Hello everyone!
I'm a Year 10 student who is about to embark on an EPIC and INTENSE journey through the VCE and I'm making this journal because I'm procrastinating instead of studying. oops.
A bit about yours truly:
- I love music, my tastes go from Beethoven to Radiohead to My Chemical Romance. I love to play the piano, I love to sing, music is pretty much my religion.
- I also love sport, except I've always been the person who prefers to watch it than play it mostly because I'm a bit unco and you will find me on the couch watching AFL, cricket, NFL, rugby, tennis or whatever is on.
- I'm an ENTP on the MBTI, so feel free to argue with me about anything. 8)
Oh yeah, VCE. So at the moment I'm accelerating in 1/2 Methods, which is a lot of fun, maths is my favourite subject.
Next year I am doing: Methods, Eng Lang, Physics, Specialist, Italian and Religion and Society. (Our school forces us to do Religion in Year 11, which sucks, but I guess I will persevere). I am thinking about doing UMEP Maths in Year 12 but we will see about that.
I don't really have a specific ATAR aim, I would like to get at least a 98 but I only need a 95 to get in BCom at UoM, which is looking like my course goal. I would like to major in either Finance + Economics or Actuarial Studies.
I have applied for an 4 week Exchange in Italy in November next year and I seriously cannot wait to see if I got in, that would be amazing.
This is already way too long so I will wrap it up there. Hope to update in the future. Please feel free to ask me questions so that I feel important.
Hey TigerMum,
Awesome idea to start a journal :)
What is your favorite subject?

Ayy, music is my everythingI N T E R E S T I N G !
Literally just been crying over TwoSet's music watch thing being sold out (and it was rose gold too) but then found out my ex-singing teacher has this music shop selling music jewelry (lol sorry, went off-topic)
Good luck for your Italian exchange!!! Surely, you would've made itThanks! I have applied but I still have to sit an interview in a few weeks, so here's hoping it all goes well! There are only 5 places available so it's pretty tight.
Also welcome to the procrastination clubThis club seems to have a lot of members at the moment :)
Hey TigerMum,Thanks so much! Year 10 Italian has been great this year, my reading skills have improved out of sight and I feel like I am making actual progress. Unfortunately, my listening is still not great, I need to practise more. Those Italians speak so fast!
Your journal's been a good read so far!
How's Yr 10 Italian going and what made you decide to do it next year?
What team do you support in the footy? Haha.
The mighty hawks! ;D
The mighty hawks! ;Di think i might throw up. i was super excited to find a fellow year ten with a journal but now i'm not so sure. cats all the way!!
i think i might throw up. i was super excited to find a fellow year ten with a journal but now i'm not so sure. cats all the way!!
Congrats on the awesome result for Methods :)
Do you have any advice on how to do well in Methods?(I'll be doing 1/2 next year)
Why commerce? When did you figure out that that was your likely goal?
Best of luck for your LOTE 3/4 next year and VCE!Thanks for all the advice and good luck for Methods 3/4 next year and beyond :)
When do you have your exams?
My first exam is on this Wednesday coming up and my last one is on the Thursday of the following week. The ones I really care about are both Methods exams, English and Italian. The others I'm not continuing with next year so I'm not overly fussed with my result. How about you, when are your exams?Mine start on this coming Thursday and end on Thursday of the following week.
How was your first exam? Mine also started today! Did you have English? <3
I had English today. Like you, my language analysis was quite short. I had an introduction, a paragraph about the opening strategy and two about the other two arguments. I also had to write a comparative essay in the two-hour exam. Surprisingly, they both went well. Health (in Year 9/10) always feels like a bit of a joke. Do you have exams tomorrow? ;D
Great job, hope you went really well on your exam! ;D Best of luck for the rest as well!My history exam (on the exact same two topics, plus a subunit on migration) is tomorrow as well! What a weird coincidence. I found the way that the timelines of the civil rights movement and WW2 (and even migration) overlapped and effected each other super fascinating. Did you enjoy studying history?
I probably could have split one of my paragraphs in half as it was quite a long paragraph but whatever. I have a history exam tomorrow on World War II and the Civil Rights Movements in Australia and the US. I'm not doing history next year so I'm not overly worried about it but I still want to do well of course.
I got an email from UoM just two hours ago notifying me that I got into Kwong Lee Dow!As a Kwonger Class of 2014 myself (who ironically later studied at Monash), congrats and welcome to the fold. :)
-snip-
I also have an AMEB piano exam on Thursday just in case I thought I didn't have enough exams going on, which should be a lot of fun.
As a Kwonger Class of 2014 myself (who ironically later studied at Monash), congrats and welcome to the fold. :)
Re: Piano Exam
What grade are you going for, if you don’t mind me asking? Good luck for it!
The mighty hawks! ;D
I hope to enjoy and savour these summer holidays but I also want to get a bit done for Methods 3/4 next year, so I've started on the textbook and actually been quite productive; I have almost finished the first chapter lolHow far do you plan to get ahead?
Wow good job!
That is so sick you get to go to Italy ❤️
Do you know which part?
Congrats on the exam marks and getting into the Italian Exchange! Will an Italia student be hosting you at their home? How far do you plan to get ahead?
Also, what do you reckon is the best way to study for Methods Tests and Application Tasks?
Thank you so much! Yes, I will be staying in the home of an Italian student who I will have hosted here in August.That Italian Exchange sounds very exciting! I hope you enjoy it :)
As for Methods, I don't have a specific plan as to how much I want to do over the holidays, hopefully as much as I can. I already "know" most of the content, but I haven't done much in practice. In regards to studying for Methods tests and tasks, as cliche as this sounds, I try not to focus too much on studying for the test itself, the marks will come through practice and gaining a deep understanding of the content. Once you have a strong understanding of the content, then you can do exam-style questions to test how well you can apply this knowledge but the understanding is the most important part. Best of luck for Methods next year!
UPDATE: 6/12/2019Heyo heyo! Omg wowza congrats on all the achievements!! How are you finding spesh btw? ;D Good luck with all your subjects!
Helloooooo, it's been a while, and a lot of awesome things have happened since I finished school this year, so here is the rundown of my latest antics.
I found out a few days ago that I have been selected by the school to go on an Exchange to Italy in December next year! I'm so excited and thrilled, I have been thinking about doing it since year 7, so to now know that I will be going is just amazing. There will also be an Italian student staying with me here in August, which is very exciting.
I also got all my results back for my Year 10 exams, and they actually went great; better than I expected! I don't get too fussed over exact marks at this stage because the marking is done quite differently to how it well be done in year 12 and the tests are at a lower standard. Besides, I only really cared about English, Methods and Italian, (since I wasn't go to continue with the others,) and they were my three highest scoring subjects, so I'm quite satisfied.
I then received another result in the mail yesterday and it was feedback for my piano exam. (I did an AMEB Grade 6.) Well, it turns out I went OK and got an A+ lol. 8) I was kicking myself after I came out because I somehow screwed up one little bit on the aural section that I normally find easy, and I kept thinking about it even when I got home. If I look back on it properly, I actually played my pieces pretty well and I'm really happy that the piano wasn't ridiculously loud and echo-y like last time haha. The feedback on the marking sheet was almost illegible at times, so I spent a while pondering over whether my sight reading was sound or if it sucked.
After Year 10 was all finished, we had quite a short headstart for Year 11. It's great to finally be doing lots of subjects that I am truly passionate about (apart from compulsory RE but whatever) and my teachers are all fantastic! I hope to enjoy and savour these summer holidays but I also want to get a bit done for Methods 3/4 next year, so I've started on the textbook and actually been quite productive; I have almost finished the first chapter lol
I hope you all have a great Christmas and a relaxing break and I guess we'll go at it again next year! :)
Grazie per quest'anno e vi auguro buon Natale.
Heyo heyo! Omg wowza congrats on all the achievements!! How are you finding spesh btw? ;D Good luck with all your subjects!
How have the rest of your holidays been, TigerMum?
I've also done quite a bit of Physics reading for motion and forces, and I think the concepts are freaking awesome to learn about; I'm really looking forward to it. I do think the minimal maths in VCE Physics is a bit of a shame because you can't delve into the concepts as deeply without using calculus, but I guess they want to avoid just turning it into another maths subject, which is fair enough.I can absolutely confirm this ;D. Motion in Physics is probably one of the most interesting and fun topics to learn about! Although Physics is quite a maths-based subject, it's really more focused on understanding how everything works rather than the numbers. Imagine if Physics did have more maths in it..... ??? (I wonder what it would be like. Maybe Spesh 2.0?)
