Toirese's Year 13 GYG <3
Hi everyone! 
My name is Toirese and I'm in year 13! I figured I should make one of these so people can hold me accountable for not revising, so here I go!
School Info
For my A-Levels, I'm studying Classic Civilisations (OCR), Drama (OCR), and Sociology (AQA). I'm currently predicted CCC, but after my next set of mocks it might be a BBB.
At GCSE, I studied the core subjects (all higher), RS, Drama, Geography and Spanish (Foundation). I got 5s in everything except RS and Drama, where I achieved 7s.
Goals:
- I want to revise more effectively and more often
- I want to obviously pass all of my exams
I want to gather a following on social media of people similar to myself in terms of interests and stages in education.
Post-18 Plans:
- I'm looking at Bordens College of Creative Arts for a foundation year in Performing Arts as I want to go into acting.
- After the foundation year, I'm thinking of doing an apprenticeship in marketing or events.
About Me:
- I'm neurodivergent
- I love theatre and perform on a stage frequently
- I'm a bookworm
- I love playing D&D in my spare time
Started: 19/09/2025
To Do List for this Month:

So my progress from yesterday:
✅Start working at 11:00am - rewrite any old sociology essays I previously got half marks in (1 hour )
✅write 2 10 markers on the Aeneid (45 minutes including
marking both)
✅read example answers for Live Like Pigs and House of Bernada
Alba. (30 minutes)
I didn't do as much as I planned to do, and I planned to end at 5 but didn't end til 9 lol. Obviously I did still revise at the end of the day but I'm a perfectionist with ADHD so life will never go my way.
Drama Paper 1 this morning and Classics Paper 1 this afternoon!

Drama paper was certainly interesting! I found it a bit difficult but overall probably a 5 or 6/10
Classics paper was also hard but more of a 6.5/10
