Back to School

Yes I know, it is a bit late, but I thought that I would have a rant about school anyway. About a month ago, everyone went back to school and frankly, it sucked. My school, however, decided to make it suck even more! A week after we got back, I had to do "some of the most important exams of your life" as some of my teachers put it, really? Talk about putting pressure on your students! But I pulled through those few days, some people got a lot more stressed out than I did, which is strange seeing I am usually the first person to say "What if I fail all my exams!?". Our "revision" sessions didn't help much either, but I can take that on myself. But anyway, those are done so it doesn't matter too much. We ARE getting the results back in a week's time so I am a bit nervous for that.

After coming back to school, I had to adjust a lot. I was so used to wearing my own clothing and making myself look nice, but now I'm back to itchy shirts and very unflattering grey skirts! Well, that is uniform for you!

Walks have been one of my favourite things to do this month. We take our puppy Pippin (cockpoo, 7 months) for long walks on the common most Sundays and I never really realised how pretty it is. Just chuck some slow guitar music in the background and it would be perfect. Plus, because it is nearly Spring, all of the birds are coming out to sing their cute little songs!

Other than that, climbing has been fun. Scrambling up walls has always been a forte of mine but it does leave you dripping with sweat and smelling like a pig... but "c'est la vie"!

It's been great talking to you,

catch you later!
