Leaving

Today marked the end of my time at Queensbury, after five years of going there for school and sixth form it's strange to think I no longer have lessons or a set timetable. Most people spend their school days wishing they could leave but I honestly loved the time I spent at that school.

I'm glad that I took a chance back in 2008 and decided to go to a school where I didn't know many people because it was one of the best decisions. I've met some brilliant people and made some of the best friends I could ask for, I really don't know what I'd do without them now. They make me laugh every single day and I have tons of memories and jokes with all of them. At the beginning of year nine I would have never guessed I'd be where I am today. My teachers, particularly the ones that taught me at A-Level, made my time at Queensbury enjoyable and have helped me soo much over the past two years in particular. I'll miss them and seeing my friends everyday a lot. I think teachers can be undervalued sometimes - they do so much more than just talk at students about a certain subject for a few hours a week. At sixth form I definitely think you get to know small parts of the real 'people' behind the 'teacher' side of them and I feel privileged to be part of that. 

I wish all my friends and everyone else whose time at Queensbury has come to an end all the best for the future and for the upcoming exams. All of the people who have applied for University, I hope you all end up where you want to be and even if it wasn't your first choice - that it will be the right one. All our lives we've been working towards this point and now we're finally here it's so surreal because it always seemed so far away. Despite this being the end of something it's not the end of everything. I hope you keep in contact with all the people you've gotten to know over the past years because regardless of the good and bad things; they helped make you who you are today.

Thank you!

Laura.

Vice Versa

"I shiver, thinking how easy it is to be totally wrong about people, to see one tiny part of them and confuse it for the whole, to see the cause and think it’s the effect or vice versa."
- Lauren Oliver

I won't be posting all that much over the next couple of months due to my A-level exams but I hope all of your revision and preparation is going well!

Best wishes,

Laura.

One of my best friends Emma replied to a blog post of mine a while back. The post was about time and was based on the saying "time heals". I loved her response so much that I decided to write it up, as it makes so much sense to me and I think other people would be able to relate to it too.

Sorry for the relatively brief post today and messy handwriting, I've been revising for my summer exams.
Hope every thing's going well.

Laura.
