I've been kind of a bad blogger recently, but I promise you, I have lots of excuses!First of all, I had my Easter Holiday most of April, where I had so many people to see and things to do - my brothers from Denmark even came and visited me for 4 days, and even though I ate way too much every single meal and almost died on the way up Arthur's Seat, it was definitely some of the funniest days in a long time!
I'll make one or two posts (depending on the amount of pictures) about it when I have time and finally get the pitures one of my brother's took - but until then you have this picture, taken at the very first day, as some sort of sneakpeak! So stay tuned!
Right after the Easter Holidays, I went back to school for my very last school days ever in a Scottish High School!It was supposed to be 4 days back in school, where the last one was supposed to be a 'muck up day', where you as 6th years collectively skip classes and just run around and do pranks the entire day. The teachers at my school, however, had heard or read people discussing their plans for muck up day, and called the entire year to an assembly in the middle of class and told as all, that we were according to them all prepared for exams, and for the first time in the school's history, the teachers told all the students the day before muck up day, to leave in the middle of class, go home and not come in the next day. That meant that that thursday, the day that should have been our second last day, was now our very last day. It was all very anti climax, as you, though not really having any special plans for the day, actually had looked forward to the last day of school, where you got to say goodbye to everyone and so on.
Some people, however, decided to go into school on our cancelled muck up day and do pranks anyway, but even though the meanest pranks I ended up seeing was lipstick on the mirrors and a banner above the front door, the school ended up calling the police, apparently, and told everyone to leave.Luckily we all still have the leavers day and prom left to see everyone and say proper goodbyes!
But instead of ranting about the failed last day of school, I wanted to say that I will start to be a bit of a better blogger the upcoming days, since I am on study leave at the moment.
During the year I my subjects have changed quite a few times, but I ended up having only 3 subjects: Advanced Higher English, Higher Art/Design and Higher History, and out of them I'm doing the exam in English and History.
In English I have already given in my creative portifolio, which counts as 30% of my overall grade, and the exam (which is the 1st of May), where I will be writing an essay abouy either the 16 poems by Sylvia Plath or the 2 plays by Tennessee Williams, will also be 30%. The last 40% would have been my dissertation, but because I didn't do one, I will only get "unit passes" in the end - if I do pass!
In History I have written, rewritten, given in and then written in hand in 2 hours my Extended Essay, which again is 30% of my final grade. The exam (which is the 7th of May) will then be the last 70% and will be parted in two different essays and 5 source questions.
Luckily I'm allowed to write both of my exams on computer, which was a huge burden lifted off of my chest, as I write twice as fast and much better on a computer - wooo!
This post was a whole lot of random things, but I just wanted to tell you why I haven't been blogging this much in this month - I hope you understood it all!
