Voila, with a Shiny New Post

So exams have well and truly started (yay) and my friend still told me that I needed to update my blog, and voila!

Hope you're happy, friend. ☺️

Exams done: French Reading/Listening, Biology 1, English Lit 1. To be honest, I think that they all went okay, for GCSEs.

It still doesn't feel like I'm doing actual, proper exams though. Will it ever? I don't know. Maybe when I get my results.

But that's ages away, and besides, I still have two more exams this week alone, so revising it is.

Fear not, however, for I am having rests and tea breaks (lots of tea breaks, because I love tea). I've been watching TV- like Ghosts (on BBC iPlayer) which was created by the old Horrible Histories cast, and also the new Taskmaster episode (I was actually crying with laughter yesterday when we watched it, which is, of course, better than just crying).

And tomorrow, as I go on Study Leave (which will be weird, no?) I will be hopefully going on a run. I mean, I could get up earlier to go for a run, but why would I do that to myself?

Ooh, and I had a new exam dream/nightmare last night! Basically, every so often, when I'm a bit stressed before an exam, I have a dream where it goes horribly wrong.

English Language: I could not turn the page over, so the only thing I could do for 105 minutes was write my name on the front

English Literature (last night): (we do one question about Macbeth and one about A Christmas Carol, by the way) so I started writing my answer to Macbeth, then realised that it was awful so screwed it up and threw it behind me (at the person sitting there I guess?) and started again. Then I didn't actually answer the Christmas Carol question and it was awful.

Ethics (saved the best 'til last): okay, so basically I wasn't doing too well so I stood up and ran out of the exam hall with my paper, saying that if they couldn't mark it then they couldn't fail me. Next thing I know, I'm running down the street to my house, pursued by the examiners in their cars (how I managed to outrun cars, I don't know because I can't even outrun my cat) and they still couldn't get my exam paper.

Epic.

I am also currently in the stage of my life where I am trying on various prom dresses, also known as the 'prom dress adventures'. Not going to lie, I'm not really enjoying it, mostly because I can't actually walk properly in them? I have to hitch up the front skirts when I walk, like some Victorian maid running, which I'm fairly sure isn't how it's supposed to go.

Oh well.

That's it for today, folks. Back to revision/work/sitting on your phone (@my little sister). Au revoir *bows*.

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...
