End of the School year

The last couple of weeks before summer holidays are the worst. The stress of deadlines , final projects, desperately trying to get your grade up not to mention the dreaded final exams. You have to really focus on work and basically end up having no life. We are expected to study everything we have done for the past six months whilst also doing all the end of unit projects which will finalize our grades before the final exams; but so close to the holidays all I can do is daydream about what I’m going to be doing for those glorious eight weeks of freedom. I try to focus on work in class but after a couple of minutes I stare in to the distance and start thinking of all the fun things I want to do over the holidays. I really do try to study hard but I get distracted so easily and every little thing makes me thing of ending the year. I’ll be in class watching a video and I’ll say to myself: “focus, focus, focus, you need to know this for finals” and then a fly will fly past me and I’ll start to think about how cool it would be to fly and then how scary it would be, because I’m scared of heights then I’ll start to think of the times I’ve been the most scared, one of these being when I went caving during the January holidays. This will then lead me to start thinking about how nice it was to see my friends in Mexico on that holiday and how I will see them really soon. Then I’ll start to make plans for what we will do when I see them, these involve renting a bunch of movies, buying pizza, ice cream and brownies and eating. Suddenly a loud noise will be made and I’ll remember I was supposed to be watching the video because I'll need to know this stuff for the final exam but by this time I've missed a load of the video, so now I really try and concentrate. Then I'll see an ant randomly wondering around on my table and I'll start to think about how it got there and what a cool journey it must be... and I'm off again. So now I'm even more stressed because I have no idea what was on the video and I know I need to learn it for finals. So yea, this is a bit of a random blog about the stress of the end of the year and also how weird my mind is and how quickly I get distracted, I hope it didn't bore you,

Pro's and Con's of Blogging

I started this blog for English class, it's graded and we have to do a certain number of posts per month, or quarter. Sounds like a pretty cool class assignment right? Well, it's not always that cool. I do like blogging... Well... I prefer it to any other project we could have, but sometimes it kind of gets on my nerves. It's not as easy as it seems, sometimes I have no ideas what so ever. My mind is completely blank and I HAVE to write… but I can't, this means I waist hours just staring at a screen waiting for an idea to pop in to my head. This is definitely one of the negative sides of blogging, having to think of things to write about that could potentially be interesting on demand when I can't.
Blogging isn't all bad though, it can be a really good way to share your ideas with the world even if you know not many people will read it. When you feel like nothing could cheer you up, and you know you have to write a blog it actually makes you feel better, it's kind of like a way to release stress/ creative ideas and just your feelings and emotions in general. I really like having to do a blog, I know that it weren’t for the class I would probably stop doing it after two or three entries, so it's nice to be pushed to do it. In the long run I think it's nice to look back and see what you wrote about when you were younger and it does, even though I don't like to admit it, help develop our writing. So, in conclusion I like blogging. Yes, sometimes it can be a pain, but in my opinion it's the best class assignment we could have.
