sooo plans kinda changed and ended up going out with friends for a birthday! it was super fun but unfortunately i didn't manage to do what i planned to do. i've almost finished putting my classics notes onto notion, but that's about it :emo:
to do:

bio revision (i'll do that now, starting with going over flashcards and then doing some practise questions and revising the topic we missed out on today)

chemistry (i have to go over the questions tomorrow)

spanish (sunday - i'll revise grammar somehow)

classics - need to finish looking over notes, do practise questions, read over model answers (tomorrow + sunday)


Sounds like you had fun :woohoo:

todayyyy

did some pre-made anki flashcards for bio, edited them a bit but thank youu to the person who made them :adore:

then did volunteering

carbohydrates + lipids questions

some critics revision, found a quizlet for them


to do

learn key quotes + critics for odyssey (should be easier) and oedipus (hard)

mark carbohydrates answers

go back over biology flashcards

do proteins questions and learn the stuff

the other bio topic, chemistry, spanish


idk if i'll have time for everything - i wasted a lot of time writing out notes for quotes that don't really matter for classics so cant make that mistake againnn

alsooo i feel super bad 😓 a guy on the bus left his airpods on the opposite seat - i only saw them as the doors were closing at the stop he got off :argh: gave them to the driver but idk if he'll ever get them back

yeah so that's it, i really don't know how these tests are going to go, especially with classics
thanks again :'')

Best of luck for your tests 🙂 it sounds like you’re trying your best! Im also swamped with Bio stuff, like maths and physics are manageable-ish but biology has so much content and i really want to make all my own resources cos it helps me consolidate my knowledge
:work: < me working on Biology 🤣

yeah physics so far is really chill- mostly calculations which i find easy as im good at maths and so far it hasn’t been that hard to understand. Will probably get harder and the application on questions could be hellish. But yeah so far its very relaxed from the point of view of not much content 🙂

I found it confusing at first as well. I'm pretty sure I still don't know all of the features :lol:

I'm considering using them as I only realised you could make online flashcards yesterday. How do you find it?

I prefer online flashcards to physical flashcards :woo: I find them really useful because they don't take up phsycial space and online flashcards also sort out spaced repetition for you (well Anki does, idk about other apps). I use flashcards as my main source of revision and I find it helps me remember content well :yep:

Sorry for the hiatus, i didn't post when i needed to the most 😓 this week was kinda busy and i didnt know how to balance the tests and posting here! but anyways:

this week overall:

Tuesday - Bio + Classics test
Bio - seemed okish
Classics - very, very bad, the odyssey question really stumped me 😓 how does homer make this an effective narrative? i honestly dont know

Wednesday
last period (elective) - MUN!! we formed a group of 10 bc no one wanted to leave to make it a 7 andd got given america :0

Thursday - chem + spanish test
chem (was tuesday, moved to thursday bc econ test and maths challenge) was ok kinda maybe idkkkk,
Spanish was not so good aaa i didnt revise verbs for anything other than the I form so struggled (that was my bad)

Thursday last period (free)
watched brooklyn 99 and friends w ppl who do econ but the teacher wasnt in so they had a free :smile: was pretty fun, wish we could do it more often but i rarely share frees with anyone i really know

Friday
got back bio! was wayy better than i thought but i still dont know what the harvard referencing system is and whyy was that one the test :unimpressed:


other stuff:

I read some articles in the nature journal :redface:

i alsooo started researching for bio competition thing?


to do:

finish bio comp research

bio hw

bio flashcards

science project come up with ideas

MUN america environment research (i chose to do american environment policies) (if trump was still up there they'd probably all be scrapped)


i thinkkk thats it, not much to do :smile:
but
i HAVE to finish my friends' gifts this week

i can't do that sunday because theres a celebration event, but ill do my best over the course of the week and tmw in the evening :biggrin:
then i need to wrap them and make a cardd
