Back from Temporary Hibernation so I Can (Totally) Do Stuff

Hi all!

I'm back!

Did you miss me? Did you miss the email pinging into your inbox, did you miss reading my (obviously hilarious) words scrawled out across the screen?

Who am I kidding, of course you did.

Anyway, I got back a few days ago (go and read my holiday posts if you haven't already- link is here) and I am so tired. To be honest though, people keep asking if I am jetlagged, and the real answer is that I am so used to always feeling tired during the day and awake at night that I haven't noticed any difference.

But today I wish to tell you all about the brilliant experience that I had of visiting Parkside Sixth Form College!

Basically, I have decided to do the IB next year (instead of A-Levels) and that leaves two schools in the area: Parkside and Impington. The Open Day for Impington is next week (keep an eye out for that post- or, better yet, subscribe! Please!) but the one for Parkside was today, and let me tell you this: it's really hard to work out if you'll feel happy there when you're cold and trying not to fall asleep as people are talking to you.

Not that they were boring, of course- the Geography teacher we spoke to knew the Geography teachers from my school (including my old form tutor) and everyone was so enthusiastic, but I couldn't really be bothered.

😞

To other news.

Three weeks until Mocks! Yay! Totally looking forward to those...

Also, my sister finally finished editing 'The Forgotten Ones' so I am reaching for the light now. Another thing can be crossed off my to-do list. Which I love doing.

Oh! and also!

NaNoWriMo starts soon (November 1st) so I'm all ready for that (not). Last year I wrote a novel (it's 92000 words now) but due to Mocks/a terrifying flute exam soon, I have decided to do a less ambitious project, and just continue with a project (it's on Wattpad- link to the first chapter is here).

Basically, I have to write about 1500 words a day (to get to 50000 by the end of November). I did it last year, but so long as I finish my story on Wattpad, I'm happy.

If you want to check up on how I'm doing, check the blog for updates and check my Wattpad for new chapters (or subscribe to my blog and follow me on Wattpad...).

And so I leave you with this wonderful image that I feel sums up everything right now:


Bye!

Carers Week

Hi everyone! It feels like it's been ages since I last posted anything (or really wrote anything for that matter) but hey, exams! Anyway, this week (11th-17th June) is Carers Week, so I thought that I'd do some raising of awareness for Young Carers. First of all, shout out to my friend for standing up in assembly to talk about this, and for all those who ran the cake stall at school (they raised £69!). She's so amazing, and most of the following information comes from her. There are three main types of care that someone can provide-  physical (e.g helping to get dressed), practical (e.g shopping) and emotional (e.g comforting them if they’re upset or anxious etc). My friend thinks that emotional is probably the hardest to deal with, and it can worry carers a lot, especially when they’re at work or school (is that person ok, has anything happened to them etc), and I have to say that I agree. For young carers, the most common situations are looking after a paren...

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...
