My Weird World

Hello Internet (*salutes*) My school did mocks in November/December time and, well, this week has been interesting. On Monday I opened my mock results and we had a full day off timetable to go to sessions where they talked about how we could improve. Mock results: 5As, 4Bs :-) On Wednesday I had my last parents evening and my teachers basically talked about how to get As/A*s and gave me loads of handouts. By the time it got to Friday I couldn't even see my desk as it was flooded with loads of handouts and sheets of paper. Time for a sort out. I threw out all of the useless junk and put all of the relevant bits into piles according to their subject. I then filed them away in a folder, using dividers to separate each category. Then it was time for the revision timetable. My first GCSE is 17 weeks away so I think now is a good time to start my revision. At first, I used an online timetable but, to be honest, I was disappointed. It took me about 45 minutes to...

Happy new year everyone! As I do every year, I am writing some new years resolutions for 2017. These will (hopefully) guide me through the year. 1. Meditate regularly. 2. Drink enough water, especially during exam season. 3. Spend more time with friends outside of school. 4. Try hard for GCSEs but make sure you are healthy. 5. Maintain regular exercise (maybe go for a run??) 6. Don't panic when you go to college, it's going to be fine. 7. Meet up with your cousins more. 8. Write more blogs - release any thoughts. 9. Read for pleasure on the weekends instead of watching Youtube. 10. Be proud of yourself. Take pride in your work and how far you have come. Have optimism. 2017 is the year I have been working up to. It is the year I sit my GCSEs. These resolutions reflect that I need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and not get too caught up in exams. Until next time, -Emicool

Happy New Year! I have taken quite a big break with this blog, just because life got a bit busier. However, I am back now to do one of my favourite annual blog posts - a reflection on the resolutions I made for the year. 1. Take care of your skin and body. I did step up m game with this one - putting in a good facial routine more frequently. However, I have been lazy and have not been doing it every day which is a shame. 2. Read a little every day. Failed. Although I have been reading more frequently, I certainly haven't been reading every day. Looking back at this now, I think it was a very unachievable goal for someone who normally didn't read a lot. 3. Write more stories. I started to write more but then didn't. I suppose more frequent blogging would have been a good way to write more stories... 4. Be patient. Patience is definitely been something I have worked on in 2016 and I think I am nearly there. I would Say I have passed this one! 5. Res...
