flowersinmyhair's Y13 adventure

Scroll to see replies

Today was very difficult and I didn't get a lot done. I'm trying to catch up this evening but I also have other urgent things that need doing. Also, I have a geography test in just over two weeks so I'll need to start revising for that. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, as I really don't need any more things to catch up on. I did really enjoy biology though, today so I guess that is something.

Sorry to hear you didn't have a very good day :frown: Hopefully today goes a bit better!
Today wasn't really any better than yesterday, I was probably slightly more productive though. I printed off some orchestral extracts that I had lost so had to print them out again and we were looking at immunity in biology (apparently it was the second most complicated thing after photosynthesis). I also had RS today, which not much happened in. I'm going to be busy for the next few days so you are unlikely to hear anything from me again until Friday/Saturday.
I've missed three days of lessons because of geography, and I already had work to catch up so I'm going to be very busy all weekend. Fortunately I only have 5 lessons because of geography but I think I have a similar number from before that so I'll see how far I get.
I need to start catching up, revising for upcoming tests, starting work towards my geography NEA, work on my personal statement, organise my sheets and do research for biology and I'm not sure how realistic this is but I'm going to try my best and see what happens. I'm feeling a lot better than I did at the start of this week so I think it should be easier than it was then.
I think I'm coming down with a cold, which is probably going to disrupt stuff even more than things have been already. I'm going to try and get stuff done but I do feel pretty rubbish today lol. I didn't do anything that I needed to yesterday, so I need to do at least some of that today but at least tomorrow I have two frees and a study which should give me plenty of time to catch up.
I've felt increasingly rubbish throughout the day, so yet again I haven't done any work. I did a covid test, and it's not covid so I guess that's something.

I was spotted by a member of community staff, for helping others in the study help forum. They mentioned that I would be a good forum helper and I submitted a short application which there is a link to on an article somewhere. After that I became a study forum helper. All of this happened between March and April 2023.

My top revision tips would be to make revision resources as you go along, personally I use flashcards on StudySmarter that I have made and the spaced repetition feature. For RS I use mind maps as well (which could be useful for other essay based subjects) and biology lots and lots of practise questions is the best thing to do.

I'm in the exact same situation rn :redface: make sure you're staying hydrated and take some paracetamol :smile:
I had double geography this morning, we are starting work towards our NEA now which is exciting. I think I'm going to one on physical geography but beyond that I'm not too sure. I spent most of my time catching up today, pretty much just Christianity but I have it fully caught up, so that's good :smile:. The plan for this evening is to catch up biology and maybe ethics as well if I feel up to it.
Haven't got anything done, I can't really though because of how rubbish I feel. Oh well.

It's not serious, I have drugs so I should start to get better. Thanks for the concern though :smile:
I surprisingly got quite a bit of work done at school. I have done nothing since I've got home though. I had double RS this afternoon, but I had over caught up ethics so basically didn't have to do anything. I spent biology catching up, and I'm now mostly caught up. I did a little bit of work on my geography NEA, still working towards initial ideas.
I had another productive day at school but then did nothing at home. I had RS, geography and biology today and in biology we were doing a core practical. I worked by myself but I didn't really have enough hands to do it well. I was supposed to have games but I got out of it because of my chest infection. I made some business ethics flashcards and did some more research for a core practical I have due next week. I also have an RS essay due next week and I am writing one on business ethics next week. I have a geography test as well coming up, so I hope start to feel better so I can actually do some work at home.
