y12 gyg 𝜗𝜚 ࣪˖ ִ𐙚 study journal (goal: oxford)

Hi! Welcome to gyg 🙂
Im also in year 12 (feel free to check out My GYG if you want) and I study Biology, Maths and Physics plus im doing an epq starting next week!
Your own novel sounds really cool! I wrote a novel when i was younger- about 300 pages in the end but i was still proud of it, never published though.
Wow straight 9s is amazing! Best of luck achieving your predicted grades!
What’s your favourite subject atm? How have you found year 12 so far?

This is incredibly helpful, thank you so very much! I’ve read Maria Dahvana Headley’s feminist translation of Beowulf.
