hi! you probably already know me by now 
call me vapordave/dave/david, whatever.
I've just come off a not so good time wellbeing-wise so I thought this would be a good idea.
a bit about me:
I'm currently in Year 12 taking Physics, Maths and Computer Science A-Levels. I'm also trying to self teach Further Maths but I am very behind
goals for 2022:
- apply to university
- apply to university in america
- learn to drive
- get a job
- get support for my mental health
- write more (hopefully this blog will help)
- be a better forum helper
- try my best to get a revision groove going and get 4A* (pipe dream at this point)
I can't promise any updates after this

update 1: 2021
I made a failed wellbeing blog last year. Let's see how many goals I achieved:
1: Get started on learning Japanese - Done!! I've started learning kanji properly and it's going well. I haven't properly started on grammar but there are bits and pieces I've picked up
2: Start getting some schoolwork done - none of that happened in lockdown 3
3: Get satisfactory GCSE grades - I've touched on this before but I'm slightly upset with them. They're not bad though.
a: Push Maths 6 -> 8 - I got a 7 and resat (results next week!!)
b: Push English Literature 3 -> 7 - I got a 6 but that's still a three grade improvement
c: Push Religious Studies 4 -> 7 - I got a 7
4: Grow out my hair / Learn how to take care of said longer hair - It's definitely longer, though I've had it cut in the last year. I think I'm making progress haircare wise
5: Start saving some money / Be more responsible with money - Nope, it's worse now that I eat lunch outside
6: Get a job - Unsuccessful
7: Start exercising more often - did not happen though I naturally walk more for college
8: Take Vitamin D every day - that lasted maybe a month
9: Practice mindfulness more often - I forgot about this
10: Learn some languages for fun! - Japanese is the only one I've given serious thought though I guess it's still for fun

Wow that was a lot of goals to try and work towards last year to be fair
I've only got 3 goals and that's enough for me
Good luck! I'll be making updates more regularly this year so that should help us all

update 1 (idk should i make a schedule):
Things are off to a good start. My attendance so far is 100% (go me!) and things are going smoothly. The workload isn't that bad but I have lots of non-academic things that I've been ignoring
I did ask my computer science teacher for a reference for my application to the Sutton Trust US programme and he happily agreed so that's great. He went to MIT so we've talked a lot about applying to university in the US and stuff.
It's also my birthday today which makes me officially one year closer to adulthood. yay?
