Another productive day! (04/03/21)

Due to Covid my exams have been cancelled for my A-levels. So things are being switched around and I’m now going to complete psychology coursework instead! I’m actually quite excited for it because it means I can apply my learning to any area I find particularly interesting!

But on today’s agenda:

• Psychology lesson- Research methods & Memory revision
• Geography lesson- Hazards
• Photography work- planning a couple of shoots
• Drink far too much tea (per usual)

I hope you have a productive day!!

Good evening! Day 3/100

I had all my classes today, which was quite exhausting. However, we are currently still studying Schizophrenia in psychology which is fascinating to learn about; fieldwork in geography which is confusing but important. I have a resit for geography tomorrow so I’m doing some evening revision for it (hopefully I get higher in the test this time).

My friends and I have decided to set up a study pair for upcoming tests and exams. The library is now open at lunch times so we have decided to work in there- we do have to wear masks but it doesn’t bother us that much. I did some more German vocab this morning on duolingo and decided to buy a new notebook to practise in! The more I’m exposed to the language, the quicker I’ll be able to learn it :)

Good morning! 2/100

Another day of studying psychology. It’s my day off today so I thought, “why not put it to good use?”. It’s currently only early but my plan is to get a lot done:

• Study psychology approaches
• Study coasts for geography
• Edit personal statement (for university applications)
• Write up exam style questions for psychology homework

It doesn’t seem like that much but it is to me haha. I didn’t post yesterday because I had a full day of classes, so I’ll count this as day two instead of day three. What are you studying?

Good morning!- 1/100

To kick off using this account again, I’ve decided to do the 100 days of productivity. I tried this once before and got to day 14 so my goal, for now, is to get further than that. I’ll be posting videos of me studying or just images I’ve taken throughout the day too, because let’s be honest we only follow study accounts for the aesthetics haha

As it’s a Monday, I don’t start sixth form until 1:30pm but I decided to wake up early this time. I’ve been trying to grasp a concept in psychology so I though giving myself more time to go over it is sure to help. I’ve got two classes today, psychology and photography. I finish at 4:30 so I wouldn’t get much work done after sixth form; better to do it in the morning!

Going back to school after lockdown☕️

• Hanging out with friends more but only outside of the building due to social distancing.
• Gathering motivation back up after losing it during lockdown.
• Trying to hide how excited you are to be back in the classroom again.
• Buying new matching stationery
• Adjusting to a whole new schedule
• Still having to do online work a couple times a week.
• Realising how unfit you’ve become over lockdown (walking up the stairs at school and getting out of breath).
• Remembering that you were unfit before lockdown anyway, you just haven’t had to walk up so many stairs recently.
• Failing tests but teachers letting you off because well, it’s Covid’s fault.

A morning study session on the floor, which in my opinion is the best place. I have a day off today- as I do every Wednesday- so I decided to go over some older biopsychology for a test next week.

Are you a study blog? Repost and I’ll follow you! I’m trying to find more study blogs to follow- mainly for motivation :)

Improvement:

At the end of each term I’m going to repost this with my grade for psychology. I did this test before lockdown (UK) in January and I just received the paper back today. I’m quite proud but I want to be able to get a B or higher next time :)

First day back to sixth form:

Honestly, the first day back could’ve gone better. It was strange as my whole college is now a one way system and you have to wear masks in communal areas (basically just the corridors). You have to book slots for the library when you used to be able to just walk in freely.

However, my timetable isn’t all too bad as I have Wednesday off each week! I had psychology and photography today, we briefly went over what we did in lockdown and started circadian rhythms in psych. I’m excited for this year, hopefully I can book enough slots for each week in the library :)

Honestly one of my favourite feelings is finally grasping a concept that you’ve been struggling with for so long. There is nothing better
