Summertime

The post-exam entry is always a nerve-wracking thing to write because reflecting on myself in an exam isn’t easy, and I worry about being too overconfident, about jinxing myself. They went ok, pretty sure there are no failures in there. As for actual marks? We’ll see.

So that is the end of year three and there are no resits in sight for the first time in 3 years. It is a glorious feeling, knowing that my summer is completely free. It’s even better knowing that I go on holiday soon for two weeks in Tenerife. I can’t remember the last time I was away for two weeks. One week always feels too short, so really looking forward to the longer break – and after this year it feels very needed!

I have a lot of things I want to do this summer; explore, make homemade ice cream, write, online projects – and I’m doing my best to do things in my own time without getting overwhelmed. One thing I do plan to do is blog more often; hopefully once a week and I have a growing list of topics I want to write about. The biggest of course being the new Star Wars films and the debunking of the Expanded Universe – but I won’t get into that now. It deserves and requires its own entry. So while I have lists of things to do this summer, I am trying to spread them out and not stress when I don’t get things done.

I will still be working in the school until about the 20th of June when the year ends and if all goes well will be back in August for the new year. I need to confirm it with the department head, but I really want to continue doing it if I can. I’ve got so much out of it and I love it.
