I'm really struggling with history. My class is full of very very hard workers, and my teacher is piling on the work like there's no tomorrow, and it feels a bit like I'm drowning. I love history, but am debating dropping it- likely for Government and Politics. Thoughts?

I'm starting a book club? Mad.

My music theory has taken a back seat, which is just a tad stressful since my exam is the 6th Nov. I have a "don't die, kids!" course about driving from the school on that day, which is a trip, so I look forward to trying to blag my way out.

Grade 7 Practical is going well!

I have decided I definitely want to study English in some capacity. I have a huge doubt in my mind about if it's useful or worth it. I could, however, see myself in academia in one form or another.

I laughed till I cried today in Spanish, and my English teacher gave our class a group therapy session, both of which were much needed.
•
This has been the first time I've really struggled with Spanish, but I'm definitely keeping with it. I love language, and I love Spanish. It's been hard but I'm really enjoying it.

We're finally starting our set texts for English! We had some lessons on linguistics though, and that was super interesting, and as such a) I will really miss them and b) I really, really, really love linguistics.
•
I got onto EPQ!! 10 or so people did, but the question now is what to do it on. Definitely literature, maybe the presentation of power, or to what extent literature is a reflection of history, or something, but I Just Don't Know.

My physics remark went up!! If you had told me 6 months ago that I'd end up with an 8 in physics, I'd have said you were lying.
•
I now have half hour sessions once a fortnight with a language assistant to improve Spanish speaking, and the other week I spend an hour helping year 11 with speaking, which actually isn't as terrible as it sounds.

So, I went to the Oxford trip, in the end. It was amazing- I even met the English tutor at St. Anne's, and she was so lovely! I was the only one at my table, so I, in effect, had a one-on-one with her, which was quite intense and uncomfortable, but honestly she was one of the loveliest people I've met in a good while.

We're getting our first assessments. Pressure!

Our Spanish class has a new guy now! It was just four girls, and we were getting close, but now it's a bit awkward. Still, though, it's a far more interesting dynamic now.
