07/09/2018 Biology notes in the local library!

I met up with a friend and we are having a very productive day.

Damn 😳

Sometimes you're just an introverted loser who sits alone in your room with a cup of tea and a book, has fantasies about morally grey fictional characters, is severely touch starved with a completely fucked up sleep schedule and slowly declining mental health.

After a much-needed month off, I decided to watch some chemistry lectures on YouTube to remind myself why I want to study this in the first place. I thought it would be a good idea to go right back to basics and give myself a rock-solid mathematical foundation to stand me in good stead for October.

If you’ve been following me for a while you might notice that this is not my beloved purple HP, but its sleeker, younger cousin - I retired that one and it is living out its last years with my mum. After 5 years of abuse, it deserves it!

I love bees!

save the bees🐝

6/10/19 Sundays are fun!

So I got a big tesco delivery and I made my first ever mug cake, which was HEAVEN! I also did a couple of small assignments and carried on with my summaries.

13/09/18 - 2/100 days of productivity

I make all my notes in advance of lessons (these chemistry notes are weeks if not months in advance) so lessons are revision sessions and I can just get on with practice questions. I can add to them in lessons if needs be :)

About me!

This is a little late but let me introduce myself. My name is Lauren, but most people nowadays call me Lozza (or some variation thereof).

I’m a January baby, born in 2001 and I’m an absolute nerd! I love learning and am curious about just about anything so I thought I’d finally join the studyblr community because I love it here!

I’m that one friend who is always spouting out obscure facts you didn’t realise you needed to find out :)

I’m taking my A Levels at the end of this academic year (2018-19) and I’m studying:

- Biology

- Chemistry

- French

- German

- Maths (self-taught)

with the hope of going to Cambridge to study NatSci and eventually specialise as a chemist.

I love languages as much as I love science and am also a bit artsy sometimes - I used to want to be an author and I love writing. Art, too! I also love horses and used to ride (I can’t anymore unfortunately - my wrists have given up on me 😂)

Organic chemistry is my favourite thing ever and I do play with molecular modelling kits for fun. I’m also always buying books (mostly in French and German nowadays) and I never. end. up. reading. them.

Anyway, I’m always down for a chat so my ask box is open 24/7 if you need someone to talk to or even just want to say hi haha

I’m always looking for mutuals so don’t be shy ☺️

I hope your studies go well and have a great day! x

Thank you so much! I appreciate that more than you’ll ever know xx

(I am still alive folks - I’ve got my German speaking exam on Friday 17th May and I’ve just done my French oral, which went fantastically!)

26/06/2020

My first year of uni has been over for an entire week now - time has flown! I have not been feeling particularly productive all year because of burnout. The other day, I decided out of pure curiosity to improve my maths skills. This is a big milestone in terms of my recovery - I’m starting to look forward to learning again :)

18/5/19

17 days until my first A Level exam!

Sorry I’m so inactive - I’ve just been getting speaking exams out the way for French and German.

French went amazingly; German not so much - but then my standards are very high so it will likely still get me good enough marks.

But now I can get stuck into my other 3 subjects! Not a fancy set-up this evening; just my favourite notebook and pens and my trademark cup of tea haha

I hope you are all looking after yourself during this stressful period - especially those who are taking exams, whatever level they may be at x
