Sooo this is the start of my blog I guess?? I'm not entirely sure where to start, but here goes:
I'm currently in the summer between year 11 and 12. I got my GCSE results two days ago (I'm very happy :) ), and next year I'm going to study maths, physics and chemistry alevel, and then self-study further maths (don't know whether or not I'm going to do the exams yet, it's a very long story). What else? I have a cat called Luna who is the actually scientifically the best cat ever (no, this is not up for debate).
Interests:
- Physics! (I'm hoping to do it at uni)
- Maths
- Reading
- Chaotic dark academia
- Marvel and Star Wars
- I assure you I do have other interests however I am very much blanking right now oops
I don't entirely know why I'm starting this. Partly for the *aesthetic* I suppose, mostly for motivation and holding myself accountable. As I'm typing this it kind of just feels like I'm throwing my thoughts into the total abyss that is the internet. Well that's about existential enough for one tumblr post. If anyone sees this, I hope you have a nice morning/day/evening(/life if you never see one of my posts again).
Casual Magic: I pressed some of the flowers I got for results day earlier, post incoming about them.
A-Level Results Day 2023:
Maths A
Chemistry A
Physics A
I’ve missed my firm and was let into my insurance by the skin of my teeth. My predicted grades was A*A*A. It’s been a long day.
Flower pressing 😊 and semi-aesthetic photos

Maths Pure (not an official past paper) - 75% - A
Chem Paper 1 - 66% - A
Physics Paper 3 - 35% - D
Exams start Monday woohoo :I but I only have pure maths Monday and then all of Tuesday off so time to cram
I really need to work on Physics Paper 1, I really want to be predicted an A* but I have done literally nothing to deserve it
Long story short: it’s 4:33 am, word count is 5143.
Word count: 3243
It’s 3:31am now and I am one can of Pepsi, 200 more words, another annotated article and an episode of Big Bang theory more into this mess.

Maths Pure - 76% - A
Physics Paper 1 - 48% - C/D
Chemistry Paper 2 - 65% -B
I’ve got my pure maths paper tomorrow and I’m feeling pretty confident so that’s a nice change lol. I did the physics past paper today and (not literally) nearly shit myself and (literally) had a mental breakdown which was fun. Anyway. B in paper 3 which ain’t great but I didn’t read a couple of the questions properly and if I had had the mechanisms memorised it would have definitely been an A. After tomorrow I haven’t got an exam until Wednesday, when I have paper 1 physics and paper 1 chemistry, so this week is going to be fun.
Confidence levels:
Maths pure: 9/10
Maths applied: 5/10
Chemistry paper 1: 7/10
Chemistry paper 2: 8/10
Physics paper 1: 3/10
Physics paper 3: 4/10
Physics Astro: 6/10
Chem paper 1 - 59% - B
I really need to revise shapes of molecules and equilibria, I think they were my weakest topics in this paper

I’m back with the shits, giggles and shenanigans. This time I’m going to post every grade I get, as I’ve started doing past papers for mocks, in the hope that the progress will be helpful I guess(?) idk. We’ll see.
Maths Stats - 43% - D
Maths Pure - 55% - B
Physics Paper 2/3 - 58% - B well it 0.7% off a C but I need everything I can get)
I’m worried but I reckon I can get this under control.
Woohoo

Physics Paper 1 - 63% - B
3% off of an A, yay! This was kind of a confidence boost ngl I though this would go the same way as the paper 3 I got basically a C in.
Maths Applied - 34% - D
I don't know for sure it's a D grade boundary but it's definitely a fail. So yhhh...
