Exams – Urgh

24 exams – 24, really !!! . Urgh.

Well, I’ve reached the halfway point and actually it’s not been too bad so far. Even maths has been manageable (a small miracle given how I feel about algebra and trigonometry 🙂 )

The only real bump in the road has been one of my possible future colleges stuffing up the courses that they run.

I received an email about a month ago letting me know that “because of a scheduling conflict” I can no longer do both English and Drama at the college. I mean – who needs English to do Drama …

They did arrange a call though for yesterday to go through my options – which had shrunk even further. “Unfortunately we can’t offer you Drama now as there are not enough pupils wanting to do the course“.

Who’d have thought by scheduling English and Drama at the same time, the movement of pupils from Drama to English would collapse the Drama course.

Oh wait …

Bit of shame really as they were one of my preferred choices. Luckily my number one choice does have enough people to do both courses and has some really amazing teachers, so maybe the universe is giving me a small nudge 🙂

Right – best head back to the books – a little light revision before a bit of walking the dog on this really beautiful spring day,

My First Cooking Barbeque

Wow, what a day. To put it into context Granny, Grandad and Grandma came round to my house with social distancing rules still in place, but it definitely worked.

Granny and Grandad came first, me, Granny and Grandad had a nice long chat. Then Grandma came. All of us had a massive chat, we all went to the table and ate some snacks. (Mummy had quite alot of crisps).

Then I had the big job of lighting the BBQ (Yay). There was quite a lot of flames and smoke . It took quite a lot of time to get the fire to the right temperature for cooking.

My job today was to cook the sausages. This was the most exciting time of my BBQing career (the first of many). The tongs were a little to big for my liking but that was ok. The sausages were going a little bit golden brown which is a very good sign. It took about 5-6 minutes to cook the sausages but, it was worth it.The sausages were very delish.

Coronovirus 2020

Coronovirus 2020

Coronavirus was one of the most stressful things I had to go through. I was at still at school when that happened, but not for very much longer. The first week of homeschooling was really weird. Getting used to the emails and responses, and how much time I didn’t have.

Then it was the Easter break !🙋‍♂️. It then came back but in a new form, that form was Showbie. A much better site for setting out work and producing work. There were some positives, I was ALOT more concentrated than ever.

As my wise head of school said you come in one side and you always have to come out the other side. He was right, I was back at school for two weeks then at last I could breathe a sigh of relief. Summer holidays were here and I, Toby Holdsworth am enjoying every moment of it!!
