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 :)

After the pandemic

Good morning; good afternoon; good evening. As you may have guessed by the title, my aim for this entry is to share with you what I hope to do after the coronavirus subsides enough for things to get back to normal. More or less. Just so I don’t forget, if you have a minute or two to spare, leave a comment about some things you would consider doing yourself. It’d be interesting to see what motivates different people to keep hanging on during this disaster. 1. First of all, I will go visit the local dog shelter. I’ve been there a handful of times, with different friends of mine, so I think that my first visit after the virus should be made alone. You know, for the sake of contrast :) 2. I will definitely meet up with people, especially people I didn’t have the chance to catch up with before the situation started escalating. Of course, I can engage in conversations over text or call, video call, even, however, as you are aware, nothing beats meeting in person. 3. I’ll go to...

The real 'Bluggles'

Hi, everyone)). I hope you're doing well. This is an entry I was looking forward to writing for a few days now, and finally got down to it.  As we all know, every task that requires any form of effort (which is, in fact, EVERY task) has its own set of difficulties that tags along with it, no matter if we like that or not. So, I wanted to address some of the struggles I, as well as probably some of you, have come across while blogging this far. BUT, I feel like anyone can just sit down and share a few of their difficulties, therefore, I decided to also include the solutions that have worked for me in my attempts to overcome them. Right, let's get to the point :). The struggle:  Loss of motivation to write. As you may have noticed, I haven't been updating my blog as much as I did in my first two weeks of maintaining it, and that is due to the excitement and motivation to do so slowly dying down. Personally, this is one of my least favourite 'side-effects' of absol...

The essential situation

Welcome back)). In this entry I want to get through a few different things, so that I have the chance to drop the topic of the coronavirus for the next few posts. The reason for that being because I’m sure that everyone’s starting to get frustrated about the fact that all that’s currently being discussed in detail is the virus. I, for one, most definitely am. Alright then, let’s start our way through). What’s happening here in Pattaya? Yesterday, I experienced all the pleasures of struggling to unclog a sink. Upon discovering that I lack a necessary liquid, I left the house to go to the store for the first time in three days. Honestly, I can’t say that there was a difference worth noting in the occurrences of the outside world. Yes, there is a bit less traffic then usual, but otherwise, everything seemes very much normal. It was when I arrived at my destination, however, that I began taking notice of the little, almost negligible details. There were a few changes in the rul...
