Title: khad's journey to that sweet, sweet 99.95
Post by: kjistsehrtot on June 06, 2019, 07:29:52 pm
yum, i love procrastinating by doing something that i think is productive, but really isn't.

i'm in year 10 (2019) and my semester 2 subjects are coming up soon and im doing bio unit 1. if you want to know why we are only offered a single unit of vce at year 10 for sciences but two for humanities, pm me, some things to know about me:

- i go to macrob
- my subjects for semester 2 (YEAR 10) are bio unit 1 (science subject), world game (sport, includes lacrosse, euro handball, etc.), german (language), folk and fairy tales (eng lang), maths (year 10, i didn't get into advanced) and architecture (arts/tech)
- i am always under some weird sort of stress, be it social, emotional, academic, incredibly personal, or just outright stupid, so im going to sound like a drama queen so bear with me
- i plan to do bio, chem, mathods, spesh, mainstream eng and german
- i need a 99.95 atar because i wanna get into med and get a scholarship
- my dumbass just learnt what vce is so i do not know which unis offer which scholarship but i want a 99.95 atar to just reach for the stars

06/06/2019:
- omg i literally just did my german listening test and i know i did so bad she kept looking at me like "hmm that aint it sis" and i messed up my writing task hooooooo boy
- also does no one on this site study vce german ;-;
- i have an oral tomorrow and i have not started yet imma just do it tonight, practice and do it on the train.
- "i dont think people are gonna be interested solely in your journey to vce but rather that you go to macrob" a friend of mine said this and i can not stop thinking about it. maybe theres some people who are interested in it but idk man
- im just so stressed. report writing day is next tuesday so maybe then i can breathe
- also what even is the morrisby test? im doing it next tuesday from home and if someone knows id appreciate the info

yeah im probably gonna update every week cuz year 10 for some isnt that interesting youkno. hopefully someone is like "this is my bible". doubt it but thatd be pretty funny lol

underneath (dont read if you cant be stuffed) is how year 10 subject selection works at macrob:

year round subjects: maths, language, english (different studies of english per semester), sports (different studies per semester)
semester based subjects: humanities, science and arts/tech or interdisciplinary

clearer summary of what im doing:
- year 10 maths
- essential sciences (already done) (includes biology, chemistry and physics)
- business and economics (already done)
- body balance (already done) (yoga, aerobics, dance, gymnastics)
- german
- literature, culture, revolution (already done) (modernism, post-modernism, romanticism, poetry) (literature-based)
- folk and fairy tales (basically, disney or original?) (language-based)
- world game (lacrosse, european handball)
- bio unit 1
- architecture (concept sketching, floor plans, elevations, 3d model)

Hey!

Nice to see your journal pop up! Do you have a favourite subject right now? :)

Do you have any strategies to deal with stress (like meditation / breathing exercises, physical activity, talking to someone, journaling etc)?

Wishing you the best for VCE (and beyond!) ;D

i literally have no favourite subjects right now, i honestly wish i did. i feel like next semester tho it'll be bio or architecture. my strategy to deal with stress is to create like a plan in my head and i do some breathing exercises as well. physical activity for whatever reason gives me more stress and talking to someone is like a 50/50 thing. but yeah thanks for asking <3

99.95 is an exceptionally high goal (you need to be in the top 0.05% of the state) and there are certainly  scholarships & med places offered for lower ATARs than that. That being said,  there's nothing wrong with having a high goal as long as you use it for motivation rather than feeling trapped by it.

Thanks for providing subject descriptions as otherwise I would've been completely lost ahaha.

Always having some kind of stressor is very relatable. When I was in year 10 I used to feel like I couldn't talk about my stress or stressors so I'm urging you to not close yourself off or feel you can't share those things.  Whether it's on here, to friends, family or a professional there's always someone you can talk to & often they'll appreciate being able to help and/or getting insight into your life .

Whatever your report is, it may be difficult to get through but then it's past. It's not going to impact your ATAR, uni or career.  In year 9 my science teacher didn't think I'd be able to handle VCE (a fair comment based on the space I was in) but by the end of year 11 I had a great relationship with them as my biology teacher and scored a 47 in that subject (top 0.7% of the state) .  It's certainly possible to turn things around if you don't get the results you're hoping for now!


That being said I wish you good luck :)

im aware that there are scholarships that do accept lower atars but i just really want a 99.95 so i have a lot of options available for me, plus i really want to make my parents proud and be proud of myself when looking back (doesn't mean i wont be proud of anything lower tho). i am trying to find someone who i can talk to my issues about but thats the last thing on my mind rn for whatever reason but thank you for your advice and info <3

I'm keen to hear more about this "world game" subject. Think I would have loved it based on what you've said so far. What kinda stuff do you do in each class?

we havent started world game as of yet, but for any sports subject a certain sport is done for two or three weeks and then we move onto the next. let's say for the first two or three weeks we do lacrosse and then we end up doing euro handball after. ill have to scour my papers to find what the subject entails but other than that that's how it is. health lessons are in between and i'm pretty sure we follow the curriculum guidelines for that. ill give some more info when the time comes <3

Nice one! Sounds cool - looking forward to hearing about it more when the time comes. Like I said, I reckon I would have loved that subject.

i know i said id update on friday but uhhh i forgot haha
23/06/2019
- oof another week of classes have gone by but all of them are pretty g so far
- why do i run laps for half the elsson in world game tho? a bit annoying but lacrosse is actually much more fun than i thought it'd be
- we're doing mental health rn for health and yall should really try "smiley mind" (it made me relax too much and i ended up falling asleep haha)
- folk and fairy tales is literally amazing oh my gOD our teacher made us play a kind of dungeons and dragons game and aaAAAAAH
- i also talked to some of my other friends who are doing folk and fairy tales (who aren't with me i barely know anyone in my class ;-;) and they aren't doing this??
- architecture is so much more work than i thought it would be. so much sketching, rubbing, researching and citing aaaaaaaaaah
- still pumped for the 3d model we have to make towrads the end
- bio is going really good but that's only because i covered these topics before in tutoring. anyways, im sure thisll help me consolidate things and maybe learn some more stuff i didnt know
- oooooh german is still so exhausting. i like it but its really tiring and i hope we can finish the final case (genitive) soon (cases are complicated to explain)
- we are doing quadratics in maths and thats the only subject that feels great rn but maybe not for long who knows
- wow people actually read my journal this is amazing i feel special

Lacrosse is a great sport! It's actually something I'd love to get into (at a super amateur level haha). What's your favourite part about it?

Also, Smiling Mind (assuming that's what you meant?) is super. I'd encourage you to keep at it. :)

i honestly just like how you can run with the ball and behind the goals, like it has much more freedom compared to basketball (i dont like it dont ask why i just dont)

and yes, it's smiling mind woops

Post by: kjistsehrtot on July 23, 2019, 06:40:58 pm
let's pretend i didn't forget about this :)))

23/07/2019
- world game is very tiring but we have no moved on from lacrosse to european handball
- we've covered microscopes, cells, organelles and now currently doing the plasma membrane and sa:v in detail
- i have a maths test on thursday regarding quadratics and parabolas (im going to cry i always forget how to factorise anything but monic quadratics)
- i did not realise architecture is a lot of work. i have done one concept sketch (an elevation) so far and im currently going to play with one point perspective with my 2nd concept sketch. hopefully i get all 6 done by sunday
- in german we did the perfect tense, health and fitness (going to the doctor's, what people should and shouldn't do for health, etc.) and now we are currently studying our house and where we live. german is going pretty well tbh
- and in folk and fairy tales we are just studying random disney movies (so far cinderella, princess and the frog, the little mermaid and snow white). right now tho i need to watch a video on the little mermaid and how dark of a story it really is and start collaborating with my group on our creative oral for snow white (is the original or disney version better?)
- also for folk and fairy tales, each person gets sebastian (a pop vinyl figure) for three days(?) and we have to do some sELf CaRe with him and take a photo and upload it onto some slides (basically my homework is: have fun)

i should also mention, my very first post said that i was doing year 10 maths (i didnt get into advanced) its because at macrob if you do advanced maths in year 9, you do year 10 maths. if youre in year 10 and you do advanced maths, you do methods 1/2

hopefully i will update next week if tomorrow isnt a full whirlwind hahA

Wow! Sounds like you are busy at the minute. Completely sympathise with you in regards to maths, did a probability test today and we have already moved on the quadratics. Hate factorisation with a passion! Enjoy your self-care with Sebastian!

