one massive pile of work interspersed with supernoodles!

i started college three weeks ago and i already feel so behind with pretty much everything! chemistry is so confusing (if someone can explain orbitals and subshells i would be eternally grateful); physics i esentially a massive pile of maths which i don't understand; german is five hours of being picked on for "you should know the answers!" and i genuinely have 10 sheets of biology due in on monday. but you know what, i love college! brilliant atmosphere, everyone's so friendly and frees are one of the best things ever! the work will work out i'm sure (fingers corssed anyway...).

summer school- two words that according to my friend shouldn't go together

i know i haven't posted anything for a while but i wanted to write and say what an absolutely amazing and inspiring time i had with the future foundations team at cambridge and essex university. we spent three days, including an overnight stay at newnham college, studying fascinating tutorials about medicine, doing interesting experiments using glucose, balloons and glue and learning different techniques so that we could become more in control of our actions and goals. we also learnt debating and public speaking skills which were really useful and fun to do but the most dramatic thing i think which happened was my lovely but excruciatingly shy best friend standing up at the end on her own to say thankyou to everyone for building her confidence. it really brought tears to my eyes! she is so lovely but worries all the time what people think and how they will react to her actions so her being able to do that was a huge jump. i am so proud of you heather!!! and thankyou future foundations!!!
