And it's literally only the second day back

A-Level Results Day 2023:

Maths A

Chemistry A

Physics A

I’ve missed my firm and was let into my insurance by the skin of my teeth. My predicted grades was A*A*A. It’s been a long day.

Hello there.

Sooo this is the start of my blog I guess?? I'm not entirely sure where to start, but here goes:

I'm currently in the summer between year 11 and 12. I got my GCSE results two days ago (I'm very happy :) ), and next year I'm going to study maths, physics and chemistry alevel, and then self-study further maths (don't know whether or not I'm going to do the exams yet, it's a very long story). What else? I have a cat called Luna who is the actually scientifically the best cat ever (no, this is not up for debate).

Interests:

- Physics! (I'm hoping to do it at uni)

- Maths

- Reading

- Chaotic dark academia

- Marvel and Star Wars

- I assure you I do have other interests however I am very much blanking right now oops

I don't entirely know why I'm starting this. Partly for the *aesthetic* I suppose, mostly for motivation and holding myself accountable. As I'm typing this it kind of just feels like I'm throwing my thoughts into the total abyss that is the internet. Well that's about existential enough for one tumblr post. If anyone sees this, I hope you have a nice morning/day/evening(/life if you never see one of my posts again).

Casual Magic: I pressed some of the flowers I got for results day earlier, post incoming about them.

Word count: 4191

12:05 pm. I went to bed shortly after 3 this morning but yay made lots of progress after you remove the non-content parts I have about 3900 words, so today I need to write 600 words that can finish my essay and the conclusion (which I might just plan today and then write tomorrow). Very happy right now

Word Count: 3638

Oops I did nothing from the last post. It’s now 12:52 an and I’m preparing to write a lot before I go to bed. Just annotated a couple of articles, and now I need to find homes for the indicative info.

Word Count: 3440

It’s now 4:34 am and I’ve done another 200 words and annotated an article kinda. I’m not working very effectively so the only logical solution is Big Bang theory and a chocolate bar I guess. I’m feeling a lot more optimistic than I was when I first started at 1:21 am but not out of the woods yet.

Word count: 3243

It’s 3:31am now and I am one can of Pepsi, 200 more words, another annotated article and an episode of Big Bang theory more into this mess.

02/06/22

I’m back with the shits, giggles and shenanigans. This time I’m going to post every grade I get, as I’ve started doing past papers for mocks, in the hope that the progress will be helpful I guess(?) idk. We’ll see.

Maths Stats - 43% - D

Maths Pure - 55% - B

Physics Paper 2/3 - 58% - B well it 0.7% off a C but I need everything I can get)

I’m worried but I reckon I can get this under control.

Woohoo