thank you guys for reading this i feel so loved
28/07/2019
- in world game we had a theory/health lesson where we had to do like little scenarios about the "common thinking errors" and i had to pretend that a 97 on a maths test was bad anD IT KILLED ME (id die for a 97 in ANY subject rn tbh)
- ok so for bio we're doing the different diffusions(?) for plasma membrane in bio and we have to make a visual poster for it (these two girls did a "me and the boys" one it is so cool)
- for maths we did uhhh the set/index notation thingy because it somehow relates to quadratics  (ill update when i find out what the name is again)
- ok so im pretty close to finishing my concept sketches in architecture but like i might want to combine three buildings into one and make two or three more sketches
- ok so for german i had to write about my house and i forgot it at home so i quickly wrote a shitty one on the bus. my german teacher seemed somewhat proud that i still managed to do it even tho its 11/10 garbage. we also have german exchange students rn and theyre so nice and funny they are the reason why i am breathing
- oof for folk and fairy tales we finished watching the little mermaid and ok so we have something called question groups (kinda like dungeons and dragons) and every friday we have a "quest" (basically write a story or do an activity with your group) to do but this time we have to draw fan art or fan fiction inspired by certain photos she put up on google classroom and im doing pretty well rn
- oh yeah sebastian and i put on face masks lit lit

someone messaged me asking how im doing 1/2 bio when macrob only offer bio unit 1 for year 10. i go for tutoring for bio 1/2. so i did unit 1 bio earlier this year in tutoring but im now doing it in semester 2 (it was my free choice, not my main science subject, you can read the first post to see exactly what i picked and how subject selections in year 10 work at macrob). but at tutoring right NOW im doing unit 2 bio. confusing i know :,))

I think you can do it, as long as you out in the effort you can do it. Pick the subjects you have an interest in it will make studying a lot easier.
Quantity of study does not matter as much as quality.
Study smart.

Remember to put yourself first too. There is not point going to an exam and feeling terrible and not being able to recall the information you learnt.

Sleep is very important, this is how your brain consolidates the info you have learnt.

Good luck (:

- just for clarification, this was last week
- english we're studying mulan and we'll begin an analytical commentary on it
- maths we're just studying and preparing for our application task. fingers crossed i get above 80
- we did a prac in bio that will relate to our test on tuesday
- i think in sports it was our last lesson doing european handball and i think we're moving onto ultimate frisbee
- also in health we had to create a business with oUr PasSioNs so me and this one girl made a business called jewalicious muslimlicious, a building where it's a half synagogue and half mosque, where we also sell sushi and modest clothing (ill fight you if you steal my idea) (my friend: why would you say something so bold yet so brave?)
- we're doing genitive in german and i didnt do my homework because of valid excuses and she just looked at me like i was stupid i literally-

honestly the cohort is rlly good but the curriculum is kinda boring.. i mean we do't get to analyse Mulan..
i like my old school better because the acceleration program in my old school was more accelerated than suzanne cory's curriculum. Suzanne cory is much closer to my home so my parents made me write the edutest for suzanne cory but all my best friends went to mac rob lol

Spoiler
- OKAY I AM GOING THROUGH A CRISIS RN
- i have decided to drop german cuz the workload is gonna be too much for me
- however macrob forces you to do 6 subjects (i think its cuz of their funding??)
- sO I AM SO LOST
- my choices that ive decided on tho are like extended investigation, studio arts, theatre studies, global politics or applied computing
- if anyone reading this is currently doing these subjects or have done them, what was your experience like?

