The Decider: Destination DURHAM???

Only come to Durham if you can handle the cold. It snowed here today.

this thread is always such a refreshing read keep doing what you are doing lovely

Hi
Can I be tagged pretty please

Update for 16/01/2018 - Mathematical Mayhem...

Hey! Apologies for not updating yesterday, lost track of time a little bit and then got really tired in the evening so couldn't bring myself to do it I'll get right into it though

Monday 15th January
Further Maths: We carried on with what we'd been doing about transforming differential equations, this time applying it to First Order ones (which I find a lot harder than 2nd Order) and at first it was extremely confusing but I thiiiiiink I got there in the end. It wasn't a bad lesson really, I'm just never usually my best first thing on a Monday morning

Free: Went to Asda and bought a chicken pesto pasta salad (because health) and as I was trying to open the sachet of pesto it EXPLODED ALL OVER ME so I was covered in pesto I had to dash to the nearest toilets and spent 10 minutes cleaning myself up but I managed to get it off pretty well, my shirt was only slightly tinged green Other than that I ate the salad and chatted to the other person who was up on the balcony with me, I was just trying to pass the time really

Study period: This is the most unproductive study on my timetable - I can never ever ever be bothered in it There were 4 of us in this study - 2 Y12s and 2 Y13s, and we all just talked about absolute nonsense all lesson: from events on nights out, to teachers we like/dislike, to hair, and at the end we were genuinely discussing whether or not God watches you (a) in the shower and (b) when you're fake tanning, to which my teacher looked at us like we were absolutely bonkers. Can't say it was productive in the slightest but it wasn't bad

Maths: We didn't get our mocks back Instead we started Core 4 and did some stuff on Algebraic Fractions, which really didn't seem much more difficult than GCSE/C1 but I guess we were just being eased in gently I really couldn't be bothered in the lesson so I didn't do much, we ended up talking a fair bit about primary schools and stuff and other than that I don't remember much I need to get the work done by next Monday so we'll see

After school: I decided to start tackling my mammoth Further Maths homework on 2nd Order Differential Equations, which my teacher said took him about 3 hours to do I worked from 7pm until 8pm, had an hour out while I had a bath, then worked again from 9pm until 10pm when I called it a night. In these two hours I got 10 of 15 questions done, so I'm fairly on track for doing it all in the same time frame as my teacher. At first it was a bit of a struggle as I haven't learnt many of the rules yet so I had to keep looking back through the book to remember how to do stuff, but I got the hang of things towards the end. Hope I haven't made any big mistakes!

Tuesday 16th January
Study period 1: Stats time In this one I started the Normal Distribution chapter and made notes on the normal distribution and the standard normal distribution, it took me a short while to get my head around it but it was okay in the end. My notes were somewhat colourful, I'll take and upload a picture at a later time, and they were neat so I was happy

Free: Bought and ate lunch while talking to some friends, basically. What else do I ever do in my frees

Further Maths (double): We started our next chapter, Polar Coordinates, which seems... deceptively okay. I did make a lot of errors today but they were all relatively small things. We drew some diagrams of some Polar equations and did some questions about converting between Polar and Cartesian forms. Slightly confusing but I'll get there I hope!

Study period 2: Was supposed to do more stats work in this but got too distracted by my phone I made a couple more notes on the standard normal distribution but it was hardly anything new, and did a bit of reading, and that was about it

After school: I have a Physics test tomorrow on Magnetic Fields which I am going to absolutely BOMB . I tried to do some revision tonight, worked through about the first page of the section in the revision guide before getting bored and stopping, not picking anything up afterwards So I'm absolutely failing this test tomorrow as I know sweet nothing about Magnetic Fields bring it on tbh

Thanks to everyone for being so supportive of me really means a lot! I appreciate you guys loads and it's the kind messages that you all leave that really motivate me and keep me going, you're the best hope you've all had a good day and get some good sleep! (I'll be going to bed soon I promise )

I love pesto but not a pesto explosion! Hate 2nd order differential equations - all is fine until the solving equations by substitution comes to bite me in the brain! Good luck for your physics test! I hate fields Or to put it short, I'm just not a huge fan of all the topics you're doing at the moment loool

Good luck for your test if it hasn't already happened

I was bad and skipped it

Dw lovely Only a message away if you need me! Am free all day if you need to talk

It was nothing deep really, just didn’t (and still don’t) feel well

Sending lots of squishy TLG hugs from here! Not feeling well sucks

it really does hoping I make a full recovery overnight haha

HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!


also, hope you're no longer in pain..

Happy Birthday @Protostar !





Hope you are feeling better, and have a good day today

Oooh HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! It was mine yesterday

@Protostar Happy birthday!
I hope you have a lovely day!
