tuesday, 28 nov

sorry for not posting, i have been studying — the only slacking done is not taking photos and not having anything to post lol. got the whiteboard out today, decided to try something different to keep me going insane. but good news — i got an offer from exeter for marine bio which is my firm uni choice, and i’m sooo happy! i literally am so excited but the thought of actually sitting my exams makes me feel ill. someone pass me the brown bag they always conveniently have lying around in movies so i can throw up

5hrs and 15 mins on forest timer today! ﾟ𐦍༘⋆

What monster woke up one day and decided to make the UCAS character limit include spaces?

Cambridge university should accept me bc who else can provide such an in depth thesis on why trossard should start every game

They should invent a UCAS application process that doesn't feel like being in a Saw trap

I could not know how tomorrow looks like, the mood I’ll get up to or the people who’ll talk to me. I could try and guess, shoot my shot and make a try. see what happens next and plan nothing. I could not know what the next few seconds hold for me, but I perfectly know what’s going to happen on this day in a year. I woke up this morning and felt my heart skipping a beat - 18th of october. a date that just a year ago meant absolutely nothing to me. a still meaningless day for most people out here. and yet, in a year, today, I’ll have sat down at a desk and got nearer to my future. in a year, today, all the studying, all the efforts I’m now doing will partly be put down on paper and sat aside for a month or two, closed in a drawer no one knows about. part of my future will be determined by this day in a year. what a responsibility! shivers down my spine thinking about it. there’s still so much I need to do, not enough time to do everything and to be everything, but somehow I’m managing to cope with it, get through it and work well on the fundamentals. building up a future for yourself no one, with a few exceptions, knows about is hard and overwhelming and it makes you busy. but, gosh, the satisfaction will be worth it all.

Day 4

Not going to the trouble of doing 10 steps today unless I really feel like it when I get in to it, it's almost 1am at this point.

So here we go.

“Learning HTML Forms by Building A Registration Form” Steps 36-41

36 and 37 had me struggling to read the instructions because they're just written in such a janky ass way,

38 was tedious as hell, just kind of a bore to get through.

Step 39 and 40 were pretty nice.

Looking at Step 41 as I write this... something tells me it's gonna take a while.

I was write, that did take me quite a few minutes. But that's it for the night, let's do some tangentially related updates.

Today I had my first math test of the year, and... god it was not great... I had to use a quadratic, but quadratic form or the quadratic formula were not on the formula sheet provided, so I had to come up with it from memory, and I kept thinking it was ax+bx^2+c, when in reality it's ax^2, but I did manage to get that in the end.

What's less than ideal is that the last question of the test said "Try this if you want a 7" (for a context a 7 is like an A+), and I didn't get time to do that, which really sucks because I really wanted a 7 on this. But it's okay I guess, there's nothing to be done about it, I lived, I learned. I think I am getting better at math though, and feeling better about doing math, which is great.

Today I spoke with my dad about university, and he totally backtracked on the conversation that we had about it a few weeks ago. He's now saying that I shouldn't apply to colleges in the States, and just focus on the UK, which makes my life a whole lot easier, but maybe I should be taking on challenges (such as doing university in America) but I'm not too sure about. I'm gonna take the PSAT in October and proceed accordingly based off of that.

That'll be all for tonight, I'm going to bed. Love y'all.

i dont know how to word this but it's been on my mind recently. context: i moved from a pretty generally bigoted school in a more working class area to a more progressive one in a very rich area for sixth form.

now, the main difference i have noticed other than the glaringly obvious ones are my own emotional expression. it's like ive gotten worse in an environment that's so unconditionally forgiving and welcoming. at first i sort of put it down to me being shy and needing time to open up as i got more friends but it's been over a year, i have really solid friends and i still have a worse time than other people emotionally expressing myself.

i think that at my old school it meant so much more to have someone you could be comfortable around and a lot of us had similar less than average backgrounds so we had that other layer to bond on. but like here everyone is so "you can always come to me to talk" and although the sentiment is there it isn't the same.

like today for example i was talking about how i got an email that i should apply for a scholarship bc im likely eligible for it and i was trying to complete my application during lunch. at the same time my friend who is so lovely but is a bit blind to our class divide is going through her photos to Just Me showing me her family and i have to keep saying give me a moment i need to sort out financial information for my education.

but like even though all these people ive met, bonded, CAMPED, been to pride, gotten blackout drunk with, i feel like there is a subconscious blockage in my brain that refuses to let me open up to them and be truly vulnerable. and i feel like it's class related even if there's not a real logical reasoning behind it.

this whole post is kind of a rant but also not really. just experience ig. feeling really disconnected from my peers post-ucas because of the class divide becoming so much more obvious. people talking about crazy work experience, volunteering abroad, talking to oxbridge advisors that are just friends with their parents, etc. showed me how different my experience of getting into unis will be and how difficult it's going to be in life.

UCAS will be like 'Your personal statement is for us to get to know you as a person 🥰 write about what you're like as a person and why you would like the study the course you want' and then have 100 abitary rules like 'Make sure your introduction catches the readers attention by mentioning a personal experience! But also don't make it generic with a personal experience!' and 'Make sure you mention your relevant hobbies and what you like to do! But don't link everything back to what you want to study otherwise you seem too keen! But also don't mention anything irrelevant!'

#Hell. Hell on earth #I'm so glad for the people next year who won't have to do it cause they're scrapping it #But god I hate doing it. Wahhhg #Why meeee #UCAS #Android.txt

why is writing a personal statement so difficult

i asked my favourite teacher today if she would write my reference for my ucas application, in a few months time, and she said yes!!! i will be the first person she has ever written a ucas reference for, too, which is really exciting, and i’m really happy that i asked her to do it. :)) she’s going to get another english teacher who has previously been a y13 tutor, and written many references herself, to help her out a little to give her a starting point, but i have my full faith in her that she will do a great job with it! she knows me better than any of my teachers, so i know that getting her to write it for me will be the most accurate and personal to me.

i’m very happy :)
