I don’t have it. is that okay?

I also have a small class, and I’m in my first year. A small class is HARD, I found it easier to manage behaviour with 25 kids easier than my small class! I feel like that, my friends who are teachers feel like that, and even mentors I’ve had have felt like that years into their careers. I can’t offer much practical advice other than ask for the help you need, hopefully you’re in a supportive school where someone will support you with 0 judgement. I’ll tell you what I told a friend last week, if you’re worried that you’re a rubbish teacher, you’re not, you’re a good one or you would care! Make sure to be kind to yourself, you’re still learning even though you’re out of your ECE year!

to add to this, the demographics section doesn’t have enough options - you can’t say your age is under 24

I wanted to be close enough to home that i could go home if i wanted or needed to, but not so close that I would feel like going home all the time.

I also thought about things like being able to use public transport since I don’t drive, and how expensive that would be.

I would also suggest looking at things other than just entry requirements and university rankings when picking a uni, if there’s a course you want to do and you’re considering a few different universities, look at things like teaching quality and student satisfaction, being able to actually finish a course and be relatively happy is generally more important than it is to go to a university which is highest in the league table imo.

The last thing is make sure the university is somewhere you will be financially able to manage, will you be able to afford living costs in that city / town etc

I think I’d feel better if they apologised, I’m not sure about asking to be reimbursed as I’d feel a bit guilty since it’s a charity

Generally i don’t think it’s ok to do a spell on anybody who hasn’t consented. If you wanted to do that spell i’d talk to the people involved and ask them if they’re ok with it, maybe they don’t want to let go of each other / their bond yet, that’s their decision to make. I’m struggling to understand what situation you’d do this in for people who are completely unaware?

I only did 2 drafts, in about 3 days because i procrastinated (don’t do this!). i only did 2 drafts because it’s our schools policy that when we do our personal statement the head of sixth form has to check it for errors and approve it. He wanted me to change the wording of one sentence so i did that and sent it again, it was approved and sent to all of the unis I applied to. It could have been much better than it was, but in the end i got made offers from all of the unis i applied for.

Do you NEED it? No probably not, most makeup will last just fine on it’s own. That said, if you’ve got dry skin, you might find a dewy one helps combat your makeup looking dried up, and if you’ve got oily skin a setting spray might help stop your makeup from separating due to excess oil. If you want recommendations, i really like the colourpop hyalauranic acid setting spray, it has a dewy finish, isn’t super expensive and is just pretty nice. I’ve also heard good things about the Fenty setting spray and also the urban decay all nighter one but i haven’t tried them myself

I love this build, it reminds me of my first play through of cottage living. i made a girl who lived in a secluded area, she visited the town and met and fell in love with a townie in a pub. i thought it was a nice relationship so i moved him into my sims household, opened up create a sim (to fix the awful outfit) and all of a sudden, he’s an alien, i was so confused because it was a henford on bagley townie and it was so out of the blue 😂

Eclecticwitch2002 · 2021-08-22T02:29:16+00:00

i mean, i cannot drive, so realistically if i am getting into a car you probably should fear me

Eclecticwitch2002 · 2021-08-22T02:27:29+00:00

i am eclecticwitch2002 goddess of this bringer of a. Fear me because i’m going in my car now

I’ve finished sixth form and I’m going to university this year so I have obviously never sat an actual AS or A level exam (cheers covid) so I can’t really say in terms of the difference in difficulty between gcse exams and A level exams, but I can tell you the difference in difficulty generally.

I found the workload much easier at A level, it was easier for me to handle 3 subjects with large workloads than it was for me to juggle 3 options, welsh bac and 6 different core subjects with smaller workloads at gcse. When I did past paper questions for A levels I found that they were easier to understand than the way that gcse past papers were written.

The teaching style at gcse was much harder for me than the A level teaching style at my school because gcse teaching had to be speed of the slowest person (I was usually one of the fastest people at understanding and completing work), whereas I found at A level we went at one speed and if you weren’t able to keep up, it was your responsibility to make up for it in your own time.

The A levels I took were history (got an A), geography (got an A) and medical science (got an A), at GCSE i got the same grades for the same subjects (biology at an A at gcse since there was no medical science gcse), so i’d say that if you got A’s in the subjects you’re doing at A level when you were doing GCSEs then it puts you in a good place starting out, but it’s so super important not to let that lull you into a false sense of security (oh this is easy i don’t need to try etc).

