8,8, and 8 that's what I did. Just 2 hours of maths.
Did quadratics nth term
And front paper past paper questions ( I get those wrong more often) I also did some German on gizmo love gizmo, would definitely recommend. I used other people decks because I'm lazy but yh.
I'm kind of craving to do a German part paper so tomorrow I might just do all german 🤪
Also update, I found mt bonnet, it was inside my other bonnet that I wasn't using 😒
Um yeah that's it from me today, very productive and yes we pray for a tinny bit of consistency

woo congrats on being productive, keep it up!!

Have you guys heard the news, they're changing the dictionary definition of the word productivity and changing it to my username!?!



That's crazy because not only did I persevere when the tough got tougher in German higher paper readingm I also completed it in my household were the name silenc tany word silence doesn't mean anything.
I ended up getting 39/60 which is decent. It'd like a 6 or 7. Which is okay however I noticed I struggled with more complex vocabulary there and stuff like that.. annoying because most of the things I got I because didn't want to get it wrong. Ik

Anyways tommorow is giving sciences revision.

🙋🏾*♀️I must confess. I lied. Again.

I infact did not do sciences, in my defense I literally had double science today which out me off completely on the bright side I did German again( I may be in love guys) the way it just it's so fun idek why, I lowkey love learning languages. Got a 7 in listening too and idek all the higher paper content yet like 🔥

Tommorow I'm definitely going all out on maths, as a I reminder I need 3 lock in for next mocks fr it'd like 3 weeks. Another reminder ik nth ab henrry the 8th 🤣👀. But it's ntd as long as I pass it fr, I'm more concerned ab maths Cus I need to do a level maths or I've actually ****ed all my plans 7s are desirable but if I have atleast a 6 it's also fine. Uhm that's like it idk what else to say because it seems like I haven't done much today even though ik i haveb ut I think I'm just gonna call it a night :smile:
I’m just commenting to add encouragement, well done and keep up the good work, your work ethic will definitely guarantee you success

Tommorow I will indeed to a maths or science depends how I wake up fr and if I wake up on time fr and if I remeber fr

Updating from the last time I revised 🙆🏽*♀️: did maths today. Quadratic nth term mastered. We've been doing the other quadrangle in skl so eventually by this week or next week I'll be able to finish all of the topics revolving quadratics I'll then move onto Averages in tables and stuff then just spam my brain with past papers.

Also just remembered I have other subjects 😨 so I'm gonna try be more strict with my revision ratio. For every hour of maths I do 30 minutes of another subject.

That's it really from me. I feel like the days are getting longer but it's actually just time passing by quicker if that makes sense

To cook or to be cooked that is the question. Definitely not Shakespeare but I am questioning everything. I got home and I actually js napped unplanned and I ruined my whole schedule by doing it. I got up brain fried and tried to do maths. Failed. Went through biology flashcards opened the paper.

Opened the biology paper 1hr45 I started. I'm going well. I check through other pages to see. I skip a page. I skip a page. I skip another and another. Bam end of test. 35 minutes and I didn't even vet through question 4.

I have been gagged. Yes please do call the police. I can't breathe.
Then my lovely amazing academic weapons of friends like to remind me they did the same thing and cooked.

I didn't even cook air. Does that make any sense. I have 1hr and 10 left so I'm leaving it and coming back to it tmmrw with a fresh head 👀 I'm just gonna do some German to make me feel better then call it a day icl

Also the fact Ik nothing on history crime and punishment and henry the 8th is catching up to me. We just got given homework and it's on everything I haven't done. Massive 20 marker plannings🤸🏾*♀️

What is it? Haven't you done enough? 🙆🏽*♀️ like can I live, can I live, can I ******* live.

Anyways I'm probably gonna watch smth eat relax and call it a night.

1/5 days in the bag woohoo.😐

Stop. Let's do a bit more accountability. I hereby hold myself responsible for contributing to global warming.

I'm on Fire.

I nearly cried. Then did a backflip then threw up. Today I did a tiny bit of maths then started on biology resuming the paper from the other day. Didn't even do flashcards this time I was js like fck it let's gooo so 🤷🏾*♀️🤷🏾*♀️ I just did it and I told myself I was gonna attempt every damn question , ghat I did. I had 1hr and 10 left and I completed the rest of the exam.
Only I had realised when marking I had skipped out a few easy questions for js not reading the full page or missing the question.

Other ones I wasn't sure of I still got marks for just stating things I could remember about it and revolving my answer around that. Literally taking 1 idea and running with it 1/4 marks.

Also I lost marks for not applying this strategy to every question. I skipped a 5 marker for not understanding every point I was going to make instead of mentioning and assuming the points I knew.

On my last mock I got 46/100 (g6) I can now proudly say I got 56/100. Which ik it's not much but 10 marks can be worth so much more it actually got me to a grade 7 which is what I'm aiming for in all sciences as I don't really need them.

