First Day Back

This post is a little different to my usual fashion and beauty posts but I thought it would be nice just to tell you all about my first day back at school. So today was my first day back at school which meant waking up a lot earlier than I was used to! I was surprised when I woke up really early and was ready way before I had to get my bus so there was not last minute rushing around. I got into school and I was so nervous! I've just gone into year 10 which is my first GCSE year and all our forms and bands are mixed up now so I'm not with my friends as much. At my school you get out in a form in year 7 and then there are bands which are made up of 4 forms and there are 4 bands. All your lessons have people from the same band as you so you only see those people. When you get into year 10 there are only 2 bands and you aren't in forms. Anyway, I was extremely nervous as I didn't know many people who were going to be in my classes but I found that I wasn't the only one who was nervous! I don't know why I was so nervous because I've been going to the same school since I was in year 7. I got into form and found out it was photos today! We rarely have photos at school and I wasn't prepared for them at all because it was the first day back I was kind of lazy with my hair and make-up. For my GCSEs I've taken Product Design, Spanish, Textiles and History. After the embarrassment of photos my nerves were back as I had Product Design first and I didn't know anyone who had also taken it and I was terrified that I would be the only girl in the class! Luckily my friend Hollie had Engineering first so I walked down to the classroom with her and I was relieved to find out that two of my friends, Abbey and Lewis, had also taken product design. They didn't know anyone else taking it either so we were all in the same boat. When we were in the classroom I found out that a few people from my primary school had taken Product Design so it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Also the teacher that I have is lovely! I had him in year 7 for ICT and he actually still recognised me. I found him quite funny (although no one else laughed :L) and he was very relaxed and the lesson all went well despite how nervous I had been. Next I had Textiles and again, I didn't know anyone else in my class. Some of my friends had taken Textiles but they were all in another class. It turned out I knew the majority of the class, I just wasn't friends with them. I'm not going to lie, I don't really like my class but I hope once everyone is settled down I will enjoy it more. The lesson itself was terrible. It was the first day back and I wasn't prepared for proper work so my piece looked awful compared to everyone else's. Thankfully, the teacher I had I've had before twice and she seemed to like me so she offered encouragement but praising my work even though I knew it was terrible. Then I had Life Studies which is like PSHE and it was ok because we just watched a film but I didn't have any of my friends in my class so I was quite awkward but it was better because I had the same teacher last year for PRE and for History in year 7. Finally, I had History which wasn't that bad at all because there wasn't a seating plan so I got to sit next to my friend Maisy but I thought I was going to end up by myself! I also had e same teacher as last year and she used to be my form tutor until she went on maternity leave. Unfortunately, I think she's pregnant again and when I think someone is pregnant, I'm usually right so that means I will end up with a different teacher. 

So that was my day and overall it went quite well and I think I will enjoy it a lot more once I'm settled in and got back into routine. Have any of you started back today? What was your favourite lesson or your worst?
