Everything seems to be looking up now! Just spent a lot of this week focusing in on literature which has genuinely helped soooooooo much. I genuinely feels like this A* is within my grasp, as long as I literally do not rest for the next 2 or so months
.
Most of my work is done for the week, so the weekend will mainly be reading one of my prose texts (Suns) and doing my crime revision.
Might do a longer update before the end of the week but everything is looking good!

Aha might need a raincheck on today folks, the morning was quite productive but it literally took me 4/5 hours to get Avengers midnight screening tickets (thanks Odeon!). I tried to settle down into work but instead I've resorted to drinking a bottle of wine to myself and booking 2 holidays with my mate. Whoops!

So it's time to crack down even more! Headed to a sociology revision session this morning, finished revision today and I am going to continue on with some reading. I'm not going to type it all out so here are my goals for Easter:
Let's keep going!

Today's revision:
14:30-15-30: Families and Households (4 pages, completing the unit)
15:45-17:00: Crime and Deviance (5 pages, but super dense info!)
17:15-18:30- Reviewing literature exemplars
Then read A Thousand Splendid Suns for as long as possible afterwards!

We are just over halfway through the holiday and I feel relatively on target!
I am currently a tiny bit behind on psychology, on target for Sociology and gearing up to do reading/ a bunch of past papers for literature this week. It should be good!
There have been some issues though, I spent my entire first week missing my notes for Stratification and Differentiation (the teacher had taken them in lol). Luckily I managed to grab them at a revision session on Saturday, so it's all good now!
There is no specific time plan for today, but it's mainly just the standard goals I posted last week.
I will do a bigger update at the end of Easter but it is currently 27 days until my first AS exam! Eeek!

Welcome to the obligatory end of holiday post!
So Easter has... certainly been something. Though I managed to cover so much content, I have been avoiding essays and mock exams like the plague. Which is really not helpful when you take 3 essay subjects
. I am really not confident that I am going to make it at this rate. Like getting from (what I found out to be) a B to an A* in literature is just... a lot.
All I can do is lock myself in my room for 3 weeks and enslave my poor English teacher to give me exam advice nigh on every day
At least there is some good news though...
I don't know if I mentioned it, but I am on track with my sociology and got an A in my last mock. Super proud of that
I also finished reading one of my novels for my prose exam- just need to read Wuthering Heights. Luckily the exam isn't until after May half term so I have bags of time for that one
I guess I am just worried that I am getting complacent, like deep down I know I am not doing enough but it doesn't stop me from being a total slob at times. At least my body clock is going to be more regular after Easter, which should really help
I am probably really going to crack down on essays for the next couple of weeks and get as much done as possible. Getting cognitive psychology covered and literature essays done is going to be my top priority. I just hope I can still salvage the grades I need. If not, this is my road to York

Sure! And English Lit can be really hard to move up in but I know you can do it. Keep up the hard work
