these are some of my new tombows that i’ve bought recently, i got them individually but it appears to be more worth it. this week has been very productive and tiring but that’s what happens when prelims are around the corner(practice/mock exams). i’m quite proud of myself for studying everyday or so, i’ve had some break days such as today. if you’ve got any tips for reducing tiredness during studying let me know!

Today is a big day! I’m going to see dodie in glasgowwwwwww yayayayay! I got these pastel highlighters last week from WHSmiths and they were surprisingly cheap, about £6.50, which is a great price. Next week I’m going back to school as our October holidays have come to an end and I still have to finish some homework aaaa. A muji haul thing will be coming as I was in London this week!

Just completed and submitted the final version of my Extended Essay !!! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° 

So I compiled lists of words that I found super super useful in making it easier for me to finish any essay !! Here is a masterpost of some sort with transition words + key vocabs grouped together for easy access as well as an IB IOC ‘cheat sheet’ I used for my english LAL orals last year (though most commentaries follow a similar structure so its generalisable) ~

Good luck with your essays !!!

… oops just realised I forgot to bullet point one of the lists

this months setup was quite different for me as I moved my habit trackers to their own separate page. this means i have no idea what to do with the remaining page which is blank. if you have any ideas about what i could do, mention them to me? today in maths we’ve been doing optimization. the teacher said that it is one of the hardest topics in the course but i was able to understand what was going on! woo hoo! this week is also the last week of term before a two week break so I’m quite excited for that.
