Look who’s discovered titles

It is now around an hour into the evening, and I’ve come back from a not very enjoyable run on the treadmill. I’m not a huge fan of treadmills because I find that if you run long distance, the same setting in front of your eyes becomes monotonous and even, to a certain degree, dreary. But since I’m doing my best to stay indoors and save the world, I made an effort to compensate for the negative aspects of my run with some music.

Now, as I mentioned in my last entry, I will be explaining my current situation with studying, cancelled exams, plans, etc. This May, I was due to take my IGCSE English Literature exam. The reason I was only looking to take one, is because I took the rest a year early, with the exception of Maths, which I took in November 2018. NOW, I am no genius, and honestly, I don’t know what my reasoning behind taking most of the exams early was, but goodness am I glad I have. Especially because I happen to be homeschooled, so if I hadn’t taken them then, I would have had to wait until the next opportunity to take them after the pandemic is over, which no one know when that’ll happen. The loss of Literature was a pity, however. It was the exam I was most looking forward to taking, since, over the years, I have developed quite a strong passion for the subject.

So therefore, after I’d settled down from the shocking but predictable news, my next question was, what do I do now? When I asked a few close friends for advice, they suggested that I get started with something new, which resulted in me thinking: Why not start slowly working on my A-Levels? And I think you’ve guessed it - that’s exactly what I decided to do. At that point, my motivation levels were sky high, so that very same day I picked up my A-Level Psychology textbook, and began to read through, as already mentioned, slowly but surely.

Since I don’t have any of my other textbooks yet, for the time being, I am planning to continue with Psychology. I do have a few ideas of what I can do to have a start on my other two chosen subjects - those being Literature (no surprise there), and Biology - but for the sake of keeping my motivation intact, I will be greedy and keep those to myself).

To end this entry off, I want to toss a huge thank you over to the few people who have been very kind to visit my blog. If you have any suggestions on what I could write about, or how I could improve my blogging/blog, please don’t hesitate to leave them in the comments underneath. Have a wonderful day :)

What is Songkran?

Songkran is the Thai New Year’s National holiday. It is usually celebrated between the 13th - 15th of April. Not only is it a nationwide celebration in Thailand (where I currently live), but it is also celebrated in many other parts of South Asia, like Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Religious rituals, such as paying respect to parents and teachers by pouring water over their hands are performed, alongside others which I unfortunately do not have enough insight into. People, both locals and foreigners alike, dress in colorful floral shirts and roam about the streets either throwing water, targeting each other with water guns, putting watered-down powder onto each other’s faces, or trying their very best to escape from all the craze, which, I must say, is borderline impossible. I have participated in the celebrations for many years now, and I think that it’s great fun, especially if you have a friend or two by your side. Last year, a friend of mine and I came b...

Happy Songkran!

Hello, welcome back)). Let's breifly summarise the weekend, shall we? :) On Saturday morning I wokeup with very sore legs, which was the expected result of a 1,000 suqat challenge I impulsively decided to do on Friday evening. Yes, you read that right, 1,000 squats, which absolutely destroyed me. Needless to say, I have been forced to make quite the effort to wobble around for the past three days. I baked some nice cookies on Saturday, which got a very good laugh from one specific person who claimed they looked like horse droppings. See for yourself, and let me know if you agree with the opinion: Sunday was they day I attempted (key word here) to make homemade ice-cream. It ended up having a consistency of frozen chocolate mousse, so I wouldn't say it was a complete (another key word) fail. Here's a quick snap I took: Sunday was also the day I was given some lovely chocolates. I've been intermittently eyeing the pack for the entire day today and re...

Read of the week (#1)

Welcome to the first part of this segment I decided to create)). I decided that every week I will recommend you a short story which I found interesting, since I tend to read a lot of those. This week's 'Story of the week', if you wish, is 'When It Happens ' by Margaret Atwood. The story is written in a third-person narrative, and follows a fifty-one-year-old lady called Mrs. Burridge. Mrs. Burridge has a very fatalistic outlook on life and imagines, in astonishing detail, situations that she thinks are bound to happen sooner or later. She is a practical and realistic character, and thinks through every imaginable aspect of her future predications. One of these apocalyptic-like situations is described in the story. I won't go into any more detail to in order avoid spoiling the best bits, but I have to mention that there is a nice little plot twist at the end of the story :) So guys, if you have time, give this one of the many Atwood's masterpi...
