My first day back to school after my long summer was very different from what I had become used to over the summer.
For starters I'd had to get up at the ungodly hour that is eight o'clock. Then there was the question of what to wear, which I've realised is a pain in the arse in the morning when the last thing you want is to have to think whether your clothes are acceptable "smart business wear" or not.
Once at school it wasn't too bad, but the first days of a new year never are, mainly because most lessons involve sitting in a chair for an hour while the teacher sums up a two year cours: necessary - yes, fun - not so much . . .
I do realise however that, despite the IB Diploma being heralded as the hardest course you can take pre-University, it seems less like the difficulty of the actual work is the problem, than the quantity of work one is required to complete makes it difficult to keep up with. It will be a challenge but one I feel I am up to - even if it does mean commandeering my living room so I am able to organise myself . . .
