Journey to A*&#x27;s - Year 12 GYG (2020/2021)

OP

So far this week, I've not done very much but I have managed to finish most of my bridging work, I am starting sixth form on Thursday which is kinda stressful after so long off but I'm sure it will be fine. The maths bridging work was really short and I barely had to do anything, however physics and chemistry are taking me ages and I really cba but I've got to get it all done soon so I'm trying to motivate myself to do it now (although I have just made this GYG as a form of procrastination so I don't think I'll get anything done :dontknow:

)
Good luck for anyone starting year 12 soon :smile:

this look great. I'm glad you tagged me :smile:

I'd recommend His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman. one of my favourite books of all time. I recently started listening to the infinite monkey cage on BBC sounds (it's a science/physics based podcast) and it's great.

good luck for year 12

Hi!
I've seen loads of GYG's popping up at the moment and decided that I would start one for myself. As you can see from the title I'm going into year 12 in September and I am aiming to get As and A*s (this may be a bit of a stretch for year 12 but I'm at least going to try :smile:

Background information:

I am a bit nervous about starting year 12 because I have missed so much school and i don't really feel ready, I am staying at my current school but I do not know anybody in my classes so hopefully I will meet and get to know some new people (although I think lockdown officially destroyed the limited social skills that I had so not sure how this will go 😂)

I'm not really expecting anybody to read this, it is just kinda my motivation for year 12 and also something for me to look back on in the future, I'm hoping to update at least once a week, Let me know if you would like a tag :smile:

I've been thinking of reading His Dark Materials for a long time, I might give it a go now :smile:

I've listed to some of the infinite monkey cage podcast on Spotify and so far it seems great, it seems like we have similar tastes :biggrin:

This is what I'm hoping, although I'm still going to have to work really hard if I have any chance of going to Cambridge, are you in year 12 as well? (would you like to be tagged?) :smile:
