Thank youuu! It's rare I actually get things done 🤣.

Same here, I'm trying my best to make sure I take my schoolwork more seriously this year :o:

Yeah so am I to be honest.. last year I didn't work very much but this year I'm going to try to keep it going and tell myself when it's done, it's done and I can rest then. How's it going for you?

That seems like a good plan to get work done :yep: Admittedly I was a bit complacent last year. I was convincing myself I was doing the best revision I possibly can when this wasn't true. Now I have found a lot of gaps in my knowledge from year 12 so I'm trying to fill in those gaps, whilst also keeping on top of year 13 content.

Yep, I thought I was doing ok in my subjects and turns out I have a few issues to fix but I'm hoping to stay after school most days to work and use evenings more efficiently as well as weekends. I wish you all the luck with revising and all that. Keep me updated!!

Hello!

Today I was pretty busy...

Worked on universities in tutor

Geography we worked on earthquake prevention and tsunamis. Gave us lots of homework which I'm not too excited about.

Private study where I finished my maths homework and worked in universities

Literature we started working on Jane Eyre and looked at chapter 1+2. Gave us an insane amount of homework

Stayed after school until 5:45 where I worked on more maths homework and literature homework.

I then stayed in school and went to a UCAS meeting my school held for our parents


I also found out a solo I'm going to have in my orchestra and I'm scared for my life 😅. It'll be fun but terrifying.

Productivity - 7/10
Stress 5/10

Thanks :woo:

It's actually crazy. My literature teacher set an extract to annotate, an article to annotate and a passage to summarise plus read and annotate Jane Eyre - all by Thursday! I literally do not have time in my life 🤣😭.

And then geography set quite a bit as well to do by Thursday as well ...

Hi!

Today I did

In tutor I worked on uni stuff

Maths and learnt about Radians with arcs and sectors and found it pretty easy actually. No homework set

Private was spent trying to figure out DofE and a bit of English lit homework

Geography was pretty boring. More stuff about the SPR which I basically did as homework. Set us a group task for homework

Stayed until 4 and finished English lit homework

Went home and worked in uni stuff until 5:45

Now I'm heading to orchestra which starts at 7:30 and ends at 9:30

Productivity - 5/10
Stress - 7/10

Thanks! :hello:

Hi

Today I feel pretty tired. Slept at 11 and when I woke up I felt like I slept at 3 at most..

Tutor I worked heavily on personal statements. I got it checked by my tutor and fixed it

In private I did some reading on my geography book and notes and then went to a club where we discussed recent news

Geography I worked on more tsunamis but it was pretty chilled.

Private I did a lot of university stuff

I stayed after school and worked on university stuff as well as reading more. I eventually left early as I couldn't concentrate.

I then went home and am now eating snacks and watching the greatest showman 🙂 and I'll read a fiction book afterwards.

Thanks :bl:

Yeah I've been feeling tired these past few days as well, which makes it much harder for me to remember what I'm revising 😴
