Im Kiwi 17- but 18 in under a month woop!! I seriously cant wait!! I care for my dad who has schizophenia n have been on this site for 2years now i think.

My manic half term

Hiya everyone,

My half term has been absolulty manic. I cant believe how much i have been doing in this past week. Dad hasn't been so great- but he's tablets for his illness have changed so hopefully that will make him better soon. Its to try and stop his shaking because they are really worried about how much he is shaking. I have had to do so much school work this week its been untrue- dont even think i have finished it all yet ahhhh. I still have got to do some art and drama- i have far to much to get done its never going to be done in time. A-Levels are really really hard, never mind though- it gets me where i want to be.

I have recently got a new oboe teacher- she is amazing- im on past grade 8 (highest grade) peices and i can actually play them its really weird. I have also been learning the basoon- its going well. Only problem is is that i have to find a bassoon so i dont have to rent it anymore.

Do any of you ever wonder what life would be if you didnt become a young carer?? As much as know being a young carer has changed my life for the better i would love to change it. Just for one day it would be nice to not have to worry about my dad- and to come home to be able to have a proppa conversation with him.

Anyway thats whats going on atm just fort id blog it,

Kiwi
