school life update

Hello. Sorry for no blog posts, I've been busy back at school. As I'm writing it's raining - typical English autumn weather. I do love autumn though, it's my favourite season.

So, now I am back at school I am 'over-whelmed' with school work, as it seems for me. My first lesson of the year was Maths, and my teacher gave us three pieces of homework. What is up with that? Right now I've completed all of my homework and I'm just studying. I don't care if it's only the beginning of the year, I'm still studying cause I want to get good grades. This year I will be starting my 3 year course of GCSEs - I've chosen History, Spanish, Music and Sociology - and apparently because GCSEs are too easy now, it's going to be harder for my year to pass. We have all of our exams at the end of Year 11, and we aren't allowed to retake any exams. Fun stuff. So that is why I am studying. Three years before my test. God, I sound like a real geek.

School is confusing me. Not the subjects, they're fine (for now, at least), I'm just confused what's up with my friends. I have a lovely group of about three other girls now, who I really like hanging out with, but my other group of friends (it sounds weird calling them my 'old' group of friends because they aren't really a group of friends, and I hope/think they are still my friends) don't even seem to notice me any more. I can literally sit at my desk for the whole of lunch listening to music on my iPod, and they don't even glance at me. I don't know where my current friends are (again, it sounds weird calling them that, because I do have other friends) so I just remained at my desk watching them while they stupidly took selfies with each other. Such fun.

I just don't even know what is going on with me any more to be honest...

Anyway, here is some info about school:

• In English we are doing creative writing so that has really spiked up my writing ideas box in my brain, and has given me a few ideas for short stories. If I can write them out properly...
• I went to a choir meeting today. I want to join choir, I regret not auditioning last year. The new music teacher who is taking over from choir seems really cool, so hopefully that will mean that it will be fun.
• I have my first GCSE Music and Sociology lessons tomorrow. My first Sociology lesson ever to be exact. I'm looking forward to that, and I hope I picked right!

That's really all for now (yeah, I know it was long..)

See you next time, Maia :)

things do not change, we change.

I saw a quote from Henry David Thoreau today that said 'things do not change, we change', and it made me think about how much I've changed since last year. 

Last year I was very relaxed and was holding a grudge against one of my 'friends' who now is one of my closest friends again now. It's strange how we can hate someone one second, then love them the next. I was looking forward to going back to school and seeing my friends, but this year, I really can't be bothered to see anyone. I think I've changed a lot emotionally as well. I've had weeks where I've been extremely sad, a sad I had never experienced before. I've also become more self concious. but hopefully that will change.

It's strange how little things can change without you realising, but then when you look back on something as a whole, it's changed dramatically. Like your height - you don't realise yourself growing as most of your friends and people around you will grow with you, but then when you measure yourself you've grown a lot. 

I hope this year at school I wont change for the worst, but just be better than I was this year.

See you next time,

best friends and drifting apart.

So I am back at school on Wednesday, and I'm not too excited about it. I mean yes, school can be fun sometimes, and school can be boring, but most of the time your just stuck for six hours with a bunch of people you don't really like. I'm going into Year 9, and I have no idea how it is going to turn out. I guess I am hoping for the best.

I have to admit, I can be a bit of a confusing person to understand sometimes, so this might be my fault, but sometimes at school I feel a bit lonely. I have friends, it's just I don't have a best friend or someone who knows everything about me. I have had best friends, but this past year at school was meant to be when people find their true friends, and I seem to have lost some. Okay, maybe I am over exaggerating when I say that I have lost friends, it's more like grown apart from them and I didn't and still haven't really known how to feel about it. 

When I first came to secondary school, I had a best friend, but we had a fight and we didn't really talk for about 3 months. Over the summer I had talked to a girl in my form a lot and we became really good friends, and she became my new best friend. The girl I had a fight with, we were okay now, but she had also found a new best friend. I did miss her though we did talk and were actually still good friends. But soon I started growing apart from my current best friend, and she found new friends, and I was left alone. Everyone started finding their friend groups and their best friends and I never really did. I was kind of floating around the groups, talking to everyone in my form. I was friends with most people, but I never really felt like I belonged anywhere.  Everyone has someone to be partners with in class, and I felt like I may have been a second choice to my friends. 

But at the beginning of Year 8, I had met a girl in one of the other forms who I sat next to in Science and French. She was really nice and it turned out we had a lot in common, almost everything. The trouble is I have no idea if I'm going to be in any of her lessons this year. I'm not doing French this year, and I wont be in her Science class, so I have no idea if I will get to talk to her, and I'm worried that we will drift apart because she has other friends too.

I'm not saying that I want someone to myself that is only and always friends with me, I'm just saying that I want someone who will understand me without me having to explain, that likes the same stuff that is my best friend, and just my best friend.

I'm not lonely, I mean I do have friends and I'm friends with everyone, I just want a best friend.

See you next time.
