Today was my 2nd day of half term!:smile: Pretty uneventful tbh, and I had a really bad headache :frown: I managed to do some maths revision for C3 - I did questions from the textbook for the first few chapters. I did 6 25 min Pomodoro's with a 5 min break in between each one. I really need to do AS Further Maths revision as I'm self teaching but haven't done any questions for ages!:s-smilie:

And I really need to improve on chem- I'm only getting C's on tests when I need at least an A! My parents understandably weren't too happy about it :redface: I'm sure it's because I've been really lazy with chem revision and I've never done past paper questions until now. And also my teacher is a bit awful and I regret taking it! Oh well only 4 months to go!:biggrin::tongue:

And another thing I have mocks soon at the end of March! So really need to get revising for them because I'm aiming to hopefully get A/sA*s!:smile:

Not really doing much this half term, just revising and doing work really! I've decided to cut down on the amount I socialise and actually do some work :tongue:
I'm already bored of the holidays want to go back to college already!:tongue:

Hopefully my posts will get longer and more interesting when I have a bit more going on and figure out my writing style!:smile:

I did nothing yesterday as it was Valentine's Day!:tongue: I hope everybody had a great day!:smile:

Today I did chem revision, as I'm really bad and my grade is well below where it should be :frown: Part of the reason is because I didn't make proper notes last year! So today I revise AS Organic chem- when we did it last year I had no idea what was going on :redface: But thanks to Snaprevise it all makes sense now!:smile: I revised Chapter 12 and 13 of the OCR A Spec: Hydrocarbons and Alcohols and Haloalkanes. I did 7 Pomodoro's lasting 25 mins each today so 3 hours approx but I would have liked to have done more! But I got up really late at 10:30am which I won't be doing again- I usually get up at 6:45!

Tomorrow I really need to do maths revision. Over the summer, I self taught AS Further Maths but I've barely done any questions! Also need to revise all of C3 (ugh Trig) and C4 Integration :smile: And do my mountain of homework can't believe half term's nearly over!! Why is February going so quickly?:tongue:

Thought I'd attach some pictures of my revision down below. I am making my own little revision guides for every chapter in chem!

My inspirational quote for today is:
"Do more of what makes you happy"- Carmel McConnell :biggrin:

Thanks! I love how it relates to everyday life and it's all around us!:smile: And I like how it's a logical and creative subject at the same time. And ever since I took Business Studies at GCSE I fell in love with Business/Economics!:tongue: Do you want to study medicine?:smile:
