i love bands where the singer can’t sing but can convey emotions though their singing in a way that is impossible to describe. like yes u sing like an absolute dickhead but you are also somehow expressing exactly how i feel through the cracks in your voice
IVE SURVIVED MY FIRST WEEK OF TEACHING
That is a milestone moment I should be immensely proud of myself; schools are such busy, chaotic furnaces that constantly have to churn out the best results, best students and best teachers that they do not have the time to recognise what a crazy milestone that is.
But I’ve done it. My name is written on the front of 64 English books. A name associated with my classroom number, my name that is then associated with set classes on Microsoft teams and all the other data sheets. I’ve had powered through a year of rigorous training and I’m finally going to be paid for it.
Being confident in your own classroom is hard. I’m steely, but everything is so new that I’m doing things for the first time so I don’t properly know how to do them. It’s all well and good being told that “it’s your classroom your rules” when you don’t even know what you want your rules to be because you’ve only ever taught in someone else’s space and domain, that has its own set of unwritten rules already. Teaching and learning adjustments are weird as well, and very overwhelming at times, but we crack on and try our best. Trying to relax the pressures on myself by reminding myself that I’m, technically, only contracted as a years cover supply.
I knew I was going to miss it, but god does my heart miss Wetherby. Im hoping this new school will feel like a home soon, but every part of me misses Wetherby right now, and it’s hard not to compare.
But, that’s one week down. And another 40 to go (week 1/40…Jesus Christ)
I haven’t uploaded to this blog in years. The bio even says that I’m a second year A Level student.
Today I saw my own classroom for the first time.
A first class undergrad degree and a PGCE later, I start as a Teacher of English at a widely successful school in Leeds, that prides itself on putting its students at the forefront of learning.
You did well, girl, go you x
Finally, an actual piece of original writing that required some individuality. Oof. So, some really exciting news – I’m a potential writer for The Tab! They’re super chill with th…
please read!!!!
So, I know I’ve been really inactive on here but I’ve started writing a blog (and maybe started writing for The Tab) and I’d really appreciate if you could check out my work (if u want lol) mollparker.home.blog/2019/02/05/the-things-i-wish-i-had-been-told-about-university/
thank u my dudes
Currently been off college for the past 2 days since we've had the worst storm ever! I've completely tidied my room (been doing it for the past 3 years lol) and rewatching the entirety of Black Butler. Meant to be doing work since my exams are in 12 weeks, but also wanted to make the most of starting March off right with exercise and horsey time So have a picture of me and Harlow playing in the snow
I NEED A ROCKET UP MY ARSEHOLE
Ahhhhh, I really need to post more. I need to blog more. I need to revise more. I need to read more. I need to write more. I need to chill more. I need to take care of myself more. I need to ride more. I need to make time for my friends and family.
fucked it lads.
Well, I got my January synoptic grades the other day and it resulted in about 3 hours worth of crying, a bit of vomitting and panicking and a night long headache. They weren’t that awful (BBC) however, they also are because I won’t even get into my insurance uni with those grades. All my teachers were like ‘There’s 3 months yet dw’ but that made me worry more because there’s only 3 months left. Fucked it.
Didn’t find the jump from GCSE to A Levels that hard, but what I am struggling with is the jump from AS to A2.
I was thinking of how I need to blog more, but I normally only post ‘proper’ articles on my blog, and how I’d love to vlog (like Zoella or smth) so I realised I should probably write more texts posts on my studyblr. So, let’s hope I get into a habit of this. Most likely not.
anyways...
It is a lonely feeling when someone you care about becomes a stranger.

Internet of Things: A Journey Through Time & The Net
By Eleanor Scales
Hi everyone! I’m Eleanor and I’m back again with another video.
This one is very different from the last one, but hopefully you’ll still enjoy it. This video was created by myself and my boyfriend (Voxpop’s tech support) as part of his Computing coursework, where he had to explain what the Internet of Things is and what it does in the form of a video. He asked me to help film and edit, and we had the best time whilst we were doing it.
I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it!
Sorry for the shitty lighting but some Frankenstein and Never Let Me Go context notes for the Prose element of the lit exam (which is proving to be much fucking harder than I initially thought)
Starting to make a terminology booklet because I am so behind on my understanding of A01 🔫 sorry for the shite quality but I'm loving my handwriting recently! 🤘😋
04/10/2017 I got my new markers today! The ones I had from Muji were all out of ink, and because there is no Muji anywhere near me I ordered other ones, now the pastel colors from Stabilo Boss. I can’t wait to try these out while studying, the colors are beautiful!
