Frozen planet and the size of the world...

So, Just a short post today. Is anyone else watching the David Attenborough program, Frozen Planet?
It really is amazing and the penguins are just so adorable lol. however, it really does make you realise the size and magnitude of the palnet (maybe that was the point?) and possibly just how insignificant as individuals we are. I am not attempting to turn this post into a depressing one it is simply an observation. For example the tribes who live on the most Northern point of the World have to work in groups of people to survive, whales work together to catch their prey and penguins huddle together to keep themselves and their unhatched children warm. Doesn't this just prove that alone we cannot physically and psychologically live any real life and to achieve all that we want and in sosme ways must we must trust in other people, talk and communicate with other people, listen to the opinions and ideas of other people from different countries, cultures and backgrounds so as to expand our own understanding, beliefs, consideration and thoughts on everyone else in this amazing palnet on which we live. Without this we couldn't possibly expect to be anything but invisible....

Choices, Changes and Considerations...

So, It has been a long time since my last post, sorry about that but no I think it is time for me to say what ons my mind. What's on my mind, then? well, university and what to do after 6th form, don't get me wrong I know that there is still a year and a lot of hard work to go but after listening to certain people it has begun to dawn on me just how big of a change it will be - I will have to get over the extraordinary home sickness feel whenever I am away from my mum, my intense fear of the dark and the fact that I am very scared of not being intelligent enough to be able to do it, not be able to fit in, cope, I am scared that I won't be able to make friends and be brave enough to go 'out on the town'. So many worries and in theory, if all goes well and I get the grades that I sincerely hope that I can achieve, in only a matter of a couple of years I will be off on my own in the big wide world, along with my friends coping and becoming grown up.

So that, along with all the other stress that seems to come hand-in-hand with the taking up of A level subject, is what has been worrying me.

The idea of  'flying the nest' and attending university (if it can be afforded) and growing up is making me feel very, very invisible

Long time no Blog....

As my lovely friend pointed out today at lunch, in tones that I am sure were meant to mock me (you know who you are...) I haven't blogged (is that the correct word, is there even a verb to describe the act of blogging..hmmm?) in quite a while. This is due to a number of reasons, including the fact that we went on holiday to the rather lovely, wet on occasions, picturesque Exmoor. It was lovely however it did have one major downfall - no WIFI or reliable phone signal, hence the lack of blog posts...sorry about that. The other reason is that well A level students don't really have much spare time, inbetween politics essays, history essays and psychology revision there is barely time for sleep let alone anything else. Also, to be perfectly honest nothing really worth blogging has happened.
We went on holiday during half term, that was really lovely, the lodge where we were staying was georgeous with the best collection of books I have ever seen in a holiday cottage/lodge/flat ect. there was even Pride and Prejudice which was really great as I had wanted to read it for ages. I now have my own copy and really like the story, romance and the drama. The nature was amazing we saw a wood pecker, many different types of tits (no sniggering) and the hunt, who actually came through the land we were staying on so that was really exciting. They were only trail hunting so that was OK, Exmoor is a major hunting ground and there were phesants EVERYWHERE!
Before we went away I had SO much homework (mentioned in a previous post) so spent the majority of the two days before we went away trying cram all the homework in, I almost managed it apart from 1 and 1/2 essays so it wasn't to bad although I had to cram loads in when we got back on the Sunday before we went back to school.
So, what else has been happening. Not much really, I have decided that I really don't like school and much prefer lunch, break, free's (studies if any education proffessionals are reading this) and home time to any other part of the day, this could be with the exception of Politics nearly all the time and sociology sometimes but.... I still haven't managed to get on the Pre-teaching course (thanks Miss) which is a bit annoying.
Anyway I think I have written enough for now so I will sign off.
The Invisible teenager out. lol
