What's hot in the world and internet
1.ICC World Cup happened and Australia took home the trophy as expected.I was a bit disappointed with my country though,as their loss against South Africa was actually a bit embarassing:)
2.Fast and Furious 7 is in theaters!I am quite excited to see the movie,and I am also thrilled that Jason Statham is returning after his cameo in the last movie.I love that guy:)
Personally my March
Now we come to the most interesting part:)
1.If you knew me before I created Chasing Faerytales,you would have known that I sat my O/level examinations last December.For those who don't know,it's a public exam every Sri Lankan student has to sit for by the age of 16.And I just got my results a few days before,and I've got As in all nine subjects and became the topper of my school!I am kinda overwhelmed with the news,and I was literally dancing with joy when I heard it.
2.I went camping with my friends for a few days.It was a school trip and we went out of town to a place with no wifi and no electronic devices.But we had so much fun and I think I can laugh about the stupid things we did there throughout my life:)
3.I became sick:(I was terribly sick for a whole week during the latter part of the month.It was terrible,and I hated the feeling.But I am feeling quite better now,and I am ready to be back in action.
4.I had a marathon of Martin Scorsese movies.I am a huge fan of the man,and his movies are terrific.My personal favourite is probably Goodfellas.
5.I started watching Ellen Degeneres videos,and never stopped:)I mean,that woman is a genius,and watching her speak is addictive!I've always been a great fan,and I just renewed my love for her humour and shows.
In addition to that,I also want to say that I am going to start my Advanced Level on the 18th of May.I've selected Literature as my subject,and I am quite excited to start school.
So there you go,that's my March.
How did yours go?
