Chemistry, Maths and English…Oh my!!

I’ve just finished chemistry there, moving swiftly onto Maths as I have a lot of catching up to do. Got up late this morning, in hindsight I needed it, I’ve been falling back into the whole late night thing that we teens seem to be infamous for, the last two night but to be honest I’m working too hard to sustain that with early mornings so tonight is going to be an early night for Amber. 😀 I find it hilarious how it freaks my friends out when I speak in the third person it’s just a quirk I’ve picked up since my driving lessons last year. “Gear Amber, left turn Amber…Amber don’t hit the house” Kind of thing :). I only did it then as I do it now as a way to freak out my friend who was there at the time and it’s just kind of stuck.

I’m in the process of deciding what not to study for this maths exam next week. We’re getting a whole paper one as we have that half of the course finished and are moving on to one of the many bains of my sixth year life, namely Project Maths. (I’m not a fan, but I’ll take the extra 25 points not a bother!) My summer result wasn’t what I was hoping for so I’m working to improve it this time round but despite my weekly 2hours devoted to it, I just seem to forget it all once I move onto a new section.

I’m going to try and do my english tomorrow. I’m freaking, it’s not that I’m not good at the subject, hell I want to do it in college. But that’s the root of the problem, it means so much to me that I don’t want to mess it up! I was just wrapping my younger cousins xams present…(yes I’m aware I’m freakishly organised, it’s been pointed out once or twice!! :)) I got her Hamlet for kids with a foreword on the modern Shakespeare genius that is Kenneth Branagh 😀 Seriously I love it more than she will (hopefully). She’s seven and getting way into books so I’m trying to nurture that and introduce her to Shakespeare from an early age. It also gives us something to do together as I’m so busy it’s hard to find time to timetable in colouring and make believe, as much as I genuinely want to. So now I can revise as I open up her eyes to one of my great loves. 😀

 

Ok now I really have to go learn integration, again aced the test a month ago in it and now I can’t remember the basics. The life of a sixth year, who’d want it!!???

  1. You are so organised and so motivated, I really admire that! I don’t know how you do it. I’m finding it difficult to get up and do the homework I got for the mid-term not to mind study… Really I honestly do admire you.

  2. Wow, thank you!! 😀 Im lucky in that i can motivate myself, the way I look at it is, I know where i want to go in life and Im the only one who’s going to get me there. I know its hard, believe me while english and history are a joy to study for me, the rest of the subjects are hard to really get stuck into. I trick myself with the sciences as there are loads of definitions…”I’m like ah shur all i have to do is learn that off and im done” and then once im sitting down with the book open i can ease myself into, well now that im here I really have to finish the chapter. Another motivator is having a friend who’s also dedicated to study, who you can turn to when your heads about to explode and complain or unload the doubts. Thats where some of the motivation comes from, that and my mom is higely supportive, as are my teachers and as Ive mentioned my friends. I appreciate what you said it really REALLy means a lot especially when what I like to call ‘sixth year guilt’ comes calling everytime I’m not staring at a book. And also I’m in no way perfect I bet your selling yourself a little short, and even if you are finding it hard to do the homework i dont doubt that your dedicated to the LC because your on this website, you could be on facebook but instead you choose to take control of the year alittle and get some feedback. That takes motivation just as much as opening the book does. Goodluck!! 😀
