28/09/18 - 17/100 Days Of Productivity

Can we talk about how hard it is physically and mentally to take exams with IBS that won’t quit. Would not wish it on my worst enemy - I am exhausted and all I could think about for my six hour stay in solitary confinement was how much my stomach hurt

Happy November!

It’s a beautiful time of year to recognise that you are a BOSS who is worthy of success x

Notes —> Revision

I love whiteboards. They make me feel smart!

This was an intro to inorganic solid state synthesis and was essentially just a bunch of information that was handed to us. It’s rare that this type of thing happens in a chem degree... we are normally far more problem-solving than that. This reminds me more of GCSE or A level where we had to know a bunch of advantages and disadvantages for different processes and describe how they work. Hated it then, hate it now!

I am a Cambridge reject

Do you know what? I don’t even care. I did about 5 seconds ago, but it’s my birthday and I am in Berlin and this is nothing more than a minor setback. I’m going to have a good life wherever I go. I am going to firm my unconditional from Birmingham - at least the trains are nicer.

Congratulations to all who got in - I am so proud of you. And to those who didn’t - I’m proud of you too. We are just as good as those who got in x

How were you allowed to take 5 subjects? My school only let's you take a maximum of 4 and most people are encouraged to drop down to 3 subjects after the first year.

That’s normally the rule at my sixth form, too. Originally I was taking 4 subjects, and then I decided that I wanted to pursue chemistry instead of languages - and for that I’d need maths. I asked the director of sixth form if I could self-teach and just be entered for the exams - and he said yes, because I was too stubborn to take no for an answer haha

2/2/21 Thermodynamics

They call it physical chemistry because it makes people who study it cry physical tears haha 😭

It does give me an excuse to use my favourite colour pen on my whiteboard though

(The green highlighter shows equations that only hold under constant volume; the pink shows those under constant pressure; the yellow is for other key equations)

Omg 😍😍😍

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

25/10/19 Der geteilte Himmel

So after 5 weeks, I’ve succumbed to freshers flu. Which is torture because I’ve had three back to back lectures in the same room from 10am this morning and I have another lecture at 3pm and my throat feels so scratchy!

I’m going to take it easy this weekend and eat the many tins of soup I have stockpiled in anticipation of this situation. And I’ll read my German :)

11/3/19

I’m really happy with how today has gone. I’ve had two hours of French and an hour of Biology, and then started these notes in one of my frees

Happy Monday 😊
