My head is literally about to collapse in on itself :/ Statistics and just maths in general tbh is not the oneeeeee (for me anyway 😂)

Summer Studying Challenge - day 11

🌞 Thu - What is the worst vacation you have ever been on?

ok so i’m back!! i have no idea if anyone even noticed, but i took a break for a week just because i didn’t feel that productive and i wasn’t doing much work anyway. but now i’m back on track!!

over the past week i’ve done little bits and bobs, including working on my WIT essay, editing my maths IA, working through my TKPPD, completing my physics IA experiment, and mentally preparing myself to write part of my chemistry IA and restart my business IA with a new topic (franchising to human resources stuff).

my WIT essay is getting there, i hope. i think i just need to add more evidence, stay under the word limit, not retell the story and actually be analytical, and make sure i don’t repeat myself.

my maths IA needs to have 2 more analyses done, 1 calculation which is on paper that just needs to be in a word document, and a conclusion.

and i just need to refine my PPD and make it all about knowledge and TOK analysis.

my physics IA needs to have the data organised better and the times need to be recorded. my chemistry IA needs to have an introduction done (same with my physics IA but that’s due a lil later on).

i’m feeling happier with my business IA topic because it’ll be easier to get information for and it’s more theoretical.

overall, i have a shit tonne of work to do but i am determined to do it all.

Before and after, still not done yet but I just made it a bit prettier haha. Like that’s the fun part of this whole statistics thing haha.

Summer Studying Challenge - day 12

🌞 Fri - What is your favourite vacation memory?

today i finally finished my tok presentation script, but i want to quickly go over it with my teacher just to make sure i haven’t missed anything (or if you want to read it message me and i’ll send it through). my actual presentation is on tuesday so i need to keep practicing and working on my powerpoint and PPD.

i did a business test today which was very chill - my teacher let us listen to music and wasn’t stressed about us finishing so she let us take the questions home to finish them for homework.

tomorrow i’ve got a spanish writing test and the CUEGIS part of my business test, which we are allowed to bring 100 words in to help us.

this term is almost finished!! only 2 and a half more weeks to go and then it’s done and i can have a lil bit of a break. tomorrow i should get my maths test results back and hopefully i’ll maintain my 5 that i worked up to last year.

today i left school early because i had a headache that made me feel like crap. i took a nap when i got home and my headache went away, so i worked some more on my maths IA and made an IA planner, which will have the due dates, structure, and criteria for each IA in one place. i might add in checklists so that i can track what needs to be done for my IAs.

over the weekend i need to work on my maths IA and an english commentary because both are due on monday. i should also edit my tok presentation and my business research proposal but they aren’t a high priority this weekend.

also lil quick side note: the next season of queer eye is out on match 15th and i am e x c i t e d.

today i got my grade back for my macbeth english commentary, which was a 6!! i also worked on some more of my TKPPD and my maths IA, both of which are going great.

tomorrow i’ll hopefully finish my physics experiment and keep understanding what’s happening in chemistry hl.

this weekend i am super busy. i’ve planned to meet with a friend on saturday morning, i have a netball game on saturday afternoon, and then i’m working on sunday. this weekend i definitely need to work on my WIT essay and chip away at all of my IAs but i’ve got almost no homework so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

today i got a lil bit of feedback for my TOK presentation and it was almost all good and i am very shocked. now i just need to perfect my PPD and then that’s all done and it’ll be onto the essay. i also started on my physics IA experimentation which is going well i think.

we started the chemistry HL content today and i need to watch some khan academy to fully understand it but other wise i need to be doing past papers to improve my skills.

the holidays are in 2 weeks and i’ve got my WIT essay and my maths IA due then, as well as a draft of my physics and chemistry IAs and my PPD. and maybe my business IA. in short, i have a lot of shit to do but i believe in me and i’m gonna do it.

also if anyone knows: what is the equation to find the logarithmic trend line in a graph? i’ve got the final answer from excel but i need to show manual working on my maths IA

today i finally found a real life situation to support a knowledge claim in my tok presentation. the real life situation is the (kind of) evolution of how the word ‘president’ came to have so many powerful and important connotations.

i made a massive to do list of what i need to get done in the next three weeks before the end of term and i hope i’ll be able to get through most of it.

tomorrow i’ve got my first business test and it’s on a seen case study that the teacher has basically pulled apart for us so i really just need to read over her notes and maybe make a few of my own.
