We're already in spring and time is seriously ticking away. It feels like only yesterday I was putting up my Christmas tree listening to Wham's 'Last Christmas' and now we're over a quarter through this academic year. Especially as I leave school in May to begin my exams, I have a much shorter school year than usual.
The work load is pure stress. Having to revise for about 10 subjects, plus homework, coursework and catch up sessions after school = My brain exploding. The pressure that is put on us as students is seriously like nothing I've ever experienced before, so particularly for our year group its difficult to really discipline ourselves and realise how important this year is. In fact, last night when I had loads of homework and so much revision to do, I ended up lying on my bedroom floor with a pounding headache telling my self to calm down as I felt mentally pushed to my limit.
Since last night, its made me realise I need to get on top of things, my work and revision isn't going to do itself. But when doing this, if I feel I need a break just to de-stress then I'll allow myself to do so.
Moving onto something much more positive, I have my prom dress! Now I have to admit there is nothing more satisfying than finding a dress you love, trying it on and have it fit like it was made to measure. Mine fit like a glove which made me fall in love with it so much more. I have been one of the people to get their dress sorted out early as my mum and I agreed it would be much better to get my dress and everything sorted before revision really starts to kick off so that I can completely focus on my exams and not my dress. Plus looking online, a lot of the dresses I would have gone for were sold out completely. So I'm glad I got my dress early, because they seem to be selling out fast. In fact, when looking online, I found that my dress wasn't even on the website anymore, and when I ordered it there were only 3 left!
I'm really looking forward to the end of this year, as I feel I'm really ready for a change. I'm not moving school, but staying in my school's Sixth Form, but still the education system will be different and so will the subjects. I get to finally drop subjects like Maths and Science which I despise so much you wouldn't even believe. I'm greatly anticipating being treated like an adult and wearing a new (much nicer) uniform. On a sad note, one of my best friends is most likely leaving our school to go to a different college, so I'm really dreading the day where I have to properly say goodbye to her. (Still hoping she doesn't leave.) We also have a very long summer this year which is motivating me to work hard now.
So in summary, my school life is pretty depressing right now, but I'm highly optimistic about the near future.
Till next time
