Sorry this is late - I had no WiFi yesterday at all! However, in my only free I made these notes on the brain :)
I hope you’re having a great week!
Happy Wednesday guys! I had a full day of lessons today. The routine is pretty much the same as Tuesday (and, as you’ll find out, Thursdays and Fridays too). Anyway, this is what my Wednesday looked like :)
06:45-07:20 Up, washed, dressed and out the house
07:35-08:00 Commute to school
08:00 German quizlets in the sixth form work room
08:30-08:50 Form time with my lovely bio teacher! Fun times
08:50-09:50 Chemistry ft a fun rant from my teacher (not really it scared me even though it wasn’t aimed at me!) about how we are all deluded if we think we are going to succeed by putting such little effort into things
09:55-12:25 Double German! (With a half an hour break in between, don’t panic). Half was spent studying Der Vorleser, the other half on grammar
12:30-13:30 French with my favourite teacher. I did a listening assessment and... not much else to be fair 😂
13:30-14:00 Lunch/ form competitions. I represented my form in skittle sorting with one hand. I won my heat but came in third overall so far. The rest of the forms play tomorrow. We are out of the running for the form prize but I did get the bag of skittles haha
14:00-15:00 Biology - the topic was regulating gene expression on the transcriptional level and I LOVED IT. What an amazing way to end the day!
15:40 Arrived home to chill out. Honestly I feel awful so I decided to take a break.
17:00 Tea time :)
17:30-20:00 Maths revision before I move on to A2 stats (ew)
20:00-21:00 A cup of tea for me... plus some Vick’s Vapour rub and paracetamol haha
Night all! I might do another of these when I’m not ill so you can really see my life - this is nothing compared to how I normally work. Yes it’s a lot but I have to plough through.
I quite like the combination of typing and then hand decoration. We are studying Das Leben Der Anderen in German and I’m making character notes. I’m going to move onto maths soon though.
I’m not having a great day, because my bus didn’t turn up and so I was late to school and very stressed this morning - I plan my day to the minute to stave off my anxiety and if it doesn’t go exactly to plan I can’t help getting upset. However, I have taken steps to calm down and I am being quite productive!
Omg how is ur writing so good
A lot of it is finding the right pen, honestly! I have at least 10 styles of handwriting I can switch between and not all of them are neat. When I’m taking my class notes with a biro my writing is disgusting 😂

Thank you to @marie-curie for nominating me! Right then, let’s get started! Oh, and Happy New Year’s Eve haha
29. I kept a diary of what I read. It’s a pathetic total but it’s more than I’ve read in a year before AND I’ve been super busy so I’m quite proud of that :)
Werner Pfennig from All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. He’s such a bright spark. I freaking love this book. It’s like the only fiction book I’ve read in English in two years!
I don’t watch TV as a rule but actually I’m quite into Grey’s Anatomy and Doctor Who.
To read more *English-language* fiction! And also to start learning to code. I’ve wanted to for a while
Brace yourselves, this answer is quite long. My most recent has to be Scared of the Dark from the new Spider-Man soundtrack (yes. Yes I did go there haha). But then we have:
High Hopes by P!ATD
On Fire by Loïc Nottet (please give him some love omg his voice!)
Almost all of Maître Gims 2018 album Ceinture noire. La Même is THE best thing on it though.
Max Giesinger’s album Die Reise. All of it.
Hier mit dir by Wincent Weiss
I am literally incapable of reading anything in one go or quickly. It takes me days to get through a couple of pages nowadays haha but I guess the fastest I’ve read was L’invitée. And we all know how long I was reading that xD
No. I have got to have absolute silence or I can’t focus on the words haha
I don’t have one :)
Oh my God there are so many! But I guess my top 8 would be (in alphabetical order):
Australia
Austria
Belgium
Canada
The Czech Republic
Luxembourg
New Zealand
Norway
The hippogriff! I love eagles and I love horses and the hippogriff is a very handsome, very powerful mix of both.
I have had a blast this year, and I am a completely different person now to how I started the year. I’ve grown up a lot from having to travel solo and made some fantastic friends. I’ve really gone out and made memories for the first time in my life. I reckon among the highlights are my time at the summer school at Cambridge University and going to London with just my friend from school. We were sat in Five Guys not having a care in the world. And we went shopping and I let my friend dress me haha
I can’t neglect my best friends of course - the sleepover I had with them a couple of months back was so much fun!
And I guess all the times I have laughed. Including my friend’s birthday, where I tried VR for the first time.
So those were my 11 questions. I hope I haven’t bored you too much. I’m now going to nominate:
@myhighschoolstudies @anatomyandcappuccini @cyclicstudies @etudaire @freckledstudy @psychologyhermione @pianoandstudy @nic-biostudies @a-study-in-letters @helianthusstudy @patriotstudies

26/08/18 - I decided to try out my new stationery on some chemistry notes in preparation for the next academic year. Roll on Year 13!
Hi aus Deutschland!🤗
Und hallo zurück aus England! :)
Nah nah nah it ain’t the genders that get you, it’s the cases. I used to chant them in my head but sometimes it wasn’t in my head and people looked at me like I was the girl with the knife.
*demonic chanting*
der die das die
den die das die
dem der dem den
DES DER DES DER
What a week! I’m exhausted!
I’ve been mainly reading today, because I wanted to be productive but didn’t really have all that much to do - for once! I am going to have a day of maths on Sunday to make up for missing my mentoring session this week, but I’m still going to take it easy.
But right now I’m researching for my IRP in German, ft. the new book I ordered which got delivered today. So far, so very interesting! I can’t wait to reach a conclusion :)
Happy Friday, guys!
Well fam, 6 hours of solitary confinement and two exams later I can say with 100% certainty I will not get A*s in German or Maths ahahahaha
Lauren, 22 - England - chemistry PhD student - studyblr - English, French (fluent), German (B2) - original and reblogged content - nice to meet you!
