18/10/2016 - Night updateI'm the most forgetful person I know whoops...
Today I am in a very good mood! Not quite sure why but I sure ain't complaining
! I had 2 physics tests today which I honestly spent so SO long preparing for, and luckily my hard work paid off as I got 36/40 in the first one (on the easier and more interesting content) and 26/34 in the second one (on the harder and duller content)!! It made me happy to know that I'm not as bad at physics as I thought (which is amazing as I was having quite a lot of worries about how badly I would probably do) so now I'm a lot more relaxed about it
happy days
Today's further maths lesson (double) seemed to go on for EVER. We were doing some extra practice on linear programming as we were all a bit baffled by it still (tbh I still don't completely get it but it's nothing a couple of YouTube videos and practice questions can't solve) but it just dragged and dragged because it's not the most interesting topic in the world and each question takes a loooong time to answer fully. I honestly didn't know when it would end. I think my teacher saw that I was getting bored pretty quickly so he gave me last years UKMT senior team maths challenge (as I'm doing it next month, can't wait
) to have a go at. It was pretty challenging I won't lie, but I managed to get 48/60 of the marks for it so I'm reasonably happy with that! The problems are also really fun to solve, absolutely nothing like anything I've done before (apart from maybe one or two questions) but really engaging.
My physics practical write up was due in today (we got a bit of an extension because we needed to draw a graph and make some alterations) and despite all the effort i went to doing it last week I went and LOST IT so had to rewrite everything up again last night which was such a pain. It didn't take quite as long as the first time as I'd actually done the experiment then so it was more accurate and realistic, so in the end I didn't mind so much. It was just a bit inconvenient as it ate into quite a lot of my revision time. Hey ho, I got it done
.
Also I just realised it's 3 months until my birthday, yayyy!!
Night everyone x
