Do you remember the primary school days where the homework would be coloring in a picture to put on the front of your jotter? I wish that still happened. Everyone says that senior year (6th year) is the best year of your life. I have found this to be one of the hardest years school wise, if I’m honest. I mean.. I don’t really understand it because I’m only doing three subjects. That’s the least subjects I have ever done, but it just feels much harder than the rest of my school years. It’s probably because of the pressure of finishing school forever as well I guess. So much happens in 6th year and its SO expensive. Seriously. Take a look at this!

6th year jumper – £15
School dance – £10 (although to be fair I didn’t go so I shouldn’t really be adding it)
After party – £7
Common room – £10
6th year photo – £25
Year book – £15
Social – £30

I mean.. come on. That’s over £100 just for being in your last year of school. its great.

Among all of that, we had prelims in January and yesterday we got our report cards. I’m really weird. I get so excited for report cards. Honestly, I was so excited to go to school yesterday. I just love them because its your school year on a few sheets of paper and its all organised and neat. Plus your prelim grades are in them. I managed to achieve the grades I was aiming for in the prelims!! woooooo! Although, they don’t really matter because we can’t appeal anymore 😦 But its still encouraging to know that I’m not failing. I got:

Higher Art – B
Higher Music – B
Higher English – C

My English teacher thought I was going to fail and so did I to be honest, because I really do find English hard so I’m glad that I passed.

My Art teacher said: (43 out of 60 – this is with out the practical. Art prelims are only theory)
Lisa has worked hard which has resulted in huge progress in the standard of her painting and drawing. She has produced a vibrant unit which shows skill in media handing and strong use of colour. She did reasonably well in the written exam but I feel she could easily improve this mark bu further study of her designers in particular. Her design unit is off to a bold start but she will have to make sure at this level to show some refinement in the work she produces. In the next few weeks she should take advantage of help after school to push her through this final stage of the course.

My English teacher said: (17/30, 11/20 and 12/20)
Lisa has put a lot of effort into improving the standard of her work this term. Despite initially struggling with the demands of the course, she had made a concerted effort to familiarise herself with a challenging novel and add detail to her responses to textual analysis questions. She now needs to work on planning for critical essays, focusing how topic sentences can be used to refer to the task and add coherence to an argument or line of thought. She should take time to proof-read her work ensuring that sentencing and general expression is clear. I would also like to hear a little more from Lisa in class discussion. If she can make an effort to offer her opinions, this will help prepare her for the final internal assessment of talk at the end of February. The deadline for the writing folio is March and it is important that her essays are examples of her best work by this time.

And my Music teacher said:
Instrument 1 Guitar 19/30 – Lisa has been putting a lot of effort into her playing – she lacks confidence and panics when she makes a mistake. try hard to put errors behind you and just keep going!
Instrument 2 Voice 20/30 – Lisa has a nice voice and this is a good grade, but she should aim to improve on this by working on projecting her voice and trying to add more style.
Inventing – You have produced some reasonable ideas. With a little bit more work, making sure you use and identify a range of concepts, your inventions will reach the criteria to pass. 
Listening – 21/40 This is a reasonable mark for this element at this stage of the course. With continued effort both in class and at home, Lisa should be able to improve Before May.

Lisa has consistently worked hard. She should have more confidence in her performing and continued revision of listening and literacy concepts will help secure her grade.

So overall, I am really happy with it! Now… time for exams. THE LAST EVER HIGH SCHOOL EXAMS.

I am beginning to appreciate this whole blogging thing. I know, I am not the best writer in the world but I love to blog. Keeping you all and my friends updated brings me joy. I can now realize whose blog post I am reading without looking at the little self portrait of the blogger. If that’s geeky, I don’t know. I love to read inspirational posts about what God has been doing and also the strange but yet wonderful posts everyone seems to write. I actually don’t have one single clue how I have 61 (to be exact) followers! Most of the time I am just babbling and rambling but yet you still take time to read my not-thought-through blogs.Thank you:) I really must get back to work now. Time is ticking and I still have to do 2 french past papers, music revision, another English past paper and another History (maybe) I don’t know how many I am suppose to do but I am doing a few for each just for good measure. I don’t want to be shouted at. Have a great weekend!!

Exam Time

Biology, blogging, English, exams, history, prelims, revision, school, school life, study

I’ll be honest with you.. I have no clue what to blog today… I haven’t had any brain waves. I  had exams ALL day today! And I’ll tell you, its not fun! I LOVED the writing exam for English because I enjoyed writing the story. I wrote a story about a Surfer. I had a mini panic attack at one point when I thought I only have 5 minutes left and wondering where the time had gone because I had only done 3 paragraphs but then I realized I still had an hour. Wow! What a relief that was 😀
I had 4 exams today. 3 English and 1 Biology. I am not sure how they went. I done a General English which was easy but then the Credit one was quit hard! I done Intermediate 1 Biology. Some of that was easy and some was hard. 
I have a cold so that didn’t help with concentration. 

Tomorrow, I have 2 History ones. General and Credit. That takes us all the way up to lunch and then after lunch I just have to go to normal classes. After I have ate my lunch I have to go to music before the end of lunch because I have to practice something. 

I have pretty much been relaxing from when I got home till now. So I better re-cap on some History before tomorrow. I hope in the History prelim there is something on slavery.. I talked to my brother about what we learned for 10-15 minutes straight and… that is good for me!! In a class talk I can barely talk 2 minutes about a subject. Probably because that is the topic I am interested in. 

Wish me luck for tomorrow,
Lisa

p.s Hopefully tomorrow I will have something more interesting to blog about 😉
