_, Academic Weapon Challenge Day 16 ˎˊ-

|| Sleep: Slept in till 9 again

|| Routine: I washed my face, stretched, had a drink of water and I'll read a bit before bed [6/6]

|| Deep focus: I cleaned both my rooms. I was supposed to clean the bathroom also but I'll do that in the morning tm

|| Body: /

|| Mind: Gonna do a bit of reading, is all

E told us today that my school allowed a student back in who has failed. It's so so unfair! They of course dropped the subject they failed but were able to chose a double-award one. That's 4 ALevels instead of 3!! If they failed before how would they not fail now with the extra pressure?? And maybe they are capable, but why give only one student this opportunity?? Plus that student will also have 2 ALevels and 3 AS levels because of it which is not right because everyone should have 3 ALevels (± with a BTEC). It's so stupid.

_, Academic Weapon Challenge Day 4 ˎˊ-

|| Sleep: Good sleep. 7+ hours

|| Routine: I'm making miniscule progress. woke up maybe it was around 8? 7:40 maybe? But I turned my alarm off and sat up but then I just laid back down and kept moving my alarm for another hour

|| Deep focus: I made more notes for physics 🖊, got 2 chapters done today

|| Body: I walked one of my dogs and it stated to rain half way through so we ran most of the way home (still got absolutely soaked tho! It was very fun however to run in the rain like that) and later I did 15 pushups and some pushup-planks (I don't know if what I did is actually a thing or not, probably not 🤷‍♀️)

|| Mind: I'll put down the writing notes for this too as I did do it to keep myself and my mind busy as I was feeling quite low beforehand.

Also post apocalyptic guitar does wonders for focus and keeping your thoughts down. This is the second 2hr playlist I listened to from the same channel and I absolutely love them. // 🍊

༻`` 9 Feb 24 — Friday

Today was my last day before mid term break!!! I've got a lot of homework and notes to do plus coursework bit I'm quite excited to start it.

Today was a half day and I went to town with some friends for lunch (had some bagels) which was really fun and I came back to school to help with an A Level options evening which was also surprisingly fun.

I started reading over a chemistry textbook today and read a bit of my book. I did feel overwhelmed with a situation that will happen in the future but for now I'm chosing to worry about that later, and am focusing on getting back some structure, discipline and good habits.

Oh and also!! I got an A in my chemistry class test!!!! My other class tests for math and physics were C's and D's (coming from someone who got A's and A*'s in her GCSE's) so this was really relieving and gave me hope for my studies.

Calling all science students and enthusiasts!!

I would absolutely love to have a science-revolving passion project and I’ve narrowed it down to a blog/blog-type-website. I love learning about science but so rarely take the time to actually research the things that interest me. With being a high school student, exams and life this is quite a big task to handle for 1 person and I’d love others to contribute to this!

This is by no means a set plan yet, I’m just sharing a rough idea, so if you could please interact with this post or dm me if you would be interested in something of this kind. Even if you see this 5 months after this was posted (and hopefully a working project or at least WIP) still reach out if you’re interested.

You don’t have to be a great writer for this either nor fascinated about each and every science. My favourite is chemistry, but it would be nice if this project could incorporate the 3 main branches of science: biology, chemistry and physics. It depends on if people would be interested in reading something like this or participating in, and their preferred subjects. You could write about astronomy as a whole, or go into chemistry and analysing electronic configuration, talking about your favourite dinosaur bones in palaeontology, a passive behaviour analysis in psychology, or explaining how exactly scabs work in biology. These would probably be short to mid-length entries and 1/2 times a month.

But this is just my idea and how far I’ve gone with it, feedback is appreciated, there will be more updates to come (not too many until afer my exams in May tho), and I appreciate any reblogs to share this idea with others!

Hopefully a couple people would like to help out in this project and please ask questions if you have any (as a dm or ask) ^^

༻`` 20 Jan 24 — Saturday

A very up and down day for productivity. I'm learning more about discipline and questioning my AS subjects further. Didn't read today. And I've got a headache so I'll finish the work today here.

༻`` 11 Jan 24 — Thursday

Quick one before I get into the shower. Did an hour of maths revision and I started the homework but I'll continue to work on it tomorrow morning. I also finished all my physics notes (finally! 🥹)

My evening turned a bit productive because I ranted to my friend (it was good for the both of us) and now I'm feeling much better and she dropped an amazing quote in the middle of that I want to share with youse:

I'm didn't really follow my time blocked schedule today and I think it's good, it can help you be really productive but I think I'll be using it more as a guide than a proper schedule. Oh and we got talked to a bit more in school about in-person work experience, haven't gotten an email back yet from a company, but my dad got talking to his dentist today so I think I'll be going into there (not technically formal work xp) for the day. (Also dentistry does require biology as an ALevel which I don't do and the fight is back from when I first picked my subjects almost a year ago.. oh well, I might not like it anyways or do it in my 40s if I really still want to 🙃)
