Seasons

What's your favourite season?

Mine's Autumn (not just because it's when my birthday is) because I love the smells, and I love curling up in front of a fire to read a book and drink hot chocolate.

I also love being able to wear my Slytherin scarf without melting.

I wasn't actually planning on posting anything else today, but I just published four poems on Wattpad (here) and I'd like you to check them out!

What's your favourite season, and what's your favourite poem?

I Find Out A Load About The Railway Industry

Image
Heya friends! I've been up to quite a lot recently (including finishing Draft One of my Maths coursework yesssss) and today, I decided to do some researching about women in the railway industry (to be fair, this is for a challenge badge but also I am interested in female empowerment and the state of equality/lack of in the railway industry is an excellent indication of general equality in Britain). So yeah. I found out a load about the railway industry and now you can too! At the birth of the railway near the beginning of the 19th Century (around the 1830s), the industry was structured in such a way to mirror how society worked. This meant that fathers and sons would follow each other into the industry while the women would become wives and mothers. They were, however, hired by rail companies to work although this work was prohibited to ‘women’s work’ such as cleaning and sewing. They were also able to be level crossing gatekeepers as it could be fitted in with family life - this p...

Living In A World Where Owning A House Is A Pipe Dream

So I'm watching this program on BBC iPlayer called Generation, which is a documentary by George Lamb, and it's all about youth and politics and lack of opportunities for youth and the need for social change. One guy said that his ambitions are to own a house and have a decent job. And that will make him happy. That shouldn't be the expectation for kids these days. The fact that housing costs so much that actually owning a house seems to be a pipe dream is stupid, and just wanting a job that means the bills can be paid is ridiculous. I do realise that I come from a family where we are expected to go to university and that I live in a pretty wealthy area, but I feel that I can comment on these things. Buying a house seems impossible, owning a car/paying for insurance is not going to happen, and I'll be paying off university loans for the rest of my life. I do have dreams, ambitions. I am (most likely) going to university and get a job that I love (beca...

Burning Chocolate Is (Totally) Allowed

On Monday, I went to an after school taster day at a Sixth Form College, and I tried an amazing lesson of English Lit/Lang, as well as a wonderful Physics lesson. Basically, we were looking at the topic of waves (interestingly, something that I have not studied before) and our teacher gave us some equipment to calculate the speed of light: a microwave without the rotating plate thingy, a normal ceramic plate, and a bar of chocolate. Interesting, right? Anyway, we were supposed to place the chocolate on the plate, then put it in the microwave. Because it was not rotating, the waves hit two points, and therefore burnt (slightly) two points on the bar. If we measured this distance and multiplied it by the frequency of the microwave, we would have a rough estimate of the speed of light. Oooh, science. And, by the way, *Do try this at home☺️ So, in our little group, we put the chocolate in the microwave and I turned it on (to 30 minutes because I don't understand h...
