Looking Forward To It

Here I am at the start of a two year International Baccalaureate Diploma course with all these challenges ahead of me.

I want to be able to look back at this and think: "That wasn't as hard as I thought  it might be".

I feel that if approached in the right way the IB need not be a ridiculous amount of effort that some have suggested that it might be.

For example, I think that a blog will be the best way to keep track of my experiences and reflections, not just in relation to CAS and Theatre Studies, where journals are required, but for all the aspects of the IB, and my transition from GCSE student to a prospective university candidate.

My ambition is to pursue a career in Psychology, and my IB subjects have been chosen with this in mind, and I am hoping that this blog will allow me to document my own insights and feelings about my studies as I go along, so that it will prove of benefit to me in retrospect - and if it is useful or interesting to other (prospective or current) IB students then all the better.

I am writing this in August 2011 before term starts, because I subscribe to Colin Jackson's advice to Linford Christie that turned him from a good sprinter into an Olympic Gold Medallist: "You can start on the B of BANG".
