A bit unorthodox, perhaps, in that I’m not studying today - I’m going to the University of Nottingham open day :)
I had an awesome day today! I have a new chemistry teacher and she’s really lovely, and straight after her lesson I had German, where we studied Der Vorleser. I had a free period lesson 3, so I edited my personal statement for the 500000000th time, and then in French I wrote an essay under timed conditions about L’étranger. And then lesson 5 was the genetics topic in Biology - I freaking LOVE genetics!
Right now I’m going over a load of flash cards for German on Quizlet and then I’m going to write up some biology notes and I might finish off some more German homework if I have time. If not, I have 4 frees tomorrow so I can do it then :)
I hope you’ve all had awesome days 😊
I’m having an awful mental health day. I don’t know if I’m worried about something or not... that is the beauty of depression. It’s been at bay for a while but I’m afraid it’s going to come back and I hate feeling like this :(
I just want a hug.
And to hear back from Cambridge. Anything. I don’t care if I get rejected, I just want to know.
Other than that, this morning was ok, and I got a fair amount done. It was my Maths morning today so I did a bunch of integration. Fun times!
Reblogging because this is some serious talent that needs to be shown to the whole world 😍

I had one lesson today - chemistry! We did a really simple practical for our official records which I am about to write up. I also got my maths mock back - 82/100, which is an A! I’m so happy!
Nothing can bring me down today and I’m feeling so productive. I’ve just done my German homework (as you can see, it’s about the EU 😭) and I have also done a load of Quizlet practice and admin for German.
I’ve also started reading Le Père Goriot by Honoré de Balzac, which my lovely French teacher brought back from her parents’ home in France for me to read!
Next up: filing away and revising French notes so I can be prepared for a mock speaking on Monday :)
Transition metals are legitimately so interesting! I feel like I’ve got stuff done today.
Happy Tuesday :)
Thank you for existing.
I feel like so many people need to hear this because this message is getting lost in the noise of dismal politics and the aesthetics of everyone else’s lives.
P.S.
You do not need straight A’s to be exceptional.
You do not need to spend 24 hours a day making aesthetic notes to be exceptional.
You do not need to have your shit together all the time to be exceptional.
You do not have to be in an amazing mood 24/7 to be exceptional.
There’s nothing like setting up a new bullet journal for the next academic year!
no matter how good things seemed to be going, you will feel sad or even numb again. it doesn’t cancel out the good things. the good things and good days will always be real, and there are more days like that to come.
BOOKS! The Cambridge MML library is amazing
19/09/18 Maths notes!
