 Hello! Today I am gonna talk About Minecraft (I know no one reads these but I like writing them anyway) So, Minecraft is a blocky, sandbox game that lets you explore new worlds, build empires or ward off vicious foes. This game was largely laughing stock when 70% of it's fan base was 7 year old boys, but then again, at least it isn't as much as a joke is as Roblox these days. I knew about Minecraft ever since I came to primary school. At my school, there was a Minecraft club held in one of the computer rooms after school, I remember thinking along with most of my classmates, "Pfft, what nerds." That was until I went to one of my friends houses. (I cannot display their name for privacy reasons so we will call them Violet)  Ok, so we were at Violet's house and she was showing me a game on her tablet. She was showing me Minecraft. (Thank you Violet, you changed my life) Anyway, she had this huge grey house and all I remember was that she had a HUGE glass room at the...

 How to survive boring classes at school Hello everybody! There is always that one teacher that seems to suck all the fun out of everything. They often spend most of the lesson ranting on about something instead of giving you a cool activity to do. And just so you know, this post is not an attack on boring teachers, just a resource for their students. There are no boring people, only boring lessons.  At my school teachers vary, one of my history teachers, for example, had us crack a cool code in history. But then there are the teachers who never seem to plan anything hands on. Take my science teacher for example, he is an interesting person, he is an artist and former triathlon  racer. His lessons however, are less than interactive. He lectures us then gives us a sheet to do 'under test conditions'. So most days were stuck inside working in silence while the other classes are conducting an experiment on potato's or  doing elephants toothpaste, or at least that's what...

 I finished Harry Potter! Hello everyone! I am pleased to announce I just finished The HP Series and Merlin's Beard was it amazing! I just got sucked into the famous Series! I absolutely loved it! So I thought today's post would be Harry Potter themed! So I have 3 things that I will share with you. The first being my favourite things about the series, the second being the link to an amazing harry potter BuzzFeed that tells you what house you would be in (I am in Gryffindor) and lastly a quiz I made myself that tells you what grade you would get in your N.E.W.Ts (Nastily exhausting wizarding test) So, lets begin: My preferences My personal opinion is that the best character(s) is either Fred and  George or Hermione. My favourite things they say are: (Spoiler alert!!!)  Hermione 1ST book: If you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another crazy idea to get us killed, or worse, EXPELLED! George in the order of the phoenix after M...

Rusty is grante...
