Trickia's tricky travel on her a levels (2024-25)

Welcome to my gyg for this academic year xx (going to year 12)

To those that don't already know me I'm Tricia and I'm going to be studying biology(OCR A), chemistry(OCR A)and maths (AQA) a levels! Additionally an EPQ (OCR) I'm not quite sure what I want to base my project on as I am quite indecisive - hopefully when I meet my tutor I will get some clarity! And I hope to do my grade 8 piano in this academic year! (I just started 🌟 and its ABRSM)
Going to put my GCSE grades later once I get my remarks confirmed👍🏻

Intro🥳
I'm a third culture kid (identity crisis xx) but I'm Chinese
I'm a state school student going to a state sixth form
My hobbies are mainly music related activities, cooking/baking, reading/researching topics

Aspirations?
To stay on top on everything and become a academic biohazard (obviously don't forget self care xx)
Going to uni to study biochemistry and possibly do a lab related career?👩🏻*🔬
Quite aspirational to say this but I'm hoping to go to the uni of Cambridge (plans may change but that's where I am aiming right now for a number of reasons☠️)

Aim is to update this gyg at least once a week once the term starts but no promises Anyone doing these subjects I would like to ask for some advice😔 Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

Anyway hoping you all stay tuned and buckle your belts as we go on this rocky flight together and best of luck to everyone this academic year!

You haven't been given a textbook list. I was given a textbook list on results day when I confirmed my place.

Nope - after the inital email confirming my place I haven't heard anything from the school which is a bit concerning
