✨Thurday✨
double DT (coursework, gantt time management & morphological analysis), 1 free and double maths (surds and box and whisker diagrams) today. Very fun I'm having a great time and managed to get my fm hw done in my free lesson but got another piece in maths and DT so need to do that tonight. My goalie training is starting again! I'm actually so glad.
🎶song of the day🎶 - naked in manhattan - chappel roan
Productivity - 4/5
Stress levels - 1/5
Also question for all the year 13s out there - how much time should I be looking to spend condensing my knowledge for each subject per week? Im struggling a little with figuring it out bc all my subjects are very skill based and I have to know less if that makes sense??? Anyway ty for reading! <3

Physics I'd say just try and make sure any notes are done by end of the week (so if you're on topic 1.2 make sure 1.1 is done and you've caught up to where you are in 1.2), that being if you are a note taking person. Same principle if you are a flashcard person. Honestly maths notes take like no time, put the formula and any rules and maybe one example in a tidy way so you get it when you review later, but maths and fm is a lot more practice than anything. I didn't practice unless I had a test which I probably should do haha but you can if you'd like. DT I've heard theory is almost the exact same as GCSE so if you took it for GCSE then you should be better for it.

Idk if that's helpful at all

It is tysm<3
I am definitely more of a flashcard person so I'll just try to summarise everything I've learnt in physics each week and with DT go over the GCSE stuff again but I wasn't great at it but that's ok

HIYA!!

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!)


Good luck on your subjects🫶🏽 I can already imagine how stressful the workload is going to be but there’s really no winning when it comes to a levels is there😢
I’m sure your going to do amazing tho so I’ll be stalking this page every so often hehe
