The Start Of The School Year

Since starting year 12 life has been pretty packed. It’s made me realise I enjoy routine, a basic plan that I follow most days. Don’t get me wrong I love days free from plans where I can lie in bed until late and watch Gilmore Girls. But I also love having days just packed full of events both small and big.

I’m still looking for a balance between every aspect of my life, including blogging, seeing friends and school work. Sometimes it’s out of my control especially when I get numerous essays to write for school. But I’m trying and I shall carry on trying.

For A levels I’m taking Early Modern History, English Literature, Latin and Maths. Honestly I’m enjoying three and a half of them… half of my maths is not particularly fun for a teacher reason but hopefully in the new year things will change. Before I stepped into my first a level lessons I thought I knew which subject I was best at, enjoyed the most and would probably take at university if I decided to go. However once I got into my A levels I grew to learn that that subject wasn’t the one I strived the most in. A levels are a whole new game to GCSEs, they are deeper and wider in various ways. They are different.

Throughout year 11 I considered taking the majority of subjects I took at GCSE as I enjoyed them as they offered quite different class experiences and knowledge. But towards the end of my GCSE exams I identified which ones I wanted to learn more about or extend my abilities in.  Each A level subject I’m taking I picked for different reasons but they also share the same reason which is that I enjoy them the most. If you are reading this and having to decide which subjects to take, pick the ones you enjoy the most: Some people choose subjects based on the careers they want to go into but don’t favour those subjects, the careers you will enjoy the most follow the subjects you enjoy the most.
Currently I’m lost to what career I would like to go for but that’s okay. It’s a long way off. Now I’m trying to make the decisions that need to be made first like what university course I’m interested in or even if I want to go to university.
Merry Christmas.

November Days







November has flown past and now nearly December too. At the start of November I turned seventeen and was incredibly fortune enough to spend my birthday with two of my closest friends away from home. The weekend brought nights full of singing and laughing, walks along the sea, and moments I’d like to keep forever. I don't have many photos that I can show you but here are a collection of some, including copies of photos I took on a disposable camera.

Hope you've had a good week and have a great Christmas.
