as i've
previously mentioned, this week's been pretty tough. work has certainly been turned up a notch, i'm a bit overwhelmed by it all AND the pressure is already
UNREALis anyone else feeling a bit like this at the moment?
nevertheless i'll report on my day, it's been an interesting one to say the least

analysis of chapter 2 frankenstein...
still not quite in the mood/rythym of analysing texts and i'm not really that into frankenstein yet - this should come with time!
our 'topic' question was how the chapter was foreshadowing and what the effects were? i kind of understood it but ended up going to the back of the class and flicking through endless revision guides for some help on
what on earth was happening in this chapter (don't fear! i get it now! but i got some weird looks...)
also if you're not aware im in set 2 for english and maths. my best guess is i got moved down in english because i was struggling a bit with analysis and motivation in the subject, and subsequently i went from highest in the year to averaging 7/8 which was not usual for me! as for maths, it was to be expected as i had an awful teacher last year, i struggle with maths anyway and it was better for me to be in set two, where i can still aim for an 8 with the ability of the class!H i S T O R Y
carried on with the categorisation of why england and spain went to 'war', it gave me time to catch up and also to plan my next essay which im so not ready for!! i found the mark scheme though as it is one of the sample assessment materials - so im going to make it as good as it can be (even though i have a 1 page limit!!!! ugh!)

i had my test! i don't want to jinx it but i found it quite easy! somehow i managed to retain all the content and apply it to the 500000000000 6 mark questions they stuck into the test so hopefully i did well?! only regret is that i didn't conclude my 9 mark question but that should hopefully not be an issue as i answered the question thoroughly
