Gigi

Hi, my name is Georgie and I’m a 17 year old A level student

I study

A level history

A level politics

A level classical civilisations

This is going to be my study blog with my high mark work being posted as well

I’m also a big book nerd and I love literature so much it hurts

Ok so I’m back trying to motivate myself for my Oxford entrance exam and also for mocks which are in November (which is so scary) but I’ve been frantically doing all of the CLAT papers I can find and tbh it’s not going well, the only thing motivating me is knowing if you get a middling score you can still bring it back in an interview and I think better out loud

Feel like I’ve done nothing but study for so long but really I haven’t done much work, kinda been stuck with my school revision and dealing with my completely messed up timetable.

Officially off school for a week now which I’m glad for, I need the break but also need to catch up on all my homework that I’ve got piling up

Got 18/20 on a Greek theatre test which I will post, always annoyed that I can’t get full marks but hopefully it will change soon

One of my teachers is leaving so my whole timetable has changed and will probably have a complete change again at some point which can be really frustrating, I’m glad to have a qualified teacher of course but having to deal with the change halfway through the years means I’m going to loose track of things A LOT knowing myself.

Clearly January was a bad month for work, I really focused on my social life which probably wasn’t the best idea as exams are now approaching fast and I don’t know that much, revising history today for my exam on Tuesday, wish me luck

First day back at school so not feeling the best hate having to get up early again and haven’t really done any work over Christmas at all

Politics homework already!!! But I have a free day on Saturday so planning to do it now so I can keep that sacred, really trying to lock in to my Latin work as I need to work on my work before entrance exams

Finally have all my exams back and my grades got A*BB which I’m not the most happy with but in comparison with other people I can’t exactly complain too much

19/20 in my Iliad test so I’ll post that hopefully it’ll be helpful to some people I was really worried about this one I thought I’d be pretty terrible so for it to be good I’m really happy

That’s about it, it’s the end of term so nothing else is really happening I’ve barely had any lessons and I haven’t really done any work

Said I was going to go a lot of work today but got reading a book and couldn’t put it down so nothing got done

Yesterday one of classics teachers told me I averaged 90% over my 3 exams so I’m happy about that but maths isn’t my strong suit so I can’t work out what I’ve gotten on my last exam

I’m going to try and do some work tomorrow but honestly I’m too exited for Christmas and will probably also just end up reading

Got my classics essay back 18/20 pretty ok with the results top of the class so can’t complain too much this time my AO1 was 10/10 and my AO2 was 8/10 so I think it’ll be easier to bring up as I find the plays much more simple to reference I’m still waiting on a perfect essay

Need to catch up on the work I missed yesterday this virus going around is so terrible

Have to work on presentation on the 2015 election still salty I can’t do 2010

Got my Sappho exam back 29/34 which I’m happy with

3/4 on the first questions

9/10 on the second question

17/20 on the third question

My essays seem to be stuck at 8/10 on my AO1 so I’m going to try and just introduce more evidence and keep making sustained judgement throughout

Also analysed 2 poems which I thought were really interesting and beautiful
