Hi :) So I'm a 14 year old girl and I need some structure in my life to help motivate me to study as at the moment I have absolutely no structure and so I'm procrastinating a lot. I have been thinking about making my room look like a strict boarding school dorm for some time so I can pretend that I go to a strict boarding school and set myself "homework," each day to complete but I have some logistics questions to ask anyone who will help me...

*oh and please don't laugh because it might sound strange- which it probably is- but I think this would really benefit me as I have a good imagination which I still haven't lost even though I'm 14 and supposed to be grown up, thanks xx*

Anyway here are my questions and I know there are a lot so please just answer what you can but I would be especially grateful to anyone who can answer all of them...

#1~ What can I do to make my room look like a strict boarding school dormitory- as in one from the 1940's (UK) if you know what I mean? I already have plain white fitted sheets with a plain white (except for some flowers) duvet and my room is quite small so there's not much space.... I have a bunkbed and sleep on the bottom so what should I do with the top bunk? Also because my room is very small and only has a bunk bed and a desk and only a small space from the door to the end of the room to get to the desk and bunk bed I keep most of my stuff under the bed so what stuff should I put on the desk? -sorry a lot of questions I know-

#2~ What should I eat? So I was thinking if it's a strict boarding school and I live there then obviously i would eat there and I was wondering what sort of stuff I should eat, I already have a couple of ideas but I need some more if anyone has any:
Breakfast- Porridge oats, Weatabix, breakfast Biscuits, fruit, (anymore ideas?)
and milk/ water to drink

Lunch- sandwiches, soup
and water/ squash to drink

Snack- biscuit, cake, fruit, nuts, raisins,
and squash or water to drink

Dinner- whatever my family cooks

#3~This is my main question and I'm not joking when I say I would be super grateful to anyone who answers this well as I would be so gratefull xx

Basically I need help to design a daily schedule I can stick to so here are some things you need to know if you are going to make one for me (please do Xx)

*I get up at 5am
*I need to leave to catch the bus to my school (real school) at 8am
*I get home from real school at 4pm
dinner with my family is at 6:30pm-6:45pm
*My shower time is at 6:45pm-7:pm
*I go to bed at 10pm

other than that feel free to add what you want in- I would want it to look like a school timetable with STUDY periods and PREP (homework) periods, don't bother with lesson names just write study/ prep etc.

If I like your timetable then I will definitely use it and I will add a detail onto this post so you know that I have used it Xx

Thank you so much to anyone who can help me

Hi Bud. Slow time on the Seattle night shift again?
Don't do any of that, except the timetable. Work out how much time you need for each subject and write it down and stick to it.
You aren't getting enough sleep for starters.
You are 14 years old.

Chill out.
Sorry, that probably wasn't that helpful.

But do relax a bit. You are being far too hard on yourself and expecting too much.
You don't need to make all your life like this (you certainly wouldn't have had sandwiches for lunch at a 1940s boarding school).

Write yourself a timetable for the week and stick to it - that's all you need to do. 5am is much too early to get up. When I was at boarding school in the 60s, we got up at 7 a.m. - no call to do school work before you go to real school. Two hours study a night is quite enough at your age. When will you find time to spend with your family?
You could ask your parents to send you to a real boarding school. That might help.
Try reading Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, or Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens - both feature very strict schools.
Borstal may be easier for you.
I think it's admirable (seriously) that you are trying to set yourself a plan, to bring some structure to your study - but that's all you need, a schedule for each evening's study for a couple of hours, and stick to it.

Ducky my luuurve - you are clearly trying to cut corners
so go for the skool in Jane Eyre - its only Chap 1. and based on fact -
Dr Carus Wilson's academy I think

also Ducky - you type at the speed of light - I note you joined AB at 6 59
and hey presto you posted a long post at 7:01 - and dont worry D - I am sure you will grow up into an adult soon ....
St. Trinians rings a bell Jolly good school, wot?
why do young people start there questions with "So", these days? "So" what?
^their questions
Personally I wouldnt bother. I went to a strict boarding school and I spent my entire school career trying to break every rule going.
I used to love reading Jennings. I must try one again. See if you can find a copy
The Angela Brazil books were all about girls at boarding school.
I must prefer "forsooth": It must reflect my schooling I supposeth.
I found Richmal Crompton (just william ) much funnier as an adult
than I did as an eight-y-old.

Perhaps D will find that as well
DTC

is there a book on a gelz Borstal ?

Something like the 'Loneliness of the Long Distanace Runneress'

damn I have just given a lead-in for zillions of Madchen in Uniform comments.....
