bowtiesrcool's year 12 blog

05/05/23
I had my first day of year 12 yesterday, and I really enjoyed it! I got my timetable, and I'm getting pictures taken for my ID on Friday. Today I have more lessons (4), and tomorrow my schedule is completely full, which will be interesting. I'm taking 4 a-levels, which I know will be a lot of work. The transport to my 6th Form is way more complicated than to my secondary- the bus only comes every hour, and at an annoying interval so I arrive ages before I need to be at school.

Hey folks! Long time no... chat? Hoping to bring back this little diary to motivate myself- I'm attempting to get over a lot of burnout from GCSEs and get back into a solid working pattern (after a few unpleasant surprises from tests). I have now dropped Further Maths because 4 subjects was just far too much. I did compete in the British Biology Olympiad, and I got Bronze, which no other yea 12s in my sixth form did, so I'm really happy with that.

Congrats on the bronze award!!
