Productivity

Heyo Guys!
                   Schools been very stressful this week. Adjusting back to a routine is hard and difficult, epically when you're getting back to exams and so one. However, returning to something (thats compulsory) is okay at time. Like I said, returning to a routine takes time, but its easy to improve it.

Recently, my productivity levels are much higher than before. Since I've started school again, Ive had to change from "auto pilot" to "manual". Nothing's automatic as I've had 6 weeks so Ive managed to change my habits.

The first thing i noticed was that I stopped biting my nails. Now, my anxiety certainly doesn't help when it comes to nail biting, but somehow, I've managed to grow them out. I know this isn't huge but it's something I've never been able to do before now. Furthermore, Ive become a lot neater. My favourite thing to do is to add things to my bedroom, like fairy lights, candles etc. (I actually strip clean my bedroom. 3 hours of cleaning was so worth it!).

When school started I thought I'd become incapable to work and wake up and all that jazz. But I did! Sure, I still hate school with a burning passion but hey, it's almost over right? I think I changed my lifestyle by starting to wake up at 6 (only on weekdays, like i hibernate on weekends), my school starts at 8:25, but I meet Fandom and some of her friends at 7:20 at her house and mop about outside for a bit. It's given me a little bit more time to get ready and it's defiantly let me appreciate sleep waaaaaaayyy more. In addition I've booked my week full of after school clubs. My enrichment timetable goes like this:
- Monday, first hour- art/ any other club I'd like to got to and second hour- drama (I've been doing drama since year 7)
-Tuesday, staff meeting day (normally I don't go, but if meetings are off I go to art)
-Wednesday, music (compulsory, as I have music lessons)
-Thursday, art (also compulsory as it's my option)
-Friday, Spanish (also compulsory, schools a b*tch)

Also, on the topic of school, Ive been way more organised and it is amazing!
Hear me out here. What the number one reason you organise and make a home work plan? you literally have an excuse if you don't completely finish a big piece of homework. Now, I'm not saying 'omg never do homwrk it sooooooo boring lol get bad grade!!!1!!1", like a teacher can't say you didn't put in the effort for a extremely big piece of homework when you've made a plan. Plus, it takes soon much anxiety off your shoulders. If you do the maths right, it becomes so easy to set times and honestly having your life organised is so nice.

Now, to talk about hobbies. I love doing all sorts of activities. I'm very creative when it comes to my interests. My love for instruments has blossomed. I did quit violin about 3/4 month ago, but that's because playing it was like a hour and I didn't find it fun anymore. I had a bad moment where i just hated playing piano because I didn't think I was good. But practice makes perfect! Ive taken 20 minutes out my day to play my favourite pieces and do finger exercises (that sounds dirty >.<). I also do around 30 minutes of ukulele (maybe? i just play most of the time). Leading from this, O really like going out and taking photos. I love photography and hopefully my mum will get me an online course to do. I think is you enjoy photography and writing etc, going to town is amazing! The 70p to get a return on the train is well worth snapping some amazing photos and relaxing in a coffee/book shop.

And finally, healthy eating. This ones a bit on the scales for me (see what I did there? no? Ill let myself out..) I know I'm pretty skinny and have a healthy BMI (i hope) but some places on my body I'm not the happiest about. I'm not saying you're not beautiful how you are, oh god no. It's just I feel more confident to say I ate a salad last night instead of burger. Plus, I can't run up the stairs without getting a stitch so exercise and good food makes me feel so much better about myself and its great for my well being anyway.

I hope this can be an inspiration to you and you'll become more productive as time goes on! But then again, don't change for anyone.

Take care.

Back to School Banter

Heyo Guys!
                   As I've said in the past I started school on the 3rd and well the first day was a bit eventful.  Since I've hung off the whole 'life blog' aspect, I thought I'll tell you about my first day.

So, to start off I woke up at 6am which was really weird for me since on a school day I normally wake up at 7. I didn't the whole standard getting ready. There was also a moment where I died because I thought I lost my tie and it was behind my blazer. Yep. Thats me.
Also, is it just me or are shoes actually tricks? Like seriously, my mum bought me some new school shoes and I tried the on and they fit perfectly. I'm talking, comfort, style and the perfect fit. And every time once it comes to actually wearing them on the school day BOOM! shoe is a shapeshifter. I ended the days with stuffed tissue in them because they were too big, blisters, cramped toes (because my toes are weird okay), scuff marks and to be honest I would've been better with 2 squares of carpet and some elastic bands around my feet.

Anyway, I met Fandom and we walked to school and then sat in said school for an hour before lessons started. Fandom's much more popular than I am and I'm just acquaintances with, so without 15 minutes I was on my own and met with about 2 of my friends that had arrived.

After an hour my year was sent down to assembly were I freaked out outside because the most horrible people sat beside me. The lass was saying the schools worst than prison to the lad next to me because she was sent there after beating some kid up (yep thats public school) while the lad on the other side of me got really angry because a teacher told us to line up properly. My head teacher kept going on and on about how we were lucky and how our head of year won't take crap and shell upset us and that if we dont feel extremely lucky we should leave and tell our parents that we want to move. By the way we've all tried that, didn't work. Then she went on about make up even though if you slapped her you have to wipe her orange face off your hand. Good times.

Also in assembly (in Chummy's that is) a lad got really angry at said headmistress swore-every name under the sun- and stormed out while punching a massive 3D  display down. So that was funny. She told everyone they were a disgrace haha we know sweetie.

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. But I want to say you know that reason I didn't blog for ages? Yeah the mountains of homework? It was all for nothing because my teacher didn't even ask for it. Im going to stab someone. 

How was your first day? Did it go how you expected it to?

Take care.
