Hi guys! Mock exams went really well, got An A* in Politics and and A in English. Now just prepping for the actual exams 😭. It's been very busy and very stressful but almost the Easter holidays so I'll be able to work at my own pace which will be nice.

Hope everyone is coping okay, getting towards the end of the year now! Good luck to everyone with exams <3

Date: 7/4/22

Submitted my first exam! It was very stressful, four days of writing essays that I definitely didn't understand. I've decided that I much prefer coursework, I'd rather spend months working on an essay than panic over doing it quickly haha. That was definitely not my best work but I'm hoping that I've at least passed as that's all I need to do to get through this year thankfully.

I have one piece of coursework to finish and then an exam but everything will be done! Really looking forward to next term so I'm letting that keep me going.

Hope everyone is doing well<3

2nd December- What is your favourite thing about winter?

This probably isn’t the best answer but I love it when it’s the last week of winter term and all your teachers let you watch films. I’ve got some great memories of watching the animated Christmas Carol film in English a few years ago. Things tend to be more relaxed around this time of year. 

I’ve been very productive so far today haha. Spent almost 4 hours making notes on the last politics topic on the paper we’re going to do for mocks. They’re getting way too close now, just praying I’ve done enough work to get decent grades. 

Came home from school a bit early since I don’t have any lessons. Planning on doing a bit of self care then cracking on with a few more hours of work before I get some sleep, trying not to burn out right before exams hit. 

Actually got to walk to school in the snow today! It’s been ages since that happened! I was so caught up in it I was almost late lol. Sadly the sun came out and melted it all :(

Officially into term 2! Absolutely loving my new modules so far, so hopefully that will help motivate me to keep up with the work. Also managed to sign on to a house for next year which is such a relief. I was starting to get very stressed- there's a massive housing crisis where I live so there was a real chance we would end up with nothing. I've been working more recently as well which is tiring but nice. It means I'm less worried about money than I used to be though I'm also spending far, far too much on coffee from nero haha.

I can already feel the weather warming up but I'm still hoping for a little more snow than we got in December.

Lots of love<3

Happy new year everyone! My new year's resolution is definitely to post on here more it's been so long haha! Exam season is coming up, my first one is on Monday and I'm definitely not as prepared as I should be but I'm trying not to stress too much. I think I've gotten a lot better at finding a balance between studying and hanging out with friends, I just need to work more on having a routine next term. I've got plenty of time, I'm just not always using it very productively.

I'm so looking forward to my modules next term that I'm almost looking forward to exams because as soon as they're done I can start doing these topics that I'm super interested in.

Hope everyone's had a great start to the new year and good luck to everyone also doing exams!

Had a surprisingly productive day today! I really didn’t feel like getting up and going to the library this morning but I’m so glad I did because I got loads of work done. I’m definitely still very worried about mocks but it’s nice to feel like I’m doing something proactive to combat that, plus the walk to and from the library is always nice to blow off steam.

Hope everyone’s week started off well!

A levels are almost over which feels really strange. I only have 2 exams left and will be done in less than a week. All of my exams have gone surprisingly well though there are things I definitely wish I could have done better. I hope everyone is coping okay, and congrats to everyone who's already done with the school year!

It's almost summer <3

Hi folks! I’m just about back haha.

I really burned myself out over the last round of mocks so I had to take some time to switch my brain off. I’m really pleased with my results though as I got A*A*A. I’ve got another round in a few weeks so most of my time is taken up with that at the moment,

We’ve started a new book in English which I love a lot so that’s been really fund to work on for the past few weeks. Though admittedly it has been slow progress.

I got a really good offer from my second choice uni which I’m really happy about, but I’m still waiting to here back from my first which is very stressful. 

Hope the new year is treating everyone well! <3
