Choo choo! All aboard the S.S. Tipton Sean before it takes off.
My name is Sean, and I'm a second year Mathematical Sciences student at the University of Bath.
The story so far:

First year counts towards 0% of the degree.
Where are you now that I need you?
Spoiler
What are my goals for the next semester?.
Spoiler
How am I going to achieve those goals?

I'll decide on which day of the week I'll update this, as I have two other blogs on this site to run as well!
Best of luck to everyone else in the competition. I'll help you guys by ending this post with the definition of studying.

Wow, them A2 module marks... Good luck! Just out of curiosity, what does the Japanese unit entail? (there's a good chance what you say will go over my head, I can just about comprehend C4 haha)

Thanks!
At Bath we just work through the Genki textbooks, at the moment we're on still on book 1. We learn how to read, write, listen and speak Japanese and learn a bit about the culture. We also get an exam for each of those aspects during the semester. I'll be sure to talk about what I learn during each week!

That sounds much more interesting than my grow your grades blog haha! Sorry I thought the Japanese units were a part of your maths degree I'm looking forward to it.

Don't talk yourself down yet there's plenty of time to think of ideas and how to write it etc.
At some universities and for some subjects you can study language modules that count towards your overall grade, like some subjects here (eg Natural Sciences) you have the option of doing that from the first year. I can only study it as an optional thing until the third year, where it's possible for it to count towards my degree (if they let me, that is. ).
It'd be really difficult to study Maths in Japanese, I don't understand it sometimes when it's in English.
To be honest I am half Japanese but after doing the GCSE I'd never had a use for it so I had forgotten almost all of it, and the classes are serving as refreshers. which is why my target for it is so high!
Best of luck! You sound well clued up, and your take on studying perfectly describes my scenario every night! And as previously mentioned, your A-Level results are great, I hope that I can achieve grades in those realms
On another note, roughly what percentage would be a first? Or in other words, how did you rank with the percentage you achieved in first year from everyone doing the course?

glad to know I'm not the only one.
Thank you! I hope that with the aid of your blog you will be able to.
