User blog:Georgie99/It's that time of year again...

Yes, that's right. Sadly, it's the time of year when school begins, the weather gets worse, and flu viruses flock to me in hordes. My first day of college was roughly two weeks ago (for all of my transatlantic friends, college in the UK is equivalent to the junior and senior years of high school, if I'm not mistaken), and I've had hardly any free time since. This is the first time that I've actually visited the wiki in quite a while.

I'm studying Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics with Mechanics, and Computing, so the workload is pretty intense, and there's almost as much homework as there is classwork. The work isn't exactly difficult; it's the sheer amount of it that gets me. The college also happens to be a forty minute journey away from my house, so I have to get up at 6:30 almost every single morning, and I usually arrive home between 4:30 and 6:30.

Thankfully, the college also offers a variety of extracurricular clubs, and I've signed up for astronomy, tennis, and creative writing. I've also already met some pretty cool people. Not a single one of my friends from my old school goes to my college, so the first few days were a little awkward, to say the least. I think the worst part is just getting used to the change, which is something that I'm not excellent at dealing with.

So, sorry to everybody whose stories I've promised to read and review. I really can't say exactly how active I'm going to be over the next couple of months or so, but I should hopefully be able to spend more time on here once I adjust to college and settle in. I might actually be able to make some progress on my own story. Imagine that!

But to end on a more positive note, my GCSE results were fantastic! :D
