A-level Maths is only A-level Maths when you have a ton of work to do after every lesson. :sad:

the work never seems to end :sadnod:

hi guys, hope you're all doing fab :smile:

the workload's been steadily increasing and the neverending pile of hw i seem to have makes me wish i could go back to gcses where i could doss a little and still pass :frown:

anyway, i didn't do as much work as i'd like this weekend because my family insisted on having a bbq on saturday :grumble:

on friday i got a call back from one of the places i applied for a job for :biggrin:

they told me that they'd call back saturday morning so i hanged around my mobile phone for most of the morning and answered the phone when they called. basically had a 20 minute interview on the phone which didn't go as good as it could've been had i prepared :redface:

why i didn't bother prepping, i don't bloody know. i was shaky even though i was on the phone and answered the questions the best i could; thankfully the lady was really nice about it.
and then she left the phone for a min after the questions and came back and said i'm invited to recruitment day :woo:

so next week after school on the 26th september i'm gonna have to go straight to the place and go through the recruitment process; it looks like i'll be doing a lot of stuff but hopefully something'll good come out of it :dontknow:

even if i don't get the job, i'd have learnt lots i guess.

and then sunday was a bit up and down due to a horrific moment with my rabbit which i'd rather not go into detail (it still makes me upset to talk about it) but she's ok now thankfully.

i did do some homework over the weekend too, mainly maths and it's kinda making me very frustrated as i'm spending ages over some of the questions eg. i could spend an hour on one question agh and still not get the right answer. definitely need more practice, hopefully will see some progress over time as i just feel like i'm getting nowhere.

today i had english lit and psychology.
english lit, we looked at a typical fairytale structure and saw how a tragedy could've fitted into said mould eg. we looked at hamlet today (though it's not a text we're studying) and had to identify the different figures that you could find in fairytales. it was quite interesting as we're encouraged to think about tragedy in a different way. class has become noticeably smaller again; i think 6/7 people must've dropped lit now.

psychology we looked at some case studies related to infants and attachment and the first teacher taught us this neat method to help us memorise the key info :yep:

defo useful!
then with the other teacher we did some more stuff on memory- more on long term and encoding today; answered a few textbook questions at the end.

i came back home, showered, had dinner (tuna pasta bake) and then started with homework around 6. mainly maths again as i wanted to start on another sheet given by the other teacher on indices. managed to do all questions on said sheet bar one so i'm gonna ask her about it when i have her next time.

did some psychology work also; read through a case study and compiled it into a revision page. very interesting case study :yep:

favourite actor/actress, if you have one?

Listening to: Man's not Hot - Big Shaq (just kidding :lol:

)

(Manu)vering? More like smashing Year 12 ^-^.

Congratulations on your interview, make sure that you show curiosity to learn and go with an open mind and you'll do fine.

I'm sorry about your rabbit (they're cute animals :v), I've had a few bad moments with my cat so I know the pain :hugs:

I recommend that you look at easy examples and then slowly progress into hard ones. Look at example exercises so you get the hang of it.

The English Literature pupils got traumatised :rofl:

Good effort with the independent studying, I recommend that you find some extension work (if you really want a huge challenge I recommend Brilliant, it's available on App Store and Play Store. (Or I can give you a stupidly hard question that my Maths teacher gave me on indices :facepalm:

)

Keep up with the good work! I enjoy reading these threads ^-^

Favourite actor? I don't really have one. I like Tony Stark character in Marvel Movies and I really enjoyed the movie To All The Boys I've Loved Before on Netflix, it was quite good.

Anyways, enough with this waffling :lol:

Big Shaq is a loving father... :rofl:

Hopefully they won't, but if they do you have a room to relax, it's called The Student Room x)

Pets in pain = Horrible :sadnod:

Soon you'll be able to do some quick maffs :smile:

It's sad to see these actors leaving, Robert was the reason that I liked Marvel... rip :mad:

But tbh I think that Marvel will extend it, they better do.

I know! The movie was too cute :v

Last time I saw Hamlet one of the actors was completely drunk. :mmm:

Well done on that interview. :yay:

As for homework, if you physically can't get it done: don't do it all.

Well done for getting onto the recruitment session :rave:
