Can You Tell That I Don't Plan These Posts? At All?

Woo, it's me again! I know, I know, I haven't written anything for *checks the last post* 27 days, but I have been busy.

Sixth Form and all. Which I shall (maybe) talk about a bit today, because so many people do not realise what the IB is about and what it entails. You should understand why I'm so busy (and also, I should tell you that this past weekend I went to Browns for afternoon tea on Saturday, and I had harvest festival including a harvest lunch on Sunday morning. Very busy)

I'm into the fifth week of school now, and I must say that I am exhausted. Hopefully, it will not be like this in the future, but I am really very tired. Another thing to say is that I'm kind of getting into a routine with homework and everything, so that's cool.

BUT FIVE MORE DAYS UNTIL HALF TERM!!

Anyway. *coughs*

If you don't know anything about the IB, you should know that I'm doing six different subjects (3 periods of Physics, Social & Cultural Anthropology, and French) (5 periods of Maths, English Lit/Lang, and History) as well as CAS hours, ToK, and an Extended Essay. I mean, I haven't actually started to essay yet (yay) but I have started ToK and tracking CAS hours (creativity, activity, service).

Actually, updating my blog counts as creativity hours! Minutes, though. I don't spend hours writing blog posts. I have other things to do.

Today, for example. Amongst my other homeworks, I have completed a poster about Political
Cartoons, to put into my English folder as a quick way of revising. It's beautiful (as you can see), although I may have spent longer on it than I possibly should have if I think about time organisation.

Yes, we are analysing political cartoons in my English lessons. In my Higher English lessons, we're analysing Instagram stories, if that makes this any better. Next term, we're doing a play in Higher and a graphic novel in Standard, so that's cool.

And I haven't really done anything but school. Sorry about that- my blog is not exactly filled with interesting stories- wait.

So I had a dream the other day: we were camping (as we do. a lot) and, for some reason, we took my sister's guinea pigs with us. They were very well behaved though, just chilling in their cage. And then we bought a hamster, which was adorable, but the cage we bought it did not have big enough bars and the hamster could escape. At night, the rest of my family went to sleep (rude) and I was on hamster watch. Basically, every time the hamster escaped, I had to catch it and put it back in the cage. It ran outside a few times, I think, so there was lots of diving in the dark going on. Then I played a lullaby on my phone and it went into the cage, curled up, and went to sleep.

Maybe my subconscious thinks that I'm the pied piper?

If you're new to my blog, I do apologise for the randomness of this post (and the terrible dream) but feel free to subscribe and check out some of my other posts:


But thank you for reading this post, and I hope that you (newbies and oldies) enjoy future posts. I'm now going to do maths homework. What fun. :)

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
