DO NOT AND I MEAN DO NOT !!!

pick two languages for gcses please, i am regretting it, you WILL regret it!!!

my english is going out the window (always was tbh) i speak spanish when im supposed to speak irish, i speak irish when im supposed to speak spanish.

I THOUGHT PORTAN (they carry 🇪🇸) WAS PORTÁN (crab🇮🇪) I WISH I WAS JOKING.

I HAVE SÉIMHIÚ-ED WORDS THAT DO NOT NEED TO BE SÉIMHIÚ’ED LIKE ‘MI CHASA’ (supposed to be ‘mi casa’ which means ‘my house’ 🇪🇸)

A Live Re-enactment from my spanish class except i gave my teacher a nickname:

Señor Joven: ¡Hola! ¿Qué tál? ¿Tuviste una buena Navidad?

Yo: ¡Hola! Tá mé go maith, bhí buena Navidad agam. ¿y tú?

Señor Joven:

OR OR.

the awkward:

Señor Joven: ¿Qué tal?

Me: Maith…. ….bien.

you thought that was just spanish??

A Live Re-Enachment of My Irish Classes (giving my teachers more nicknames):

Bean Uí Beanna Boirche: Cad é mar atá tú?

Mé: Muy…go leor…

Or I’ll pronounce the ch in ch sounds spanishly instead of irishly Boirche? nah its Bore-che (ch like choo choo)😰. or even the word Leche(milk🇪🇸)in spanish? nah its ‘Le-hé’ but like throatily apparently

sometimes i spell báinne (milk🇮🇪, i was revising my foods and drinks in both languages) with a tilda ‘báña’ which sounds suspiciously like baño except my dumbass looks at the b and a goes “broad!🥰” and pronounces it ‘bwaño’ bc apparently i cant just leave spanish words alone

(ive spelt ‘catholic’ like ‘caflich’ before, ive spelt the word ‘you’ with a j, ‘seven’ like ‘sebhen’, senior like señur and milk like milch)

in conclusion: dont pick two languages for gcses.

but do if you want to. just one language id a lot of work and i mean A LOT buts its great craic and if u enjoy languages then go u ig. 👍

#THEY SRENT EVEN SIMILAR LANGUAGES #ONES CELTIC ONES ROMANCE #ive called it ‘Spáilge’ #for any moots not from the uk: gcses are like exams you do when youre 14/15-16/17 as a form of qualification #irish #languages #gcses #i love languages #spanish #life lessons #advice ig #this is a rant but oh well

Just want to say Good luck to the classes of 2023 starting their GCSEs this Monday!!

It’s been a weird few years and no one seems to be talking about how covid still massively impacted your learning but you all persevered and before you know it it will all be over.

It’s a stressful time so please make sure you’re getting enough sleep, eating and drinking enough water, you need to look after your brain 💙

If you need anyone to talk to/vent to I’m happy to listen and if you need any last minute support with maths or physics just ask :)

I started reminiscing about my GCSE years, and decided to try and write a GCSE-Music-style analytical essay on Helluva Boss songs. I ended up getting... Somewhat carried away.

How the different elements of music are used in "House of Asmodeus".

When Moxxie starts singing the melody is conjunct, and the texture is homophonic, with only simple guitar chords+vocals. This simple, classically romantic style of song perfectly represents his love for Millie. After the glockenspiel kicks in, we hear a syncopated clapping rhythm along with his guitar, moving the music away from the diagetic, symbolising their more whimsical love. As soon as Fizz and Ozz start mocking him, the guitar fades.

Ozz and Fizz's first lines are a capella, with a short, 2-note, chromatic saxophone phrase playing in between each line. As Fizz introduces Ozz, each line is punctuated with a staccato saxophone note. We first hear the piano play a sweet, high pitched note at the word "luuuuust".

