Day 2 - Wednesday 23rd November 2016: An update
Zero to Hero - Ariana Grande
Apologies for everyone for it having been so long, therefore tonight's post will be simply an update about the situation rather than an in depth sight into my revision of the day or week.
In the past two weeks, as well as dealing with the usual stress that us youngsters deal with these days, I've had two interviews, one today for Writtle University's Veterinary Physiotherapy and one last Wednesday for Nottingham's Veterinary Medicine. For reasons I'm sure you can understand I cannot give any specifics about the Nottingham Interview process but if you have an questions then I will answer them as best I can.
The interviews were difficult, the Nottingham one more so than Writtle, but I felt we were put through two very different experiences which would be why I found the Nottingham interview such a difficult experience.
The exam I've had over the fortnight was for Biology, which was a week ago on Tuesday and I was thrilled with the result. It meant a lot to me because following the devastatingly low AS results I received, my mental health deteriorated so in a following interim exam, I only achieved a D grade. But in this exam, which was on the hormones, neuronal communication and respiration modules - I achieved a B! And was second in my class by only one mark, so considering across the year group only one person got an A, I was really pleased.
Most of my revision for this exam considered of diagrams drawn but the labels consisted of "trigger" words, so as an example, if I saw the word actylcholine, I would be thinking: neurotransmitter, synapse, sodium ions, action potentials, nerves.
Hope to post soon and hear from people if you have an questions about my interview experiences or university opinions! =)
