DerDracologe’s sixth form GYG

Original post by DerDracologe
Recently looked into GYGs and have decided to start one for the start of year 12. Welcome I guess!
I’m starting sixth form in about 2 weeks and taking Maths, Physics, Biology and an EPQ with the aim of studying something in ecology or zoology at uni. Im quite excited to start my subjects but also uncertain about starting sixth form!
I obviously just got my GCSE results (9999998886A) which I am very happy with!
Over the Summer Ive been mostly: going to nature reserves, trying different art techniques, building a website, working on my speed cubing, listening to a lot of music, doing my school’s set transition work (finished this yesterday) and preparing for my a levels with some CGP books.
I hope to stick with this and hopefully post at least once or twice a week with some goals for stuff I’ll be trying to do in the week to hold myself to account and maybe update on how I’m finding sixth form.
Happy to respond to any comments if anyone wants to interact :smile:

Thanks, good luck to you too :smile:
30.08.24 I did some Maths stats this morning (again!) and then physics questions on energy this afternoon. I was going to do some Biology but i got too tired so I just listened to a lot of music instead! I did hope to finish Biology by the end of the week but that’s looking a little unlikely, I will still try though :smile:

31.08.24 today I did some physics questions, some maths stats and started a new MOOC on animals in extreme environments- there’s a lot of new terminology but its very interesting!

Aims for the coming week:

finish Maths stats stuff (Ive been going through my a level Maths textbook and making notecards on all the content I already know from add maths)

finish my Biology headstart book (notecards+flashcards)

finish my headstart Physics questions from the forces and motion section


Update for this week:

Finished maths stats 😀

Finished my Physics questions 🙂

One page left on Biology content 🙃

Very behind on Biology flashcards 🥲


Aims for the coming week:

Do more on my new MOOC

Actually finish Biology notecards and flashcards this time

Print out specs for each subject and read through them

Mentally prepare for starting sixth form

Finish learning my Sq-one algs so I can solve it and have something interesting to talk about to make new friends (possibly) 🤣
