Max vs A-levels: a STEM focused GYG

WELL DONE ON THE HOCKEY MATCH

✨Weekend plan✨
Won the hockey match! And I have bought 2 more folders for maths and physics and packs of paper for it as well 😭 - I'm still sour about them not telling me about what i needed before.
So today I am going to tidy my room, label all my folders, find the dividers I need (that are somewhere in my home) and put all of the work I did this week away

✨Monday✨
2 lessons of physics today learning about quarks and leptons (or something 😭) and idk i just have a good feeling about it? Like im really enjoying it even though I have only done 2 lessons. I had 3 hours free as well so I finished the first two pages of my DT coursework, condensed my physics notes into flashcards and went over indices again - I am just revisting my knowledge after the lessons on them last week. Im also going to sort out my folders today as I have just bought some dividers that I can use.
Hope everyone is enjoying their first week back <3

Welcome to my year 12 (& probably 13) GYG blog! <3
✨A-levels✨
I am taking Maths, Further Maths, Physics & DT and want to get at least As in all of them (hopefully) to go to an university and take engineering of some kind
✨Some information about me✨✨

✨GCSE results✨
A* in maths (and numeracy), double science, DT, welsh (2nd language) and english lit
A in RE, PE, Welsh bac, english language and ancient history (OCR)
If you want any help with these subjects please ask I will try to assist <3
I will post on this blog weekly (at least!) and I am using it to recap my past week like what I learned and my general feeling around school and home life, plan my week ahead and maybe post reviews of books I've read or shows I've watched.
Interaction is welcomed and I will do my best to respond to everyone! (also tell me if you want to be added to a quote list for big updates!)

Finally found your GYG, looking forward to reading your updates!

✨Tuesday✨
Triple physics (with the teacher I don't like 😭) and double frees today where I taught myself vectors and researched the kind of engineering I want to specialise in. Civil? Environmental? Maybe just general? Who actually knows atp
Looking forward to quintuple further maths tomorrow tho (rip me)

QUINTUPLE FM omggg thats so baddd
Also my dad always had that song on the radio when I was younger lol

Good luck for quintuple further maths! I have a full day of lessons tomorrow so im preparing for my brain to explode lol

✨Wednesday✨
Further maths started literally an hour late but that's ok because I needed to mentally prepare myself anyway 😭 but tbh I think the whole lesson was summed up by the fact I didn't cry (win) and I actually understood it all! I really enjoyed it and I liked my class and both teachers too so Im feeling incredibly happy rn. The teacher also said that I dont need to worry about it and that bc im doing further my grade for maths is pretty much a guaranteed A* (dont know how true that is tho) I also definitely prefer mechanics over pure bc I get words but it is balanced by the fact you dont get any of the helpful equations which sucks
How is everybody settling in? Hope its going well <3

Good job on further maths! Biology is killing me for real because i had to teach myself the stuff when i get home due to missing lessons ☹️ id say overall though im settling in well! And my head hasn’t exploded quite yet lol

FM is a challenge to mentally prepare for I won't lie, but your teacher is kinda right. Normal maths is soooo easy for me now because of further maths. Especially as you'll be taught some concepts in further that rely on year 13 maths knowledge, so next year you;'ll be chilling. Wait till you get to stats/mech in normal maths it's so fun

Well done for getting through all that further maths - honestly I couldnt even understand anything for gcse fm so I dont know how you are doing it 💪
Tbh I prefer pure maths because mechanics is basically just physics which I thought I was done with
