This weekend has so far not been very productive regarding schoolwork, but I think being out of the house from 6 am to 9 pm yesterday is a pretty good reason why.
I visited the University of Leeds yesterday. I went by myself, which was kind of awkward at times when I was looking round. Any time I wasn't reading something or listening to a talk, I didn't really know what to do. I did a bit of maths on the train there and did a bit of work on my personal statement on the way back. I liked the university and I think I'm going to apply there to do MSci, BSc Computer Science with Mathematics. Entry requirements are AAA, and I think this might be the course with the lowest entry requirements that I apply for. I wanted to ask if they'd offer or accept A*AB instead of AAA, because I already have an A* in maths, but I didn't want to start a conversation with anyone to ask, so I didn't. I also went to a talk about maths degrees, where the speaker gave some weird advice about personal statements that I'm going to ignore because it contradicts all the other advice I've ever heard.
Today I think I'm going to revise FP1 because I have a test on Tuesday (which will probably be used in deciding my predicted grade), then maybe some revision for CS because I have a test on Wednesday in that. And for Spanish I'll start reading the article thing my teacher gave us, which is an analysis of the first part of the book we're reading. Obviously there isn't much of today left (I didn't get up until a couple of hours ago as I was so so tired) so I don't expect to get all of this done, but I'll have a go.
I'm looking forward to a normal week next week - this week I was busy after school every day (two days for birthday celebrations, one day for getting a passport, one when I just got home really late) and had an open day at the weekend, but next week I don't have any plans for after school or the weekend meaning I can spend more time on school work. I really need to start going to bed on time because I was so tired last week!
I thought I'd talk about my timetable a bit too. I can't remember if I've talked about it before here, but I think it is a fairly good timetable. There are two times that I have double free periods, which is useful for really getting some work done - with one free I spend at least 15 minutes at the start getting food from the cafe or deciding what to do or finding another reason not to work. I also have more free periods with people I didn't have many frees with last year (mainly because they dropped subjects) which is cool. I do have one full day which is kind of annoying, but it's from having three maths lessons so I think I'm okay with it. There are four days that I have a free last period, meaning I'll be able to go home, and I'm happy about that. I also have all my computer science lessons with one teacher, another thing I'm happy about.
I'm going to go and do some FP1 now!