Ozz then sings mezzo-piano, each line increasing in dynamics, punctuated again by a saxophone, and accompanied by a staccato piano. (This is also where Fizz plays the pretend trumpet- a hint at their own wacky, supportive relationship). He then changes tone, with the piano and bass becoming legato, and accompanying him with a descending chord progression, and you can also hear an arpegiated guitar. This is him mocking Moxie's simple, romantic tune, he then moves back to his a capella arrangement with each line punctuated by staccato notes, desplaying his brutality. He then continues in that fashion, only now accompanied by staccato guitar strumming, parallel to Moxxie's song, but in a minor key. He then continues onto the chorus, the lines previously played by Fizz's imaginary trumpet now done by the piano. During Ozz's "belt moment", the orchestra becomes legato.

Moxxie begins to sing again, moving to his simple major tune, before Ozz takes over again, now accompanied by a slightly different rhythm, the chords going from staccato to legato as they descend chromatically. Interestingly, Ozzie ends this verse in major, and you can hear a short, sweet, melody playing on the glockenspiel. This is as he attacks Millie, calling her an "unsatisfied bride". This juxtaposes his comment, showing that the M&Ms aren't affected by it.

As Blitzø starts talking, the acompanyment slowly crescendos, at a slower tempo, the glockenspiel and guitar being the main instruments you can hear, including when Fizz responds, as they're used in this song to represent sweetness, this forshaddows how Fizz and Blitzø's rivalry has a less bitter ending, and also represents how Blitzø's standing up for the M&Ms.

The electric guitar takes over when Verosica sings, and simple backing vocals are heard in between her lines, reflecting her own style of music. As she disses Blitz, the acompanyment moves up in an ascending bassline.

When Fizzmodeus starts singing about Stolitz, they move back to their previous a capella arrangement, with the orchestra's staccato punctuation being descending rather than ascending, showing how messy and unstable Stolitz is. Ozz's lines are then accompanied again, giving him more power, so when he calls Stolas out on giving up his wife and child for Blitzø, and the acompanyment becomes legato, it leaves a lasting effect.

When he belts his closing lines, every instrument punctuates the lines, the piano playing a short, jazzy descending line after "thrust". Then the lines become accompanied again by staccato instruments. The finale line "in the house of Asmodeus," you can just about hear ornamentation on the piano over the fireworks, before it's cut short by Millie knocking out Fizz.

Moxxie then resumes his simple strumming, the glockenspiel playing a sweet descending line as they lift, the harp swells, and then plays along with the, now even simpler played, guitar. We end with moxxie finishing his line a capella, they kiss, the crowd cheers, Blitzø then ruins the moment by rejecting Stolas wtf.

I'm really looking forward to pretty like the sun part 2!! 😁

I know this ask was sent in over a month ago now, i am very sorry for not replying.

I took a long break from tumblr because I had my last set of mocks and just before that I got super ill, i still am. So i havent been able to write anything or even bothered to read much, and i probably wont be able to write anything until June time (including pretty like the sun part 2) because GCSES are starting in 6 weeks and i really need to focus.

I do feel really bad but I need to study and I cant write to the best of my ability if im under too much stress.

Thank you for all the love though 🫶🫶🫶

Re-reading Pretty like the sun made me very happy so I will definitely write the part 2 when i dont have the stress of school.

Also if anyone has any ideas of pretty like the sun, or anything you want to see, please do say. It may spark something that will help me write it.

Surviving GCSES: The Ultimate Guide

~ HOW TO REVISE ~

NB; some 'specific subjects' may not be included

WHEN:

- revision should be 'little and often' - meaning you should be revising a few hours every week, whether it's recapping the material, quizzing yourself, or doing homework. By doing little and often revision, it's more likely to become embedded in your long term memory

- if you cram the day before an exam, do effective cramming. Use this time to go over anything you don't know or understand. Blurting is a good method to use- try reading a page or a topic and writing down as much as you can remember from it. Fill in the gaps and identify your weak spots

REVISION METHODS

ACTIVE RECALL should be the main way you revise. It's forcing your brain to actively remember what it can about what you've learned, bringing it to the front of your memory

