Hellllllooooo! Lolz I just randomly decided to make one (rather inspired from yours) - let‘s see how long I can keep it going 
Of course I’ll tag you and thank you so much!
I feel the same way for English as well - I used to love it in Years 7 and 8 (mainly coz of creative writing
) but GCSEs kinda stopped that. Anyway, I’m starting to enjoy it more now!!
Year 11 has been just piles and piles of tests and exams which is a shock from Year 10
Hopefully we‘ll get used to it…
Thank you! I swear I plan to revise slowly and over a long period time but I ALWAYS end up resorting to last minute cramming. I’ll try my best though

omg i love that
glad i was a source of inspiration lolz! and ofc you'll be able to keep it up! I'm rooting for you and here to cheer you on! <3I'm trying to get back into creative writing, poetry and english in general also! like you, I used to be really passionate about it, but GCSE is a completely different thing fro, what I used to love haha.
and yes!!! i have gotten so. many. tests. it's inhumane. but hopefully we do get used to it
AND SAME! i told myself i'd start revision at the beginning of this year so it's little and often, rather than cramming, but I didn't end up doing so, and will likely end up cramming for mocks lol. I'm tried not to jinx myself, as I will try my best to ensure that's not the case!

Thank you so much!
IKR! What texts are you doing for Eng Lit, if you don’t mind me asking? We’re doing An Inspector Calls, A Christmas Carol and Romeo & Juliet
IT’S SO ANNOYING. I have 2 tests tomorrow and another on Friday and I can’t find the motivation and energy to revise oml. I can’t wait for half term, even if that means I have to revise.
Our teachers keep telling us that if exams get cancelled, these mocks will probably go towards our grade or something so maybe that will somewhat motivate me to start revising early!
Post #4 | 2 weeks since I’ve updated, 5 weeks till my mocks
Oh god. It’s really getting serious now. So much work, too much work.
I’m trying to create some sort of revision timetable on Google Calendar. It’s a bit fractured at the moment, but I’m getting there. Timetables have never really worked for me before; I find it hard to adhere to strict timings and goals. I need to be in the mood for a certain subject, you know? Sometimes I’ll be in the organic chemistry mood, other times I’ll feel like doing some algebra. A timetable kinda ruins that. Besides, it’s hard to predict exactly what homework you have and what you’ll do in the evening. But I know I need to be more organised and spread all my revision out evenly so we’ll see how this goes.
According to my timetable right now, I’m supposed to be doing English Language, yet here I am on TSR. Might tweak it a bit
I was sick with a cold throughout the whole of half term so I didn’t do much revision, only compulsory homework. There’s literally no time for doing the things I love in the evenings - I should probably allocate some time for that in my fancy schmancy timetable. Back to school, meh it’s okay. Very busy, very quick. I feel like mocks will be here in no time.
Anyway, gonna go revise now. Better to stick to my revision timetable, eh? Until my next update…

I’d highly recommend it - it’s so funny and one of my favourites
Draining is the perfect word for it. I’m just trying to get through it by telling myself that I have one less written exam haha
Lol that’s me every evening!

hello! <333 sorry I'm arriving so late, but good luck with making the timetable or if you've already made the timetable, sticking to it! I wanted to make a revision timetable, but didn't for all the reasons you mentioned - who knows what homework I'll get that day? what if I'm not in the mood to make an Eva Smith chronology or cell transport mind map? what if something comes up? What if some revision runs over its time slot and I absolutely lose my mind over it?
it also just takes time to think about how I'm going to organise the timetable (I'm an overthinker, so trying to make the perfect timetable would drive me mad lmao. "But why should I revise chemistry over physics on Tuesdays? You struggle more with physics, so give more time to that... but you still need to study chemistry- " You get the drill lol) and making the timetable itself is a chore.
I do hope you're having a generally more positive experience than what I think I would with the timetable though
And lucky you! You've got 3 (?) more weeks till mocks! Mine start on Monday </3 Wishing you luck (though I'll do this closer to the time also) and that you feel productive and prepared for your exams!

Yeah that timetable kinda failed
I guess I was right - it’s probably just not for me. I’m also a massive overthinker plus I don’t work too well with restraints like that. Idk man - I think I should at least roughly plan how much I should be doing per day.Wishing you lots of luck too - you’re going to smash these! Thank you
youre in the same year as me??! WHAAAAAAAAAA-
