y13 - growing my grades , jack and the beanstalk ver

Hey guys, just did mocks and I AM COOKED FOR CHEM.
(For reference, I am a Y13 bio chem psych student. and do not think i will meet my offer for med if I don't fix up ;-; )

except I made this to change that. My other two subjects are okay but recently I got an unspeakable score for chem (whoops)
chronic procrastinator but I WILL CHANGE THAT

I can't let all my hard work into getting an offer go to waste. I will report daily on my plans and whether I met them. If I do not assume, I was hit my car or sm idk.

Things I've done to help so far:']
-Deleted all socials (everything but snap, reddit and pinterest)
-Downloaded opal (some app that blocks all your apps and gives you backhanded messages when you try to open them)
-Downloaded flora.
-Chuck my phone in a random corner of my room when studying
-Made an easter hols time table and to do list
-Leaving my house to study on the weekend at least once
-made an assignment tracker on google sheets
-stuck my actual alevel exam timetable on my wall for added fear :giggle:

2)despite the first point ive got a few piercings which i love and more I want
3) book fanatic (although since alevels ive not kept to my title)
4) i love mugs (idk theyre amazing, I can't stop buying every cool one I see)
5) in the summer, I'd like to learn how to drive, get back to working, pick up an instrument and a language. AND FINALLY LEARN HOW TO ROLLER SKATE
6) lando norris > you
7) september> any other month
Hiya omds I do the exact same subjects as you and am also an aspiring yr 12 med student.
