aahhh lol that made me feel better cuz I thought I ws the only one watching movies every night ....
You're already doing better than a lot of people in your class probably are tbh :smile:
Hats off to you for wanting to stay on top though. At this stage in the year (not sure what you're studying towards but generally) you won't have too much to get through hopefully - if having another look over your notes just to check you understand everything puts your mind more at rest, every little helps. And you have done some revision, which is definitely better than nothing.
Nothing wrong with being busy, you can't help your circumstances. And you're only 2 months in - you've still got the rest of the year yet to work on it. If you're really worried and have the time to spare just schedule in an extra hour or two at the weekends to make up for lost time. Remember to give yourself a break though, I can't emphasise this enough.

Don't sweat it, you're doing great :smile:

omgg i was just reflecting on how crappily i've thrown my half-term but hey i'm not alone! :biggrin:

i feel like by now i should have covered all of the A2 content haha and i've got mocks in November that i need As in -_- ughhhhhhhhhhh

just the vast amount of homework i have has made me not want to touch anything and just sleep

but i have to do it because my teachers will literally bring the death penalty back if i don't

I find that the only way to shake off the guilt is to revise. Forget about the days you have missed and start now because it can only get better if you do. Also, you'll feel good after doing some which will hopefully motivate you to carry on.

not applying this year - wanted to apply to pharmacy but predicted BBB so can't apply to where i want to go! what about you?

yupp OCR bio, OCR B chem, OCR computing

nope not yet - unless you count the exam questions packs we get for homework then yes
Lol I tried to do work I really did. But I got sick again. I mean I was sick before and I recovered then relapsed on Sunday and then almost recovered again before by older bro came home from uni one random day with a 'present' and made me sick AGAIN! So yeah, I got NOTHING done TT.TT what a waste!
Yeah my work has really lacked this half term, should've got way more done...

I've spent too much time out, in bed, on TSR or simply procrastinating :frown: - but I guess I need a rest otherwise I'll die during next term and my work when it really matters won't be up to scratch, and come mocks I probably wouldn't revise AT ALL.
Sharp Efficient Revision > Long-winded Revision...

lool ur school actually makes effort .... I wanted to apply for pharmacy I am predicted AAB but I didn't cuz when I went to work experience during the summer holidays it was sh*t and boaring so then I thought I am gonna do radiography. cuz I like fancy machine and it involves all three sciences ....
