Top 5

Hello dear readers,

It's almost time to go to school but I'm not feeling like it at all. The only subject I'm looking forward to is Ethics. I could spend my life in this seventh period every Tuesday and Thursday just sitting on the first desk with my eyes open with interest. I love Ethics! Just as much as I loved Psychology and just as much as I will love Philosophy in 11th grade. Yay! Feeling inspired. 

Anyways there are a lot more things I love about school, though. Time for a Top 5 Like List!

Top 5 What I like about school:

5.Breaks! Those sweet 10 minutes I can take a breath before my next torture begins. Or those busy 10 minutes I can use to review the material I would need to know for the next period. Both cases - very useful 10 minutes!

4.Handwriting Practise. LOL. No, truly. I love the dictations and the study plans we write. I can proudly boast that I have a beautiful handwriting. 

3.Interesting Subjects. The subjects like Ethics, History, Geography, Literature etc. that make me actually LISTEN and PAY ATTENTION because it's interesting. The way that teachers deliver us the material is also important, though.

2.Opportunity for creativity. YES! This is what I can say I LOVE about school. The projects! We had an amazing project to do last December. 'Create your own country' One of the many reasons I love this specific English teacher. 

1.Secure Future. The most important of all, the secure future that school provides us. What would we be without school? We wouldn't have met all those amazing friends. We wouldn't have learnt all those important things (+those we will never need :D). We wouldn't know what we want to become in the future if there wasn't school. 

However, I'm far from the thought we only love things about school so it wouldn't be fair if there isn't a Top 5 Dislike List. Agree?

Top 5 What I dislike about school:

5.Muggy Classrooms. There is no way I can study without the possibility to breathe. I hate muggy classrooms! 

4.Mathematics. I have NEVER been good at this subject! I force myself to get good grades. (It's the aim, you know?)

3.Boring Subjects. Haha! I bet everyone has had fallen asleep in a class at least once! It often happens to me.

2.Unreasonable Evaluation. Teachers often try to find a way to give the students the opportunity to get easy grades. Well, sometimes they make it even harder for us and often the evaluation happens to be unreasonable. 

1.Unfair Teachers. Everyone has a protege. Teachers, though, should not have proteges! IT'S NOT FAIR! :( 

We can't live without school, though. Not in this epoch, though. :D Time to go to school. Have an amazing (and progressive, of course) day!

Inspiration For Motivation

Good evening/morning/afternoon, people from around the world! Probably some of you just took the daily dose caffeine and are ready to start a progressive Sunday or are planning to stay in bed and watch television during the rest of the day. Personally, I am at the end of a Sunday of hard-working. Ever since school started after the Christmas break I haven't slept much and I assume most of my classmates haven't either. The thing is, we're too tired and too bored to be creative. TOO MUCH SCHOOL! + It's almost the end of the term and we're occupied with additional studying in order to get the better grade and maybe fight for a scholarship. So among those obsessive academical monsters the fairies in our heads are deeply asleep. Too bad. Who has motivation to study without inspiration?
This week was a torture for me. Basically, summed up I had not any more than 15 hours of sleeping Monday to Saturday. That was the reason I overslept today and still, when I woke up at 2pm my mother immediately came up with something I could help her with. Even though all of this is so boring and tiring I found a way to live through it! As I may have given you a hint, it's all about inspiration!
Are you feeling inspired to GO FOR IT and STUDY ALL THE SUBJECTS? Guessed so! Well, it's your lucky day becase I am going to share my secret! I may sound like a cheap advertisment but my sources are reliable. :D
My secret: I try to find inspiration in everything and if I try hard enough, usually I manage to.
Start with taking something you dislike and turning it into something you find interesting or if this doesn't work try to figure out this one: "It doesn't matter what it takes to reach the aim, it's important to actually reach it."
I made it quite long as for a first post but with sincere intentions. Have a great day/night and live long and prosper!
