thought it was a really nice day so I thought I would post this.
This will probably be my last post of the year as I have written quite a few posts but I haven't posted them because I need to take pictures for them and I don't have my iPad with me. But anyway, I hope 2015 has been a good year for you, it certainly has for me. If not, 2016 will be your year. I hope you all have a nice New Year's Eve (I have no plans other than staying in with my family haha oops!) and I will be back next year with more posts.

I'm not gonna call them resolutions because, let's be honest, by the end of January most people have either given up on their New Year's Resolutions or they've forgotten about them. Although I probably won't achieve all of these I thought it would be a good idea to have some goals for the new year and some things I want to achieve.
I was looking at my resolutions post from last year (here) and I realised that I had only kind of completed all of them which leads me well onto my first goal.
Focus on one thing at a time and don't leave things half done.
So yeah, I realised what I do is that I want to achieve something and I start it but then I kind of stop half way and I am never fully happy with whatever the thing may be. Let's take my blog for example, for ages I have been wanting to change my blog around and work out how to give it a nice layout that reflects me with a background and header so earlier this month I made a header and changed it but it still looks a mess and I want to learn and do it properly so that's the only way I can explain really. It applies with my school work as well though.
Get good grades.
I'm definitely not one of those people who loves school, but at the same time I don't hate it. If I enjoy the topic we're learning about and like the teacher, I do find school interesting but I want to keep up my grades and I have exams in May so I want to get good grades in them.
Focus on Photography.
I love photography. I am probably going to pick it as one of my GCSE options. The thing is when I do have a camera and remember taking pictures makes me so happy but I always forget which is probably because I don't really have a good camera so I usually borrow my mums. I also would like to really improve the quality of pictures on here.
Be healthy and happy.
I eat a lot of crap. I eat loads of chocolate and not enough fruit and I snack when I am bored or worried so for that reason I am not happy with my diet or with my body which makes me feel a lot more self conscious so in the new year I would really like to start eating more healthily and stop snacking which will also make me a lot happier in myself.
Find my style.
At the moment I wear a lot of the same outfits and I'm finding them really dull and although I have a few new clothes recently which I love I would like to really find my style and have a new wardrobe if clothes which I am happy in and feel confident wearing. I also want to feel confident wearing clothes like skirts more than just on special occasions. I love doing fashion posts when I do as well so I would like to do a lot more fashion posts.
Qualify over Quantity.
As much as I enjoyed doing Blogmas, it really made me realise how in a way I was just putting posts up for the sake of putting them up when I wasn't really happy with them but it was because I wanted to put up a lot of posts. I want to really be proud of every post I put up on here and maybe that will mean there won't be as many posts sometimes but they will be better posts.
And there you go. I don't have too many goals as I feel like they really won't get done if I have too many but there are six so that means I have two months to fulfil each goal which is plenty (hopefully.)
This is my first post since Christmas so I hope you have all had an amazing Christmas and I hope you have an amazing New Year. I will be posting a What I Got For Christmas post but not for a few days, I'm not entirely sure when but I need to finish it off and take the pictures.
Ellie xoxo
