Christmas

Came Today

in the post
from my dad.
And old tradition my grandmother
used to keep when I was
smaller. 

The End

Is Getting Nearer...

...Once again. 

You know the end of term is coming when it feels as though Friday comes right after Monday, yet you’re ten times more exhausted when the weekend comes than back when the weeks actually felt a week long.

And of course, our assessments are all gather in the same week. Since the last two weeks of this term are our priority weeks, that means next week is assessment week. There is one assessment on every day of next week, and on some of the days there are two assessments. Assessments are our exams, the marks we get on our assessments are what we have to show for our education at the end of these three years. So yeah, fair enough, our “exams” might not last a full day, but they might as well have; they are equally exhausting.

However, the most frustrating part is that they are technically actually fun (or could be, if you didn’t know so much depended on them), and you really want to do your best because of that. But since there is so many different things, it feels as though there’s simple not enough of you to give 100% on all of it.

The Heating Stopped Working.

Again. 

Both hot water and general heating. Gone. The house is flippin’ freezing - I don’t think the people who built this house had the faintest clue what isolation is.
