Ok but do you ever get that one moment where you’re totally at peace and having the best time with no worries in the world, but all of a sudden you become aware of the imminent end of this perfect moment and you start thinking about it as a fond memory that you’ll recall on your death bed in (what’s hopefully) a very long time and get all melancholic and nostalgic for the present?
How were you allowed to take 5 subjects? My school only let's you take a maximum of 4 and most people are encouraged to drop down to 3 subjects after the first year.
That’s normally the rule at my sixth form, too. Originally I was taking 4 subjects, and then I decided that I wanted to pursue chemistry instead of languages - and for that I’d need maths. I asked the director of sixth form if I could self-teach and just be entered for the exams - and he said yes, because I was too stubborn to take no for an answer haha
Organic chemistry is addictive torture
We love tutorials! Photo is a bit bad but it’s late and I feel bad for neglecting this account haha
Maths is beautiful. Have a great day :)
Trigonometry.
I moved into the University of Birmingham yesterday and met my lovely flatmates! I’m very excited to finally have a proper desk to work at - I have graduated from an almost-three-legged coffee table and an old pouffe :)
It’s a bit of an adjustment but it’s a lot of fun so far and I think things will turn out just fine. I love love love my campus; it’s so pretty!
Hi all! Back at it again with the biology notes - this time it’s the adrenal glands ft hand-drawn diagrams. This is actually really interesting stuff and I’m loving A2 biology!
So I’ve written a German essay, answered a bunch of questions based on an article and have also done a bunch of French homework, and it’s only the first official day of half term! I had a pretty restful weekend but I did at least one task just to keep busy.
I think tonight I’ll read Le Père Goriot and then maybe get a couple of pages through Genes. And I’ll go to the shop and get some milk because otherwise I can’t have a cup of tea and I’m desperate for one haha
Omg 😍😍😍

Me: OMG YOU HAVE TOO MANY BOOKS! READ THE ONES YOU’VE GOT BEFORE BUYING MORE!
Also me: *sees a book on Amazon* Oooooh that looks interesting... let’s take a cheeky peek... oh, shit. I put it in my basket. Oh, double shit. I accidentally paid for it. With next day delivery. Well, it’s mine now!
My resolution: to get this account more active next year! In all seriousness, 2019 was a complete upheaval of everything I knew and wanted, full of salutations and goodbyes in equal measure. It brought me new friends and experiences but also new anxieties. I’m still working on feeling comfortable in this world and I have a long way to go but I’ve come so far. I am proud of myself - and I wish it didn’t sound so arrogant to be able to say so. So what if my A levels weren’t quite what I was gunning for? So what if the university I am attending isn’t the one that filled my childhood dreams? So what if the course I am pursuing isn’t the one I maybe should have chosen based on my personal talents? I’m happy and learning so much every day. I can’t wait for 2020 and I hope it brings you all good things as my super supportive followers.
Me: The main problem isn’t necessarily the volume, it’s 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.
