Day 16 of My Summer Studying Challenge
โจย 28th Julyย โจ How do you stay motivated to study during the summer?
my motivation is quite up and down at the moment actually but iโve just been trying to break down the tasks as much as possible and set achievable goals. but as well as this iโve been trying to take time to relax. thereโs also been some tasks that just generally iโve wanted to do more so iโve been way more motivated to do those than ones that just seem a bit boringย
I must admit, I didnโt do all that much today because I spent it chilling out with 3 of my most favourite people in the world having a sleepover ๐ (No, 17 years old is NOT too old for sleepovers.)
However, I did FINALLY finish my personal statement and send off my UCAS application to my referee - eep! I also read a few pages of Le Pรจre Goriot before I left and made myself a massive to do list for when I get home.
Luckily I have Monday morning to stay at home and work to make up for not using Saturday. But do I regret it? Nah. Iโm chilled :)
Me: The main problem isnโt necessarily the volume, itโs the dissonance
a neurotypical: if you have noise sensitivity why do you listen to loud music?
me: one loud noise is easier than 20 loud noises all at once.
Whiteboards are my favourite way of revising. To add a dimension of challenge and novelty, I often incorporate French and German into science revision. That way if I watch a video to revise, I know I wonโt switch off and automatically assume that I know it all just because itโs familiar. I actually have to listen and do something with the language to make sure I understand, because the content is being shown to me in a different way. It also kills two birds with one stone!
Plus I completely forgot how to translate Entgiftungsfunktion into English (despite the fact that I am English ๐) and figured that the German encapsulated it quite nicely. I just go with whatโs tidiest hehe
First day back at sixth form and first day of a new productivity challenge! I will honestly try to suck less at posting every day this time hehe
Because I have 4 free hours on a Monday before my first out of two lessons at 2pm, I got a lot done. I started out with some maths, but then my computer logged me off my digital books and it wouldnโt load again, so I ended up writing up some biology notes and then doing some chemistry - thatโs what you can see here :)
Although I am full of cold, it has been a good day all round! I found out I got an A* in my bio mock when I thought I actually flunked that test so hard.
We love tutorials! Photo is a bit bad but itโs late and I feel bad for neglecting this account haha
03/09/18 Chemistry notes! I finally understand the hype about Whitelines paper... I had to save up a fair while to buy any though haha
Edit holy shizzle 100 notes?! Thank you so much!
So today was dedicated to maths - I did an end of topic test and Iโm fairly confident with how it turned out. I also took time to chill out though - I had a lie in, watched a film earlier and am chilling out by finishing Lโinvitรฉe. I am literally 71.9% done!
Iโve been exhausted this week and I donโt want to burn out, so today is my day to take the foot off the accelerator and coast.
Tomorrow I plan to write up some more biology notes, finish some chemistry and run some German quizlets. I also have a Fluter magazine to read through to aid my research for the IRP, which Iโm looking forward to reading. Iโll then make some progress with maths in the evening and on Monday.
Happy weekend!
You know when you *should* work but you are having such a bad day you canโt? Thatโs me right now. And Iโm cool with that
The vermillion Mildliner is my favourite colour right now. Channelling those autumn vibes (despite the fact itโs still technically summer) ๐
The Cambridge bottle reminds me of my ultimate goal at this point in my life. Letโs go get it!