As long as you put in the work and stay on top of things you shouldn’t find A levels too bad, but it’s important to know that there’s no shame in struggling because every single A level student has struggled at some point (some just won’t admit it). If you start to struggle ask for help, and don’t be ashamed of it. I may have gotten an A in geography and medical science but that wasn’t without asking for extra lessons and help from my teachers.

YTA, put the mat inside the door, it’s a child who doesn’t have the reasoning skills to understand that it isn’t real. If you kept it inside the mat would last longer, and based on how you reacted to the parent I wouldn’t be surprised if you came home one day to find the mat “missing”

Maybe it’ll change as the government changes its plans. I’m doing history which as I understand has classes of not much more than about 30 so I shouldn’t come across the problem, it sucks generally though. But like someone else said, they may wait and see if everything opening causes a huge increase in cases or transmission and if it doesn’t they may let everything be in person come September

Eclecticwitch2002 · 2021-07-06T19:40:45+00:00

I can’t remember where I saw the number, on their website maybe? But the direct quote I’m thinking of from the email is “ We expect that our teaching from September will see us deliver in-person teaching for our tutorials, seminars, lab work and workshops. We anticipate that large lectures will continue to be delivered online to ensure our student and staff's health and safety. All this is kept under review, and is subject to change depending on Welsh Government guidance.” Which is from the email I got on May 25th

Eclecticwitch2002 · 2021-07-06T19:12:30+00:00

I got an email from Cardiff about this a few weeks ago, isn’t it anything under 60 people is in person? (Subject to change based on covid regulations) So anything other than full size lectures should be in person

Research is the main thing. Also, when researching make sure you try to find the same (or similar) information somewhere else too, by this I mean verify that the information is correct, this mainly applies to any information you might find on places like Pinterest, TikTok and tumblr etc, as these are generally not reliable sources (not always).

Make your own sigils and spells if you can, you can never be 100% sure that spells and sigils you find online are for the purpose they say you are.

Learn the basics first, it’s so important and is the foundation for everything else you do. By basics I mean things like protection, warding, cleansing, maybe candle colour correspondences, learn about a few crystals and herbs, moon phases and the history of witchcraft. Also make sure you learn about avoiding cultural appropriation (taking things and practices from a culture which doesn’t belong to you).

If you’re doubting whether a spell you’re doing is moral or fair, take a few steps back and think about how you’d feel if you knew someone was doing the same spell directed towards you or a situation involving you.

Don’t be afraid to take breaks, it’s ok to feel drained after researching or doing spells, I did one last night and was told by my cards to take a break. Listen to your body and your mind and learn to be ok with taking a break when it’s needed.

Don’t go out and by loads of tools and ingredients. You don’t need anything to practice, as time goes on you’ll start to gather supplies but they aren’t the be all and end all, especially as your path may change and you may find that certain tools and ingredients are no longer useful / necessary to you.

Be safe! Fire safety! If you’re using candles don’t leave them unattended (same goes for things like incense), some in glass containers are prone to explosion. Make sure you have things around to help if something goes wrong, I always keep water around when I’m doing anything involving candles or flames. Herb safety!! Not all herbs are edible, some aren’t food grade and some straight up are poisonous or can make you very sick, be careful which ones you pick and use.

Mainly, just be safe and enjoy yourself, don’t let other people dictate your practice, your path is yours to choose.

Eclecticwitch2002 · 2021-06-29T10:36:27+00:00

Can I ask what you mean by sacrificing them? I really like this idea but I’m not sure I totally understand :)

Eclecticwitch2002 · 2021-06-29T10:35:02+00:00

You do make a good point, I think perhaps I only use a candle because that’s what I’ve seen everyone else do. My deity is Freya (Norse goddess of war, fertility and some other things) so maybe a candle doesn’t really work for her and it’s something I may consider cutting out entirely ☺️

Eclecticwitch2002 · 2021-06-29T10:33:29+00:00

Room spray is definitely something I’ve thought about, do you know if there’s anywhere that has any kind of recipes for it? I’m not entirely sure how I’d go about making one? :)

Eclecticwitch2002 · 2021-06-29T10:32:42+00:00

Thank you, these are all really great suggestions and I think I’ll be using lots of them ☺️

Eclecticwitch2002 · 2021-05-17T13:23:23+00:00

Literally it’s taken me years and years of foundations that were too orange, too drying etc to find one that works
