Decided at midnight last night to make this. Only... what? 6 months late? What’s half a year anyway. :holmes:

By the way, if none of the images work, idk what to do lol. I tried and I'll sort them out later. :s-smilie:

Who am I?

Why is this GYG a thing?

Spoiler

GCSEs/A-Levels

Spoiler

Where am I planning on applying?

Spoiler

I don’t really know that much about any unis apart from Oxford tbh. One thing I definitely need to do this year is to attend open days (tho they’ll probs all be virtual). I really don’t want to apply to any London Unis since I live in London.

I hope I can actually commit to this one. I really want to try my hardest these next two years. Hopefully, my laziness doesn't get the better of me.

Goals for the year

• Improve my grades. My exams in January left me with A*A*BC I’m not sure why I struggle so much with biology, so I’ll try and focus on that. I’m aiming for an A by the end of the year. Finger crossed!

• Improve my UCAT abilities. I recently got allocated extra time in exams, so maybe that’s why I’m so terrible? Lol. Either way, a huge focus of mine will be answering questions more efficiently.

• Regularly practise BMAT. Haven’t tried any real questions yet but apparently it’s harder than UCAT so :emo:

• Read. Read. READ. It took me around 2 days to finish Do No Harm after putting it off for months. I didn’t think I was the biggest fan of reading so I’m quite surprised :gah:

I have a list of books I want to complete so that I know I definitely have a good grasp of what practising medicine entails.

• Sleep. Pretty self-explanatory. One of the things I procrastinate the worst on though.

Plan for GYG

Going to split day into three sections:

Morning
For everything I did/plan on doing before my 3rd period (at around 12)

Afternoon
For everything I did/plan on doing before school ends

Evening
For everything I did/plan on doing after school

Plans for today (03/03/2021)

• Finish When Breath Becomes Air
• Do write-up on Do No Harm
• Do Maths HW on two-tailed hypotheses tests
• Survive History (seems unlikely) :boring:

• Make Biology flashcards
• Find medical articles to read

This is quite a lot so I expect it to spill onto tomorrow.

Hey, I would also like to be tagged! Also, you did so well at gcses, do you have any revision tips? How do you manage your time in terms of revision?

Morning
I didn’t do much. I had Biology in which I desperately tried to catch up with the lesson I missed on Monday (definitely not because I chose to sleep through it or anything... :ninja:

). I should have been more productive but procrastination said “no” :’)

Afternoon
I had Chemistry, Maths and History. Luckily, my chem lesson happened to be an article-based on where we had to find a chemistry article to write a review about. I took the time to search up some written on medical topics and found a few interesting ones which I’m excited to read. They aren’t very complicated and seem more Year 7-9 level tbh, so I’ll probably have to do some more digging. :hmmmm:

Evening
I spent my time doing so much... not. I did absolutely nothing apart from Maths hw. I spent more time researching the BMAT than actually doing any practice lol.

* * *

So all in all, I found articles and did my homework. I didn’t make any flashcards nor finish the book :argh:

but I have a lot of school work which I need to prioritise at the moment.

I finish school a little later tomorrow, and I also have a medical thingy to attend for an hour. Looks like I’ll have a lot on my plate. It’d be easier if I didn’t keep procrastinating tho. :s-smilie:

To tag different users use the @ symbol and then type their username. Make sure it goes blue once you've selected the username :h:

e.g. @ItsTomii

If you leave a username between each name and type @ you can tag multiple users :yes:

Plans for today (08/03/2021)

• Get through my last lesson of online learning :boring:

• Start my History hw
• Continue reading This Is Going To Hurt
• Think about how I’m never going to actually complete my write-up on Do No Harm :emo:

I was consistent for 2 days before taking a break LOL. Nevermind that. School’s starting again so maybe it’ll give me the motivation to power through this. :beard:
