2017/2018 Road to A*A*A*A and Durham pls

Oh wow Do you know what subjects they did? I'm scared maths will be like one of those exceptions where they just don't take anyone because it's a popular course ><

One took Law and the other I can't remember. Durham Maths is competitive though so I'd still hedge my bets on getting the grades.

Bowie's 2 year death anniversary occurred on Wednesday.

TSR crashes on me all the time, you say you won't use the reply box again, but you will.

Love the last line.

And that picture is AMAZING. Seriously one of the best images I've seen in a GYG blog so far this year.

Bullet journals are amazing well done on getting some stuff done! I have an essay I need to write on the rite of spring (among other stuff), do it for me please but yeah, well done and good luck for mocks!

Ooh bullet journal!! I tried to set up one, march last year and I kept at it for about 6 months but recently, it's just been pretty dead..
your poster's so prettyyyyy

What in the world! Jealous that my posters aren’t that pretty
Honestly it looks amazing nice one!

Sooo jealous of your pretty poster x
Love watching AmandaRachLee - her bullet journal ideas are goalsss
Good on you for starting some work

Ahhh yes they are! I always spend ages just admiring everyone's bullet journal on instagram and I'm like 'I want one of those!' so I finally did the deed And ahhhh after writing the essay last night it seems I really need all the essay practice I can get so I should take you up on that (but I won't because any essay is hard) Eee thank you I'll need it I hope uni is going well for you and it's not too stressful! (Although I don't think it's possible for uni to not be )



Yeah whenever I start something like a diary, it works for a couple of months and then I slowly abandon it, even if I tell myself that this time is going to be different I hope I manage to keep this one up though because I actually feel mentally more organised You should come back to the bullet journalling life and bullet journal with meeeee!

Thank youuuu but I think it took way longer than it should have



Whaaat how can you say that your posters are stunning! Those pastel stabilo highlighters make them look so nice too, I really need to get my hands on those (but I have too much stationery already) Thank you though



Eee thank you! <3 I wouldn't be too jealous though because it took a ridiculous amount of time - it probably wasn't even worth it because I absorbed nothing!

And omgggg I love her!!! All her spreads are so aesthetically pleasing I'm always like PLEASE JUST DO MY BULLET JOURNAL FOR ME I'LL PAY YOU because they're just stunning ahh I also love Caitlin's Corner because she has just the right balance of helpful practical ideas and aesthetic

So I just wrote this huge post (it took a decent half an hour to write) summarising my weekend but Google Chrome had to crash on me whilst I was writing my last sentence so that whole post is now gone forever. Yay. That will teach me to never write my posts directly onto the TSR quick reply box ever again!

Putting that aside, the reason why I haven't been posting daily is because I just haven't been doing that much work worth writing about. It's mainly been a few exercises here and there, and it's bad because mocks are in a week! But I think it's been mainly due to fatigue, and being stuck in a loop of going to bed at 3am in the morning, waking up tired, not being productive during the day, so having to stay up to do work at night, and so on… So I haven't been performing the greatest/most efficient during lessons!

Yesterday, I met up with some friends from my old school, where we all had a good old kids meal at Pizza Express (perfect portion size if you've just had breakfast but you're also a little peckish still and you want to get lunch out of the way), so I had some signature Pizza Express dough balls, chicken pizza and a cute little sundae. As if that wasn't enough, I managed to snag a free hot chocolate from Hotel Chocolat, (yes I had a hot chocolate right after an scoop of ice cream don't judge me I like to eat when I'm stressed) which was so good! We then wondered around shopping and I didn't buy anything special (although I did manage to spend ages trying to decide what to get, then only realising that I didn't actually need it so had to put it back), and it wasn't until 4:30pm I got home.

At this point I really wasn't in the mood to work and I was so tired that I just took a nap until dinner. On a more exciting note, I started a bullet journal, so after dinner, I spent the rest of the evening watching bullet journal inspiration videos and planning what I was going to do on Sunday (today) and for the rest of the week. Of course I have so many tasks that I wanted to get done before mocks but don't have enough time for, so I'm hoping that I can either get it done during mocks (highly unlikely) or will just have to save it until after.

