Congrats on the win 🩶
Are you working on your personal statement already?

To be very honest I dont even know where to start working on it 😭so its on hold until I have time to do some more research...
✨Monday✨
So 1 lesson of physics and 4 frees was the order of the day - I learnt about the forces between particles and did all the hw I missed over the weekend in my frees so it's very successful! I am stating my problem solving course this evening and I'm pretty excited for it and then going climbing straight after - loving it atm
Song of the day - pretty girls - Renee rap
Productivity - 4/5
Stress - 2/5

Update!
The maths thing went absolutely awful so thats amazing 🙃 I didn't understand anything the man said and it felt wayyyyyy above the skill level of what I'm supposed to achieve after 2 weeks of yr 12 (and I'm doing fm too!)
Luckily there are 2 others in my school doing it and we're going to sit down in frees tommorow and figure out wtf was going on and then go ask my fm teacher.

Hope everybody else's day went a little better and sorry for the late update! <3

Triple physics and double frees makes for a fu'n day that. Spent 2 hours listening to the teacher I don't like somehow manage to not teach anything and then tell the class we have to do hw every week when he won't tell us what to do??? So silly but at least the other hour was good ig 🤷*♀️
Started to understand the maths work in one of my frees today as well and then chatted while writing up flashcards of the physics today
🎶Song of the day🎶 - from the start - laufey
Productivity - 3/5
Stress - 1/5
How was everybody's day? <3
Also does everyone like this current format of posts bc I dont really know tbh - I was thinking of doing a summary post at the end of each week as well but I'll think about it later ig

Nice to hear you're understanding the maths work better now :woohoo: Also I like the formatting of your posts; the 'song of the day' is a cool idea :yep:

5 hours of further maths! Woohoooo! But actually to be really honest why do I love it sm??? It's crazy how much I enjoy that subject 😭 apart from the homework..... But that's ok I'll finish it pretty soon in frees if at home over the next few days. Baked some banana bread in other news and it's so good... I need to do some hoovering and housework in the next few hours but that's fine pretty chill and I've been crocheting a little pouch for my phone and listening through some of my favourite songs so life is great rn

Omg 5 hours of further maths sounds like a nightmare but I'm glad you enjoy it
I love banana bread so much but I usually make the mixture into cupcakes so it's easier to take to school and stuff - do you put chocolate chips in or is it plain?
