one of my friends said its behind like ten of our folders so hopefullyhopefullyhopefully
at least my teacher didnt tell me off though because she cant find hers either 🙈
but yeah i kind of definitely need that book sooo

yap no. 2: dt
i believe i ranted about my dt teacher and the recent feedback from a few days ago already so im not going to say it again
but yeah so she DIDNT end up absolutely cooking me in todays lesson? although she did say to be up to date by next lesson 😬
but yeah i mean honestly thats good because it means i cant procrastinate more than i already have 😔🙏

yap no. 3: computing
I HAVE A PRE MOCK??? AT THE VERY START OF NOVEMBER TOO?
AND ITS ON JUST THEORY SO IM ACTUALLY COOKEDDD coding is the only thing i can do trust
but also what the flip i man ig its good that we have a pre mock but also GET ME OUT OF HERE

yap no. 4: SEND HELP IM DOING MY GCSES THIS YEAR!!!
i think im actually going to go INSANE one of these days
atp im just waiting for the four day weekend we get (which is unfortunately right before my chemistry exam so yay! 🎀)
okay im going to crash out
i remember those days a few years ago when i just went dilly dallying about like "oh my gcses are ages away" and then i turn the page of the book and oh no! its like my favourite character died and i've just been introduced to a whole new world of TORTURE
but its worse because i like studying but i hate doing it for exams like why cant i do my own tests when i want to and for whichever subjects i want to? like no i do not want to do a spanish speaking exam but yes you are forcing me to

yap no. 5: add maths
okay what the flip is factor theorem like i understand how to do it and all but wdym i have to GUESS the first factor if its not in the question? why isnt there an easier way?
ugh
also found out that the mock for add maths is in APRIL??? THE SPANISH SPEAKING EXAM IS IN APRIL. WHY IS THE ADD MATHS MOCK IN APRIL

lmaoo yeah sorry i just realised i posted this twice 💀
for some reason last night my original post didnt appear when i edited it so i just put it as another post but now i can see it?

yep! i found my macbeth today in the place my friend thought it was 🙏
but my teacher still hasnt found hers which is way worse since i need her annotations because mine definitely arent getting me anywhere (i suck at annotations so bad)

frr i mean i dont really remember binomial theorem since we havent done it at school yet, but i remember from my tuition that it takes forever and is increadibly boring
also idk maybe thats because i didnt realise we're allowed to use calculators and tried doing like 434 x 683 x 249 or something like that (i ended up doing the calculation right but the actual numbers i was multiplying together were wrong too)

FRRR like girl just leave these poor brothers alone atp

i mean the computing department at my school is made up of only two teachers and theres exactly ninety people (half of the year group) taking computing gcse soo

I'm sorry but pre-mocks are wild- not in an offensive way or anything but it's just the fact there's more exams to do. 😭 How many exam seasons do you roughly have then? We have three every year so I have one in November and February where we have a month to prepare for two weeks worth of exams and then obviously the final thing in May.

Reply 72

Also, two classes with two teachers is so relatable lol. Except we only have one this because our other teacher left.

no its actually crazy though but at least theres the october holidays which is like two weeks anyways
but i was kind of hoping to spend that time on my actual gcse spanish speaking mocks but ig that's at the end of nov/start of dec
apparently the pre mock is 1.5 hours long so they make us do half of it at lunch??? idk the other teacher told her class that but mine didnt

we have random tests whenever for different departments all the way until maths (so like evry week theres probably at least one)
then mocks in the first two weeks back after january
and then the actual gcses

omg im so sorry i didnt see this yesterday i dont think it came up on my phone?
but yeah the english tuition was okay, we're moving onto macbeth now so i can have some extra practise at it before my school exam
yep got the chem done but the test was pretty easy i probably couldve walked in having done no revision at all tbh

the chem today was lowkey easy??? i mean it was only twenty minutes because they think we cant handle a full forty minute one but idk the q with the highest number of marks was a four marker which is nice but also just weird
but yeah idk that probably means the mark scheme is super harsh (as always)
the only one i most likely did not get right is when it asked about why heavy fuel oil has a higher viscosity than kerosene? i kind of just yapped about how it has a longer chain which means it has stronger intermolecular forces which makes it more viscous but i have no idea (it was a 2 marker)

i got 19/20 in my spanish vocab test
i thought escrito meant i write (yes ik thats escribo but i blanked) i literally wrote down writer at first and then i changed it because i thought writer was escritorio (and yes i realise now that that means desk) 😭

**✿❀ ❀✿**

to-do list:

WASH MY HAIR (!!!)

dt nea product analysis edit it all redo it all change it all 😔

dt nea thumbnail sketches + upload

dt nea finish initial idea cad 1

spanish unit 6 conversation question 2 edit + type up

yeah so this is probably not all getting done today but i put them in order of priority with the top being most important and bottom being least important soo
