Thank youuu
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

Oooo the obstacle course sounds exciting 🤩 I'm sure you'll have fun and regardless you've pushed yourself to try out something new

Fair enough with Maths lol 😂

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

Pure definitely
Applied is too much like physics and stats just doesnt make sense to me 💔

Yeah i like pure too, stats i enjoy but i dont like the exam questions cos maths shouldn’t have so much writing. Mechanics is evil :banghead:

Heyyy
Homework:groovy:

organic task 7

pure exam question

applied set of questions

independent investigation 2 sections


Extra work :groovy:

diverse places revision

stats revision


Other:groovy:

we have an acitivty day on friday which is exciting

last year I did volutneering but this year I'm doing gardening with my friend as my enrichment activity

I hate the independent investigation so much 😭 - I'm glad I only have one coursework subject unlike some who have like 3 but I'm just so clueless on it

maths is no longer fun - I think the novelty of actually learning stuff has worn off lol now its boring and difficult again but oh well

I'm confused with my NEA as well especially as my teacher never signed the CRF.:cry:

Heyyy
So I havent posted in a while - I keep meaning to then get distracted soz lol
How is everyone doinggg

Homework :groovy:

biology 2 essay

human geography 12 marker

pure 6 trig questions

inorganic finish bhc question


Extra work:groovy:

edit personal statement second paragraph

photosynthesis and respiration revision


Other:groovy:

so we had start of year tests two weeks ago (partly why I havent posted in a while) and they weren't great. I was definitely disappointed in some of my results and this was the worst report I have ever gotten but I didnt revise properly for these so I know I need to lock in. I got ABBC (geo,maths,chem,bio)

on a more positive note I managaed 37/40 on pure maths and the three marks I lost were such silly mistakes so I definitely couldve gotten full marks in that if I had time to go over and check my answers lol

so many of my friends have their birthdays coming up soon and I am so bad at buying gifts so thats jsut extra stress yay

ok but despite all the stress of year 13 there are still good bits and like I'm still loving the whole experience 😭

Good luck for your ps! What are the unis you are considering (as I remember you wanted to do urban planning)
That's fantastic score on pure maths! Atleast you know it wasn't your best and if you just move forward and implement changes it will all work out ml xx
Some gift advice (from my own experience) make something if you have the time or gift them something practical that you know they use or would like e.g. I gifted my friend a new purse in her fav colour (as her purse was falling apart and she wanted to have things in her fav colour xx)

Great, busy but great 💀

Congrats on the 37/40 🥳 Sorry to hear your results weren't what you hoped for, it's definitely not the be-all end-all! Plus now, you have a reference of topics you need to go over which is helpful for progress.

The gift giving is relatable lol, I usually just ask them what they want.

I'm glad you're still enjoying Y13, definitely make the most of this year where you can!

Good luck with completing all your homework and other tasks!

Superpowers is actually a very interesting topic but I really hate the carbon cycle that we're doing in physical. Its definitely one of my least favourite topics but oh well. How's it going for you?

Just started Population and Environment in Human Geography which is really interesting (it's basically food insecurity, disease, migration and population in one topic). The agriculture stuff we did in our previous lesson wasn't as interesting though. In physical geography, we've just started Hazards which I'm also finding interesting. We've just done what a hazard is and hazard models (Park and Hazard Management Cycle) and we moved onto plate tectonics yesterday.
What is Superpowers? Is it global governance (IGOs/NGOs/UN security councils) , hard and soft power?
The Carbon Cycle is the worst topic in Geography except the climate change stuff.
