Keep calm and study hard







December 20, 2015

Alright, the first term is officially done! No more classes until February 8, 2016. But that means the study period has started as well. I began already yesterday but to be honest, I haven't done very much... Today, I am really going to start, with Accounting. My planning says that I have to be done with chapter 1 and 2, that's doable I guess. I actually am counting down the days until the end of the exams, 31 days left to be precise. After the exams, I am going to sleep for days! And after that, I might go to the coast with my sister and we are also going to go skiing, I am really looking forward to that! It is with the student Association HILOK and we are going to Orelle, in France. But that's still far away, first I have to study and, hopefully, pass all the exams (or at least as much as possible). 

Yesterday, I went to the Christmas fair in Ronse. My sister dances in a company, the Dance Lab Company and they performed there. It was beautiful! After her dance performance, we had a drink with our family and some friend who also came. We had a lot of fun at the cosy Christmas fair! We also went to dinner at an Italian restaurant. 
Tonight, I am going to the Christmas fair in Ghent, Also with my sister and her boyfriend. We are planning not to stay very long because we all have to study... 


Of course Christmas is coming soon and New Years Eve too. We don't do family visits on Christmas day so I can study on that day. We only go to family on Christmas eve. On New Years Eve, some friends will come to have dinner and after dinner, we are going to party in Oudenaarde. I did plan on studying the day after but only in the afternoon because I think I am going to sleep a bit longer and than have breakfast and than I have to open my presents. We always do that on New Year and not on Christmas Day. 

So this is it for my blog, I hope you liked it!

Exams are approaching




December 13, 2015

Alright, this is blog 5 already, almost done!

One more week, 5 days to be precise, to go and then it is time to study, a lot... I am actually really stressing out. I am not sure if I am going to get ready in time. I just want to pass all of the exams but I have to stay realistic so I won't mind if I would have one re-examination. But first, I have to finish my portfolio of TMD, which is still a lot of work, unfortunately... My portfolio of ICT is already done so that is one less thing to worry about. 

Remember I talked about learning to drive? Well, I did all the hours of driving lessons and I have an appointment on Tuesday December 15, third time good time, I hope! I just need to stay calm because that is my biggest issue... Maybe I should take a pill to remain calm (not a bad idea actually!).
I went to work today, which was really exhausting because I slept very bad and I woke up with a bad cold... After work, I slept for 2 hours and after that I went back to the bakery but not to work. There was a tasting with products that they are going to sell at the end of the year. There were a lot of things to taste, from appetizer to dessert. 



On friday, I went to Antwerp with Salomé. We went shopping first, of course, and then in the evening, we had dinner at Wagamama, a thai restaurant. When we were finished, we went to the Opera because a friend of us figured in an opera, called "La Bohème". It was a really nice play! 

This was the second last blog post, see you guys later!

Christmas is coming


  

December 7, 2015

Here I am again, after 2 weeks, which were again very busy...

Let's talk about school first. I feel like I am drowning in school work but that is kind of my own fault because I suffer from procrastination. I still have to make a portfolio for TMD, the one for ICT too but I have already started on that one and then of course all the tasks for International Business English. I just don't know where to begin... The good thing is that I already have made an exam schedule starting from 19 December. I am not sure if I am going to pass all the exams (I am just stressing out) but I will do my best!

Of course I have other things to do than working for school such as my weekend job. I love doing it but it is time-consuming. I have to wake up, on Saturday or Sunday, at 5 a.m. to start at 6 a.m. and I have to work until 1 p.m. After I am done working, I am exhausted so I sleep for an hour, maybe 2... And recently I go babysitting, occasionally. It all takes time but I need money so I have to work as much as possible...
Another thing that takes time is learning to drive... I did my driving test already 2 times. On 19 October and today, 7 December, and unfortunately, I failed again, which is very frustrating... Because I failed already 2 times, I have to take 6 hours of driving lessons. The first 2 lessons are already today, this evening at 6 p.m. 




Putting up christmas trees also take a lot of time. That is what I did yesterday. And yes, I said christmas trees, plural, because we have 2 of them. We love christmas so yes, we don't think 1 is enough.

So this was my 4th blog post, 2 more to go!
See you next time!
