Because of my previous home-schooling experience, having to complete studies at home doesn't seem all that unfamiliar. I recorded some things I got up to in one day in quarantine, so you can see how sixth form is working for me even though I'm not there. I also wanted a little record of my time during lock-down so I can look back at it in years to come.
Workout
First thing I did after getting up was a 20 minute Pamela Reif workout from YouTube. These workouts are so fantastic, at first you feel as though your muscles might explode and this was only beginner but I collapsed after basically every step. However, after a few days of these you feel like a super human.I would really recommend these if you're in quarantine right now, they always make me feel so happy and accomplished.
After my workout, I had a nice shower, using this lovely Body Shop Shea Shower Cream which smells so good, this made me feel lovely and fresh after my workout.
After this shower, I got dressed and put my makeup on. I have decided to keep dressing as I normally would during lock-down, just because it makes me feel more motivated and helps me feel more like normal, so I wore this black t-shirt with my favourite camo jeans.
Breakfast
After my shower I had breakfast, which was a pikelet layered in butter on this particular day. This could be one of my favourite things to eat for breakfast, and is such a treat for me! It might seem a little unusual to some of you out there, I'm not sure how many people actually eat these!

Studying
After this lovely start to the day, I decided to do some studying. At this point I wasn't sure what was happening in reference to grades so I was just continuing with my work as usual, so I decided to study and spent some time planning an essay and writing it. I really enjoy studying at home because I did it for so long before reaching college. I find that I can be more productive this way, in my own little environment. In this sense not a lot has changed for my studying routine, apart from not having lessons to go to. I am just struggling with a bit of motivation as exams were cancelled (post coming soon on my thoughts on it!).
I also decided to do a bit of Bible study. Having lockdown has meant I have more time for God and studying the Bible which has been a blessing.

It was really warm and sunny so I went for a lovely walk with my family. I have been trying to have a walk everyday because going outside in the fresh air makes me feel refreshed. I find that sitting at a desk doing my work for so long can get a little monotonous and my concentration wonders so going for a walk helps me when I sit back down again to study to get back in focus mode. I am trying to have breaks in between each study session, but I can so easily get distracted and an hour break turns into a whole afternoon!
After this I came home, I watched some TV and had a relax with my family.

This makes me miss A-Levels so much! I did A-Levels for only a year until I moved to the States! That's interesting that you were homeschooled - do you have any tips and advice in staying motivated to study? That's something I've been struggling with in this quarantine and need to work on since I'm graduating this semester 😅
