heyy im sorry i need to catch up on you guys' gygs >:0
but anywyaysy today i did basically nothing (but i FINALLY kinda got chem after watching some Khan academy!! so thats amazing 😭 who knew american stuff could be so helpful)
had a music lesson + a very terrifying curriculum evening where they basically told us that we have to do everything ever to get into uni and the amount of wider reading to do and positions to apply for is insane.
to do:

revise for bio + chem midterm assessments (30 september)

hw for classiv (pericles annotation)

hw for bio (bunch of questions on cells)

hw for chem (exampro questions, a lot.) (in chem book)

hw for spanish (textbook listening and something else)

oral hw for spanish - by monday

extra stuff to do:

read bio journal

MOOC

yeahhhhh i dont know how but will have to pull through this week :afraid:
thank you guys for the motivation 😭

Hope you get it all done! 🙂

soooo i kinda did stuff today :0 i went to volunteering and a trial lesson for sm so missed out 3 ish hours but somehow i was super energetic in the morning so got to half do nearly everything:

progress

revise for bio + chem midterm assessments (30 september) - NOT DONE but started bio flashcards for cells

hw for classiv (pericles annotation) - basically done, just need to highlight the stuff i annotated for colour

hw for bio (bunch of questions on cells) - half done. skipped the measuring and the graph descriptions, because i despise graph questions

hw for chem (exampro questions, a lot.) (in chem book) - up to question 8 but i doubt i'll manage to finish it by next tuesday (anyways loads of the questions have year 13 content so don't have to do all 23 questions)

hw for spanish (textbook listening and something else) - i did the seneca which was the something else. but not the listening

oral hw for spanish - by monday - did half the questions :cookie:

italics = doing
underline = not done at all
nothing = doneish

other

no MOOC progress :naughty:

but i read a few articles from the nature magazine. that were irrelevant to biology but yeaeah still interesting just doesn't count to anything

unrelated

as you can see im trying to organise these posts

anyways

i did some harp practise, because some person wants to duet with me and im very worried

i also ran at 7:30 pm because some people wanted to meet up and i missed their calls


thank you :smile:

Call them Study Periods as it makes you complete more during them.

I did my Bio hw this morning, took my about 30-45 mins id estimate (not really sure) but it was mostly some calculations on magnification- the time consuming bit was biological drawings and then having to label what id done right which took forever as i had to do it twice over (2 different magnifications) 😭
Doing a MOOC during a free sounds like a good idea, Im also hoping to do that at some point! I just did about half an hour on my MOOC- i love reading the content on there once i get started so i feel your pain of not being able to motivate yourself at home!

Ohhh yeahhh had to do that too, was it for the cell practical?
Yess i want to but only have 2 more frees (and no studies) this week but hopefully just like 15 minutes each free and ill finally make a start >:0
Im pretty motivated for hw since its got a solid due date but revision/flashcards and other stuff requires school level focus :afraid:

today
went so quick! im glad it did so i can get over my terrible chem test, an ok bio test and feedback i cant read (teachers handwriting is kinda wild) for a classics essay

homework
i think i'm basically done for tmw!! Theres 2 bio questions ive not done andd not really finished chem but theres also about 2 questions for that too. Spanish done, classics basically done (i can finish highlighting in form time tmw)

revision
which means i need to do some revison tonight. 2 ish hours maybe - half an hour bio questions then flashcards, half an hour chem questions then flashcards

other
i decided that maybe as soon as i get home i'll spend like 15 mins on my friends present
and maybe during a free period this week ill start a mooc
and wider reading on weekend mornings :biggrin:
