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.

Story time! I noticed that the really pretty enamel pins you can get are REALLY expensive so I decided to buy some shrinking plastic and make my own! These are my latest designs, and they’re my most ambitious ones yet. I hope I can pull them off!
Hello all! Just been to Waterstones with my best friend reading, writing German essays and doing some mechanics.
Exciting news this week: I booked flights and a hotel for the 13th-15th January so she and I can stay in Berlin for my 18th birthday on the 14th! I’m so anxious but excited about it :)
I cannot wait to go back to school, but I am very nervous about my Cambridge NatSci pre-interview assessment on Wednesday (as if Halloween wasn’t scary enough without this!).
So this week I’ve been into watching MIT open lectures on YouTube and reading the fabulous book you see pictured: Endless Forms Most Beautiful by Sean B. Carroll. It’s about Evo Devo and I highly recommend this book to everyone remotely interested in the genetics/evolution side of biology.
Guitar cases make great makeshift desks when you don’t have an actual desk lol

So I got a big tesco delivery and I made my first ever mug cake, which was HEAVEN! I also did a couple of small assignments and carried on with my summaries.
17/09/18 I have to write a surprise essay on Wednesday so I’m revising quotes for themes in L’étranger

Today has been awesome. I had chemistry first thing, and then double German (my favourite class!), then I had some Galette des Rois in French and ended the day with Biology. No frees today but a really positive time all round :)
I’m sat doing homework now and I’ve promised myself I can watch a new TV programme that’s on later if I get it done haha
Transition metals are legitimately so interesting! I feel like I’ve got stuff done today.
Happy Tuesday :)
So my chemistry teacher just gave me a whole chapter of questions to do for Thursday. So my life will just have to wait until the weekend haha 🙃
Anyway, one set is done. I’ve had German with my favourite teachers today and also French with another amazing teacher. I missed biology because it was extended form time for SMSC today, and there was a guest speaker (I actually hid in the toilets for an hour and binged examsolutions maths tutorials because I knew I’d get into trouble). I hate SMSC so much 😑
Overall though, it’s been a good day. Apart from Chemistry, when I felt myself boiling over for no reason whatsoever. But we have this French teacher who’s visiting and she actually thought I was French, which is compliment of the CENTURY!
Happy Tuesday, peeps!
Also, Imagine Dragons’ new song “Bad Liar” is INCREDIBLE and I thoroughly recommend you give it a listen. Best part of today, honestly.
Maths is beautiful. Have a great day :)
