Missing Teachers

Heyo Guys!
                   My teacher has gone missing. He's dropped off the end of the earth or has run away with a pack of bears.

You see my Spanish teacher disappeared from my class about a month ago. This was extremely weird as he us the head of language and we had a load of mocks coming up. Not only this but we were supposed to be organising a trip for going to Spain to promote choosing language for A level. (Yeah i'll pass on working for people for 8 hours in blistering heat and trying to talk to people in broken Spanish thanks). He left us and literally no one know where he's gone, not even the teachers.

You see, this happened last year. Half way through the spanish course my female teacher left for about 9 months. Eventually we were taken away from the supply teacher that only knew pythagorus let alone which ending to use on "trabajar". We were given the teacher I'm supposed to have now. He a really good teacher and he was much better but my other teacher didn't turn up.

The amount of conspiracy theories were unbelievable.I heard she left, got sacked, became pregnant, tried killing herself and taking time off for depression (like really?), her brother was killed, she was killed, she went to uni, moved to spain and finally smacked the head teacher and ran off. Public school everybody. She's back now, but we still don't know where she went and why.

I really hope my teacher comes back though. He knew are class and how each of us worked. His methods of teaching were perfect for us. But now, we've been given a supply again. We have this horrible teacher with greasy blonde hair put in a ponytail and always wears the same outfit and is horrendous. Think about your least favourite teacher and how terrible are. Now imagine a thousand of them compressed into one horrible woman who's crap at teaching. Thats the one everyone calls "stringer". She will literally shout at you for everything.

I was shouted at because she stole my whiteboard. The previous class didn't wipe it properly so there we a couple word on it so she took it from me and put in on another table. So the girl next to me who I'm good acquaintances with, stood up to go get it me back. I swear down, I've never seen a person spin round so fast as stringer proceeded to start shouting for getting out our seats. She stormed over to our table and then noticed I didn't have a whiteboard and goes;
"WHY HAVENT YOU GOT A WHITEBOARD I SAID WE ARE DOING WHITEBOARD WORK. DONT YOU LISTED????"  So I explained why the girl didn't do anything wrong and she took my white board so I can't write anything. So then she called me stupid because I can't write on top of writing. tbh she's the stupid one because you know these things called "board rubbers" exist :000

Honestly, it's so silly. I go to an academy and yet they can't keep our teachers in school. My PE teacher is never in lesson, my english teacher is rarely in lesson, my spanish teachers keep getting abducted by aliens.

Anyway, that's my experience. What's your teachers' like? Have any of yours disappeared? Tell me below, I love reading your comments!

Take care.

Exams

Heyo Guys!
                   As you may know I've been through a couple of actually important exams recently and I'd like share my thoughts and experiences on them!

I noticed this half way through a history exam, coursework thingy me bobby. I don't get really bad exam stress unless it's like a spanish exam or it's super important for example. I normally just got super bored it them and tired. Then again that could be due to the fact I stay up till half 1 in the morning and wake up at 6... oops. Like, exams are important and we shouldn't slack on them but when there's the equations and the statics and the 3rd reason Hitler was a plonker and just urrrrgggghhhhh. It's just so boring! All the words just fall into the bottom of the page and I'm just sat here like: "this is a sign from the holy lord that this exam desk is not my place". I'm not as bad as Magnet who finishes her paper in 10 minutes and doddle a mona lisa on her arm and get an A*. Okay, maybe I wish I was as bad as her...

Anyway, I just can't concentrate it's like you're just there, and so is the test and the questions and you can't do anything about it. I still try though, don't get me wrong, I'll revise and get an alright grade but sometimes I can't be bothered if it's for the teacher's seating plan. Not to mention about my nervous habits.

You see when I'm doing a test, I'll fidget around and make noise. Like, a lot of noise. This isn't intentional, it's more me trying to pick up a calculator and drop it on the table for the 47th time and it actually sounds like I've throw it threw the window and killed 3 year 7s in the process. I'm terrible for it! Honestly, wether it's me sneezing and saying bless me way too loud or flipping a page and it sounding like I've just ripped apart a dictionary or trying to hold in a cough and then exploding with noise and chocking and it's just not very nice.

Also, teacher's just hate me. Like, no please leave because I've getting my 8th pencil out if my pocket as my 7th has just rolled under the table and I'm too awkward to pick it up. I'm not getting my phone. I'm a good kid, okay! Stop looking at me like I've just flipped the table and set fire to my exam sheets. I mean, don't even get my started on cheating. I'll be sat doing some 2003 science test and literally the kid opposite me will take my book let and copy my answers. Thing is, if this is a classroom, absolutely no one cares. No one gets shouted at and hey, I'm on good terms with everyone as I let them copy my work. (PSA don't actually cheat, you will be instantly disqualified if caught by the right person, also, you need to give your own effort and try your best!)

Okay, okay, I might be exaggerating just a little bit. So, what's your experiences with exams/class tests? This is just my perspective. Maybe your school or country does them differently? Tell me! I love hearing about your point of view!

Take care.

I actually want to do a sport?

Heyo Guys!
                  I'm actually done apologising for not blogging because I always do it and lets face it, theres no point in saying sorry aha.

