i'm revising differentiation atm, how's it going? Mine is going poorly... I keep procrastinating it... I'll do it this weekend 🤡

lolll differentiation is really kicking me atm. it's like being blindfolded and listening to someone speak a foreign language. i'm praying that it gets better with time and i'm so grateful we're on it now so i have a lot more time to go over it in my free time over the next few months

PRSOM - have you tried using the PMT cheat sheets? They're really useful 🥰

i was feeling the same a couple of weeks ago but now i kinda just want them out of the way quickly😭
year 13 is stressful enough, i kinda just want to revise and do my exams🥲🥲
was able to get a section of my interview prep done today and also part of my mechanics which i'll hopefully finish tomorrow. did some revision before school on organic chem too.
