My Weird World

Hey Guys!! Today is GCSE results day - which should be quite obvious to you if you live in the UK as it has been broadcasted everywhere . This is the day we have all been waiting for. 2 years of learning irrelevant facts and pointless equations by hours and hours of revision has all come down to this. My Results 6 As, 3 Bs and 1 C. Maths - 7 (old A) English Language - 6 (old B) English Literature - 7 (old A) Science Core - B Additional Science - A Religious Studies - A French - C History - A Music - B Textiles - A I am so unbelievably happy about these results. I can't believe that I managed to pass French considering my - quite frankly - lousy performance for the last 5 years. To have 6 As is incredible. Special thanks to:  All of my teachers for being (mostly) brilliant - particularly those who were awesome enough to hold intervention sessions after school - sometimes until 6 in the evening - just to make sure that we all did well.

Hey guys, WARNING:  This is a very unstructured, rambling blog post.  It's Monday today which means that there are only 3 days until my results day. I'm starting to panic. I left school after my last exam on the 16th of June. That is a very long time to wait for results. Up until now, I have remained relatively calm, mainly because I've kept repressing any thoughts about GCSEs and have distracted myself. It has all caught up with me. Pretty much every waking moment is consumed by worries of my results. Last night I could not sleep and as I was laying in bed my mind kept playing over possible situations for Thursday morning. The thing is, I know it's pointless. I know that the exams are already over and there is nothing I can do to affect the results now. And I also know that I was predicted all As so I should have nothing to worry about - but I still do. Next year I want to take: English Literature Politics Religious Studies Music However, to take...

Hey guys, So it is the middle of the summer holidays. I have my GCSE results day in less than two weeks and college is slowly closing in on me. Last week I decided to open up Youtube and search 'yoga'. I did some yoga on my bed and felt so much better afterwards. This is when I decided that I was going to start doing yoga again. (I did yoga throughout GCSEs) I went and bought a yoga mat because I was determined to succeed at doing yoga regularly - for anyone interested, it cost about £7. Why I like doing yoga: It makes me feel productive. If I wake up in the morning and do 15 minutes of yoga, that is one thing I can cross off my to do list. Also, it makes me want to continue being productive for the rest of the day. It helps with my dancing.   I dance every week. However, because we have a different schedule during the summer, I only dance on Mondays and Tuesdays which means there is a massive gap in my physical activity. I used to be really stiff on Monday be...

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...
