just read a quote which goes something similar to ‘if michelangelo had been alive today, he wouldnt have been painting ceilings, he’d have been making cgi films or developing 3D printing’ and i just imagined Michelangelo surrounded by hundreds of his incredibly gay statues, only in brightly coloured plastic, 3D printed form.
School just really sucks cause they take this wonderful concept of learning and discovering new things and just completely ruin it with the atmosphere of judgement and suppression of creativity and strict deadlines and basing your intelligence on a letter and wow you ruined it nice job
I wanted to make a revision printable for myself now that I’m in VCE, so I based it off the curve of forgetting in order to combat it. :) Usually I do a bit more revision than this, but I like use this sheet as a minimum for revision and also as a way to keep track of what to revise.
Here’s a downloadable link for anyone else who would like to use it too!
“Overcoming the Curve of Forgetting” Printable
HOW TO USE:
one subject per printable
tick boxes for what tasks to do each revision session (there are two blanks to add any other unique method you like to use)
sub topics to revise in each subject
a tick & the date in each box for completion
Good luck revising!

Believe in yourself. Under-confidence leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy that you are not good enough for your work.

16th october 2015 : i’m officially halfway through my first semester ! it’s been a long ride and i’ve gotten in 3/6 of my subject internal assessments for the IB and after the holidays, we still have a couple more to go, as well as my Extended Essay final copy and my first TOK essay draft due in ~ and on top of that, i have revision to do since we have a round of mock exams in 12-13 weeks time. probably one of the things i need to prepare for the most is Biology HL so here i am, familiarising myself with the concepts for dna replication/transcription/translation/gene expression and other key biological process. im going to be doing much more of this over the half-term holidays.
What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.

Regaining Focus
If you’re anything like me, this summer break has obliterated your ability to focus for long periods of time.
I have become so bad at concentrating that I can’t even spend 30 minutes reading the weekly publication I subscribe to.
So how do we go about combating this?
Practise.
Sit down with your work, or if you have none sit down with a nonfiction book or article.
Set a timer for 15 minutes. Most of us can still manage just 15 minutes but don’t be afraid to scale it back to 10 if you can’t.
Read for those 15 minutes and try to only pay attention to your work during that time. Know that soon you will have a break and you can check Facebook, Tumblr etc then. Reading in a quiet place will help.
When the timer goes off, take a 5 to 10 minute break to stretch your legs, grab a drink, check social media or whatever you like to do.
Then repeat the process.
Every few days add an extra 5 minutes to your work time.
Your concentration is a little like a muscle - it takes ‘exercise’ to make it stronger but in this case, your workout is mental.
Within a few weeks your focus will be as good as, if not better than, it was before.
For many of you school starts in about a week. You can make a lot of progress in that time so get to it and you’ll be glad of the results when the time comes to revise for exams!

3 Healthy Breakfast Ideas for school
Hello guy’s, so after some people asked me if I could post some school breakfast ideas i thought about my 3 main breakfasts. Because I’m a vegan they are pretty healthy and don’t harm anything but you can still put in animal milk etc.
1. Oatmeal • Oatmeal is my go to breakfast. I eat it nearly everyday because its so healthy, oats are perfect for your skin and your stomach etc. All you need is a cup of oats, put them in a pot, put water into till its a bit ober the oats, you can also use milk. • Put cinnamon, chia seeds ( wich are high in omega 3 ! And thats really great if you dont like fish ) some shreded coconut or and flex seeds, whatever you like ! I always use some more coconut bc of the flavor. You can also put some vanilla extract or chocolate poweder etc. • Cook it until you get a creamy mass, if you like it mlre liquid, put more milk or wather inside. • If you think that your oats are finished put it in a bowl, now the fun part starts, i always put some dark chocolate on too bc its good for the heart and its also really taste and it melts so fast ! Yum ! You can also use some peanutbutter… whatever you like ! • The next step is to get some fruits, because fruits haha ! I always put bananas, blueberrys, strawberrys, appels etc etc into it ! • Enjoy your breakfast !
2. Pancakes This recipe is so so simpel, fast and healthy. All you need is one banana, one cup of meal & one cup water or milk whatever you prefer. Mash the banana and put the meal and the water/milk in it, stirr it until it gets a creamy and clean mass. Put some cinnamon and baking powder in it; only half of an tbsp. You can also put some vanilla extract in it. Make little pancakes in the pan, if you want and have you can out some blueberrys in it, tastes super great ! Top your pancakes in the end with fruits, nut butter, chocolate, jam etc…
3. Overnight Oats Overnight oats are the same as cooked one, only that you dont cook them.Overnight oats are just oats soaked overnight that absorb the liquid you put them in – any kind of liquid you like! The most common mixture is equal parts raw rolled oats, milk. You can use any kind of yogurt or milk. Put in the fridge overnight and let ’em soak up the liquids. It’s the same in the next morning again, you can put granola, seeds, fruits, chocolate… whatever you want on it !
Enjoy your breakfast ! 📚☺
