Why Do Posts Have To Have Titles Anyway?

Hey! It's been a long time since I last wrote anything, but I haven't really achieved much in that long time.

Why haven't I written a post recently? Why, literally nothing worthy of any note has actually happened. 

I try to make my informative/social change blog posts more serious, and then everything else a little lighter, but nothing has really happened that is even remotely funny.

On an informative note: it was the International Day of the Girl on Thursday (11th October) and tomorrow (14th October) marks the anniversary of the Battle of Hastings!

Actually- that reminds me. Yesterday, in History, we acted out the Battle of Hastings! I played the part of an Anglo-Saxon warrior who was locked in a shield wall, before foolishly deciding that it would be a good idea to run after the 'fleeing' Normans.

I died, of course.

To be honest, I feel that this is how History should be taught. We watch a lot of documentaries (most from some of my favourite historians, although, of course, no one else actually knows who they are), and then we've acted out stuff. Last year, when studying the Vietnam War, we pretended to be USA squadron leaders and had to make decisions that would keep our men alive (the point was that it was impossible to keep our men alive, so we all failed miserably).

Oh!

Update on 'The Forgotten Ones': I've finished listening to it! If you follow my page on Instagram (@lara.h358), you'll know this, but I'm just spreading it around a bit more. Hopefully, it will soon be finished. ☺️

Anyway, I'll let you get back to your day/evening (I hope you're not reading this too late at night *squints suspiciously*) and wish you a good day. Thank you, as always, for reading, and please subscribe if you have not already!

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...
