Alright honestly, 3/5 day
Chemistry goosechases?
I've not attended my chemistry classes in a while, turns out legal or psychiatry appointments tend to fall on Tuesdays and Fridays. In the few weeks I've missed, turns out my professor has left and we've changed lecture halls! I do not speak to anyone in my class so I had no idea about this and nothing was posted online. I was very shocked when I walked into my class and there was a completely different teacher and a bunch of people in the year below me just staring at me. I backed out slowly and panicked for a few minutes in a very comfortable stairwell. Then for once in my life, I took initiative and went to my guidance counsellor. This is virtually unheard of for me because I am terribly anxious and almost never speak to my guidance counsellor unless there's literally no other option. I ended up crying a bit but I eventually got the point across that I had no idea where I was meant to be. So me and this lady make our way to a few other chemistry and biology lecture halls and labs. We ask 7 of them and all 7 of them have no idea where I'm meant to be. Eventually a random computing science teacher stops us and lets us know where I'm meant to be. I don't know how he knew but he was right. I walked in late, met my new professor, and honestly didn't do too badly in chemistry. It was just formulae and compound today so there weren't any practicals (thank gosh).
Modern studies miseries and miracles?
I am awful at remembering figures or other forms of data. Unfortunately in the social inequalities unit and modern studies in general, there's a lot of those. Today I had to sit an assessment that I missed and I felt completely out of place as I had not revised at all. I don't plan on taking modern studies next year so whenever I have five or six tests to be revising for in one week, modern tends to fall to the bottom of my priority list. Besides, when will I ever need to know that in 2023, 5.6% of people in the North-East of England were unemployed or that almost a third of children in impoverished areas of England are obese? I don't even live in England! So after half an hour of wringing my brain for traces of numbers I've overheard in class, I handed in my paper with much misery. I was very distraught and promptly burst into tears when my teacher kindly said: "Don't worry M*****, I'm sure it's a 100% like usual!". I was completely sure it was not 100% as I had reused multiple examples for different paragraphs and at one point I just started phrasing some of my previous paragraphs backwards. So I sit myself down and spend a while blowing my nose and watching a documentary on North Korea. After class, my teacher stops me. By some miracle of a higher power, I had gotten 100%. I'm half-convinced I may have hallucinated the whole thing but I'm not going to look a gift-horse in the mouth.
A waste of two hours?
I despise English as a subject and I am disgusted that I'll have to take it to higher if I want to go into teaching. Unfortunately I had a double period of it. But since it's the final week of school, my teacher is completely out of spoons and can't be bothered teaching so we're watching a movie. Fun, right? I thought so too. We were watching the movie adaptation of A Merchant in Venice, a personal favourite of mine. For once in my life, I was somewhat excited to sit down in that stuffy, over-heated, stinky classroom. And there's actually no 'buts' or 'up untils...' to this story. It was good, except for the teacher pausing it continuously.
Cheap coffee?
I was feeling pretty sleepy after all my classes today so I decided to take a slightly longer trip home to stop by a cafe. This cafe does absolutely shit coffee. But it's the cheapest I can get. A latte for 80p is an offer I'm not passing up even if it's grainy and really watery. Caffeine is caffeine and it's actually almost nice if I use enough free cocoa powder satchets.
Anything else?
I can't think of anything else to add to this post, I'll probably make another post later if anything does cross my mind as it's only 4pm and I've still got stuff to do but I probably won't be bothered to make another post.
have a good day!!
