A fresh start...

So I've realized I should probably start blogging more because I'm only posting like once every 2 weeks. Mainly because I'm mostly sleeping and when I'm not sleeping I'm doing everything I should of been doing when I was sleeping, for example, tidying my room, doing coursework, spending time with my boyfriend and doing some house work around the house, and since I've started 6th form I've not done hardly any of those.

I've had a nasty cold for the past week and a half and it has taken it out of me. I'm struggling to sleep, always going from hot to cold and I've very rarely had energy to do the simplest of tasks like going to the bathroom. It has been awful and finally it's on it's way out which is very good as I simply can not go on with this any longer.

I started 6th form at Commonweal last Thursday and so far I'm really enjoying it. I'm studying Psychology and Sociology for 2 years there and hopefully some Teaching Assistant volunteering in between. I think that's what I want to do now so hopefully I can get somewhere with that. I've managed 5 whole days since being back which is such an achievement for me because before I was making 2-3 days a week which weren't all day. I'm so happy with how things are going with 6th form however it is draining me and every single day so far without fail I've fallen asleep and done no coursework. Whoops. Sixth form is a completely fresh start for most people and I also see it as a fresh start with myself too. I can start fresh with my attendance and my subjects and I have more motivation to do well because I passed my GCSE's which amazed pretty much everyone I know of I think. I came out with a B in English Language, a C in English Literature, C in Maths and a C in IT. I'm so proud of myself and I can't thank everyone enough for all their support and help. Especially my English teacher who also appointed herself to being my life coach. I've realised this blog is all over the place but oh well, I'm sure it'll be ok this once.

Sixth form is really weird and it's really different to school, most of us don't even know if we have to put our hand up in lesson or not? Or whether to call teachers by their first name or second name? And also the fact we can sit and eat and take hot drinks into class is still rather weird and I can't quite get used to it yet but it's still early days. There's a variety of people at sixth, and I never would've thought the people I hang around with would be the people I hang around with. I was definitely too quick to judge who I'd hang around with and become friends with but I absolutely love it. The whole year get on really well, even with new arrivals, everyone just enjoys each others company and gets along. There are definitely some people that I didn't think that would come to sixth form but have done and it's actually really nice to have such a wide variety of people and personalities. It's only the 2nd week in so I'm sure I'll come to moan about one thing or another soon.

My blogs definitely will not be as often as they were before but I will try my hardest to blog at least once or twice every 2-3 weeks, at least until everything is settled and balanced out and I stop being so tired.

Thank you for reading and I will definitely blog soon☺.
