Almost done....

8am- Good morning everyone! It's nearly all over. After I finished Economics on Wednesday I felt as though I had finished my IB. I still have French on Tuesday, and I will work for it, but my main exams are over! It was a wonderful feeling going to bed on Wednesday night, knowing the next couple of days would be quite relaxed. Some people have actually finished all of their exams and its amazing seeing their joy. I've managed to relax more since Wednesday and even made it to LLantwit yesterday. Most of my friends finish this morning with Biology and we are celebrating afterwards. I got up early to have breakfast with them and now I can work on French. I did some yesterday and so I am still working (just not anything like as much as before!). On reflection I feel as though most of my exams went OK. I'm trying not to go over them because there really is nothing anyone can do now until results day. 6th July will be a big day... I'm going to go back to PK now. We have the 2nd Year Show tomorrow night which will be lots of fun. The 1st Years put on a show for the 2nd Years in each house and it was really good last year. There will be lots of partying tonight so I should really get down to my work for a while. Love to all from a beautifully sunny AC.

Time flies

9.45am- Good morning everyone! This past week has been so hectic I didn't realise I haven't written on here for so long. I started my IB last Wedesday with English paper 1. I think it went quite well. I had Maths Papers 1 and 2 and Thursday and Friday. They weren't great, just OK I think. I was so happy to finish Maths, the relief afterwards simply fantastic. I almost threw my text book back at the teacher when we had to hand them in afterwards! I have a couple of days off from exams now, but then it gets very busy. I have English Paper 2 on Wednesday, then E Systems Paper 1 on Thursday. On Friday I have E Systems Paper 2 and History Papers 1 and 2. That is going to be tough!! History is my favourite subject(and most important post-AC)and it's annoying to have E Systems before it in the morning. Luckily for me however, that is the only time I have two subjects in one day. Some people have absolute horrors- World Religion and Maths, Spanish and Biology... My Japanese dormie and I went to visit our Danish dormie on Saturday in Llantwit. She is staying in a cottage with her Mum and it is absolutely perfect for her. She is doing much better- she's happier and more relaxed and it was lovely for the three of us to spend time together. I'm working a lot and find I forget to relax sometimes. It has reached the stage where if you stop working, there is nobody around as they are all working. The First Years have codes again but they seem so free in the afternoons and evenings. I remember this time last year- it was probably my best time at AC. I'm determined to enjoy the lat 2 weeks and not dwell too much on the fact that we're leaving before we've even left! It's taken we 45 minutes to finish this post as my Botswanan friend and I were procrastinatin reading the news and looking at Vogue.com! Must go. Am going to revise some Econ before my lunch date with a friend. We don't arrange to meet each other in houses anymore but in the carrel unti! Love to all.
