lmao what productivity? idk her you’ve been super productive though! and you’re going to uni hehe kudos to you

I'd like to say that I can agree with this, but I don't think I've been as productive as I could be. As of today, I've started an hour by hour study planner that I made in a word doc. Hopefully that helps lol. Seemed to be good motivation for today! We got this lol. We will know we are successful when we can both say "yeh mate, I am productive" lol

i’m dying over here.

i know i said i’d update weekly, but i’ve decided to split the week into two posts. it’s only tuesday and i already want to crawl into a hole and d word

a day-by-day summary of so far (i feel like this would be more suitable for now lmao):

sunday:

this week so far has been exhausting. on sunday i stayed up until midnight, writing up bio notes for the two lessons we had that day — double bio on a sunday is a curse. there’s so much content to go over, i’d been going at it since 2pm... and that’s with online school. with actual school i’m always so exhausted and end up sleeping until 6pm,,, let’s just hope school stays online for a lil longer.

we also had double math which was exhausting and chem which was also tiring and so all in all i need to sleep for like a month straight.

oh yes i forgot... we also had a math quiz ahaH wonderful.

monday:

so yesterday i finished up my bio notes for the lesson we had that day which thankfully didn’t take up too much time. we have a chemistry test on tuesday next week i think (?) so i was planning to start on my chem notes but i was so tired and still had homework so i decided to just do my homework and call it a day — that way i won’t burn out by next week. i’d spent the entire day making notes for TWO LESSONS () on sunday so i needed to take a step back. ik i sound lazy but my mental health is **** so i burn out way too quickly i really hate my brain and everything about it.

i’ve literally been devoting most of my time to biology notes, not even studying i’m done here bye

and chem has started to get complicated... well no not really but our teacher‘s explanations are kinda weird so idk but hey chemguide exists!

tuesday:

so... today. for starters, i got five hours of sleep — that’s pretty much how it’s been since school started and it’s starting to take a toll. i literally fell asleep in chem no joke.

my brain’s starting to hurt from bio and it’s been! one! and! a! half! weeks!

i have a feeling this year will be like last year. so a lil summary... basically i started the year aiming for straight A*s which i alhamdullilah got but by october i wanted to kms so you get the gist. by november i gave up wholly. i did no homework, no revision, nothing. but somehow i managed to wing all my school exams without failing terribly, i still look back and just go

i’d planned to make notes on chapter 3 chem, which we’ve just finished, but my laptop gave up on me so i just did my math homework instead. i also took an hour and a half nap lol i need to fix my sleep schedule asap before napping becomes a habit because last year... yeah no. i’m honestly thinking of just sticking to homework for the rest of the week so i don’t burn out,, watch the universe go against me now

i just realised i haven’t even mentioned physics... so physics is okay atm but i’m just so tired so i don’t really pay attention in lessons erm... i need to stop

i also haven’t done much reading, i’ve decided to put The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and hold right now and focus on Emperor of all Maladies which is so long but quite interesting. i’m barely 200 pages through i’m so tired

oh and did i mention that i want to sleep? because i could sleep for a year atm.

anyways, i’ll see y’all on saturday, and will hopefully be able to boast about all the studying i’ve done since today (hA nightingale you thought), so until then

tags (i love y’all )

Well done for being productive and staying on top of your work just make sure you don’t over work yourself as if you are too tired it’s nearly impossible to be productive

Make sure you get some sleep! I would love to be tagged if possible

i’m sorry, nightingale can’t come to the phone right now. why? oh... cause she’s having a mental breakdown!

i’ve had two crying episodes in the past two days alone i’m donejdfghlk

we’ll start with the good news because i doubt anyone wants to hear me cry about how mentally unstable i am...

i got the role at our school magazine that i applied for! i get to write about science and technology which is awesome because i <3 medicine and that (duh) happens to involve a lot of science!

that’s the good news. now it’s time to rant... go grab your popcorn!

