today i'm off school with flu-like symptoms so i will be taking it easy, but staying on top of work nonetheless. (i hope). i normally only have a half day on a friday with 1 lesson and coursework time, so i am not missing out on much.
goals for today:

complete flipped learning for sociology as a science

revise circadian rhythms

catch up with today's lesson

Hi @t4kethis2urgrave

It's great to hear that you're applying to the University of Chester 🙂

You sound super motivated and organised, so we have no doubt that you'll smash your Year 13 goals!

If you have any questions about studying at Chester or applying to uni, or, if you're ever in need of a motivational pep talk throughout the year, let us know!

All the best,
Becky
