Back to school for me...

( If you are looking for a survival guide for your new school term, you can see my advice post; "Things to think about in the new school year"

I hope it helps! :3 )

Hey guys :) 
Today is the last day of the holidays (BOOOO!), so I thought I would write a blog post while I still have the time. 

It's not school in particular that I am loathing right now, it is just the small things, such as getting up at 7am and all that torture. I got up at 8:30 this morning as a kind of practise for this kind of thing, and I have been yawning all day. I definitely think that if school started at a later time then I would be more productive throughout the day.
Teenagers are always told "If you're really this tired, you should go to bed earlier!", but I really don't think it's as simple as that. Also, I personally find it very hard to sleep, and have done for all my life. I am such a light sleeper - the smallest of noises can wake me up in the night! The other night I involuntarily stayed up till around 2am because I thought I heard noises downstairs. It's not that I get scared of noises or anything, they just keep me really alert :(

Other things I will miss are listening to music all day and not being in a constant rush to go places - the holidays seem to have lulled me into this false sense of security with no responsibilities or deadlines. I am also not a subtle enough person to listen to music during class, I can barely chew gum in class without looking absolutely startlingly ridiculous! My friends always laugh at me if they give me gum and I try/fail to chew it without anyone noticing. It's a good thing that I've always been a goody-two-shoes, because I'd be terrible at trying to get away with disobeying the teachers... 

Despite these things, I do think that it is also good that I am finally going back to school. This is partly because if I didn't, I doubt I would socialise much. I always have a number of friends who I will try to meet up with during the holidays, but there are also quite a few friends who I haven't seen since last year, and I really want to see them!
The new school term will also give me the chance to test out my new ADVENTURE TIME BACKPACK!!! :D

I got it for Christmas, and I am extremely happy with it! :)

It is also reversible, so if you get tired of Jake's face, then you can switch it round to see Finn instead :3

My last bag was falling apart, and I was in serious need of a replacement. The destruction of my last school bag was quite upsetting, as it was my pride and joy when I got it around this time last year. It was a David&Goliath bag, with a Hipsterpotomas on it (click here to see it on Amazon - I really can't describe it clearly enough!). Of course, it now looks nothing like it did in January 2014 after a year of being battered about and scratched in the school corridors. I am hoping my new bag does not have a similar fate!

For those of you who are in school, what is your favourite and least favourite part of going back to school? 

My favourite part of going back is seeing my friends, and my least favourite part would definitely be getting up in the morning. Once I am in school, I tend to be fine, it's just the mornings!

Best wishes for the new term,