- blurting: blurting is a great way for you to find out what you know and what you don't. Write down as much as you can remember, and fill in the bits you can't with a different colour. You can repeat the process until it's embedded in your memory and until you're confident that you know everything you need to know

- flashcards: when writing flashcards, do NOT just copy notes onto there. Write questions on one side, and answers on the other then use it to quiz yourself. ALTERNATIVELY for memorising quotes, you could also write half of it on one side and half on the other. You could also write notes on one side and questions on the other, so you have to look in the text to find the answers

- past papers: I cannot stress this enough. Once you've revised and learned everything you think you've learned, test yourself by doing past papers. Research has shown that the top students do more past papers and questions than anyone else. Mark these yourself using the mark scheme so you can identify where you went wrong and how to improve it. Pay extra attention to the mark scheme so in an exam you can quit the waffle and identify where your marks are at

- pretend to 'teach' the content to someone younger or dumber than you. Try and explain it the best you can in simple words - this shows you understand it enough

- there are LOADS of videos out there about how to revise- watch them and use them!

- sleep: sleep is also a revision technique after you've learnt something, as sleeping gives your brain time to process the information and store it in your memory. but only sleep AFTER you've revised a bit

TEACHERS

- teachers are your best tool. Use them

- teachers know what they're doing, and are specialised in their subject for a REASON

- request revision materials,

- if you don't understand anything, simply ask. That's what they're there for. At the end of the day, your grades are gonna matter more than the time you bothered them

- listen in lessons!!! This is so important and many people don't realise. Pay attention in lessons like you're listening to the latest gossip or hot celeb talk or whatever you're into. Give it 110% and actively participate. It won't be embarrassing when you get those good grades.

WEBSITES

Here are some websites I like to use that are FREE and I use constantly to aid me with revision

• Quizlet

• anki

• StudySmarter

• seneca

• tassomai

• gcsepod

• hegarty maths

• Corbett maths

• maths genie

• YouTube and tiktok (they have some good shi on there ngl)

• Duolingo

SPECIFIC SUBJECT REVISION

MATHS

practice papers and questions. Memorise formulas and how to use them. Just keep doing practice questions. If you like puzzles and games, you like maths- think of it as another piece to solve, and like a game. At the end of the day, maths it's just problem solving. There's only one right answer.

ENGLISH LIT:

blurting, mind-maps, flashcards to learn quotes. Look at the AOs to figure out where your marks are, and try and do as much work as you can because at the end of the day, over the year or two years your classwork is gonna be what you've done the most. Plan essays and write them. Talk to your teachers about where to improve and where you've gone wrong. Read more to help with developing your language and writing style. Try writing something unrelated to school- maybe a story, a poem, a speech. Repeat it to help develop what you're doing. English lit is just memorising quotes and explains them- don't overthink it. Make sure you know your text back to front and know how to answer questions. Write practice essays and get your teachers to mark them, and later ask them to explain what you can do to get more marks. Especially in gcse, these examiners are marking abt 50-100 essays. What makes YOURS stand out. Why do YOU deserve that grade amongst everyone? YouTubers I like to use include Mr Bruff, Mr Salles, Mr Everything English

RS:

it depends on how you like revising. I like copying out my notes and making my mind-maps, and then using flashcards to help memorise quotes. Answer practice questions regularly and ask your teacher about the mark scheme and HOW to answer questions if you're struggling. Think of it as learning about yourself and your religion, and many others - help it bring you closer to God if you're religious

SCIENCE

science is mostly fact based and about how well you apply these facts to questions and practical examples. I very strongly recommend using flashcards and paying attention in lessons. Watch YouTube videos and actively and constantly recall your notes. Answer LOTS of past papers and practice questions - every year they use 3-4 of the exact same questions in the exam. There's only so many questions they can ask. Also, print off the specification (this can be found on the exam board's website) and use this to make sure you haven't missed any content out. Use this specification to make flashcards - also, use the questions at the end of each lesson in cgp textbooks as practice questions for flashcards!!! Science is quite flexible to revise from, you can watch videos and make notes, or make mind-maps, or do blurting. Just make sure it's active and that you're reviewing the content regularly!! I also recommend using Seneca to sort of make sure you know everything the day before an exam. Science is an explanation for everything, think of it as something interest as it can make quite a lot of interesting conversation topics.

