goals for today (its 7:50 rn and ive done nothing all day 😭😭):
- 30 mins chemistry seneca (unit 9)
- 30 mins geography paper 2 (finish making my flashcards)
then my mum will get home from work and ill watch tv with her!!

ik its not much but its late and i am so tired lol!!

tomorrow ill revise in the afternoon and evening (in the morning ill be outside because i am NOT missing UV 5 no thank you im going on holiday in 2 weeks and i will not be pasty ghostly white in my bikini lol)

so excited for UV 6 on sunday 🥳🥳



question: (i always see people with these question things and i find it so fun)...

omg!! you do latin! i was so close to doing latin but i swapped it for art at the last minute which might just be my biggest regret cuz art is gonna be my lowest grade 😭😭
forreal!! im just planning to not revise that much like my exams on tuesday and ive already got plans for saturday and monday lol

UPDATE: 7/6
all i did was the chemistry, i thought there was no point making flashcards if i couldnt focus cuz it would just take twice as long. so now im gonna make my plan for tomorrow because i'm always so much more focused when ive got a bit of structure:

morning:

print out a maths past paper and do it outside

print out a maths predicted paper and do it... outside!!

read factfulness

afternoon:

chemistry summary video + notes ✔️

geography (finish paper 3 flashcards✔️, learn pre release essays, pre release practice questions)

order clothes for prom, eras tour, and holiday

evening:

maths predicted paper

start a chemistry past paper

hope i can get all this done!! ill update tomorrow : ))))

15:45 update: all ive done is the chemistry :// gonna up my game now (to be fair i started late and i went for a run halfway through lol)

omg thank you and you too! tbh, i usually plan way more revision than i actually do.. and most days i only do 2-5 hours as well (especially on days i have exams) but monday + tuesday this week are so busy for me! so i have to make the most of the time i have 🙃

Omd its so true how theres only a few more exams but i just feel so demotivated to try like im sooo burnt out🥲🥲 any tips???

Reply 12

i would just say that since there's only a week left put all your efforts in now and then by this time next week (or in 2 weeks) you won't need to do anything anymore! the worst feeling is wishing you had just done more once the exams are over

me too lol ive been asking everyone for tips and it hasnt been working !! but ive just been mixing up my reivsion with prepping for my holidays and concerts and plans for after gcses - so i kinda have a bit more of a balance and time to get excited for them to be over
but honestly im not the right person to ask ive barely been revising these past few weeks lol

but i deffo agreewith nm363 like just do your best for this final week and get it done yk? also cuz summer will be so much more fun if you dont spend the whole thing dreading results day lol