I actually feel so motivated and relieved like all ym hard work is paying off😆😆

Tmmrw we go again but with computer science or maths past paper 👏🏾👏🏾

Open day: went to maths I loved it they seemed so supportive and they tailor your learning based on your grades and the pace you are comfortable working at. Buisness I loved talking to the women about it there it was very nice. Then all of a sudden I hear. " we don't do IT anymore" (the website clearly states they did) haha. Okay it's fine right. I'm looking around. Groups of girls are just doing tiktok dances in the middle of the yard. On an open day? Have some decorum pls. I go to a few other classrooms. Art. Graphic design (checking for a friend) the room was so big and they seems so passionate about the art. I even went to science the rooms are so big. Even tho the classroom sizes aren't more than 24. (Idk if that's big but my high skl has like 32). I go to computer science. Nobody's there. Hm maybe we got the wrong place. No there's no other computer science. Some guy with a lanyard walks down the hall "are you hear for the computer science talk" no shet sherlock I judt wanted to stare at the computers to see if I wanna do a level cs. The classroom is a lot smaller compared to others there is no leaflet for me to take. I'm like alr noted. He starts talking ab cs mentioned maths maths maths and how many people that do cs do mayhs a level it's recommended. He then proceeds to mention coursework. 20% of my grade? Thr computer science A Level contains coursework. I'm like hmm okay maybe they combined cs and IT. He begins to mention the content we do, half of it is what I do at gcse now, half if Databases and networking stuff. And a tiny but of programming. Blah blah blah. Any questions. I go "you don't offer IT anymore but is Computer science content and IT content being pushed together or being made the same or something liek are we doing both courses in 1. " he goes. "Well idk but if your so interested in tech and IT there's another college down the road called ----- If your so sure on what you want to do maybe try doing a vocational or something more hands on" after that I was like ik he did not js deflect my question. My crew let's go. So I packed my bags and went on my jolly way. Out of the 6. I must be desperate as fck to want to go here definitely the bottom of my pyramid.


HOWEVER, this led to motivation in maths bc I wanna do well and I need atleast a 6 praying for better things next open day on Tuesday and uh I actually did a predicted paper online paper 1 and got 43/80 last one I did I think I got 34/80 so wow. I'm js so glad and I owe majority of it to this gyg

Thank you tsr. GOODNIGHT

This was an...interesting experience to say the least. 😅
Great that you always take something positive from it! Keep it going and you'll get the grades you want. 💗

May aswell join a cooking competition because the way I've been cooking in maths, yes. I did another past paper today. Woooo. It was non calculator. 👀 (wtf is wrong with you) twice in a row. Yes. Untimed. Yes. But did I COOOK OR DID I COOOOK. I started the gyg extremely unconfident in maths, all I knew is that I needed atleast a 6 to do a level maths. Which is something I really want to do. As much as I try to pretend I actually love maths and problem solving (☝🏾🤓) when I received that 5. Humble with a capital H. Couldn't even describe how i felt. I was discouraged. I passed of course but I walked into yr 10 thinking that 7s was the minimum I wanted in all gcses and then put in minimum effort.

Here I am. Doing a past paper 2023 getting 54/80. A grade 7. 3 marks of an 8. WOW. The feeling is felt. It feels so wow like I feel so good and confident.

1 down 2 more papers to go.
2/9 subjects tackled.
Next up: I get my mock timetable tmmrw and I will see which subject I need to fight next

(Tysm for the kind messages they really are motivation for mee🫶🏾 it's also curing mt procrastination too)

Academic weapon Out. BAM

:woohoo:
Guess whose back 🎶🎶 back again🎶🎶 I am back 🎶🎶 tell a friend🎶🎶💃💃. Erm so update since u last saw me.

I had a tint tiny tiny tiny tint very minute very small and demure breakdown over the facts I got 38/80 on another maths past paper it was predicted. Turns out, I got a 6 anyway. The perks of staying to the end of the video to find the grade boundaries aye 👀.
So anyways yeah there's that. Next day Then there's me just passing time doing paper 2 questions slowly.
Then I tried to do biology next day I have these booklets which actually just humbled me like. Cus I actually dk how to answer the questions besides the facts I have a fear of getting things wrong which affects me. I'd rather not try than to attempt and get it wrong. Ikik I'm trying to stop.
Then yesterday I did 30 minutes of history 👀.

Then I vowrd I would dedicate a whole day to myself just trying to understand chemistry. Taking breaks of course to do something fun like maths but still trying to just grasp things I haven't grasped yet as a triple science student ( basically everything )

Then im probably going to do chem today, physics tomorrow and biology on Monday. 3 days today history. Then I'm basically back on track. Ik what ur thinking. I'm basically cramming. I'm cramming but I actually don't need to cram which is essentially like a benefit. I'm forcing myself to learn n understand and pretend theirs a like limit. I'll actually have 2 weeks left at the end of this. 🌚

Also ik this sounds like the weirdest thing ever but I've been using Gemini ai to help me understand certain concepts and give me exam style questions and ikik using a robot to help u learn. But it's actually helping me to understand how to answer questions and helping me to identify key areas I actually don't know. That's js me personally idk ab u guys.


So yeah that is Update of the week or whatever. I'll keep you posted on how this day goes. Bro I even got up early too. 🙆🏽*♀️

Academic weapon?: about to sharpen.
