Life Update: College - A-Levels

"Show me something i can be, play a song that i can sing. Make me feel as i am free, someone come speak for me. Well they're celebrating broken things, i don't want a world of broken things. You can tell something isn't right, when all your heroes are in black and white"  Speak For Me - John Mayer
JOHN MAYER!!! AAAAAH I can't get enough of him, his voice is so like real. That's the only word i can use to describe it, and this song is so like sweet.

Hello Friends!!! How are you? I apologise for being so absent when it comes to putting posts up. (Here come the excuses) I have actually started college, and begun to do my A-Levels which is going.....Yeah
I hope you had a good summer, and the back to school process went swiftly because i know how hard it can be getting back into the routine.

Errrm, so i thought i would just update you on where I'm at with life and how things are going with college and stuff.

SO!!! I have started the college near my house (Lucky Me) i started last week Monday and I'm doing A-Levels. Truth be told, on the first day i didn't think i would like it at all because it's just so so different to school. Like i have just left school where there are all these rules to be followed and now I'm in college where freedom is thrown at me right at the door.

First Day

Okay, so i won't lie i was actually late to my first lesson and the thing is, there is no like registration or form rooms or anything like that so it's not like i was going to get reprimanded for being late or something.
So I'm running late for my English class and I'm freaking out only to find i had no clue where my class was. I walked around the building for about 10 Minutes looking for the room i had my lesson in, and i honestly couldn't find it.When i asked someone they just told me to look at the board where all the rooms where listed for our lessons, which i had done about five times before.
I was getting so so frustrated, so i just went home.
You read that right!!
I missed my first lesson at college. I honestly wouldn't recommend this to anyone, i should've kept on pestering people to get them to show me but i didn't. I missed so much that first lesson and i honestly regret it, we got set homework which luckily i could do because i had a friend in the class and i used her notes but if i hadn't  been lucky. Well i would've been screwed really.

The College (Mostly the people)

I don't really know what i was thinking really when i started college and how the people would be. I think the people just don't really care really, especially the second years. They've already got their friends and know what their doing but with the first years (My year) it was a little awkward. It is definitely a lot harder to make solid friendships because we don't really stay for breaks and lunch etc, which means i don't really need to worry about who i need to sit with or something, For me though, i think it's okay because there are people in my classes who i can talk to and have a laugh with which is okay. I'm also lucky because i know people from my previous school who also go to college and are in my lessons so, I'm never really lonely.

Lessons

Soo, what does Naomie do at this college of hers?
I do: English Language and Literature, Psychology and Media Studies. So far, i think it is going okay, the work load is just ridiculous compared to high school but i think i will get used to it eventually. I have quite a lot of free time which means i have no excuse not to do the work. Second week in and I've already had a Psychology exam, that was scary. 
I've got no idea if these were the right things for me to take or if i should change them but you know, i think I'm just gonna stick with it. I've come to the conclusion that my decisions suck and I'm just going to have to live with them. haha.


Overall

Overall i think i am starting to enjoy going to college a lot more now. I think for me i need to focus, because I'm so lazy. I need to remind myself that i cannot fail, this year and just get my head down and do work!! 
The subjects i do are very essay based which sucks for me, but i need to organise my time well which i must say is going very well (I might do a post on that). 

I hope things are going well for the start of the year wherever you are, if they aren't going as well as you hoped don't worry about it I'm sure it will get a lot better once you've settled in. I wish you the best of luck, with the rest of the year. 

I saw a really nice quote earlier that has nothing to do with this but really makes you think.
"Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children" - Unknown
I really LOVE this quote, definitely one to live by.

I think that's gonna be all from me today, i apologise for not posting for a while however, i think i will be posting less because of you know the whole college thing. 
Have an amazing week, and do exciting stuff.
