So I've been back for a week now - I meant to update earlier but I was busy at the weekend
Year 13 is hectic already and there's so much homework but I'm trying to make sure I have time for revision each day as well
Homework
•
Biology 1 - 2 questions
•
Applied maths - challenge 8 mark question
Extra work
•
energetics notes
•
mass transport notes
•
globalisation notes
•
applied stats
Other
•
My timetable isn't great this year with loads of doubles. All the people that dropped a subject last year have a lovely timetable but I still have a very full timetable
•
One good thing is that both my maths teachers are so much better this year. I genuinely come out of every lesson knowing I've learnt something and know I actually think maths is really interesting so I'm glad I didnt drop it
•
Me and my friend made an agreement with each other to keep up both motivated with revision and its been working since 1st September
•
The new year 12s are so annoying and theres way more of them than there are year 13s so they take up all the space and we are left standing which is annoying
•
I've done a first draft of my personal statement and am just adjusting it here and there and then hopefully this weekend I will get my cousins to have a look at it then maybe in October I'll book a meeting with my reference writer

with everything. My timetable is OK this year (everyday except Thursday I have 2 out of 3 of my periods being lessons and on Thursday I have 1 lesson)
That's great to hear about maths.
There are definitely more Year 12s than Year 13s. My tutor group is dominated by Year 12s. Even more confusing is one of the Year 12s in my tutor group moved to my tutor group and they have the same name so every time I hear their name I start answering the register as no one has ever shared the same name as me in a class until now.

Tbh I'd even be happy with 2/3 lessons - some days I have 6 lessons which is painful. I have no idea hwo we did it back in secondary with 5 lessons everyday
Oooh thats cool to have someone witht the same name as you I guess you'll figure out a way to distinguish between u soon

Gardening sounds so fun as an enrichment activity, I wish my school offered that!
Enjoy your activity day 🙂
Sorry to hear maths isnt very fun at the moment, what topics are you doing rn?

I'm going into year 13 in September and if year 12 was anything to go by there won't be a dull moment
. I'll try to remember to post more regularly as I really slacked off last year 
Good luck to everyone for the academic year 2025/2026 xx

That's fair with the independent investigation 😂 I had a girl in my CS class who did both Geography and CS and the courseworks overlapped timing wise and she did not like it 💀
Sorry to hear about maths, is there a way to make it more fun for yourself? Idk whether your study buddy does maths too but you could quiz each other and winner gets something

For some odd reason your tag for me isn't working, which I find rather unusual 😕
So real about maths - I just admit I have a toxic relationship with that subject in particular and keep asking myself if I should have done sociology for something similar😭

Thank you!
It is quite fun but tbh I didnt even know my school had a garden before this because it was jsut an overgrown area at the back of our field but now its beginning to look a bit more manageable lol
We just finished functions and started trig functions today (sec,cosec,cot) and we're doing forces and friction in applied which I am actually understanding tbh

For activity day I've chosen an obstacle course thingy - its so far out of my comfort zone lol but hopefully it will be fun
Omg yesss one of my friends in my class does 3 coursework subjects and I do not envy him at all
Icl since my last post I've started liking maths again 😭soz guys ur gonna get a lot of me going back and forth on this tbh. Its a major love/hate relationship and I just cant decide lol
But yes he does also do maths so maybe that could work

Ah thank you
Oh - I'll try it again next time hopefully it should work
Genuinely tho maths and chemistry are such toxic relationships - I keep thinking i should've swapped to econ at the start of year 12 but theres no point thinking about that now lol

Glad the gardening is going well 🙂
Do you prefer stats, applied or pure so far?
