probably when i was in menorca with my family in 2017 and we went to a cliff to watch the sun set over the sea. it was so beautiful!

definitely the first time i went on a holiday to a warm country, to menorca in 2017 with my family.
today was spent colouring in a gbbo colouring book, watching arrested development, and coding! i’m learning python2 using codecademy and i’m trying some of the python challenges. (i completed level 1 today and was SO excited by it.)
summer studying challenge, 16th july: do you have a lot of work to do for school this summer?
nope! thanks to covid we were able to start our new school timetable a month earlier than usual so as we’re ahead of schedule there’s almost no summer work at all :D

probably applying for a stem program which i actually finished writing today so just need to do final adjustments for next week.
summer studying challenge, 18th july: what do you usually do in summer?
usually i go away with my family (sometimes abroad but mostly down to england or up north) and see my friends a lot. summers are my complete break from school time.

summer studying challenge 2: have your plans changed at all because of the pandemic?
YUP. i was meant to be at a space program at a university in june which got cancelled, me and my friends were going to go on a cycling holiday on a west coast island, and all in all i didn’t plan on feeling so down lmao!
last night i stayed up until 4am to watch for comet NEOWISE which i saw [first picture, faint smudge just above the tree in the centre] and was completely amazed by :D unfortunately i waited for three hours after seeing it to get a second look, but the clouds were very stubborn :( i am so tired today though lol

29.06.20
today was the first day of my six week summer holiday and i’m already feeling very listless, so here is my plan for getting a big step up in russian. i’ve been loosely learning for a year so i know basic phrases and the alphabet but i want to use this time to really get to grips with it. so i’m posting this here because accountability is important! i’m hoping to fill up these sheets with vocab by the end too.

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!
