Falling from Cloud 9 - Me, and my ever-loosening grip on grade 9s :)

I honestly can not have cold showers. My showers are probably too hot

don’t feel pressured to post everyday! ahh I love walks especially by myself but I haaaaatee cold showers my boiler is currently broken so guess imma be stinky all weekend ahaha

I prefer my showers lukewarm. But I'd rather a cold shower over a hot one

Also, how did you link the previous post?

I had a friend in Turkey who would shower four minutes, and she was pretty precise as well. The first forty seconds were quite cold and the next forty seconds were quite warm. She was quite a fit, sporty person, and this got her through the day (according to her).

sammee here, if it's not burning me it's not a shower

Defo not a fan of cold showers, it would have to be lukewarm for me. 😂

ahaha, I understand, I used to be like that. But doesn't it burnnnnn? I had another cold shower this morning - although I was probably in too long because I had semi-brain freeze after

Not to be exact or anything

I guess whatever works for her

I prefer the burn over the freeze

I actually stayed with a group of friends there every summer, and I sometimes waited for her to come out of the shower on a few mornings if I felt that it was finally ‘my time’ to go there. I noticed that hse was pretty quick. We actually had a discussion regarding water for showers, and she mentioned that time. I actually remember timing it myself (she'll never know lmao), and I was surprised.

I also just realised how awful I got my timings there. Somehow half of 240 seconds (i.e. four minutes) is now equal to 40 seconds instead of 120. Yeah okay, I'll take that.

sameeeee - can't stand cold showers!

It's the weekend! Finallyyy. (I didn't need it as much as the past few weeks because I'm starting to get over the tired back-to-school feeling... only just, but it still feels deserved!) I had a lazy morning and lay in my bed for about 45 minutes, which I never do... I then had my routine cold shower (I love cold showers, they make me feel ready for the day and also productive) except today it was lukewarm... treat yourself

Before I made the to-do list on Update 009 I watched some more Cable Girls on Netflix o Las Chicas del Cable si lo quieres en español which is my continuation of Spanish TV after Elite. It's really good, and a period drama so yanno

I then preceded to make the to-do list which tbh I haven't half done. But I have done all the school-related stuff apart from any of the french (which I still may do later) and so it's not too bad. This morning I did Chemistry, Biology, and English and I have just done Maths.

After Lunch, I went on a LoNg walk with family friends but it was nice to do and relax (even if my legs are semi-tired now) and then I came back and did my maths homework. I will try and get the rest on my list done tomorrow but in all honesty, most of it isn't time-sensitive and could've easily been done tomorrow. I was just being ambitious.

QotD: Thoughts on Cold Showers?
AotD: Ik they're not for everyone but when you're in I really like them

My weekend posts will always be a bit shorter since I don't have 5 subjects to talk about

Wowww that is so funny, what an idiosyncratic habit (just practising my vocabulary over here )

It was an idiosyncratic habit alright, but I believe it has some benefits.

Also, practising vocabulary? Not bad, but, since you've mentioned it, I think I should tell you that vocabulary is only half the battle in the writing section of the English language exams. Maybe even 40%. I say this as someone that got 40/40 in both writing sections lol.

Hey there! I loved reading through your GYG (I started around 20 mins ago and I've just been going through it haha). As a fellow grade 10 (year 11) student, I can relate to this all too well. If it's possible, please tag me next time you post!

About the shower conversation: the shower I take depends a lot on my mood and what I've been doing. If I'm feeling tired or I'm unable to focus, I always take a warm shower, but if I've just played sports or been out in the sun, then cold shower for sure.

Ahaha Well doneee! Personally I find my Writing is stronger than the other half of the language papers but it could still do with some improvement I think I got about 35/40 on that in my mock which I was very pleased with. My grammar is all over the place though, I just always have an urge to put commas everywhere and probably over-do it on the : and the ;

It was for me, although it made little difference in the end. I only dropped five marks lmao.

Also, just a reminder, but an overuse of commas isn't a solecism, and it can be quite effective.

I eat quite a lot of spice, I can deal with it. My parents use a lot. Although I don't really see the point of the unnecessary discomfort most of the time. Too much can ruin food.

Might need you to start tutoring by the sounds of things.

*define solecism: a grammatical mistake in speech or writing.*

Oh ok I get youuu and I might flag that up with my teacher if I'm criticised
