End of Course

Dear students,
I hope you have passed all (or most of) your subjects! Enjoy summer and don't forget English! I will try to keep posting entries, although everything will be slower, as you know I am leaving for Ireland in a few days. Of course, I want you to tell me your commentaries, experiences, jokes, ideas.... HUGS!!!

"Selectividad": Good Luck!

Hi all,


Iwould like you to have happy thoughts for my students in their second year of Bahillerato, as they start to face our "frightening" "selectividad." Good luck to all of you! Relax and don't worry. I hope your results match your hopes and wishes! Remember, be quiet and don't get nervous. You are prepared, so do not worry more than usual. Buena suerte a todos y a todas!!!

Trinity College Examinations: Congratulations!

I would like to congratulate all the students who took the Trinity Exam at our school last week. You all have passed your exams. You should feel proud of yourselves. Go on like this!!! Cheers!!!

Exams!!!

Yeah, exams. Most of you are students... time to panic!! Exams are come!! They're gonna blow your brains off! You are going to lose your social life, friends and family. Horror! Terror! Suffering! Pain! Nights without sleep! Coffee! Don't take me seriously, just kidding. Exams are a step towards your future. You have to take them as everybody had, has and will have to. Just some tips... Do get organized as soon as possible in order to take advantage of your time. It's good to feel nervous before an exam (but do not nerves control you) because that means you have studied enough to pass the exam. Don't get blocked! If you read a line 10 times and you don't remember even a bit, please, take a break. You need to sleep at least 8 hours. You know yourselves, so you know beforehand which subjects are the most difficult and the easiest for you. Try to isolate yourselves in your study room. A piece of advice: do not listen to music. You normally play music you like and your mind flies towards it. It seems you are studying, but you aren't. No distractions at all, please (TV, computers, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU SHOULDN'T BE READING THIS!!!). This will only last a couple weeks and you will survive, I promise! Finally, dont worry, be happy! Good luck!!!!
