It is very common for schools to do both English Literature and English Language.

WEEK UPDATE :rave:
Monday:
Mock exam from 10:00-13:30
I had two exams, English Language 🤢 and Math paper 2😩
21:00-21:45 i revised biology with a friend, we went over a particular past paper that we thought would come up ( and omg it did!!) We did a CPG quiz and got half the marks as we ran out of time😭 (How many questions could you do in 10minutes if there are 50?) I watched some absolute beginner crotchet video ( its been about three days and omfg i still cannot make a square... ive gotten to like row three now but i might quit. i'm lying i cant quit its addicting) Yapped with a friend who has a sexy rasy voice and slept aroundddd 3??? idk

Tuesday:
Second time i woke up late for an exam? i think it was tuesday idk the days kinda blurred together atp.
So from 10:00-14:15, it was History and Biologyyyy ayyy
After that i honestly didn't do much maybe read a bit but thats it.

Wednesday:
10:00-14:15 again i had physics and english language 🤢
I decided i wanted to expand on my dumb ass creative writing piece i sent in because um why not?
Did i expand? No. It's sitting in a word doc waiting to be recognised.
Around 15:30-16:30 i had math tuition which was calm, i didn't really need to go over anything so i just went over some topics i knew. Um i finished a book someone recommended and it was absolute **** ( i will never take a book from this person again)
I feel like i did something these three days but can't really remember.

Thursday:
My two week mock had finally come to an end
i finished it off with three exams, business paper 2, math paper 3 and chemistry paper 2 10:00-15:15
umm i dozed off halfway between math not because i was tired i just couldnt rlly be bothered with the paper BUT i did finish it? i think. i dont remember but i think i did. maybe maybe not. Um after the exams i dozed off again for an hour then proceeded to sleep again at the dining table. Stayed up watching yt cuz thats productive. omg wait actually yesterday i did a little sqaure
of crochet but i didnt like it so i re did it and then i started struggling with the third row again.:woo:

Friday:
I dont have school on Friday ( i know, im so lucky :yep:) soo js waiting for my results ig not rlly fussed. Im gonna chill for these next two days and then lock in on monday again

Reading over this tbh ive been productiveish ish very little productivity but its still here? Nvm i havent rlly done anything😭

A lil segment i might do just for fun
Food for thought:
What's the point of saying sorry to a person who has already passed? Because of your own guilt? Or is it because you want to feel better and you want to make yourself believe the other person can hear you and is forgiving you? What is a bunch of apologise going to do for me when i am already dead?

@a.sol deciding to answer yr questions on here so u see i acc have a gyg
I study:
English Literature (aqa)
English Language (aqa)
Mathematics (edexcel)
Combined science trilogy (aqa)
History (aqa)
Business (aqa)

what do you study and why aren't you revising them and if you are how do you do it so i can follow

It depends what time you sleep and wake up. Personally my sleep schedule is all over the place but when i know i have a lot of work to do i wake up around 5-6 in the morning since it's more quieter and start revising. In the mornings i go over some mind maps i get from pmt or go on my school account and go over lessons. I then watch some videos (i'm not a visual or listener learner i cant concentrate like that so i read over everything instead but rewatching videos helps.) The time goes fast while i'm accomplishing work.
The best thing i do is attempt a past paper with no prior revision or note looking. It shows me how far i have to go if i wanna reach my target and it shows what areas i needa work on/ showing me how much i can remember off by heart. I mark it and then start attempting the areas i am weak at. Make notes, do some quizzes and after 3 days re-do the same past paper with one sheet of A4 paper that holds info. Only use one side and one page or you will not remember everything. Try not to use the notes unless you urgently need it. Mark it and label which parts you remembered by heart and which parts you struggled/ needed to look at the notes for. Go over the ones you did not remember and 3 days after, you attempt it the second time but do it with no help, no sheets, just you. This is good for subjects like math, science, business. Subjects that do not need written planning like history and english.

Now for written subjects i personally go over the text cuz yk its easier for me. Im not a planner i just write but you must always know how to structure your writing. What is paragraph 1 going to talk about, how can i link it to paragraph 2, do i need a conclusion, does this fit in this sentence. It's best to get a teacher to mark over your work because with more practice it becomes easier. For this you must watch videos. Some tips and tricks that can help. I'll write more but i gotta send this first BECAUSE U ARE SO IMPATIENT AND THIS WILL QUIET YOU DOWN FOR A BIT.

For languages cuz ik u take some, its best to grab some blue tact and cards. Place all the cards around the house labelling the objects or equipment yk and try find ppl who speak it so u can converse. Tbhh i dont do languages for school but i do learn some personally so this may or may not help

people apologise at funerals, typically because they wish they had spent more time with the deceased person but a person only has so much time to spend and they have to be wise about how they spend it.
i just think it's out of politeness though.

OH WAIT listen ok especially for science the mark scheme is your best friend. They can be so picky on what is or is not allowed so you need it
