day 30 [and 29] of 100 days of productivity 💌
I posted day 29 yesterday and then it just disappeared. Long forgotten. Sayonara. And I was so fed up I couldn’t be bothered to retype it. But what I did yesterday was revise for today’s physics test and briefly talk to my crush in the library.
Said physics test went wonderfully! I’m excited to know what I got. I’ve got a bit of a one-sided rivalry with a very intelligent boy in my class. I want to beat him and I hope I did. I managed to answer every question and gave a confident answer, so let’s hope I did well! I’m proud.
I love physics lessons so much. My teachers are wonderful. My electricity teacher, especially, is an absolute sweetheart. I am not very confident at solving physics problems for reasons I can’t seem to pinpoint, so when I ask him to look over my work, he always gives me a cheery response akin to work, “absolutely smashed it! Don’t sound so unsure, have some confidence :)” genuinely so sweet.
My forces teacher is like that but he conceals it. He’s strict 95% of the time but he’s kind 1-on-1 and is very thoughtful to hard-working students. He’s a good dude.
I have quadruple maths today, too, haha! I should mention, in my last test, I was two marks off an A*,,, please be serious. I was right when I said I got everything question right but absolutely butchered the final 9-marker because I didn’t understand it properly.
We started trigonometric identities with my calc teacher today. I was surprised I was understanding it quite quickly! I’m proud of myself.
Mechanics classes are always a struggle because I just struggle to learn from my teacher’s… eccentric teaching style. He’s a good teacher and a good person, but it just doesn’t work for me, I don’t know. But I went home and went over the work, and I kid you not, I was getting all of it. I can’t begin to describe how proud I am.
But it’s late, since it was the quadruple maths and double physics day, so I always have a lot to do when I get home. Regardless, it was a good day, and let’s hope for an even better tomorrow :3
