first blog (hope this fits)

hii. i'm paolo. born italian, only ever spoke italian at home so my only exposure to english was through media and school. i took gcses in june 2025 (plus 2 9s in
maths and further maths in june 2024) and am currently waiting on results. i started studying in april 2025; had never done so before then for any subject (unless you count coursework), and never even listened to teachers until january 2025. i took trip sci, comp sci, spanish, eng lit+lang, music and ocr fsmq this year. waiting on results, hoping for all 8/9 except fsmq bc it only goes up to a but i'm really nervous because i want to get into cambridge and like what if i failed everything? i've been trying to get into better study habits ever since i realised that what i did was nowhere near enough, and i'm currently studying chapter 9 of year 1 core pure further maths, have finished a level maths (got 94% in 2023 series past paper) but i'm nervous i'm still not doing enough for my other 2 a levels (plus the one i'm not taking but will be unseriously studying; chemistry). idk what i want out of this post. i think i just want to have it down somewhere. ty for reading ig

How are you doing this week Paolo? Congratulations on your amazing results by the way!

i'm doing great, just finished studying core pure 1 and 2 and i'm gonna go over it again over time to get a really good understanding before doing step ii and iii

That's great, glad to hear it! Any nice weekend plans?

going out with a popular girl i've liked for ages so i'm really stoked, and i'm playing a football game on sunday, first game of the season

How did your date go? I hope it went well! How are you getting on with school?

I fumbled the date pretty badly. I met a girl at my new school who I thought I liked more so I told the other one I just want to be friends and cancelled the date and later realised me and new girl are incompatible so... bad choice on my part and I made things worse for everyone involved but at least I'll learn from it. Getting on great with school as said in other message.
