Some Voltage Divider Worked Examples Because They Confused The Hell Out Of Me

my grandparents went to a little bakery in st. andrews and picked up fudge donuts !!

27th march 2020

was being all productive rewriting my higher physics notes (seeing as i’ve no set work until after easter -_-), but then i got onto fission and started raging about how undercredited lise meitner is, so now i’m in a state of feminist rage about the severe lack of women in stem and particularly physics. happy friday!

my tips for doing highers :)

(seeing as there are v few scottish studyblrs and highers are bloody difficult!)

(for non-scots, highers are exams we do in between gcse and a-level equivalents)

understand, don’t memorise. this applies to basically every class- if you understand why you do a certain method to solve a problem/ conjugate a verb/ analyse a poem then you can do it in every scenario

prepare to get stuff wrong. there is a significant difference between national 5s and highers, and most people i know took a confidence bump at the start of the year because of the sheer quantity of work. it’s okay!! it’s all learning and all learning is good

work with the right people. i sat with my friends in maths and desperately wish i hadn’t because i worked way better with people who actually challenged me to work hard! find people who are a similar level to you and work together

past papers. there are dozens of past papers online, far more than national 5s. watch out for content that isn’t in courses anymore! dunblane high school’s website has a great collection of past papers that i used loads

have time off. the workload in s5 is crazy so you need to balance your time. use any study periods to finish work and give yourself relax time in the evenings and at the weekends as much as you can

prelims are important but make sure you don’t burn out. as soon as you finish prelims you’ll likely start learning the next part of the course, and i know from experience that it is horrible to do when you’re completely exhausted after prelims. schedule days off into your prelim leave when you can!

i hope that helped somebody because s5 was a really difficult year for me and i wish i had known some of this at the start! if anybody happens to want tips on a particular subject, i got As in maths, physics, chem, french and english and would be more than happy to tell you what was helpful for me!! <3

summer studying challenge, 22nd july: what’s your dream holiday?

i would love to go to iceland one day, partly because it looks like such a beautiful country but also because i’d love to see the aurora borealis!

$57 can i get a life?? PLEASE can i get a life???

this one’s for the boring people

'Let n be an integer' Why should I let it? I don't think n has behaved well enough today to be an integer. Maybe if n behaves better tomorrow I'll let it be an integer.

powering through some physics revision while listening to ‘come from away’ before i retire for the night and watch some himym :)

i be like *doesn’t understand brand new, advanced topic instantly* and my brain be like *you are a failure and a terrible student. why do you even do this class oh my god you’re so bad at it and everybody is better than you. time to give up* and that’s on imposter syndrome !

24.07.2020 | 54/100 Days of Productivity

Matricial operations. Energy. Entropy in chemistry.

I'd like to thank my computer, morning coffee, afternoon tea, and excellent musical companions on today's productivity. That and the fact the house was quiet, for once. Also, had to adjust my screen's brightness for the photos, I use it on the lowest setting, always.

day one working from home. scottish schools officially shut on friday but following guidelines i was having to self isolate for a fortnight bc of family members anyway. stay safe!
