So following the back to school theme, I thought I'd talk about my school life and bulling and other sort of school related topics, and my views on school!
So when I was younger I used to love school, and I would spend my summer just waiting for the first day back, but now with school being one of my main places for anxiety and panic attacks, I find my self kind of dreading it!
The same as everyone, there are some classes I enjoy, and some I hate. The way my school works is we change into our new years and start our new timetables and class schedules a month before be finish up for the summer holidays so the primary sevens can have their induction days (which is basically where they come up to high school for the first time to meet their teachers and get a feel for what high schools going to be like), and also so we know our classes and stuff for starting back and can get settled in pretty quickly.
In first and second year in my school, you don't get to choose your subjects, but going in to third year (which is the year I'm going into) you do, which everyone gets really excited about! So this year I chose biology (I really hate science but you have to take at least one). I also chose business management, graphic communication/design, art, german and for my social subjects I chose history and modern studies. I really wanted to take geography too but the maximum amount of social subjects you're allowed to take is two (which sucks because you're allowed to take all three sciences!) and then english, math and religious moral and philosophical studies (which is basically learning about religion and different ethnics and stuff) are all mandatory subjects.
So I've got quite a wide variation and even though if it was up to me I wouldn't take graph com or biology or business, you need to take one design, one IT and one science (which also sucks).
In first and second year in my school you have a practical class, a non practical and a tutorial. Your non practical class is like english, german, history and your practical class is like art and science and you stay in those classes for your first two years. Naturally you've really bonded with those people after two years and I absolutely loved my classes, they were so funny and literally the worst behaved in our year which was why it was so hilarious. Everyone was friends with each other and we all spoke to each other which is why its really hard to now be moved into new classes with new people and its really sad that some of those people that I only ever spoke to during classes I probably won't speak to again.
I'm definitely the sort of class clown… I like to wind up teachers and get sent out and given punishment exercises but it made everyone like me and I thought that was a good thing. This year I'm going to try really hard to focus and do my very best because my teachers and mum get frustrated with me because I'm "a really smart girl with a lot of potential", (hmm, heard that one before?) but I really do want to follow through with homework and try my best with my studies. That doesn't mean to say I have to be miserable but class time is class time, not for joking around!
I know this is really complicated if your not familiar with the UK school system but I hope it wasn't toooo confusing? Thanks so much for reading, as always, and even though tomorrow is my first day back I will try and keep up with my blog as much as possible (even if its not everyday!)
