School Organisation

This year I'm going in " seconde " ( it's the equivalent of the 10th grade in the UK and the year 11 in US I think ) so it's quite a big change for me : new school , new friends ( ?) , new teachers ,and ... new school organisation ! So I tough that I could show you how I'm going to organise myself this year so that you could have some ideas ;)

Last year, the teacher used to give us a list of furnitures for the year, so i just have to follo this list, but this year there's no list so i have to do it myself (but with the advice of my sister). I used to have a copy book for each school subjet , and I take an other one if its end in the middle of the year . But i changed it because i've never liked when in the middle of the year your bag is SO heavy because your books are full.

So like the most of the "new student of the high school " I'm going to take a "trieur " ( What is the word in English ?? ) , you probably know what it is but if you don't, it's like a wallet ( I don't know if it's the right word... I mean " pochette" ) with like inserts ( Is it the right word ? Again, I don't know, I wanted to say " intercalaires " ). Well, to go with it, I'm going to take a sheet book, and to put them in my "trieur" at the end of a class. BUT I don't want that the same thing happen: no heavy bag in the middle of the year ! So at home, I'm going to have a folder for each subject, and when I finish a chapter I will put my sheets in it ( I prefer to wait to finish a chapter to put it in it , then to put it every night because if I have a study hour, I will have the chapter that we study with me to begin my homeworks... )

But it's never that simple with me, I'm also going to take copy books , but only for specific subjects : Languages ( or do we say speaking ? ) . I prefer to have copybooks for languages because I like to have all the year with me , because I )ways have to see again the vocabulary ...

So that's it for "taking note things" ....

In my pencil case there's nothing original ... I have the basic things, but I'm also going to take , A LOT , of colored pencils and highlighters , cause I'm going to try to do a lot of colors in my books , so maybe it will be easier for me to learn it after. It's the first time I do that , because in the high school we wasn't allowed to have lots of colored so I hope it will work.

I'm going to stop there for today , but maybe I will do another post about the little things that I do to help me to learn , like DIY as it .

And you in what class would be you the year which comes ? what are you using ? Do you know the translation of , " pochette " and " interclaires " ?

Fifth of September , Five songs

Today , I wanted to share with you four songs that I am listening A LOT in that time they are not the happiest songs and maybe it's quite strange because I think that people probably prefer to listen to happy songs in summer ... But well I like them so stop talking start listening !

The first song is " Dream " by Priscilla Ahn . Okay , this song is quite old , but never mind ? I find that song really sweet and very cute , the lyrics are adorable , and this girl have a wonderful voice , I think that I will replay it constantly in my bed in winter.

The second song is " Long way down " by Tom Odell , you probably heard it if you saw " The fault in our stars " because it is playing in the movie , the melody is a bit slow and I didn't completely understand the lyrics but I think that they are a bit sad , but that's really the kind of song that I like , and again I do think that I will play it a lot during autumn/winter .

I also wanted to present you a singer that I just discovered , it's Gabrielle Aplin , I really liked her "world" and her kind of songs , I didn't listen all of them but the little part that I heard was amazing , I've had to make a choice to present you only one of her song and I were hesitating between lot of songs but I decided to put " Panic cord " because I don't know .. I just decided like that !

Then I want to talk about " Shake it off " by Taylor swift , I really liked the rhythm , I found it really catchy and it make me want to dance every time I listen to it , I do think it's a happy song , don't you ? Also I really loved the video , particulary the part with the ballerinas , that I found beautiful and really funny .

And to finish I just wanted to share with this song is called " Sloom " by Of Monsters and Men , I didn't listen attentively the lyrics , I didn't look at the clip I've just listened , because you know sometimes , it's what you have to do with music , and I just found it ... Awesome , I mean , it's a very simple song , not a lot of instruments , what I've heard of the lyrics was very simple too but I just loved it a lot ... We'll I think I'm going to look at the other songs of this band because this one makes me very happy !

And you what are the songs that you a replaying ?
