There's Always Tomorrow

Isn't it great when you wake up in the morning and just feel motivation and joy surging inside you? I love days like that (like today, luckily) although I also tend to drink too much coffee on those days and therefore have way too much energy that comes out by everything kinda trembling.

My hands are possibly shaking a little bit as I'm writing this.

Of course, the flipside of days like this are the bad days, where nothing really works and you have to fight back tears all the time and you just want to curl up in your pyjamas and sleep.

I had a day like that yesterday. Unfortunately. I think it was partly due to the fact that I'm a little anxious/stressed (the thought of results day fills my stomach with dread). But today's post isn't a 'how-to guide' in order to get through bad days. Nor is it a request for sympathy, as I know that everyone feels bad once in a while.

I suppose that it's more of a reminder that not everything is bad all the time. For instance, we live in a world where there are so many books and stories- how amazing is that! Also, coffee. And tea (mostly Earl Grey because it is the superior tea). And television. And wonderful music. And mattresses, coupled with duvets and fluffy blankets.

Anyway. Good things: focus on the good things in life.

I'm reading 'The Count of Monte Cristo' at the moment, and man, is it a book. I'm about 3% of the way through apparently (which is up to Chapter 5 I think). And I have started making a list of my thoughts throughout these few chapters. There are no spoilers as I have no got that far through the plot yet, but if you have read it, enjoy these.

I guess that this is also a way of reading the book without reading it.


  1. So Dantes definitely killed the old captain, right? I feel like he did.
  2. Dantes really loves his dad, huh. That's cool.
  3. The dude definitely wants to money, but despite the fact that he's a rubbish lier, Dantes and the dad are just really stupid.
  4. Mercedes (Dantes' fiancee) is a really annoying name because I keep picturing a car.
  5. The only reason Fernand isn't going to commit MURDER is because his love (Mercedes) would kill herself if Dantes died??? What?!? That isn't the ONLY reason you shouldn't commit murder, you weirdo!
  6. "Oh well, if you can't murder your enemy, you get them arrested!" says Fernand, proud of his plan. Um, no??
  7. 'Muddlehead' is not a suitable insult. Try harder next time.

There you go. The first few chapters of the book, as told by me.

And remember, if you're having a bad day today, it's okay. Tomorrow might be a good day. There's always tomorrow.

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
