The Pursuit of Greater Knowledge

SATURDAY 02/03/24

GREETINGS MY FRIENDS,

I am a GCSE student and one that is STRUGGLING as I embark on the sisyphean task of aiming for top grades whilst not having the skillset to do so (tis the life I guess).

Humanities subjects are, for lack of a better word, my *****, but stem? Not so much!!

SUBJECTS and what my ORACLES are on the grades:

Maths: 6
English Lit: 8
English Lang: 8
Chemistry: 6
Physics: 6
Biology: 6
French: 7
Business: 6
History: 8
Art: 8
RE: 8

(I am also starting this blog thingy as a form of procrastination instead of actually revising for the upcoming maths mock -- eep! But surely this is for the greater good!)

So everyone, here is your daily dose of SCHADENFREUDE as you watch me suffer for some numbers on a piece of paper! Now I arm myself with hoards caffeine and an arsenal of stationary for the perilous journey ahead.

60 something days til the dreaded GCSE'S arrive as they slowly march towards me, much like Birnham Wood. Pray that I do survive this.

hey!! goodluck with your gcses coming up and have fun (if you can lmao) w your studiess
SAT 02/03/24



WELCOME READERS

I have core mocks next week (Monday) which involve only Maths and English. I won't have to do any others since I got 5s and above in my last mocks, yet ideally, I would like to boost those grades up to a 7. However there are more pressing matters at hand, such as actually passing the maths papers with an acceptable grade.

Anyways, I SORT OF MAYBE ACCIDENTALLY DIDN'T DO ANY REVISION TODAY (Did like an hour on surds but I could do better tbh) but I need to cram since I'm doing higher papers for everything.

Though, to be fair, I did have school today. Yes I have to go into school for three hours each day which is a cruel and unusual punishment, but any who...

I completed two 30 marker English essays on Macbeth and handed them into my teacher (who is literally the best lady ever) and she marked my first one 29/30!! The other one was during her break time so she didn't really go through the work of marking it all (and who can blame her!) but I am very solidly in 9s which makes me extremely happy.

In art, I did a study page on into the spider-verse and the anatomy is anatomying icl!! I can't wait to colour it in, will be so fun! I'm up to date on coursework but I have to redo my year 11 mock cuz whilst it was technically good, the symoblism wasn't there and I wasn't satisfied with it (I only have to do another A4 painting to complete my triptych and it's all good cuz I can bang it out in under two hours)

Bio was dead (irnonic as it's the study of living things lol) but overall, I was fine.

Will try to get more maths revision underway!

Honestly, I HAVEN'T A CLUE. But I had an assembly yesterday (we literally have a whole lesson dedicated to revision) and the teacher had a countdown until our first GCSE's and it said 84 days. I thought it was way less too tbh. It's all coming on really fast argh!! But yeah, hopefully I can make the best of it! xx

OO and about the matching speech style, I thought it would be a fun exercise to practice vocabulary for English! Plus I LOVE READING so like, I get to use some archaic ass phrases for no reason other than them sounding funny (did you know Shakespeare made a your Mum joke - I think a character says "Villain I have done thy Mother"

or saying stuff like, I HATED REVISION SM I "wept a little weep" (Jo from little women says that)
I'm definitely not as eloquent as @halfharry tho, too ******* lazy HALFJSDLFJLFK

GETTING BACK TO REVISION BYEE!!
