- Results day 😥 – AKA possibly one of the worst moments of my life, Tbh. I just missed the expected grades I needed to get into Sussex. I was sorely disappointed, mainly because they don’t take into consideration my EPQ grade which I got an A in. My plan now is to retake my exams by taking a third year but the college is being so frustrating!!! I asked if I could immediately apply for a third year on results day but a senior at college told me not to do it!! She said it would be better to take a foundation course so that I automatically get into my chosen course. But I felt more comfortable paying for my retakes rather than adding an extra 9K in student loans. I tried my luck with the foundation course but they were filled up already and now I’m getting no response from college about the third year 😭😭
- Visited family in London – Since we couldn’t go last month on Eid, we decided to go this month for a couple of days since my aunt recently have birth to her first child, a baby girl!!
- Got a job!! – probably one if the few good things that happened this month. It’s a part time waitressing job at a restaurant. The pay is minimum wage and its alright for me since this is one of my first proper job. I intend to really just stay there for a couple of months for the experience until I find something better.
I read 7 books this month! Here’s some of them: (ill add links once I’m back in Brighton)
- The Novice by Taran Matharu
- Stained by Abda Khan
- Counterpart by Hayley Stone
- Songs of Princes by Janell Rhiannon
- Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
- Bloodwalker by L.X. Cain
- Aceldama by John Hazen
- Reframing Language: “This Game is Crazy!” – A small but informative post about the ableist words we use to describing games. Also, includes words we could use to replace it.
- Tropes Not Experienced in School – Joey’s TTT was so funny and hilarious. Reading his one makes me want to write my own list of tropes that I did/didn’t experience in school!

Sorry about school! I went through something a little similar, but it was my own fault: I was put on Academic Probation for dropping too many classes (I didn’t want to ruin my GPA), so I had to attend community college until I got my attempted credits up. I had to show I could pass all the classes I took, and after that I had to wait until I was eligible for aid again. So I know how frustrating college can be and all the hoops you have to jump through just to make it.
I wish you luck on your exams!!
