ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME A PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE (yes I will be reciting that song for the next twelve days, why not lmao)
I have a late start today, hence the early post - I'm not sure I'll get any work done before I have to leave but that's okay, I'll just grind out this evening 🙂 Also I have double English lit today so I think I need some time to sike me up for that!
Here's my goals for the day:
I'm going to start making some official offer holder threads for some of the unis I have offers from I think because not a single one of them has one of those threads and I'd like to get chatting to people I'll potentially be going to uni with next year, so look out for those!
Have a lovely and productive day all!

Early early post today! I don't have any lessons this morning so I've got an extra couple of hours at home, so I'm going to hit into doing some work
Here's my goals for today:
I'm hoping that if I get all my work done early I might be able to start wrapping Christmas presents this afternoon, and I might be able to do some non-mock related revision!
Have a productive and wonderful day all x

It's that point in the term again when I'm just so tired and unmotivated but I know I need to do work - I can't wait for the holidays.
In other news, it's one of my best friends' 18th birthday tomorrow and we've been friends since primary school so it's mad knowing she'll be an adult now! I gave her her birthday presents today and she was very pleased
Also, I got back a timed Tudors essay I did today and I got 23/25 so I'm very very proud of myself.
Going to take it easy today - I'm going to abandon my revision timetable today as I'm just so tired and it's so late but I am going to do some work:
Have a lovely weekend all, don't forget to relax and give yourself some time away from work x

Up the line to death flashcards (this is easy but necessary so it's something my tiredness can cope with)
•
Henry VIII flashcards (as above)
•
I've already done some biopsychology revision today so that's good
•
Might start planning some aggression 16 markers if I have time as I have my end of unit on Monday and I have a feeling we'll have a 16 marker...

Just a few more days to go until the holidays!! And I've managed to get nearly all of my Christmas wrapping done now so that's all good
I had my aggression end of unit today and that went really really well - I had a 16 marker on aggression in prisons, and 2 four markers, one on social psychological theories and one on research into neural explanations and I'd revised all of that really well so I was very happy!
Just a few goals for today, I'm still abandoning my mock revision timetable until I've got myself up to date with the rest of my work:
I just want you all to know I'm so proud of you the work you've done this term and remember to take time to recharge and look after yourselves! I hope you have a lovely evening

WOOO LAST DAY OF TERM!! It's officially tomorrow for my school, but I have no lessons except an assembly and I'm feeling a bit weird so I'm not going to go in
We did charades in English lit and my group won (it was very very funny) and we did some quizzes in psychology and my group came last by a few points, but we still did really well
Today's goals:
Also this morning I did pilates and I really enjoyed it!
Have a lovely evening all 🍀

Oh and also I got my mock timetable today and it's all looking good - I have no exams on the same day and they're quite equally spaced out so I'm very happy about that!

pilates - yayyyyy hows that going?
I'm loving it! I'm planning to do it on Mondays and Tuesdays, then have Wednesday as a rest day, then do it again on Thursdays and Fridays. I also do yoga alongside it (obviously I do shorter yoga sessions when I do pilates as well) and the two kind of go hand in hand so

(I literally only realised last night that I kind of fell off my twelve days of Christmas song recital on here... oh well)
CAN I JUST SAY, MISS TATE MCRAE ATE AND LEFT NO CRUMBS WITH HER NEW ALBUM? WHAT ON EARTH?!?! IT'S JUST BOP AFTER BOP. I'm literally obsessed with "run for the hills" rn.
I've been on my wellness girl grind this morning so far (did yoga, meditated, read a chapter of "101 essays that will change the way you think" and 20 minutes of "where the crawdads sing" etc etc) and I'm feeling very motivated for the day!
My goals for today:
I also want to finish my Christmas wrapping today as I'm seeing my grandparents etc tomorrow and I want to do some sewing too
Have a lovely, productive day all, I hope you're having a nice start to the holidays if you've finished!
