day 012/100 of study!

< 02/02/2024 >

Hey all!

I’ve done two past papers since we last talked :) a chem one where I got 77% and I bio one where I got 82%. It’s all about getting things wrong so you can get it right later. I’m hoping to have these at a 90< soon!

I’ll catch up on all my maths homework tonight and start working on my chem and maths - those are my worst right now. ESPECIALLY maths LOL 😭😭

I haven’t had much time to read yet, so I’ll try and fit some in either this weekend or in the half term.

[goals]

✔️ understand mechanisms (maths)

✔️ print (?) and do a maths paper

✔️ lower screen time!

mock countdown : 67 days!

a little update!

Its been a while since I’ve spoken on here, so here’s some things I’ve done since I’ve last posted 🫶

• completed my gold DofE 🌟

such a big achievement for me. all volunteering, skill learning and my expedition done! here’s some photos of my week away on the river 😋

it was so stunning but defo a lot of hard work, between the rowing and the weather, but I was with all the right people which just made it so much better! with my DofE also comes the physical skill, and I’ve managed to absolutely smash my personal best with 7.2k in an hour!

very proud, and I know it’s not perfect but I’ve come a long way and I’m going even further ⭐️ I’m planning to smash forward and sign up for a half marathon in the coming years and I’ve truthfully found love and peace in running!

• published an article 📖

I published a medical article in a magazine! it took a lot of time going back and forth between editing and submitting, then receiving feedback and submitting more drafts. But I did it! I’m so proud of myself and I know I’ve got so much more ahead of me!

• accepted to study (temporarily) with Cambridge 🎓

I haven’t been accepted into Cambridge (yet 🤞), but I applied for multiple of their extra courses (Apply Cambridge, Gonville & Caius Reading groups, CIMR reading research) and have been accepted into all of them!! I’m incredibly grateful to have all of these opportunities and I will take on and learn for my future. thank you again cambridge!!! 😍

• Work experience and volunteering 💕

When I last updated this studyblr, I was really struggling to find some clinical work experience and volunteering placements, but I’ve now got some experience in a GP and some in a hospital nearby planned for later this year. A nearby care home has also offered to take me on for a few hours a week and again I have never been more grateful for this. I might not have been locked in before but I 100% am now!!! 🙏

mock countdown : 46 days!

This has been crazy... 100 days straight of work and constant study and it's brought me so far in life and studies. This is gonna be a little reflective post of how this series has impacted me and why it has been so important to me since January of this year.

PROS!

constantly kept me up-to-date, it was like my little public to-do list on my life and what I needed to do in the day

a little diary! whenever I felt terrible for not doing any work, I'd sit and write an entry for this blog and it made me realise that all this work allowed me to have a break every now and then

MOTIVATION! Giving you all a little update on my life motivated me that little be more everyday to keep striving and doing my best

CONS :(

It's easy to get sloppy, there was a few days where I really started to lack and drag behind, but I always wrote down what I did so that I could write it a couple of days later

OVERALL!!

I have absolutely adored doing this series. It has made me so much more confident, happy, self aware. I am so much closer to myself and my studies and I am so unbelievably happy because of it. It's helped me commit more to my work, find what I love and enjoy work.

If you are looking for something to keep you motivated - this is it!!

In terms of the future, I will continue to post every now and then, and perhaps start again in the next academic year! I will be constantly updating studies, posting blogs on my life and continuing to write reviews for books, etc. I'm looking forward to posting my introduction post once my notes for subjects are updated :)