I spent a lot of the holidays looking into what I want to do once I leave school, and it feels like the more research I do, the more torn I get. There are essentially a few areas that I'm thinking of going into: Engineering (probably Mechanical or Electrical), Computer Science, Mathematics or maybe Commerce.The more options you have the harder it is to pick :P
I'm quite excited for Spesh this year; my class only has 10 people, and it's a really cool atmosphere where we just get to talk about nerdy maths stuff and do nerdy maths stuff. I've only completed the first two chapters, and it's all content I have seen before, so not much to say here. Now that I'm looking through the whole book, it seems like 1/2 Spesh has a lot of random stuff in it without much focus, (since there isn't any calculus), and several topics that aren't needed for 3/4 Spesh. My teacher said they weren't really the biggest fan of the structure of Spesh 1/2 and that 3/4 is way more juicy (harder, as well, but still). Anyway, it's another maths subject on my timetable, so that's pretty awesome.
I got an email from UoM just two hours ago notifying me that I got into Kwong Lee Dow! I'm honestly shocked, for two reasons; mostly because I didn't think I had that much of a chance and also because the university website said they were notifying students of the outcome on Friday in three days time, so you can imagine my surprise when the email miraculously appeared in my inbox on a lazy Tuesday afternoon.
Thanks TigerMum for the update! Looking forward to the next one soon ;D
Imagine if Physics did have more maths in it..... ??? (I wonder what it would be like. Maybe Spesh 2.0?)
It's amazing to see that you have branched out and looked at different options. If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to do engineering? (I also want to do Electrical too🤣).
Computer science, mathematics and commerce also sound like great areas of interests too! Make sure you attend some uni open days to get a feel of what the courses/areas of interests are like. (It will probably help, especially when applying overseas.)
That's awesome to have spesh enjoyed in that type of way. Most people I know who do spesh tend to feel forced to it, so that's great to actually like spesh! Keep up the great work!
Just came across your journal and thought it was super cool! I'm a member of the KLD Class of 2021 too! Nice to meet you :DThank you so much for the kind words, nice to meet you too!
I wish I could spend time making a journal like this, but I think I'd be too boring and forget about it anyway haha! I applaud your productivity.
UPDATE: 21/3/2020
I feel especially bad for those doing folio subjects, I know some people who are doing PDT and they can't actually build their thing at home because they don't have the equipment or the materials to do it.
Italian
As I slowly recover from the realisation that my exchange to Italy is looking dead in the water, I am remembering that I can still practice the language here at home.
Hey TigerMum!!Thanks, hope you're doing amazing too! I haven't had any online classes because our last day at school was just on Friday, so tomorrow will be my first day. It seems to me that each teacher will go about things differently; some will just send us the work to do and we ask them if we have any questions and others will actually record themselves teaching something.
Awesome to see that you are doing amazing as always ;D.
How is the virtual school going on your end? Is it manageable or does it consume more time than a normal school day?
Hahaha this is me 😭. I feel really bad for the folio students especially who don't have equipment at home or who are missing vital pieces that are needed to make their products. (I really need an overlocker to give my product a professional finish and now I think I'm going to lose marks based on this).Yeah, you popped into my head when I was writing about PDT, I hope the current circumstances don't affect you too badly!
This is absolutely terrible, having everything crushed because of this virus. I can totally sympathise with you right now.Thank you! :) Good luck with everything, I'm sure you'll get through this!
I hope everything else in your life is going alright! Take care of your self and keep updating in the future! :D
(Also I would love to see you update your journal sometime)
UPDATE: 27/04/2020YAYYYY AN UPDATE!
It's been a while, (by "a while" I mean over a month), but I was just reminded the other day that this journal exists, so I thought this would be a good way to procrastinate for a bit ;)
So online school has actually been solid so far, obviously it has its pros and cons. The big thing is that I can have an extra hour of sleep every morning (like holy cow, imagine waking up at 8:15 and getting to class on time). I also like how I have more flexibility in terms of when I do all my work, and being a year 11 student, this has allowed me to prioritise my 3/4 subject, which is pretty neat. All this said, I do miss the face-to-face social interactions that you have at school. Even though I'm still yakking away with friends online 24/7, it's not quite the same.But i mean HOW GOOOOOD are the sleep ins!! Have you tried video calling friends much? My friends and I did it the other day and it was so good! It was better than messaging cause we were like all together but not.
subjectsHow are you finding having all the extra time? Are you finding you are using your time more/less productively??
