Hello and welcome, lovely person reading my blog! It's taken me about an hour to set this all up, partly trying to come up with a catchy URL..yes I know, 'roosygoosy' isn't exactly genius is it but you see, my surname is Roos so it just sprang to my o so simple mind! Anyway, it mainly took me so long as I was thinking about what I could do as my first blogpost but it seems obvious really! Introduce myself...duh! And have a rant about why my blog took me so long to set up, so it seems! So here's a bit about me...
My full name is Gabriella Molly Roos; Roos being my dad's name and my mum's married name, Molly after my great Grandma who we call Gran Gran (yep, she's 87 and still going strong!) and Gabriella, I guess just because my parents liked it! I'm not a massive fan of my name because I think it's quite boring especially as people know me as Gaby, not Gabriella however, I am so grateful to my mum for saving me from being called Megan which my dad had his heart set on (no offence if you're called Megan, I just don't think it would suit me). My name does have it's upsides though, I have been given vast amounts of nicknames in my life such as Gabs, Gibbles, Gib, G, Gidgems, Gabsta, Gabyrella, Gabstarooni, Gabrab, Gibby, Gabalar and so many more. I turned 16 in January this year and although it's a good age, I am currently having to endure the dreaded GCSEs which just make me want to curl up in a ball and die! Thankfully, I'm nearly finished, I have 3 more exams to go but unfortunately the hardest ones in my opinion; Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I can't wait until I finish on the 24th so that I can relax and get excited for prom on the 28th and have a reeeaaalllyyy long summer holiday!
I was born and raised in Cambridge in the UK...... in a playground is where I spent most of my days, chillin' out, maxin, relaxin all cool- NO Gaby stop. Even though I'm often complaining about the weather being rubbish or there not being any beaches etc, I actually do really enjoy living here, it is a beautiful city with lots to do and I am glad to call it home..eeekk apologies for the cheesiness! My parents got divorced about 11 years ago when I was about 6 and my brother, Jamie was about 10. My dad got remarried on the 3rd of June 2012 to his partner of 9 years, Helen. She's beautiful, funny, kind and just a general all round splendid person and from this I have gained a brother, Josh, 20 and a sister, Beki, 24, who is pregnant I might add!! And of course not forgetting our beautiful beagle, Darcey. My mum has been in a relationship with a man called Gavin, or Gavalar as I like to call him for 3 years. He is a really funny and lovely guy and I'm happy that he's with my mum! They got engaged last year but there are no wedding plans as they are yet to move in together. Gavalar has 3 little boys, Alfie, 6, Jack, 9, and Charlie, 11 (I think those ages are right...) who are, not gonna lie, a bit of a handful but a joy nonetheless!
I went to primary school at a place called St Luke's which was pretty lacking from an educational aspect (and a school lunches aspect..ssshhh) but I had so much fun and have a lot of good memories from there. Also, I think the school has made some major changes and improvements recently as they've got a new head teacher, new ways of teaching and even a uniform oooo!
This was our school motto and logo which I always thought was really cool and I still do.
My Secondary which I have recently left in the sense that I don't have any lessons any more but I still go in for exams, is called Parkside Community College and is situated at the very heart of Cambridge which is very useful!
This used to be our logo which I also thought was pretty cool...
...but unfortunately it is now this which I think is pretty dull and the motto is just cringy!
For years, Ofsted reported the school as 'outstanding' until this year when we were given a ranking of 'good'. I think the teachers were shocked but us students were not as we felt our grades slipping and our learning becoming less apparent each year. I hope that the school manages to get themselves back on track and start getting top grades again because it has potential to be amazing and some of the teachers are really inspiring people. Uurgh how depressing is this, writing about school?!
After my exams are over, I think this year is going to be a good one! I'm going to be going on holiday to Ibiza with my family and my best friend in the summer. We went two years ago but I have lost over 2 stone since then so I'll be able to enjoy myself even more! The weather is FINALLY looking like it's brightening up here in Cambridge yippeeeeeeee!!
Right, now time to read over what I've just written to see if I made any sense whatsoever and to cut out all the rambley bits. Thanks for reading my blog, I hope you enjoyed my first post and that you come back for more! I love your face.
Love and stuff xx
