Current Year 13 thread Mark I (2014-2015)

First week of the holidays has been wasted, I really need to do some past papers next week.

True! Virtually the only thing I've done this holiday so far is watch Code Geass. Pretty sure I've forgotten all my maths.

Can't blame you, it's a great show. I've wasted another day today though, I really should start tomorrow.

tsktsk

Errrr biology

Interestingly enough, the chemistry I was just doing was about amino acids .

These days I have a similar reaction to chemistry as the above one to biology. Amino acids aren't too bad though, all we have to do is join them up as a polymer I think.

Yea, define zwitter ion and draw how it changes in alkaline or acidic conditions.

Oh yeah fairly simple stuff. My attendance is like 80% lol, I've missed a lot of lessons for chem especially but I cba to go over it. I'll get around to it eventually but I'm actually finding unit 4 (organic) quite hard at the moment.

I have insomnia due to medication and it's making me so tired that I can't even study for my exams which start on the 13th May. I'm gonna fail.

Maybe try to study at night when you can't sleep? Switch up your timetable maybe

I've had problems with sleep and I think, even just closing your eyes and relaxing is rest enough.

So do that when you're feeling tired, trying not to think too much.

Also, if you want to revise, maybe just close your eyes and go through the syllabus in your head, seeing if you can remember the content. Or if languages, think in that language and when you don't know a word, remember to look it up asap.

Can't you take sleeping pills? Might be worth talking to your GP about the possibility and confirm there won't be any bad drug interactions. It's not uncommon to take multiple meds to combat unwelcome side effects.

I have to learn off essay plans and scholars, and it's pretty horrible. But thanks.

I have a review about my medication on Thursday and I will ask about that. But there might be a chance that it could have a negative effect. It's all just so frustrating because I'm usually prepared by now for my exams, and I'm predicted AAA and I'll be really upset if I don't get that because I'm a perfectionist when it comes to school.

Perhaps have them recorded and just listen to it when you have your eyes closed?

Exercise to tire yourself out and meditation to help with any anxiety might help.

You have my sympathies.
