Big Update:
New Year, new me, new revision revolution that will probably last three days.
On New Year's Day I went to a party with a lot of guests from the local private school. Their clear disdain for people at their school who were there on academic scholarships but they assumed would not have been able to afford the fees otherwise made me realise how classist our society still is, even on a local level in a supposedly fairly deprived area, amongst friends.
This made me really annoyed because I was very close to going to this school for sixth form on a 100% academic scholarship due to my GCSE grades, and knowing my own friend and their friends would have thought of me in this way made me want to prove (somehow) that I can achieve just as highly as them, despite my state education.
This has been my main motivator for studying so far this year, as I hate being made to feel inferior by anyone (I already struggle with this from condescending boys at my school so I am getting quite sick of it).
My method which I've started this week has been to plan my revision to do during my frees at school at the start of the week. Therefore, I don't have to think about what I'm going to do because I've already planned. My planning takes the form of putting it in my Google calendar, attaching the files of exam questions I'm going to do and links to YouTube videos. This has made things so much easier already.
I have also started revising for my Chemistry AP now, instead of rushing the weekend before like I have done previously. Today I've found out I have a Biology AP near the end of the half term so I will start to plan my revision for that soon.
I'm also trying to interview prep for my in person MMI in less than two weeks but I'm finding it difficult since I don't have any dental students helping me out😭. I also need to focus on this a lot more now it's getting close.
All in all, I have a lot on my plate. I have my Grade 8 Singing exam coming up soon as well and I don't know how I will find the time to prepare well for everything. Any advice on time management and avoiding burnout would be greatly appreciated.
