I'm sorry..

Hey there.

Okay, so I've been really super bad at posting on here recently, and that's the reason for the title.  I know I never said I was going to post according to a timetable, or upload things on a specific day every week or so, however, I still feel bad.  Maybe it's because my last two posts were so close together...

  In all honesty though, I've been so swamped with school work.  We have roughly 2 weeks left (not including our Easter holiday) before we go off on exam leave and leave high school forever. It's pretty scary, if I'm honest.  I'm really not looking forward to our last ever day, I'm sure it's going to really sad, and I won't cope well.  Anyway, my classes have been piling on the work load since we have to get all the courses finished in the allotted time, which means very little free time for me.  As well as classes, we have sixth-year-type things to organise like yearbook, the Leavers dance (which I'm on the committee for), leavers hoodies, final assemblies, plans for next year etc.  Although even writing it down, it doesn't seem much, I'm the worst for procrastinating so of course, I've left it all to the last minute...  Not sensible.

I'm going to write out my classes, and the things I have to complete before the start of exam leave/Easter holidays:

Higher Graphic Communication:  I need to complete a 12 paged (A3 size paper) thematic unit on a household item (I chose a plug..).  This consists of 5/6 hand-drawn pages, including rendered graphics, and 6/7 computer-based sheets using AutoCAD Inventor and Publisher.
Higher Philosophy:  Let me start by saying that I love this subject but at the same time it just destroys your brain.  We have 2 units still to finish completely, which will include essays and past paper questions, no doubt

Advanced Higher Art:  Thankfully for art we have until the beginning of June to send off our portfolios and dissertations but this means our class will have to continue coming into school to finish it whilst everyone else is off.  I need to start and finish my 2000 word dissertation, complete my outfit which I've not done a great deal of AND have enough work to fill 10 to 18 A1 sheets.  I plan on making a post on my AH art stuff once it's completed, as I'm hoping it will turn out well!

 Luckily, I only do 3 subjects this year, but Advanced Higher art is double the work load of a normal class, which also means it is double the stress.


That's all for this post!  Not very exciting, I know, but I will try to do some better posts as my school stress and work load start to die down.  Until then, you'll have to deal with very small and irregular posts on here.  I will TRY and do a Feb/March favourites at some point next week/weekend, but I'm not making any promises!

Have a good week.