LANGUAGES:

think of languages as something essential to your identity and helping you live in today's everchanging world. Language is a way to communicate with people - honestly just think about that for a sec. Use duolingo, Quizlet and other language apps!! Be consistent and the night before ur exam, do the biggest and fattest Quizlet you can revise. Test yourself on flashcards when memorising chunks for speaking exams. Also think of everything in ur designated language like when ur drinking water translate that. Or when ur speaking at home or to someone speak with what u know in that language.

HISTORY:

there's a lot of dates and factual knowledge in this, so your best option is to constantly review and actively recall everything. Try doing some practice questions and planning essays. Blurting is SUPER useful for this subject especially too!!! History is super interesting - we learn from the past to improve the future. History builds us and moulds us into where we are today!

HOW TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF

- find out what you want to do in life: medicine? law? art? finding a passion and knowing what you want to do after school can really help motivate you

- if you're unsure of you're career, start by listing what you like and what you're good at. Ask people what career they think you'd be suited to and why. Research these careers and about life beyond school

- a reminder that school is SO much more than just listening to teachers about useless stuff. When you think about, it's teaching you everything about the world you are living in RIGHT NOW

- knowledge is power

- make your parents and your family proud. If they can spend thousands of pounds on you and spend 15+ years raising you up, im pretty sure you can do this

- think about everyone who's ever told you you can't do it or thought you're useless. Imagine the look on their face when you make it. Prove them wrong.

- watch academia and studytok videos. As dumb as it sounds, they're quite motivating

- think of the consequences if you don't revise. while everyone will be smiling and happy with their results, you'll be sitting there knowing you could've done better if only you'd taken the opportunity. That opportunity is now

- a reminder that social media is always going to be there. There's always posts to like and videos to watch but the real world isn't here forever. Focus on your studies before your phone

- think about what you're ultimately working towards: WHY do you want these grades- money? A successful career? Revenge? Validation?

EXTRACURRICULAR BRAIN DEVELOPMENT

- don't make school your life- having a hobby or doing something you enjoy is SO important. It also makes you a more interesting person :)

- we all need downtime. find what that thing is for you

- you need to develop your brain outside of school too. Whether it's sport, music, art, writing- invest a little bit of time into that everyday

- READ. Reading is important and gives you more knowledge and develops your brain. JK Rowling once said if you hate reading, it's only because you haven't found the right book. FIND IT.

SELF CARE

- don't forget to take care of yourself. At the end of the day, a test is just a paper, a grade is just a number. As much as you want to get good grades, remember there's so much more to life

- remember this world is temporary - don't become so caught up in school you burn out. One day we're all going to die so it's important you stick to your religious faith/beliefs because everything is from god/happens for a reason. Ultimately, you may put so much effort into something but if God isn't pleased with you or decides not to make it happen, it isn't going to happen/if it's not meant to happen a certain way, it won't. Failure is inevitable and don't let it put you down. The afterlife/death is forever and when you're standing in front of God on judgement/ rotting in your grave this test is not going to matter. At all.

- hang out with friends often, and make sure they're not toxic and they're people who make you feel happy. Do things with them because you're only a teenager once so live your life and make memories with them. Just a reminder that there's a difference between fun, and stupidity+danger. Don't wreck up your future in the process

- take days off, and love yourself. Have a relaxing bath or a facial, or dress up for no reason. Remember that YOU are the most important person. Never hate yourself for putting you first

- don't overdo it so much that you burn out. Don't sit at your desk for ten hours straight trying to memorise something

- remember to get fresh air and go on regular walks and exercise. Exercise gets your blood flow pumping and can help clear your mind and help with exhaustion and mood.

I love you, and good luck to everyone doing their GCSEs :) you got this! ❤️
