The First Day - Summer Blog Post 2

I am surprised. The only word I can describe it. For 8 years in Raha this was the first that truly impressed me, just a little though. I'm not going to ramble about my opinions of the school before and  in its current state but I truly was surprised by the addressing of student feedback and its role in changing the school for the better. Although I do not enjoy school that much,  I do feel better about this year with excitement. Whether that be new facilities that may help us manage our time more efficiently or just that I am relishing the final year of studies, that is simply beyond me to answer.

With this I will say, I was happy to see my friends, most of my teachers and to be greeted with a new food provider. Since this is an English blog, I thought I would touch up on the end of last year and the start of the new year. Last year I would say was a success for me during the course as I established my knowledge whilst applying it toward assessments and the mock exams. My consolidation of ACTS skills and identifying themes,meaning and context has improved massively helping me for the mock exam and this coming year. One of the texts we all know we had studied had been Things Fall Apart, which I did not enjoy in terms of enjoyment and style of writing. The analysis was fine and all that but simply as a casual reader, it was terrible. On the other hand I am excited to read this Texts in Translations book called 'The Thief and the Dog' which will be interesting I bet. I am also excited in starting some poetry(surprised myself I know) mainly to helping my skills involving underlying themes and for the mock exams. I don't think poetry was my strong suit and this poetry unit should help with a previous text we had studied, Coriolanus.

School has started pretty well, for now at least! Until next time!
