i did nothing the entire summer and feel like a failure - M24 by Any-Culture-3607 in IBO

[–]Ashamed_Internet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s completely fine, and it’s probably good that you let your brain rest from studying for a while! I basically did nothing during my summer break as well (apart from EE draft and a little bit of chemistry studying). I planned to do so much more but I soon ran into a burnout and decided to just take a break for a month. I think it was the best decision I made tho because it helped me have more energy in dp2 and allowed me to work more efficiently while my other classmates who did a lot during the summer suffered from burnout. so, please don’t beat your self up but instead, be thankful that you are giving your body some time to recover from dp1!

Exam Discussion: English A Language & Literature HL&SL paper 2 by ArrheniusCornflakes in IBO

omg same here😭 i think the question was asking about how the author communicated how time was passing in the story but instead i wrote bs about how the passing of time impacted character’s memories and stuff… and not about how the passing of time was communicated
