Agent Duck's Yr12 Journey

Heyyy
This is just gonna be a bit about me for those of you who are new here 🩶

I got two 9s, six 8s, three 7s and one 6 at GCSE and did maths, english language, english literature, biology, chemistry, physcis, spanish, geography, food tech, computing, RS and further maths. If anyone needs help in any of those subjects lmk and I'll try to help xx

I am going to do: Biology (AQA), Chemistry (Edexcel), Geography (Edexcel) and Maths (Edexcel) for A Levels so if anyone has any tips for these subjects please tell me. I'm so scared

I currently want to study food science at uni so I might do an EPQ as well - I'm going to see how I find 4 A Levels then decide if I want to drop one/continue/add an EPQ

I am going to a different school for sixth form (all girls grammar to an all boys grammar) which will be different and exciting and petrifying. I will try to post regularly but I'm not gonna stick to a rigid schedule bc I will 100% not follow it.

Omg I'm actually so behind on it because i procrasitinated a bit then went on holiday so now I only have a week left to do most of it 😭
I've got two 50 page booklets, 4 essays and 7 questions to do this week so yeah. Not a great start to a levels but hopefully I'll try to keep on top of all my work over the next two years

Heyyy
I've been really trying to motor the last few days and I've managed to do all 4 essays, answer all the questions, complete the maths booklet and most of the chemsitry booklet.
I jsut have the calculations section and some other random questions left for chemistry so hopefully I can get that done soon

It's really sinking in now that I'm starting sixth form this week at an all boys school which is so scary - what actually possessed me to think that this would be a good change 😭. I've got my uniform and restocked my pencil case so I'm feeling kinda ready but it's just so scary. My friend literally started school today so I'm really glad I have the extra few days to mentally prepare myself

I'm not sure which bus I should get for the first day (they both go to the same stop outside my house and the school) - bus A is the one that I've been getting for the past 5 years with my friends but the amount of people on there has significantly decreased so I'm worried that there won't be anyone going to the same sixth form as me, bus B I get that bus after school but I only started taking it in the mornings during GCSEs because it gets to school earlier but this school starts later so that's not a problem anymore but there are lots of people on that bus going to my new school but none that I really speak to. Please help :please:

Good luck to anyone who started sixth form today and to those starting later this week and good luck to everyone for the new school year xx

Maybe go on bus B? But if you don't feel like socialising then A should be okay? 💀

Good luck on starting sixth form this week! You'll be fine once you settle in 🙂 I think it really depends on how much you want to socialise regarding which bus you should get!

Btw it's not how much I 'm having to socialise on the bus I'm more concerned about there being someone that I can follow so I know where to go and stuff which is why I'm leaning towards bus B but I think one of my few friends that it going to the same school is getting bus A but then we'd both be clueless

Update - my friend said she's getting bus A so I'll get that one too so we can both be lost together

Heyyy

Little mid week update because why not:lol:
So I started sixth form on Wednesday which is interesting. I have quite a few friends from my old school which is quite nice but most of the internal students just keep to themselves unless we're forced to talk in a group discussion in class. I'm the ONLY GIRL in my form which is very sad but we have assemblies most days so I won't be alone for too long everyday. Yesterday I was actually so tired after just half the day but by today my body was kinda back into the routine of school. I've figured out most of the school because it's quite a simple layout but I got lost twice trying to get to my afternoon lesson today because it was downstairs.:confused:

Also why are we getting TWO massive textbooks for EACH subject 😭 like my shoulders are so dead alreadyyy. AHH I'M SO HAPPY BC I LOVE THE UNIFORM SO MUCH it makes me feel so professional and cool and cute and omggg I'm so obsessed with it. I spoke with this year 8 who gets my bus and said that out of my 8 teachers: 5 are good, 2 I am cooked with, 1 he's never had. Also it was so funny when he first saw me in the corridor he stopped and was like WOAHHH which was so funny but yeah

I hope everyone is enjoying the new school year xx
