What did you get out of going back in time last summer?
I think the best part of the King's School experience was dissecting
a rat and an eye! I was mostly left to dissect the rat by myself, and
although I thought it was a little cruel, I was glad of the
opportunity to dissect an animal without being sick, and that's
something I've been happy to tell everyone!
I think the worst part was the work. I'd been looking forward to my
summer holidays, but instead I spent them working and getting
stressed. I somehow felt I had to do well in the exams, even though I
knew they weren't real, but I was waking up at 5am to revise for
history tests and for some of the exams. I felt run down by the
amount of work we had and also the physical education lessons we had,
since I hadn't done sports for two years and it was a shock to the
system.
I lost half a stone, which is something I got out of the experience.
I can also now empathise with what my poor grandparents had to endure
when they went to school, and realise that they weren't exaggerating
after all!
