☆Bonjour tout le monde!☆ How is everyone? I have had a great week at school and I am excited to tell you all about it. Firstly, everyone at school is back now so it is as chaotic as ever! We love when younger kids scream for no reason
. I feel like I have been back at school for months, and that 8 weeks of remote learning just didn't happen hahaha. I have been feeling a lot better mentally and physically and ready to smash out these last two weeks! I also discovered some new font colours which I will be using in this entry because I love colour!
This is a very long journal entry that took like an hour to write so sorry about that!
Methods 3/4Methods is going pretty smoothly. I am very comfortable with my place in the cohort (equal rank 1) and I only know of one other person who I am equal with. I haven't been too behind but I want to start doing some exam-style questions because we have a Unit 3 practice exam in the last week.
Methods has gotten a lot better since we have gone back. I have one of my good friends in the class and we have a blast while still doing work. I feel like we will finish the course around week 4/5 of term 3 which is very good! I have one more SAC on calculus in term 3 then I am done with internal assessment! We don't have a SAC on probability which I am going to say is good because I have never been great at it lol.
Further 3/4Networks, networks, networks how I love and hate you at the same time. We are nearly halfway through networks which means halfway through Unit 4! Ridiculously we are going to finish the course at the very start of term 3 so we have AGES to do exam revision. I am really excited to start exam revision
The make-up SAC was ok. It was very badly worded for one question and for a bit I had lost all hope for a 45+. However, discussing with others has made me realise that I wasn't the only one and a few got the same answer so I am praying it is right !
English LanguageUnit 1 content is done! I have a SAT on Tuesday that is worth 80% of my AOS2 mark. I am quite confident with some areas and have absolutely no clue with other areas (I'm looking at you manner and place of articulation!) I submitted my assessment for the other 20% and I don't think it is too great but I think I included everything necessary and considering the circumstances and that I completed it in like 2 days I am fine with it.
I really didn't like this topic while learning it but it is actually interesting to study. This has been a recurring theme in English Language but at least I don't mind studying it because that is a big part in my grades!
Chemistry 1/2 Unit 1 content is done! I have an AOS 2 test on Tuesday and an exam next week! I feel pretty ready for it. I am still loving chemistry so yay!
French 1/2Nothing much is happening in French as always hahaha. We have a written outcome this week which I feel pretty good for because we do lots of writing and I have consistently being getting 17-19/20. We get a dictionary and 2 hours so no stress!
Random extra stuffLots of stuff has been going on outside of academics. I am most likely doing House Music and Drama next term which will be 4 nights of rehearsals but I think it will actually help me be more productive! Netball may also be going back next term. I am also looking to apply for a job which I am super excited for!
Goals and 2021As it is nearly half-way through the year so I want to state some of my goals for Unit 2 and 4 and next year.
Methods 3/4 : 41+. Quite a random goal but I feel like it is somewhat achievable due to my Unit 3 SAC scores. This scales to about a 46 which is great.
Further 3/4 : 46+. Another random goal but again I feel like it is achievable. I want to aim to minimise the amount of silly mistakes I make due to the amount fo exam revision time I will get.
English Language 1/2 : 80%+. I have been getting better results than last year and I hope this can continue. For 3/4, I am hoping for a 40+ as it has to be in my top 4!
Chemistry 1/2 : 90%+. I have been getting very good results this year in chem and I have been genuinely enjoying the subject. For 3/4, I am hoping for a 42+.
French 1/2 : 80%+. I have been quite consistent this year so I want to stay consistent and improve. For 3/4, I am hoping for a 36+.
I am having a little bit of a dilemma for my fourth subject. I am doing accounting 1/2 right now but I haven't really enjoyed Unit 1 (through VSV) so I don't know if I want to continue it. If I don't continue, I have decided I want to do P.E 3/4 as it seems pretty interesting. I need to make a decision soon haha.
That's all for today! Thanks for reading.