sigh... so since the last post thing just went down.

a day-by day summary of my week since tuesday:

wednesday:

so on wednesday my laptop decided to go haywire meaning i couldn’t attend any lessons except the last half of maths because i ended up having to use teams on my phone (which i absolutely hate). no internet connection meant i couldn’t even access the recordings and catch up on bio so the only thing i could do was start on chem. thankfully my teacher gave us notes so i retyped those (i’m extra like that) with proper grammar and all because all my teachers have horrible grammar,, and i used chemguide on my phone as well. i only got through half the chapter before my brain decided it was going to give up, however...

thursday:

on thursday the wifi went “phuck y’alls sorry a$$es i’m outta here” and she just left... so guess who couldn’t attend any lessons! i did actually attend them all but it kept glitching and lagging so i had no choice but to sit there for forty minutes, listening to some devilish distorted audio and screaming at my phone every three seconds.

i tried to finish chem but i developed a pounding headache and so ended up taking a three hour nap and putting an egg and mayonnaise mask in my hair (a girl’s gotta give her type 4c hair some attention, i did the big chop six months ago and it’s still so short)...

friday:

now as for friday... i actually got some work done! i finished my chem notes and math homework too but then my laptop malfunctioned once again and messed up the entire document. i had a lil cry and a mental breakdown but managed to get myself together and fix it!

saturday:

and then today (saturday) happened. the printer stopped working, my laptop stopped working, i stopped working... a mess i tell you. i spent THREE HOURS (i’m not exaggerating) trying to print some chem past papers our teacher had assigned us, and then my dad spent another three hours fixing the laptop, and then my laptop decided to delete all my school stuff off my onedrive (i managed to recover them all, thankfully), and then when my dad updated the laptop it changed the format for every single word document on my onedrive, including the notes i put my tears into... and then i went up to my bedroom and had another lil cry. i was planning to revise for chem and make bio notes but it’s currently 4pm and i’ve managed to do none of that. all jokes aside i honestly don’t know why i try... remember when i said that me making plans = me cursing everything? i wasn’t joking. i make a to-do list and POOF everything goes wrong! i think positively for a second and BAM i jinx it all! i can’t do anything rightmfjkgjk

i’m still behind on a lot. i still need to write notes for bio and physics and i haven’t even touched physics. my islamic faith is all over the place, i don’t know what’s gotten into me since last year and i’m struggling a lot in case you couldn’t tell

i don’t know how i’ll cope next year when i’ll be actually starting year 12. i’ll be doing an EPQ, work experience, extracurriculars and all sorts, in addition to AS! arghhhhhhh

aaaaand that’s a wrap! i won’t bore you

tags: (ilysm!)

girrrl, you have 4c hair? I dont have type 4 hair myself but I know how much love it needs. Let's just say, I feel 10x more impressed when I see happy, healthy fro hair than when I see happy healthy straight hair lol! Also, I'm so sorry to hear its been such a stressful week. Wtf, this online school BS is so unfair. You're all being robbed man, it makes me so mad (I don't even care for myself cus I'm at uni, that's mostly lectures and independent work anyway, but I am mad for you guys!!)

lol yup, fro hair is something on its own! and seriously, online school is a mess — i haven’t ben able to do much at all or attend classes properly for the past few days because of all the problems with internet connection and my device. it’s a pain.



aww thank you ☺️ it means a lot, ty!

Well done for getting the role at the school magazine!
Ahhh sorry about the wifi issues, that must have been irritating

Sorry to hear your first week didn’t go too well hopefully it gets better from here - I know exactly how frustrating it is to have a printer that doesn’t work.

But on a positive glad to hear you got that position in the school magazine that will give you something fun to do from time to time.

Have a good weekend and I hope next week is much better for you

please tag me!!!

so sorry to hear you’ve been struggling online school really sucks...

don’t beat yourself up about it. hopefully things will sort themselves out and then lessons will be easier for you as a result
