I’m not dead (yet!), although after my maths exams I’d like to be 🙃
I’m mad at the paper (Edexcel pure maths paper 2) and I’m even more mad at myself - I didn’t have time to think and overcome the obstacles that presented themselves so I came out of the exam facing the possibility of getting less than 20% and just realising my mistakes and how to do some questions. I was upset. There were tears.
HOWEVER, what’s done is done and I know that whatever letter I get at the end is not representative of my abilities. (I’m talking I might get an E or a U when the lowest I’ve got in my hardest mocks was an A... yeah it was bad.) I have done 7 exams and have 6 left. 2 of them are today, 13th June, the day after my most horrific exam yet - I have to pick myself up and move on.
I can do maths. I have learned so much that will be helpful to me in the future and that’s the main thing. I am 100% not stupid and I am ready to kick arse in my last exams.
Also a word of advice: don’t try to revise a whole module of biology the night before your exam. According to my mum, I woke up with a manic look in my eye xD

Today was fun! I had a reasonable time doing some electrochemistry in the lab this morning. I then did some painting as a means of procrastinating doing post-lab work this afternoon

Hi all! Back at it again with the biology notes - this time it’s the adrenal glands ft hand-drawn diagrams. This is actually really interesting stuff and I’m loving A2 biology!
So I’ve written a German essay, answered a bunch of questions based on an article and have also done a bunch of French homework, and it’s only the first official day of half term! I had a pretty restful weekend but I did at least one task just to keep busy.
I think tonight I’ll read Le Père Goriot and then maybe get a couple of pages through Genes. And I’ll go to the shop and get some milk because otherwise I can’t have a cup of tea and I’m desperate for one haha
I wrote a letter to my uni friend today. Along with it, I sent her some homemade star confetti, a list of music and films I was enjoying (she shared her playlist with me first and I thought it was a cute idea), and a handwritten copy of my favourite Brecht poem, since we met each other in German class. I hope she likes them as much as I do.
14th - well today has been long. I had an applicant visit day to the uni of Birmingham, which was so much fun - until it came to getting home. I was supposed to be on a quarter past four train to be home for half seven. It is now ten to seven and I am waiting another 30 minutes for the final leg of my journey home to start after standing for 2 hours on a packed and very late train. I should arrive at my finial station at nine.
It’s not the staff’s fault necessarily, but we were turned away by a staff member when our train was actually boarding, so we missed it.
HOWEVER I did get to make good progress with Selam Berlin! And I got to play with sodium alginate and calcium chloride, and experience a lecture on why transition metal compounds are coloured.
I did my German catch-up work on the train to Birmingham, too. Now to make some important emails!
We love tutorials! Photo is a bit bad but it’s late and I feel bad for neglecting this account haha
Welcome to the studyblr community, Nat 😊
hi tumblr !! i’m a new studyblr :) my name is nat, i live in england and i’m in year 13 studying maths, german, economics and politics 🌻 i want to be the prime minister someday and i thought making a studyblr would motivate me to get the grades :) (A*AA yikes) any support is appreciated SO much and i hope someone will pls be my friend 🦋✨
Wow, these days are going fast. Almost 20% of the way there already!
Today was fairly boring in terms of what I did - I started the day with two of my three lessons: Chemistry (wherein we didn’t do much - just revision on benzene), Biology (test on the kidney), and then I had my friend pick up a McDonalds because I wasn’t allowed to leave and she was. Cheat days are ok if they are once in a very very long while 😂
After that I had German (character analysis on Hempf in Das Leben der Anderen). All while sipping on a strawberry milkshake :)
Then I had an hour free, which I used to do a review exercise in maths.
This evening I decided to take advantage of the fact that it is Friday night and chilled out. I’m not over-exerting myself right now because I don’t want to burn out, especally while I am still recovering from illness. I’m slowly but surely making progress with Le Père Goriot, and I am falling in love with the descriptions in this book.
Hi all! So November just decided to defy the laws of time by not existing haha
Time to get festive!
But first I have my Cambridge interviews on Tuesday 4/12/18 and then the week after I have mocks. So lots of revision up ahead, on which I have already made a start over this week as you can see.
Sorry for my absence this week - been busy having a breakdown over how incompetent my school is at organising things. However, I’m okay now!
Lauren, 22 - England - chemistry PhD student - studyblr - English, French (fluent), German (B2) - original and reblogged content - nice to meet you!
