The Christmas Break was the most necessary and wonderful break EVER. I managed to relax and get work done; had a lie in pretty much every day and ate loads of food and I honestly think that THIS is the key to greatness and maximum productivity. (Food, Relaxation and BEAUTIFUL SLEEP)
So being back at school has thrown me
off balance a bit because I have to wake up early in the morning and the times during
the holiday where I would have been stuffing my face with food, I'm now
learning about Abolitionism, Sonnets and watching Zimbardo talk about
Aggression. (I don't actually know how I survived this week now I look back at
it)
Surprisingly, however, it was a really
lovely first week back. Although the thought of mock exams, which are starting
on the 18th, has been looming- I have tried (key word-tried) to revise. I am
finding it a bit difficult to do the whole 'being in school and also revising’
thing but I'm attempting to keep calm and be more productive .
One thing I learnt this week (and it
wasn't on the curriculum) is that happiness is a choice. Instead of being miserable
because the holiday was over, I was resolute that I was going to start the term
being positive. I was going to be in the moment, actually LISTEN in my lessons
and enjoy my break and lunchtimes and not spend all my time panicking about
school OR wishing I was at home watching Elf.
Following through with this made me
feel so much happier, the week went quickly and relatively smoothly and I could
actually tell you what I learnt this week in quite a bit of detail (yay me!).
So bring on WEEK TWO!!!
I hope you all had a lovely first week
back and I hope that if you didn't (even if you did in fact) that you have a
wonderful rest of the term. Block the negativity, Keep Positive and Eat
Chocolate (and maybe an Apple or something).
Keep Smiling!