Its really good you've been able to find perspective, and obsessing over scores id v counterproductive. What have you been getting up to in iso?Spoilerrandom personal-ish rant: Due to a couple of recent events, one of these being the shutdown, I have had quite a big change in mindset, not only towards school, but towards my career and life in general. It's pretty much to realise what the important things in my life are and what actually makes me happy. Over the past couple of months, I feel like I was beginning to become obsessed with VCE and my ATAR to the point where I was assigning way too much value onto a single number, (despite being in a position where I feel pretty confident that I will be able to achieve the ATAR required for any of my possible uni options). I'm not suggesting that I'm going to start studying less, (because, to be honest, despite being obsessed with my ATAR, I wasn't actually studying that much), instead, I just want to put things into perspective and try and enjoy the things that really do make me happy, and that is the relationships that I have with those around me. I've always been an extrovert who loves talking to people, and I think being stuck at home has really made me appreciate how important people are to me, and that there is more to my life than just school and work. Idk if that made any sense but I just wanted to let it out a bit.
Methematical MathodsLet's get that juicy rank 1 TigerMum!!! I'm rooting for you 8).
At the moment, I'm just hoping that we do our Unit 3 SAC at school, because I really don't want any dodgy online nonsense to get in the way of that juicy rank 1. I'm going at a fairly solid pace through the textbook; I'm going to start probability tomorrow, and I feel quite confident with all the content, so things are looking up for my only 3/4 subject this year! ;D
FizixYou had me already laughing at the Methods title, but 'Fizix' takes the cake anyday😂. Good luck for your Physics test this Thursday! Don't worry, you will be absolutely fine and there is only so many things they can ask for nuclear physics.
Physics has been getting better the last few weeks. I have a test on Thursday on nuclear physics, which I feel a bit unprepared for, but my school normally makes pretty easy tests across the board for 1/2 subjects, so I can't imagine it will be that difficult.
YAYYYY AN UPDATE!Oh yeah, we do video calls a lot, which is pretty good, but obviously it still isn't the same as speaking in person. Funny thing about sleeping in, today I woke up and looked at the clock and thought it said 8:35 so I was scrambling to eat breakfast and open my computer. I was about halfway through breakfast when my brain switched back on and realised the small hand was before the 8, not after it, so it was actually 7:35. Sometimes I really worry about myself ;D
But i mean HOW GOOOOOD are the sleep ins!! Have you tried video calling friends much? My friends and I did it the other day and it was so good! It was better than messaging cause we were like all together but not.
How are you finding having all the extra time? Are you finding you are using your time more/less productively??The extra time is good because I can be more flexible and prioritise certain subjects when I need to, but at the moment I'm pretty much putting all my effort into methods (because it's my only 3/4) and kind of neglecting my other subjects, which isn't that ideal.
Its really good you've been able to find perspective, and obsessing over scores id v counterproductive. What have you been getting up to in iso?I really haven't been doing much over the past few weeks. I've either been studying, doodling around on the internet or playing piano. Luckily, I have been able to go out for a quite a few walks so I haven't been stuck inside for the whole time. Thanks for the reply and I hope you've been keeping well over the past few weeks too! :)
Hey Hey TigerMum! ;DWow, I appreciate the enthusiasm! thanks! :) Maybe I shouldn't wait a month before the next update ;)I don't think I've ever screamed so loudly to see a new update on a journal before🤣
Sounds like you are getting through a lot of stuff during remote learning and it's amazing to see what you are getting up too :D.
Let's get that juicy rank 1 TigerMum!!! I'm rooting for you 8).Thanks so much, best of luck for methods and all your subjects as well! Also, I beg to differ, calculus is the best unit in methods, no debate. ;D
Also, woah onto probability already? (The best unit in Methods hands down :P ). Good job getting ahead and keep that spectacular pace up. I absolutely know you are going to ace this subject and I can't wait to hear more updates soon!
Also, thanks for the laugh I loved your subject titles for methods and physics!
