focus on the positive points - psychology was good! :smile:

tuesday 21st november
*MAJOR-ISH UPDATE 😂
I think I have finally found a way to revise properly and efficiently, which is great! every day, apart from Saturday (which is going to be designated to homework day), i am going to be working towards revising for my mocks! i study 2 subjects a day, and each subject 4 times a week! this is what it looks like:

monday - psychology, sociology
tuesday - psychology, spanish
wednesday - psychology, spanish
thursday - spanish, sociology
friday - psychology, sociology
sunday - spanish, sociology

so as today is tuesday, i am focusing on psychology and spanish. these are my tasks for the day:
spanish: *spanish dict conjugation drill (with the tenses you know and the tenses you need to work on)
psychology: - cornell notes for this specification point: definitions of abnormality (deviation from social norms, failure to function adequately, statistical infrequency, deviation from ideal mental health)

taking a break is just as important, you can't work well if you're overtired! starting your plan next week will be great <3
