Hello guys!
So you know it was Year 11's GCSE Results Day today... So I returned to my school to collect to see what I had achieved... I was expecting worse but surprisingly, I didn't expect to get a C in English Language! Only worst thing is that I achieved an E in History, but I was expecting that because History involved a lot of writing and that, so I struggled in the subject.
English Language: C
English Literature: D
Mathematics: B
Science: C
Additional Science: C
Religious Studies: C
Information Technology: Merit
History: E
Business Studies: Merit
Fine Art: B
BTEC Art: Distinction
My mother had called the college to confirm my place, but the problem is one of my A Levels, Film Studies, is only one year, so I'll need to pick another subject for the second year so this is quite frustrating but I think I might pick Business Studies.

Interesting Article!
The article I've read about how to prevent hearing loss and so far, it was rather interesting to learn about it...
Take a look!
4 Things You Didn’t Know About Hearing Loss
Well, it might be impossible for most to believe it, but anyone can suffer from hearing loss, especially if you do not live a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle is mostly about being fit for just about anything. Whether you want higher body immunity, stronger muscles or even perfect eyesight, you still have to have a healthy body before you expect the feature you would like. The same thing applies to hearing too. Naturally, a healthy lifestyle minimizes the chances that you’ll suffer from hearing loss.
If you thought that hearing loss only begins at the age of 60, here are 4 things that might change your perception about hearing loss.
Most people with hearing loss problems are below 65 years old
It comes as a surprise that most of the people who have hearing loss are actually below 65 years of age. Although it is common for people to associate hearing loss to people who are above their sixties, most of these people are actually below 60 years of age. One of the reasons for this is the lack of living a healthy lifestyle, and this can include all sorts of things like the food you eat to the maximum volume that your eardrums can tolerate.
You can’t know that you have a hearing loss problem
Unlike what we usually think about hearing loss, it is almost impossible to realize that you have a hearing loss problem. You won’t notice that sounds from the environment are getting fainter each day because your body would naturally adapt to the low sound levels. It would thus take some time before you realize that you are in need of a hearing aid.
Your doctor may not find out that you have a hearing loss
It is common for most of us to rush to the doctor when a cold lasts for a longer period than expected. However, no matter how many times you go to a physician, the chances that he/she will discover that you have a hearing loss are pretty slim. This is because less than 20% of the physicians always check for hearing loss.
The earlier you start using a hearing aid, the better
This is actually true. If a person with a hearing loss waits too long before he/she starts using hearing aids, they might end up being less useful when things have advanced to another stage. So, it would be a good idea to find out that you have hearing loss and take the necessary actions.
How do I prevent hearing loss?
Though hearing loss cannot always be prevented because of genetic variations, keeping the volume of your iPod low is a good way to start preventing it. This is essentially important if you are accustomed to using earphones with rubber buds. Additionally, you should do all you can to prevent loud noises from reaching your ears. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and turning down the volume of your headphones are two great ways to protect yourself from hearing loss.

Busy Busy Busy!
I've just returned from my holiday in North Devon for a week and it was amazing. I went with my family, so we had been cycling 28 miles, crab fishing, rollerblading, body boarding, shopping and kiting. It was a shame that the river disallowed us to reach the chance to go kayaking which I had been looking forward to the most. At least I did enjoy! Also, the cottage was very nice, quite cosy and we had the river view in the garden which was great!
I've noticed that I seem to getting more tired everyday, partly the new implant. At the end of the day, I took the new implant off and there's a relief of silence like you're holding your arms up for long time and they get tired. It's just like that basically.
So, if you're considering a second implant, you must must must understand that if you do get it, you must be prepared because there can be struggles on your way such as headaches and tiredness. Always be prepared!