So, now that my writing block has stopped for once, I have an operation from quite a weird place. A couple days ago in P.E we started trampolinging and I very quickly fell in love with it. Sure, I got extremely anxious having to get up  in front of all the girls in my group (the most popular girls are in my group) and jump but I think I'm okay at it to be honest. However, one of the girls does it after school along with GCSE P.E (yeah, I'll pass on that one thanks) and like oh my god! she is sooo good at it. Her form is beautiful (oops my queer's showing aha). If you've ever watched an anime called "free!", there's a character called Rae and he joined the swim club because he thinks it's beautiful. I relate to this because I've never been flexible and I'm to award to do a team sport. Trampolining is a simple but elegant sport, which is independent and something that will keep me in shape.

I've asked my parents if I'd be able to stay at a club near by, and they said they'd consider it! I was going to start running but living in northern England and trying to not get bullied by some lads in hoodies (who are also stealing your neighbours bin for some reason) is extremely difficult. Something, like this sport will be therapeutic, I hope. I'll meet new people, even if I have a mental breakdown trying to say hello and I'll pick up a hobby that will help me become healthier as of now I can't run to the bus stop without coughing up my lungs. Plus, wouldn't it be awesome to stand up on the trampoline in front of everyone in my P.E lesson and be good at it instead of panicking and almost fly off its springy deathtrap bed?!

It'll take some hard work, but it's better late than never! I think I'll try stretches every day for a while until we actually get some details on the club. It's probably no gonna happen as I have the energy span of an actual potato but I'll try my hardest.

What about you? Do any of you like or do any sports?

Take care.

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.

who I want to be

Heyo Guys!

                   sorry Ive been away for so long. Ive been busy with a lot if things, as well as like 5 booklets of homework to do, being on holiday, a funeral (yay:/) and an existential crisis. So, how was your summer?! :D

Anyway, to come back I wanted to do what my aesthetic was best at doing- being deep. Woah, not like that! Basically, I'd lost motivation to do a blog post in a while but after watching dodie clark and lucy moon do a cover of faces going places, the words hit me. I'm young enough not to go my own path. But it got me thinking how much I loved train stations.

You see, I love a sense of adventure. Not indiana jones style but more lets go into town at 10 at night with a camera and curiosity. My parents are pretty strict so doing that is pretty much off the list. But, I plan to.

I want to heavy layered hair which is the colour of chocolate. I want to wear my maroon beanie and some berry wine lip stain. I want to wear my black skinny jeans, leather jacket, a tight chocker and my worn out boots. I want my eye shadow to be a dark cool brown or grey and to have thick eyeliner. And granted I have most of these things but I don't want to be anyone. I want to be the girl at the train station with bokeh in her hair. Has a nice ring don't you think? I don't want people to know my story. But I'm fascinated by other people's. I'd have a camera wrapped round my neck and a notepad my side. And I'd sit there until theres no people to photograph or write a story based on them.

I'm thinking about making a tumblr account on it. Maybe, i don't know. My lifes boring, but maybe a person I photograph with blurred lights behind them dies tomorrow. And all of you people remember them. You don't even know their name, just a story and an assumption on them. It's poetic I think. Normally you're just a person in a coffee shop reading a book that belonged to your mother? Maybe. But no one takes notice. But maybe someone does. And that fascinates me.

So, what do you think? Yay or nay idea?

As always, take care.

Birthday Haul

Heyo Guys!
                 So as some of you may know it was my birthday on the 30th of July. (I didn't post for a while because it was a big weekend) and I said I'd do a haul of all the stuff I got. So here it is!

1) Shoes, these aren't you're casual heels or whatever but they're joker converse! My little sister chose them. 

2) A ukelele! I got this early and had been wanting it for a while so my parents bought me it. It's a proper one, cost about £55, but that's how you get a good quality. 

3) Another present I got from my parents was a camera! As you know, I love photography, so I guess out with the crappy iphone camera. It's a sony cybershot. 

4) Linking with photos. My mums friend got me some photography stuff. The was a basic all you need to know book and a photo album which I'll be sure to fill up. 
5) Life with a sprinkle of glitter. Chummy got me this as it's Louise Pentlands (Sprinkleofgiltter) book. 

6) staying with the YouTube theme. One of my really good friends (Let's call her 'Random') got me a YouTube annual. 

7) More books! This I got from my uncle (mums older brother) and his fiancĂ©. They're; 'The Aisle of the Lost' and 'City of Bones' from the Decendants novels and the mortal instruments. 

8) this ones probably my favourite. (I have a problem) and it's my Dan and Phil shop t-shirt. This is from also my uncle (my mums younger brother) and my Aunty. 

9) this is something I bought with my birthday money. It's a graphics tablet. The model is a UGEE. It was quote cheap from amozon and if you want to get into digital art I highly recommend. 

10) Fandom (being the amazing best friend she is) got me a photo frame with my favourite picture of us. Which is the time we went to see big hero six which the dress theme being Phil Lester since it was his birthday the same day. We wore cat whiskers and was probably one of my favourite days ever. 

So that's about it! I feel spoilt rotten but I've enjoyed this birthday so much for a change. I would like to thank anyone who requested this post too :p

Take care.
