HAIIII GUYZ QUICK UPDATE ^_^

i keep forgetting to post here because i have been in a slump recently but i am ready to get back on the grind now (hopefully).

academic updates from the past couple months !!

⚝ I got all A's on my exams !! (idk if i mentioned that already)

⚝ I applied to uni in early october. made my application to cambridge (MSci natural sciences), st andrews (MPhys astrophysics), manchester (MPhys physics with astrophysics), glasgow (MSci physics with astrophysics) and edinburgh (MPhys astrophysics)

⚝ I got unconditional offers to edinburgh and glasgow !! (unconditional means i could fail all my exams this year and still get a guaranteed place in the course, a conditional offer would be that my place is only given if i get certain exam results) and also a conditional offer to manchester (AAA in my exams including As in maths and physics)

⚝ and the super scary one, i got interviews to both manchester and cambridge 😰😰

i did my manchester interview last week and my first cambridge interview is TOMORROW and i also have one on friday

im gonna try to be more active on here because i REALLY want to get into cambridge lol. academic comeback starts TODAY !!!!

okii thats all the updates so far, still waiting to hear back from st andrews, but they probably wont respond until april/may. hoping to get an unconditional !!

if i stop posting again someone pls pressure me into getting back on the grind, i need the reminders

paper 1 of my maths exam done!! now just to do the calculator paper in about 20 minutes which im not super excited about because i am horrible with logs and exponentials 😭😭 i will hopefully be able to waffle my way through it though !

[chronicallyphysics]

like 12 hours after i posted this my house went up in flames. there went the maths revision i was gonna do that night 😭😭

hiii it's been a minute i lost ALL motivation and did hardly any studying until a couple days ago.

life update: i just sat the first part, reading and writing, of my spanish exam and i'm sitting the second (and last) part, listening, in around 25 minutes. i've been super stressed about this exam but reading and writing went pretty well and im just hoping listening goes well too!!

i have my maths exam on this coming monday which i've barely revised for so i need to lock in when i get home today lmao !! i'll try and be more active now i just fell into a complete depressive slump but we're so back (it was sunny today. seasonal depression??? whos she????)

hope everyone is doing well!!

2 exams (almost) down, 3 to go!

[chronicallyphysics]

about me!!

i want to make an intro to me !! and this blog

⚝ so i've made this studyblr blog to document my own studying journey and hopefully to start motivating me to study and fall in love with the process!!

⚝ i'm 16, scottish, and, as of last friday (19th april 2024), have just finished my penultimate year at secondary school, and am about to sit my exams for my sqa highers!!

⚝ my favourite subject in school is physics and i'm soon going to be applying to university to study astrophysics !!

⚝ i've been obsessed with space since forever, in my old house i even had one of my bedroom walls painted to look like space complete with galaxies and constellations so it's always been my area of interest and i'd love to use this blog to meet people whose interests align with mine or even study astrophysics and want to give me tips (would be much appreciated!!!)

⚝ other than physics, in school next year i will be studying maths and computer science, and this past year i also studied chemistry and spanish

⚝ outside of school, i've been involved in youth theatre since 2017 and acting is a big passion of mine and was my number one career choice up until recently. my biggest interests are music (music means everything to me), and cringe late-2010s stuff like dan and phil, homestuck, steven universe, sanders sides etc etc because i dont know how to move on from the past lmao

⚝ my fav music artists are my chemical romance, pierce the veil, OLD!!!! p!atd, hozier, tally hall, and just to continue the nostalgia theme, i also love the oh hellos, dodie, aurora and set it off and so many other artists PLEASE talk to me about music

ok i think i've waffled enough and gotten off topic lol pls be my friend if you have any of the same interests as me though, especially academically!! <3<3