On Uncommon Types of Mermaids (Excerpt)
(Extracted from the article “On Uncommon Types of Mermaids” by Eliza Archer, published on the Journal of the National Cryptozoological Institute in 2015)
Both in legend and historical records, the figure of the mermaid is present, either as a legend or as a historical account. Sea and river mermaids are the most commonly known types, but there is little scientific input on other, less common, kinds of mermaid.
[…] With this work, we intend to bring attention to the most uncommon species of mermaid across the world and the dangers they entail. The aim of this article is merely communication and information and it does not constitute a safe guide to deal with or study mermaids.
Groundwater mermaids
Just like most underground animals, groundwater mermaids are blind. There are no records that allow us to know if they have any kind of echolocation system.
Their method of hunting involves floating in the dark and waiting for ripples and waves in the still water that might indicate the presence of prey.
Their main source of sustenance is the last breaths of oxygen in cave diver’s tanks. They have, nevertheless, been reported to survive for years without any intake. To date, at least twenty deaths have been attributed to groundwater mermaids, mostly in North America and Eastern Europe.
They sport bioluminescent specks on their skin, used to lure prey towards them. Divers are advised to not follow any light other than their flashlight, and to use uncommon light colors such as red.
When enraged they have been known to cause earthquakes (Shanghai, 1876), poison the water supply (Maysville, 1985), and sink small towns into the ground (Villalegre, 1923).
Swimming pool mermaids
In 1984 18 year-old Rachel was declared dead after drowning in her family’s swimming pool in Santa Monica, CA. A week later, her family reported seeing her swimming at night and trying to lure her younger sister into the water. The family moved a month later to another state, and the house was demolished. There are no more records on this incident.
In 1995, 7 women between the ages of 17 and 21 went missing and 10 men between the ages of 17 and 23 were found dead in a backyard on the outskirts of Fort Lauderdale, FL. They had attended a pool party during the night, and the bodies of the 10 young men were found in the morning. Investigators reported that the men had died from acute airborne chlorine poisoning, higher than the levels found in the pool. The women were never found.
Between 1980 and 2005, at least three water parks across the globe closed with no discernible reason. Other than some reports of accidents and disappearances, we cannot find a proper link between this and the presence of pool mermaids, but it is worth mentioning.
Reports describe this species as very pale, with thinning hair and bleached, cracked skin. These are a type of Singers and are attracted by loud music. We can deduce by the events in Fort Lauderdale in 1995 that they are capable of increasing and decreasing the chlorine content of a swimming pool, and surviving high levels of it.
We want to remind our readers that the events mentioned are the only recorded events of swimming pool mermaids, and that the probabilities of encountering one are very small as their numbers seem scarce.
Blood mermaids
It is extremely difficult to find any records on this species of mermaids and it is still debated if they are just fiction or if they are an actual, if rare kind of mermaid.
In the 1787 version of Bluebeard written by Anne-Marie Benoit, the murderer’s last wife finds the room where the previous wives’ corpses are. This room is described as “[…] covered in blood, so deep that Vivienne could sink her foot in it and she would still not touch the stone floor. […] Shaken by the sight, she dropped the golden key, which sunk straight to the bottom. Frantically, the young girl tried to reach for it, but she was not able to find it. She fell to her knees and started crying, for surely now her husband would find out she had stepped in the forbidden room. But suddenly, a bloody arm emerged from the blood, and handed her key, now red rather than golden. The face of a dark haired woman appeared too, staring silently at her. Several other women emerged from the blood, and started approaching the first one. Terrified, Vivienne grabbed the key and ran away from the room, locking it behind her.”
A paper written by Lord Thomas Crawford in 1886 describes in great detail this species of mermaid. He describes them as inhabiting only places where extreme bloodshed has happened, and only surviving as long as their blood supply does not run out. They only seem to inhabit it, and are never observed to consume it. They are described as being deathly pale and sporting dark scales. After Thomas Crawford’s death, many of the pages of his work were lost, along with his methods. Without any explanation of how he managed to perform such an extensive investigation, his work has been mostly considered as speculative or outright fiction.
The subject of whether Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed could have been a historical blood mermaid, has been debated for decades. Thomas Crawford addresses it in his paper, indicating that she was, in fact, not one and that “she is another kind of creature altogether.”