You had me already laughing at the Methods title, but 'Fizix' takes the cake anyday😂.Haha thanks, unfortunately I can't take credit for Fizix, that was one of the physics teachers at my school, but meth mathods was my creation ;)
Yeah, thanks a lot for the advice, that idea about numbers sounds pretty good! I'll see if I can use that over the next two years.SpoilerAlso, with your personal rant, it's great to see that you are getting the problem off your chest and realising how the number game can severely impact your health. I can totally understand the obsession of the 'number game' and it's pretty hard to see past it at this time (especially VCE time yolo), but in the end, it's not going to do much but provide a pathway. Family and friends are definitely more important and it's good to see how you are approaching a balancing stage.
Take the time to look after yourself during Year 11, and make sure to not stress too much over numbers (don't be like me who obsessed over numbers and did super poorly), in fact, try to obliterate the numbers from your life as much as possible (I know, sounds crazy).
Something that I've been doing since December last year was instead of looking at specific numbers for my subjects, I decided to make specific goals e.g. on the end of year exam for Physics, I want to get all the Special Rel questions correct. Might work for you too when you start Year 12 as it helps you focus more on the quality of your learning and progression of mistakes rather than a quantitative score. (Just try to avoid making specific goals that will be impacted by the performance of others if that makes sense?)
Thank you so much TigerMum for the detailed update! I'm really looking forward to more soon and good luck for the rest of the week!Thank you, hope you enjoy the rest of your week too. 👍
Otherwise, Methods has been going fine recently, for some reason we are having our SAC really late, which I don't have a massive problem with, as long as I don't do the SAC online.You are not the only ones who will be doing your SAC really late. (For authentication reasons, my school is pushing back our official SAC till we get back..). I really would have loved them to keep the continuous probability distributions too and the weighting of Unit 3 seems a little unfair but ah well life happens :'(. Other than that, it's super amazing to see you are smashing this subject!!
PhysicsAnd here we have the famous TigerMum smashing "Fizixs" like there is no tomorrow ;D. AMAZING job for 100%! (That's a big achievement!). I can 100000% reassure you that 3/4 Physics is sooooooo good! As someone that despised 1/2 with a burning passion, 3/4 is like a miracle sent by the holy spirits of VCE. Physics has some super interesting stuff to learn about and is quite an enjoyable subject! (Shooting people with Nerf guns and Luna Park come with the 3/4 Physics package🤣)
We had a test last week on Nuclear/Atomic Physics and I got a nice 40/40, which was pretty cool. The test was quite easy, which I was kind of expecting because my school tends to make fairly easy tests for 1/2 subjects. We are doing electrical physics at the moment, which is quite good. I've been enjoying Physics a lot more recently and I've been checking out some of the 3/4 textbook in my spare time. Some of the concepts look super interesting! :D
Over the last month or so I've become DANGEROUSLY re-obsessed with a bunch of musicals, most notably Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Hamilton, Miss Saigon, among others. Hence, I have spent very unhealthy lengths of time listening to cast recordingsWarning: Musical rant aheadand watching full slime tutorials.. ;D
I just had the first half of my Methods Unit 3 SAC this afternoon (aka my first SAC ever) so I thought this would be a good time to start doing this again.Bro, I just had the first half of my Methods SAC this afternoon too... (Got another one on Monday haha).
PhantomThanks for replying, awesome to see some more musical fans on here! Yeah, the 25th anniversary recording is soooo good, I have a giant "talent crush" on Ramin, Sierra and Hadley, it's pretty awesome that we live in a time where something like that is free and available.
Les MisAnd yeah, Les Mis is definitely my favourite musical, I first got into it when I was about 10 and I haven't looked back since :)
I am yet to watch Hamilton, but I do have Disney+, it's on top of my watch list as soon as my schedule is freer. How did you like it? Did it meet your expectations?
