Deep things....

Hello

So this year my school choir got the opportunity to perform (with other school choirs from around the area, local brass band and VERY talented solo performers) at our local circus.

For months we have been meeting up every lunch to practice Christmas carols and taking time out of school (we had to catch up in our own time) to go to rehearsals. These rehearsals varied from 4 hours long to about 8 hours. I have did this last year and during Primary school as well. I have to say that even though it is physically and mentality demanding, it is such a good experience.

I don't think I could fully explain all of my emotions as I was sat in the Hippodrome circus, facing the audience on the other side of the ring. I sing alto (lower part harmony) so I was put with all the boys from my school since all the girls from my school sing higher. It was really fun, though. As the music in the background stopped and the audience went silent, I began feeling nervous. Anyway, whilst I was singing I realised just how awesome we sounded together and how all the hours that we put in were totally worth it. The audience were enjoying themselves and we were too.


Sometimes we don’t join clubs at school because they take up too much time or that we are not the best at the skill (I am definitely NOT the best singer). I am so glad that I have been involved with our school choir because if you look at just that one trip I met tons of new people, learnt new songs, developed new skills and had the best couple of months ever. Being able to sing at that venue was awesome. But what was truly amazing was thinking about how we managed as a group (literally about a thousand kids) to sound stunning. For those 3 or 4 months, I felt like we were a family (cliché I know).

Whoa, that was deep! I should stop now before I enter a portal of deepness until the end of time…. Too much?

5 Easy Summer Productivity Tips

Hey guys,  I have recently realised that I have wasted a hell of a lot of my extensive summer. I finished school back in June and to be honest, I haven't really done a lot since then. So, in an effort to stop procrastinating, I have included some new things into my daily life to help me be more productive. 1. Get a planner. Throughout the school year, I always have a planner and write down everything I need to do during the day. Why have I never thought of keeping one during the summer? I find when I physically write down a to do list, I am much more likely to get stuff done. 2. Have a timetable.   This one will probably be more controversial. Now, I'm not saying plan out your entire day minute by minute. However, if you say to yourself 'I am going to read one chapter of my Literature text at 8 pm' and write it down, it will make sure you stay on top of things and get them done. 3. Have fun.   Go outside, spend time with family and friends and do thing...

The Day Before GCSEs | Thought Bubble

Hey guys I take my first GCSE exam on Tuesday. In some ways, I am terrified. The thought that two years of solid hard work could all go down the drain if I have a bad day is scary. I have bombed mock exams in the past so I know what it feels like to walk out of the exam hall feeling like it's all gone wrong. But to do that on the real exams would be devastating. However, I am feeling reasonably calm. I started revising pretty much since the start of year 10. I have done past paper after past paper, made thousands of flashcards (quite literally) and have covered my walls in revision from floor to ceiling. I feel prepared. This is strange. I always thought I would be really stressed in the run up to exams. But honestly, it's a day before and I'm feeling fine. Last week, I posted a list of non-school related things that I wanted to achieve during the exam period. I have already started on some of them. It feels nice to allow myself time off despite t...

5 things to do before a new school term

Hello In England, the school year is split into 3 terms and 6 half terms. At the end of each term there is a two week break. At the end of this break I like to do a few things to get ready for the new term. 1. Sort out my pencil case. At the end of the term, I am usually left with a pencil case full of pens that don't work. So I just swap out the old ones with new ones. The last thing you want is to go back to school after Christmas with 7 pens that have all run out. 2. Re-organise my school stuff. I put all of my books in one place, stock up on equipment, put revision in folders etc. 3. Tidy my bedroom. Completely sort it out. I get rid of all of the things that I don't use or don't need and re-organise everything else.This only needs to be done 3-4 times per school year. 4. Get a lot of sleep. After all, it is the holidays. I tend to loose a lot of sleep during the school week so I try to get as much sleep as humanly possible in the holidays. 5. Quickly review...
