I feel so dum compared to everyone else...uh why am I so bad...I am not giving up though, I am working twice as harder, I am sorry I am not active on here, but if I was I would never get any work done :redface: So I will make an update Saturday/Sunday!

Week-1 (7th-12th September 2020)

Maths: Well...lets see, we covered about most of Functions for one of my teachers and for the other one we have nearly completed Further Differentiation. Let me just say that, functions is probably one of the easiest A2 topics for maths, but I hate the wording in the questions, I always go on to over complicating the questions and therefore leading to a wrong answer...On the other hand Further Differentiation was quite "fun", yes I said it FUN, it was mainly because of how satisfying it is to complete a question, because there is usually a lot of steps involved. But other than that, I am planning on getting some practice in for both of these topics over the weekend!

Chemistry: OMG our teachers changed and idk, my new teacher is a very scary one lol, I mean shes is a good teacher though, but I got shouted at on the first lesson for her because I forgot to mention please when I asked for a new book lol. We have just recapped Acids, Bases and pH, Equilibrium and ye now we have moved onto Buffers and Neutrailisation which isn't all bad, we have only done one lesson on it though so....With my other teacher, we have started Arenes, which is a pretty chill topic if you ask me anyways.

Physics: We have a new teacher which goes through notes at the speed of light so ye thats fun, we have been doing the other half of Further Mechanics, i.e Simple Harmonic Motion and we have a PAG next week and I am already prepared for that, I watched a demonstration of the experiment on YTube and also went through the instructions. For our other teacher which thank god didn't change, we are just doing some recapping on the Nuclear Physics topic. So all in all physics wasn't too bad for a week one!

Other stuff:
1) I have to prepare this weekend for my KFC interview
2) I have to make flashcards on all of Chemistry organic - if I have more time then I will do some of the Organic Stuff too
3) Have to complete chores today and tommorow uhhhh

And this is my checklist for the weekend, sorry its really scruffy ahahaha:

Overall this week has been pretty draining, but I think thats cus I am getting back into waking up at 6:00AM to go to school. I felt pretty dumb in lessons, idk why just felt like at times I had forgotton everything I learnt, thats why I need to make these flashcards quick and keep testing myself when ever I get the chance too. Hopefully if I do get the KFC Job they will let me do just weekends, because I really don't want to do week day shifts especially when I will super drained after school...I just hope I don't slip and fall back on work and fail my a levels...I really hope I can manage everything....

If I forgot to tag anyone I am very sorry just let me know and I will put you in!
Maths - I was gonna do maths A level, but I couldn't because of timetable clashes. I did physics as a substitute, lol
Chemistry - Omg teachers can be such bullies like that! I had a scary chemistry teacher for half of year 11
Physics - Simple Harmonic Motion was the first thing I did in year 13 too

Good luck with everything :smile: Including your KFC interview :tongue:
Good luck this year & I hope you get the job! I also underperformed at GCSE and my flight path grades were kinda awful, but luckily we had online mocks at the end of last term so I was able to prove myself that way. I haven't got my UCAS predictions yet though, so who knows if it's paid off :boring:

You can do this, Dezer!! If you do get the job, it will only hold you back if you let it. It’s just another commitment, nothing more. Think positively and it will all turn out well :biggrin:

Don’t worry about feeling dumb in lessons. I felt the same. I have forgotten everything from biology already :embarrassed: and maths we ALREADY have a test to test everything in lockdown so I have lots to do too lol.

Listen you'll be fine!! I believe in you so you should too :yep: Just relax, keep breathing and remember you can do this :woo: :excited:

And the KFC interview, you'll get in, my boyfriend got in and what he did was prepare answers to questions that they are most likely to ask so you should do that too :yeah:

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND MOST IMPORTANTLY DO NOT LOSE HOPE :hand:
Good luck for your interview!! :gah:
I weirdly find differentiation fun too :giggle:
