Thirty First Of August - Twenty Nineteen

summer studying challenge, 16th july: do you have a lot of work to do for school this summer?

nope! thanks to covid we were able to start our new school timetable a month earlier than usual so as we’re ahead of schedule there’s almost no summer work at all :D

summer studying challenge, 17th july: what is the most important task you need to complete this summer?

probably applying for a stem program which i actually finished writing today so just need to do final adjustments for next week.

summer studying challenge, 18th july: what do you usually do in summer?

usually i go away with my family (sometimes abroad but mostly down to england or up north) and see my friends a lot. summers are my complete break from school time.

it’s been a few days since i posted due to family stuff and dealing with loss, so i took a break from social media for a bit. here’s my catchup for the summer studying challenge!

feeling this during lockdown, how am i meant to get validation if i can’t speak to my teachers???

boys complimenting me:

adulting is difficult, folks. but also kind of exciting sometimes?

26.08.2020 | 87/100 Days of Productivity | physics, coffee break, physics | the weather service said it wasn't going to rain anymore today, it'd even started to clear up, but it's pouring!

'Let n be an integer' Why should I let it? I don't think n has behaved well enough today to be an integer. Maybe if n behaves better tomorrow I'll let it be an integer.

here’s a little school update which to be frank is more for me to look back on lasted this year than for tumblr, but anyway

did my lab work and handed in my assignment reports for 20% of my grade in physics and chem! really happy with both of them.

got into the uni space programme for this summer that i applied for in january! really really happy making :D

things are getting lowkey stressful, with four weeks until the easter holiday and the threat of schools closing due to covid19. really hoping we don’t have to though.

did my coursing for next year and i am officially taking advanced higher maths, ah chem and ah physics. v excited to not do english next year but i will miss french.

i’ve been reading a lot this year and am currently on my 16th of 2020 (for reference in 2019 i read 18 total) which i’m really loving.

i got straight As in my prelims which i’m over the moon about, and got top of my year for physics chem and french (somehow) so i’ve got a sweep at the awards ceremony ;) i also have my fingers crossed for junior dux but i guess we’ll see in june.

in conclusion i’m a nerd and happy about it. s5 has been My Year so far.

Hey remember when US and Russia was all like “We’re the best!!! We’ve won the space race!!!!” But India sent a kick-ass space probe to Mars and the whole mission was fuel efficient, costed less and a roaring success in the first try and then they were like “…..wait no that can’t be true” and still have the audacity to call us “underdeveloped” or only view us as a ‘third world country’? :)

For anyone who needs more info, the probe was called Mangalyaan (which literally means space probe vehicle) or Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) and you can also get more information here and here
