Dear Readers,
So I know that it has been a long long LONG time since I have posted. Oops. I have been a little busy! Last week I attended an assistant instructor course so now I can actually get paid for what I do which is brilliant! Okay, moving on to revision...
So I have done:
An hour of English Literature (reading Kindertransport and making notes)
An hour and a half of Chemistry unit one (of which I was one off an A* on a past paper
)
An hour of Food and Nutrition
An hour of Critical Thinking
Three hours of Maths
Five hours of Geography (I seem to be really enjoying this which is good because I'm doing it next year!)
And I am currently on a break from Child Development revision. I'm doing a past paper and I'm really hoping to get an A* because although my coursework would bring me up, I really want to secure that grade!
Side note: My Geography and Critical Thinking exams clash. Noooooooooooooooooooo! I'm having to take Geography in the morning and Critical Thinking in the afternoon.
Basically what I have been doing this Easter holidays is waking up at ten and then doing whatever revision I feel like. I should probably be pushing myself more, but my teachers don't really mind because I am already on solid As/slightly less solid A*s in everything except German. So I should really be revising German more, but hey I hate it and I only need a C to pass it (I wanted to an MFL at GCSE so that I could still potentially get into UCL).
Also, yesterday I went to an under graduate open day at Churchill College Cambridge. Although I still want to study medicine, I don't want to do it at Cambridge! Their course is a year longer than most other universities and you get pretty much no clinical experience in the first three years. Churchill was also definitely not a traditional Cambridge college, i.e. it was fairly modern, but what I did like is that they provide accommodation for the majority of the course. Another disadvantage would be that there also isn't a large, highly regarded paediatric centre nearby, unlike other unis like St. George's and UCL.
So that is just a quick update, hope everyone's on track with revision and speak soon!
Sophie
P.S. I finally got an A* in maths (I mean, it was only by two marks, but I still got it!).
