My Weird World

Hey Guys Better late than never - here are a reflection on my exam period goals, To read the original post, click here:  Things to do over the exam period 1. PASS     It was nice to return to the magic of Harry Potter. I definitely read the book a lot faster than the     previous times. However, I noticed that there were parts of the book that I had completely     forgotten about so it was lovely to read those bits again and let my own imagination take over. 2. PASS (ish)     Okay, so this one was going pretty well. However, I realised that it is quite boring to read the     screenplay of a movie you have already seen multiple times. I ended up sicking the DVD on and     reading the script whilst listening to the movie. Oops. On the bright side, it did mean that I read it a     lot faster and I finished the book in one sitting. 3. PASS (only just)     I finished reading this b...

Hey, Guys! For me, it is now the summer holidays! I am really proud of completing GCSEs and I am definitely looking forward to an exceptionally long summer. Check out my other blogs on GCSEs here:  GCSEs 2017 | Week 1 ,   GCSEs 2017 | Week 2 . GCSEs 2017 | Week 3 . As always, the text in  italics  will be quoted from my journal. Monday English Language Paper 2 (AQA): Section A wasn't too bad for me, Section B was very dodgy. Managed to squeeze a Sherlock reference and Emma Watson quote in. Tuesday Maths Paper 2 - Calculator (AQA): Started easy. I actually had to make sure that it was actually a higher paper and not a foundation. That it went downhill and went stupidly hard. Not sure how to feel about this exam. Wednesday Chemistry Unit 2 (AQA): Great 6 marker. Surprisingly good paper, despite what a lot of people have said. Crammed right before we went into the exam and it helped so much! History Paper 2 (OCR): Good exam. Stayed on tim...

Hey, Guys! If you would like to read a synopsis of the first week of GCSEs, you can read it here:  GCSEs 2017 | Week 1 , my synopsis of Week 2 is here:  GCSEs 2017 | Week 2 Again, the text in  italics  will be quoted from my journal. Monday History Paper 1 (OCR):  The first half of the paper (Medicine Through Time) was brilliant. The questions were nice. The second half (American West) didn't go as well. I had to completely guess the last couple of questions. Tuesday English Language Paper 1 (AQA):   I understood the source:-). I stayed on time and wrote right up until one of the invigilators said that time was up. I think it went okay. Wednesday No exams. Finally got my prom outfit today. Had a massive conversation with my mum about politics and stuff and stayed up really late. All in all a good day. Thursday Maths Paper 2 - Calculator (AQA):  I thought the exam went really well. I left the exam feeling confident and proud...

Hey guys, Well, this half term has been interesting. I have taken a break from revision and have got out f my house a bit more. I have visited family quite a bit and have genuinely enjoyed myself. I have done lots of reading too which is a good thing. I have even had a sleepover round my best friend's house. It is important to have a break. Two weeks of GCSEs can be pretty tiring which is why my main focus this half term has been relaxing. I have started meditating again - I have re-downloaded an app that I used to use called 'Calm' (not sponsored.) It feels good to spend even just 10 minutes a day concentrating on my breath and really switching off from the world. Also, to anyone who has been involved in the Manchester and London attacks, my heart goes out to you. I am so proud with the responses to these sickening events by the British public. Respect goes out to all those people who have been strong enough to continue with their daily lives and to those who w...

Hey, Guys! If you would like to read a synopsis of the first week of GCSEs, you can read it here: GCSEs 2017 | Week 1 The text in  italics  will be quoted from my journal. Monday English Literature Paper 1 (AQA): The Macbeth question wasn't too bad. It was about the theme of ambition (which is a pretty easy theme, I think). I think I wrote a bomb-ass essay for A Christmas Carol. Tuesday Textiles (AQA):   The textiles exam I thought was great. This was strange because I have never been very good at textiles and I pretty much accepted at the start of the year that it could be my worst subject. But, I finished 20 minutes early. That kind of scared me a bit. RE Unit 3 (AQA):   The last 6 marker was dodgy and I kind of had to make it up. But as for the rest of the paper, the questions were really nice and it went well. My hand died - I wrote 10 pages of A4 in 1 hour 30 mins. Wednesday Physics Unit 1 (AQA):  This again was a good exam...
