Hold Your Horses ! Macy's Yr 12 GYG 2020/21

Welcome to this introverted extrovert's scholarly blog!
Your favourite future equine veterinarian welcomes you to her A-Level journey

Introduction
For those that don't know me, hi I'm Macy and I'm going into Year 12 to study Chemistry, Biology, Maths.
I will be staying at the same Sixth Form, so hopefully not much will change- other than the stress level, and I may decide to take a Cambridge Pre U in italian which should not help with exam anxiety oops.
I am 16, a Taurus (for those of you into zodiac signs) and my favourite colour is yellow, whilst my passions include art, learning languages, playing sports- including horse riding, cricket (played for Essex a while back), x-country (and long distance running) and more, however, my love for horses takes over :')
I am fluent in SARCASM, along with a few languages, and I'm also a full-time PROCRASTINATOR so watch out!
I would consider myself an outdoor person, but when my lazy side takes over there is NO way in heaven, hell or earth that I will get up and walk more than a few steps, bye bye fitness..
If we're talking cartoons I could watch The Simpsons, Scooby Doo, Spongebob, Gumball, Adventure time
and many more, all of the time- I'm such a child at heart. I do watch other shows I promise.. and when I like them I binge watch them :"D I actually watched 5 seasons of Jane the virgin in slightly over a week whilst on holiday... Either way, I actually grew up watching a lot of anime which is quite strange as I don't really watch any now, but I can say my favourite used to be 'The roses of Versailles' (idk why this is relevant, but at the time i thought it was).
My favourite subjects have to be Chemistry and Biology, but I'd be lying if I said I preferred school over sport haha.
I am hoping to study veterinary medicine at either Cambridge, RVC, Liverpool or Nottingham, although my fourth option is still being evaluated and I may consider applying to Hartpury for an equine sport science course, just as a backup.
My school day schedule is currently looking like it'll be 8:35am-2:45pm until everything goes back to normal, which is not anytime soon I believe..

I have NO EXPERIENCE whatsoever in GYG's, I mean I have a failed blog if it helps haha, so bear with me whilst I figure everything out and the 'edit' button will slowly become my best friend!

Mon GCSE's
Overall, I'd like to say I'm pretty pleased with my GCSE's as I got what I expected, well other than in chemistry which was a bummer, well here are the numbers that were written on the paper:

Goals
I don't have many goals planned for this year, however, I'm overall just hoping to get all A's in my AS Levels this year (you can't get A*'s right?)
Here are some goals that I have managed to come up with other than the main one:

➵ Make my mind up on whether I'll sit all 4 A levels or drop either Economics or Maths (Update: I won't start economics!)
➵ Get some work experience done, if I can't find many placements I'll just spend more time at the stables
➵ Find out about Cambridge Pre U's and decide whether I should take one in Italian
➵ Practice the Cambridge Natural Sciences entrance exam, as I'll need to sit it
➵ Learn more about the vet courses at each uni, and about the paths you have to take to specialise in equine vet medicine
➵ Get a revision timetable/schedule sorted out early, last year no revision was done
➵ Procrastinate less and do work, but don't become a hermit!
➵ Not put too much pressure on myself as that's always been a struggle and enjoy the year ahead :')
➵ NEW GOAL! - Find EPQ subject you'd like to do

EXAM BOARDS:
-Chemistry= OCR A
-Biology= OCR A
-Maths= Edexcel
-EPQ (theme/subject)= tbc

Laura the fact that she ran a 5k under 20 mins was so unfathomable to me I was given proof and still refuse to believe macy managed that

Yes that’s understandable 😂 I kind of want to be back as soon as possible too, but I also don’t 😭
Are you going into year 13?

Thank you ☺️ (quarantine has made me run twice in six months :lol:

)

Thanks 😁 I’ve been told that if I kept a constant training routine and actually ran more often I could’ve run professionally, not for me 💀

That’s a good point- well 88% parallel 👀

Oh wow, well I can be organised but my organised is definitely not like yours, not the prepare ahead type anyway. I do like some things in very specific orders and combinations and it takes me ages to decide sometimes 😂
Luckily I never get caught either :colone:

Yup

Like I say, I am over organised 😂 I always prepare wayy too early out of excitement tbh and also plan things out to a T and get annoyed if I don't follow it lol.. I am definitely not a laid back person!
