So Sorry About All The Questions

Do I have anything exciting/of importance to say today?

No, not really.

Do I feel the need to post something because it's been too long?

Yes, definitely.

First of all, 'The Forgotten Ones' is to be published tomorrow! *cheering* Thank you to everyone who has pre-ordered it or pledged to buy it tomorrow- make sure that you leave a review!

Secondly, what interesting thing has happened in my life today? That's normally what I write about, isn't it?

Wow. There are a lot of questions today.

Anyway, what happened? Well, we had a History lesson that was what I thought Year 11 would actually be like (inside jokes and music and *revising*). Basically, our teacher was playing music and then Rasputin (by Boney M) came on, and one person in the class said that she knew the whole dance from Just Dance.

So our teacher put a YouTube video of it up and she (along with two other brave souls) danced to it while we all cheered and mostly laughed.

If you've never seen the dance for Rasputin, go and watch it (or dance to it) and you'll see why we were laughing.

That's pretty much all that happened today.

I'm just so tired. We still have another one and a half days left of school and I just... bleugh.

But it's the weekend and so I can sleep (and it's pizza Friday at our house!).

Have a good weekend, and don't forget to buy my book (if you're able to). ☺️

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

Steam trains move slowly but surely

Hello :) Those of you who know me well will probably have listened to at least one rant about feminism, especially after having studied Invisible Women by Caroline Criado-Perez in English. And those of you who have also read this wonderful book will (hopefully) be joining me in ranting. One of the parts of this book discusses women's health and medicine, and how the concept of the default male (a major concept throughout the entire book) prevents women's health issues from being properly understood and treated. There were many parts of the book that made me so angry that I had to put it down and just stare into the distance. It was probably quite a good thing that we were studying it, because it meant that I only had to read a few chapters at a time and so the anger wasn't building up BUT, the revolution is here! Slowly, it comes, like a steam train. One of the parts of the revolution concerns actually listening to and collecting data on women's health so...  Please fil

Do You Think That Dragons Would Like Campervans?

Because I haven't actually written anything on my blog for a bit, the modern look threw me once again. Oops? But hello! I hope that everyone is doing okay with everything that's going on at the moment. Our history teacher said that we're living through history at the moment and that it is exciting (especially as a historian) but also terrifying. This came about because we were talking about primary sources and secondary sources and which is more reliable/accurate (because it's history, the answer is neither). If you wrote a diary about the events happening at the moment, is it more or less accurate/reliable than someone thirty years in the future writing about the events drawing from multiple sources? Haha isn't history great. It's fascinating and there are so many different interpretations that can come out of sources, much like English (we're studying Othello at the moment and I did go off on a mini-rant about how I don't like Cassio). Oh, and also I j
