My RANT



So on Thursday it was my big night out in London watching The Friday Night Project. Now i go to London lots but this was my big night out cause it was the start of my dominance on British television, i knew id get spotted and next week i'd be the guest host and then the week after they'd sack the hairy bloke and the guy with the weird voice and make it "The fantastic amazing sparkly friday night Project with Bethany Hampel". So it was all planned, i had 6 outfits planned and a timetable for getting ready,but as usual everything didnt turn out right because i LOVE MY BED!!!!!o i didnt actually stick to my timetable at all, i threw on a pair of shorts and a tshirt and left for the train, now this was the start of my downfall, my road is being fixed so there was no buses and i had to walk,when i reached the train station i was not alone i had 3 MAJASSIVE blisters on my feet, luckily i was going with new hall girls and everyone knows a new hall girl never leaves the house without at least 3 pairs of shoes,so i borrowed my friend bekkas(thanks) flip flops,so we got the train that was good,met fran which was good and after a consultation with my tube expert(thanks simmy) we got to waterloo and met Emma who had the tickets and walked to the studio,now when we got there we noticed a big queue.so gradually the queue got shorter and shorter and we got nearer the door that would lead us to hairy and numpty voice.Then it happened i had my first encounter with my new nemisis,a man in a yellow jacket and a clipboard told us we werent getting in,WHAT??i have 3 blisters,an 18 pound train ticket and an army of blog readers all waiting to hear my experiences............but still this guy said no,apparantly the story was that they had a building fault so couldnt let us all in so gave us vip tickets for another night.so we decieded to explore London we went to soho,china town and bond street,we went past a new church i tried last week and everyone said it looked posh......it made me think i wouldnt fit in there.and then back to frans where we had the best breakfast ever, we had pancakes and papaya,thanks mrs frans mum. so that was my night the next day i started to feel really ill(not due to the breakfast), i developed lumps on my head and bad neck pains and had to go to the doctor who said i was exhausted and perscribed some bedrest which i had to take,so im now having a relaxing weekend with me bloke and me grandparents.

some movie tips...

So its 10am and just been woken by a ringing phone, why would people ring at such an early hour of the morning? now on holidays i really have nothing to do so the average time for getting up is around 1 in the afternoon! So here i am blogging, sorry its been such a long time but i'm now here to fill you in about whats been happening.
My exams are all finished and now just waiting for the results which are out on the 17th august, for me this is just as scary than doing the actual exam. Then came the leaving of New Hall and being New Hall they can't just have one goodbye doo you get a weeks worth finishing with a day of celebration which i'd like to add i've now soloed infront of Ann Widdecombe MP and His Eminence Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor (if you don't no who he is, he's one bloke down from the pope!)
I then got the privilage to work on a childrens camp. The camp was for very disadvantaged children. Every member of staff was given a child of look after and you had to provide them with 24/7 care. This was something i had never even come close to doing and i was clueless on the matter and my nerves wasn't stilled when i found out all the rules and regulations that came when looking after a child, what happened if i forgot one?
i feel with my child i was pushed in at the deepend, She had many health and social problems and had been seriously abused and neglected from birth. This meant i had to do everything for her including carrying her around everywhere because her legs were not strong enough as she was only fed once a day.
During the week we formed a very close bond and one of the hardest things i had to do was to hand her back over to the parents, having being warned not to cry i wore the biggest sunglasses which hid the tears.
That week i learnt many lessons and things about myself, i am now grateful about where i come from and the family i was raised into. I am less proud as all dignity was lost carrying around nappybags as Marantha was accident prone and that i really want to work more with children now and in the future.
Yesterday i went to the motor show with my mum and dad, seriously for me it was like walking around a car park i didnt get the fasination but i did book some driving lessons on the plus. Then in the evening i went to see Katherine Jenkins with my friend Steph and i sat next to the rudest man alive, who screamed and swore at me and said he would have me thrown out for talking while the concert was on, seriously the orchestra had just started tuning, some people!
So now we are back to the present, now 10.30 and contemplating going back to bed. Tonight i am going to see the Friday Night Project ironic seeing it is a Thursday! so make sure you watch it tommorow to see if you can spot me!
