Day 1 - 4th of September
It was the first day of school today so I woke up today and left my house at 10:45 to get to school(we started at 12 today). Was slightly annoyed that the train was taking like ages. I had to wait like 15-20 minutes and I was worried that I was gonna be late. I saw quite a few people who were getting on the train and I had this strange feeling that they were also going to the same school as me and turns out I was right. Luckily the train didn't make me late and I got there a few minutes earlier and met up with friends. We all had to go inside and find out our forms and then go to the right room. We collected our lanyard, id card, timetable and a student survival guide. So then they just went through some important stuff and all the logistics and we did like this activity to get to know each other better. It was those things were you had a box of all sorts of things and see if you could find a person who could fit into them. I don't think anyone could find a vegetarian. Over the course of the very short day, we did 4 workshops with our forms and I think it's safe to say the people in my form are very nice people. The workshops were useful I guess. The first one was on essay writing and it was the first time I had written so much in ages(a whole paragraph wow) and I holy crap it felt weird to write again. The next one was on organisation and luckily there wasn't a lot of writing involved. The one after was on 'academic promiscuity' sounds so weird to say lol but yeah it wasn't that bad. We had to look at places nearby that we would wanna visit and we had to try and find ones we would be interested in and stuff we wouldn't do that often. Last one was on referencing and I would have seriously found that workshop boring if it wasn't for that teacher. The teacher was genuinely a very nice, funny and interesting guy. Hopefully my other teachers are like him, lessons would definitely be more enjoyable.
I would say that the school was genuinely a good choice to come to. It was leagues better than my old school and I think had I stayed I would've regretted it so much. Only bad things were the stairs(I'm a lazy guy) and the prices of stuff nearby but they aren't really dealbreakers or anything. I'm excited and nervous for tomorrow, it being the first day with actual lessons and all.
I guess this is it for today. Need to sleep soon smh gonna have to wake up at 6. Imma update this GYG tomorrow when I get back from school.
