The introduction. All about me - Wednesday, 21st October 2009

10th July 2009


Hello Bloggers,

My name is Livvie Smith. I am 14 years old, seeing as I was born on 7th July 1995. I have a father, Gary, who is 42 in December. (Blimey, old man! Bless him.) I also have an older sister, Emily, who has just turned 18. She is rather extatic that she is fully legal to do whatever she may please. Luckily, her mind is only set on university next year. My mother, Sindie, sadly passed away on 15th October 2009. Sindie bravely fought breast cancer for 5 long years, before it completely took over earlier this year. Mum died a peaceful death, and her funeral is to be shortly held.

Moving onto a more brighter note. I am currently in year 10 at Stocksbridge High School. For some of the older readers out there, you might know this as 'fourth year', maybe? Anyway, I have just started my GCSE's, which has its ups and downs. Unfortunately, I have my mum's level of intelligence when it comes to maths; but, I do take after my mum's side of the family when it comes to art and creativity. This is strange though, I recently found out that nanny, my dad's mum was rather talented at drawing herself. Nanny passed away from breast cancer aswell. I was only 6 when this happened though, it it didn't really hit me at all. So yeah, I would say I exceed at art and Music. Oh yes, I am a drummer! I also play the keyboard and piano. I have an electric guitar, that I got for my birthday this year; but I very much doubt i'll ever learn to play it. Last year, in year 9, I was told I was in the top third of my year for science, which I found rather exciting! I don't know what level I am at this year, but I took 'double science' for my GCSE's, which means 5 hours of science a week, rather than a 4 hour science course or 'triple science', which means 6 hours a week! (one of the these lessons 1 hour before school starts on a MONDAY! Poor, poor science geeks!)

Moving away from the very dull and uninteresting topic of school. I don't really know what to say now actually. My whole life IS school. If it's not school, it's homework, if it's not homework, it's coursework. If it's not coursework it's after-school detentions! (Which actually, I have only got ONE, for being "disruptive" in Geography, back in year 7, out of the 10 years i've been at school! By the way, I no longer take Geography, seeing as I dropped that subject and am now studying History instead. I am so proud of myself!) At the weekends I like to go to Sheffield centre, which I more bluntly call, town. In town I hang around with my friends, have a laugh and buy extremely under-priced food from Somerfield, (YUM.)

I think i'll leave it there for now folks. I'll soon be updating and adding photos. (Most likely of myself and my artwork.)

Cheerio for now.
