Entry no.2Bonjour!
So apart from becoming incredibly ill (yay diseases
) I've done some work
but not a lot lol
I had my ICL interview which was really hard
I don't think it was too great, I'll know in 2 weeks time of my rejection
I had a chat with my form Tutor about how College is going so far.
My report is as follows:
EPQ - 1A
Chemistry - 2B
Physics - 2B
Maths - 2B
the number is the "effort" grade. Highest/best is 1 and lowest is 5.
Comparing them to my grades this time last year, there is an improvement!
(Last year I had a nervous breakdown
mainly because of physics - but I picked myself up
)
I discussed with my Tutor. Main issues are that I seem to fall short of my target grade on topic tests - at the moment it is mostly a time thing (I've had interviews around the time of the test) and catching up from missed lessons
Action plan is to focus on these topics and to do some timed questions/papers
Also I have my interview at Birmingham University on Wednesday so Anyway onwards!
Physics-Mainly catchup - I missed a double lesson on Electrical fields
and I have a test on Thursday
-Today I'll be watching a few videos and using the textbook to tackle some questions - I am thinking of going to a workshop next week to clarify some stuff I don't understand
-I had an INSET day on Friday and so instead of tutoring my Tutee, over Facebook and email, I helped explain interference patterns and the double slit formula w= lamda D/s
-Then I did a few questions myself - THIS WEEK I shall be focussing on Electricity! (one of my weaker AS topics
)
Chemistry-I've done lots of work this week on AS/A2 synthetic routes! Also reading
-Made 2 handmade mindmaps of the mechanisms/reactions I need to learn! I will be Computerising them soon
-Today/this week I will be focussing on learning those routes - particuarly those involved with Nitriles and phenol/benzene and doing some questions on them
Maths- C3 past papers really
I need to revise integration and differentiation - maybe make a quizlet.
-Learnt my trig identities though
that's nice
-Got some homework and managed to catch up with C4 yesterday, will try some questions and am good to go !
EPQ -Not a lot with this! Just reading and editing from the first draft feedback! Also filling out my mid-term review page thing! Will get my Dad/friends to have a read for some suggestions but it's not first on my list yet
Other stuff:-I evolved a
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
-Orchestra was bant lololol - so my section hadn't practised the hard part of the Nutracker, so my conductor made everyone do solos
Learnt their lessons amirite
-Really excited for next week! Going to watch some French films recommended by
@iEthan, thanks!
Random meme - how can I forget?
It's been a hell of a week but I'm trying to stay positive and am looking forward to the journey to Birmingham (don't ask why but I love long journeys (5 hours lol))
Hope you aren't as ill as me
