Mood: Stressed

I haven't been up to blogging in quite a while as of late; when we started back at sixth form, it was difficult to fit it in when I was trying to sort out a routine, and I am just recovering after spending a week away from civilisation with some dreadful respiratory disease. Haha, could it perhaps have been the dreaded Swine Flu? Either way, I am better now, and very eager to get back into the swing of things.

Sixth Form, which was a blur of new clothes and new stationary and new timetables and teachers and lessons has quickly been established as the norm. The common room, complete with the fabled sofas and available chocolate, seems such a familiar setting that I can't believe it's only been ours for a few weeks. The sheer amount of work that I have, however, still retains its edge. It doesn't look as though the five years I've already done at the school have been able to dull it, and I seriously doubt that I will ever be used to working!

I have decided, after much deliberation, that the medical profession is not for me. The idea of becoming a teacher has rushed to centre stage, and seems to be enjoying the spotlight. I am going to contact my old primary school and see if I would be able to volunteer in the classrooms one afternoon a week. It would be lovely to spend some time there; I can still remember it vividly. I hope that a few of my teachers are still there.

Well, that's all for now, folks. Until next time!