On a serious note, congrats on your first ever SAC :) You should be proud with whatever you achieve :D
Bro, I just had the first half of my Methods SAC this afternoon too... (Got another one on Monday haha).Wow that's pretty crazy, I guess a number of schools pushed their SACs into term 3. I hope you went well, at least better than I did :)
Ok enough of that, I'm glad to hear that you were able to do something productive on the holidays (yes to those slime tutorials) and I must say, I love the music choice! (Please do more of these in the future🥺).Glad you liked the music choice, tbh I wouldn't mind if that just played whenever I entered a room lol ;D
I was essentially told by my teacher that I got a moderated score of 98% which was... the highest in the cohort. I'm just so so happy that all the work I put into this subject has actually payed off into something. Of course, it's no time to get complacent, but at the moment I have just had a triple dose of confidence injected into my veins and it feels pretty good.A massive congratulations! 🎉 That's amazing! I'm so happy for you! It's great that you're using this as motivation for your next sacs and that you're still keeping your eye on the prize. 8)
Spesh has been going along rather smoothly, we did a quick test on Complex Numbers the other day and I got a nice hundo. We're doing vectors now, which is a lot of fun, luckily I had the infamously difficult tip-to-tail vector addition already down pat thanks to 1/2 Physics 8)Good job on the test! I love complex numbers, mainly due to the algebra lol. Ah, vectors. Vectors are interesting because there's so much you can do with them...like in the 3 4 course, I think there are 3 topics in the textbook that use vector concepts. What's your favourite topic so far in spec? It's pretty sweet that you're doing physics as it complements spec so well, since it makes concepts easier to understand.
Hello TigerMum! ;DHey Evolio, thank you so much for the kind words! :) Best of luck for any upcoming SACs you may have, I'm sure you're going to crush them! ;D
A massive congratulations! 🎉 That's amazing! I'm so happy for you! It's great that you're using this as motivation for your next sacs and that you're still keeping your eye on the prize. 8)

What's your favourite topic so far in spec? It's pretty sweet that you're doing physics as it complements spec so well, since it makes concepts easier to understand.Yeah, complex numbers are quite fun, anything to do with algebra I tend to like. My favourite topic in spesh is integration except we don't do that in unit 1/2. Of the stuff we've done this year, I'd probably say either trig or complex numbers, I just like algebra and more "pure" maths.
Velocity is the vector version of speed. I.e. speed but with a direction.Oh I'm really sorry Bri, my comment about velocity was a terrible joke! 😔 At least among people in my school, I can't speak for others, but most people I know tend to find the motion in Unit 1/2 quite easy due to it being a fairly familiar and applicable topic. I tried to hint that I was joking about finding it difficult by saying "I want to move onto a less abstract concept with more real-world applications like Special Relativity". 😂
E.g. let's say you had a question about throwing a ball up in the air. First, define up as being positive. Our initial velocity is some positive number. The acceleration due to gravity is negative (-9.8 m/s/s) so this positive velocity gets smaller and smaller and smaller until at the peak of the ball's motion it has 0 velocity (it's a stationary point). Then when the ball starts moving down, it has negative velocity which gets bigger and bigger (more and more negative).
Hi TigerMum, I love your journal just as much as I love your name and amazing job for methods!Hey homeworkisapotato,
Every time I read your username I get a mental image of a pregnant humanoid tiger tho haha
And I do NOT have a study score aim, I don't want to put any more pressure on myself than I already have.This is what I call the best positive mindset you can go in with!!! Just do your best and that is all anyone can ask of you.❤️
Fizix👀👀🤣
Yeah of course I'm gonna spell it like that, what are you looking at? haha ;D
Fizix
Physics and Spesh are definitely the two subjects in which I feel most confident in my ability to do well just because the STEM stuff seems to make sense in my brain. I've done most of the motion AOS and it's been really fun so far, looking at the course I think I will enjoy 3/4 a lot more than 1/2 which is good. The only problem with physics is that I start thinking about it in real life and taking note of the normal force as I sit on a chair hahaha I'll stop being weird now. ;D
How am I meant to think you know velocity when you don't know what the name of the subject is??? ???>:( Grrrr I'm doing my best to spell it... nah my teacher from last year would spell it like that in emails so I decided to bring it on here haha 🤣
Ftr, there are absolutely people who struggle more with motion than with special relativity, as weird as that may seem. I find that my knowledge about special relativity actually tends to be more useful irl than motion stuff (throw ball up, ball come down is good to know but most of us already knew that & I'm not going to run the numbers in my head) whereas understanding of mass-energy is more relevant to, say, policy debates).Yeah that's pretty interesting, I guess you don't really need to take a physics class to intuitively understand how motion/forces work. Also that's quite cool, I didn't fully appreciate how the applications special relativity can have.