Today I woke up at 11am (usual time) which is 2 hours later than I had planned on getting up, since I originally intended to catch up on some of the tasks I missed from yesterday. However this meant that I was 2 hours worth of tasks behind already! I forced myself to do some D1 Critical Path Analysis homework we had been set, which took less time that I thought, but writing 'Dummy' a lot made me start to think that this homework had been designed to mock me of my stupidity/disorganisation/laziness/procrastination/unwillingness to get up early!

I then had lunch and got a bit distracted by more YouTube videos, so I ended up abandoning the work I had planned to do and sorted out these set of drawers in my bedroom, which held all my art supplies which I never use now because I don't do Art A Level anymore. So I put all the art supplies in a box under my bed, leaving me now with a set of drawers I can put things in!

After dinner I forced myself to start on an A3 poster on Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring' which I had been putting off doing (not only for the whole day but literally since September), but I kept getting distracted and it was pretty hopeless. I decided to take a break and wash my hair so that I'd come back feeling refreshed, but I went downstairs to make a cheese toastie after that too. By the time that was all done it was 10pm, so I just ploughed on with it and finished finally! Here's a photo of the result (and the time I finished it at… o.o)



The most important task I still must complete today is a music essay on David Bowie that we got set for homework that's due in on Tuesday, but I don't have time to do it tomorrow… So I'm gonna finish this post now (may I repeat, for the second time -_-) and then go straight to sleep afterwards! Technically it should only take me 20 minutes since it's only 20 marks, but let's be honest, it's going to take me way longer than that!

If you made it this far, thanks for reading!

Things that look pretty are worth it to me Xxx

Woooooooow that poster! it's beautiful! Hope it helps you to remember things as well as just looking nice

Ahhh yes they are! I always spend ages just admiring everyone's bullet journal on instagram and I'm like 'I want one of those!' so I finally did the deed And ahhhh after writing the essay last night it seems I really need all the essay practice I can get so I should take you up on that (but I won't because any essay is hard) Eee thank you I'll need it I hope uni is going well for you and it's not too stressful! (Although I don't think it's possible for uni to not be )

I've not written a non-sciencey essay since GCSE and was crap at it then- five and a half years ago for me too sciences ones I've done two of. Help meeee but thank you, it's not too bad now I've finished exams. Just grrr stupid essay

Heyy, just wondered how you’re coping with the FM in a year? I suddenly feel like I’ve got soo much work and think the stress is beginning to set in 😂

Completely agree with you on the complex numbers 😬😬Also HATING M2, I think I get it and then I’ll do a past paper and realise I have no clue what I’m doing 😂 Feeling good about S1 as we’ve had mocks on it so I’ve had a chance to properly revise it, and hoping S2 won’t be too bad (haven’t started it yet). I definitely prefer pure too, I’m hoping C3/4 will be fine with some revision 😂Hate Decision, it’s just soo long! What’s FP3 like? My school doesn’t do it hahaYea, it’s nice to have somebody who can relate! Hopefully once it gets closer to exams we’ll both be more confident about everything though!

Yesss like FP1 complex numbers were manageable, but the FP2 ones with all the loci and transformations are just like 'what is happening to the world' 😱 I really like M2 but it is sooo difficult to get the answer right and it does take longer for me to grasp the concept compared to statistics :/ S2 is so much nicer compared to S1 in my opinion (a lot more proper maths kind of) so you have something to look forward to And ewww D1 has to be the worst module on the planet - every lesson I find myself falling asleep because drawing and writing everything out is so tedious, I'm so lazy and and there's literally no maths and augh it's the worst! And yes I'm also hoping that C3 and C4 will improve with revision 😂

FP3 is so cool and nice! It's got quite a few stuff on hyperbolas, extends on calculus a bit more (love calculus even if I'm not that great at it all the time 😂), a bit on vectors (hate vectors but I'm surviving), matrices (terrified of that chapter but excited at the same time, no idea how) Maybe I just like it because it's a nice pure maths break from all the applied lessons we have 😂

Really hope so!