"wHeRe HaVe You BeeN?" said no one ever

i wanted to take a break since it was the holidays, but now prepare for information overload

05/10/19
- first week of holidays...
Spoiler
I DID NOTHING HAHAHHAHAHAH
- "did you go to any of the atarnotes lectures?"
Spoiler
HAHAHAHAHH NO BUT I PLANNED TO
- "what did you do then?" i only went to an iCanMed lecture and was pretty valuable info but like the actual program is super expensive is this normal or ucat tutors??
- i lost a 35 page german booklet with the entire thing completed so rn im printing it out and gonna do the whole thing cuz german is first period for me on monday :))))))))))
- i finished my technical drawings in architecture so thats good
- i need to finalise my bio unit 1 notes because the exams in week 7 jksahkjauhks
- i have a bio unit 2 test at tutoring in TWO WEEKS WHY DID SHE JUST TELL US
- im gonna finish my english draft tomorrow (a comparative on two versions of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves)
- why did my maths teacher send out a 7 page hw task like 4 days ago i have no idea what im doing
- i got my nails done so i look pretty at least
 
THIS PART IS IRRELEVANT STOP READING IF YOU HAVE A LIFE

basically my whole life i had roughly shoulder length hair. it wasnt until grade 6 my mum allowed me to grow it out. i got a keratin treatment a few weeks ago and basically, my hair was so long it reached a bit past my butt (not joking ill attach a pic soon). i was fine with it because i didnt wanna cut my hair. however, on tuesday i took a shower and was like "this is too much shampoo and condiitoner for one person to use". then while i was blow drying my hair, i was like "it takes an hour for me to fully blowdry my hair and forget about air drying". thats why the next day i cut my hair till shoulder length. at first i was like "whY DIDNT SHE ASK IF I WAS SURE OMG THIS IS GONNA LOOK SO BAD" but like when i saw it i was like "thaNK GOD SHE DIDNT TALK ME OUT OF IT OR SOMETHING" and yeah i thought that was a pretty brave thing for me to do because like, short hair looks really good on so many people. at the time while i had "short" hair in primary i thought i looked ugly and my self esteem is still really low so i convinced myself if i cut my hair id look disgusting and more of a mole rat. so for some people its like "whats the big deal? its just a haircut itll grow back", i assumed it wouldnt be like that for me. even if i went for a trim i would literally cry cuz i thought it looked horrendous. im really glad tho i did something that brave for me and aaaaaah this turned into me rambling so sorry :,))

anyways, have a good day guys and finish any holiday hw you have left over <33

i dont update this early but i just needed to rant

incoming rant 1

why does my german teacher think its an amazing idea to give us so much homework when she knows i have a maths test tomorrow and a lot of tution homework to do? "why dont you ask her to excuse you for a day or two?" im terrified of her. idk why but she just seems incredibly unapproachable to me. yesterday i passed out as soon as i got home because i was so tired and sick and i still am, yet, i have sat down for an hour and a half to do some work and im not even done yet. im literally so angry and upset beyond words.

end of rant 1

incoming rant 2

ok so for speech night, our school takes singing rehearsals very seriously. so instead of the regular singing teacher, someone else came in and filled in. now with the regular teacher i get annoyed cuz my back cant go any straighter and my body can not physically produce anymore twang. however, she at least knew how to control the, mind you, WHOLE SCHOOL while singing. this replacement only had year 9 and 10 (still a lot, i dont dismiss that), yet, she couldnt control any of us. we had teachers on duty walking around so why the fuck were the girls behind me constantly talking and laughing? like i mentioned it to a mutual friend of ours and she just brushed it off. like, if you dont like it, just shut up and let the rest of us try dude

end of rant 2

- i didnt get kld but i didnt expect to either
- i painted my cas but some people asked me like "will they let you take it into an exam?' so now my maths teacher is confirming it for me :,))
- i realised all my views on politics is "who cares? let's just die of climate change already" so i picked up accounting
- jk i actually read through the study design and found it interesting and also found out one teacher (who's amazing i love him) is teaching it so lets see how that goes next year
- guYS IM MAKING PROGRESS ON MY MODEL IN ARCHITECTURE
- i cut myself on my forearm yesterday by accident tho while i was cutting out my walls ;-;

hopefully this week is less stressful by next week. doubt it tho. next week i have my bio unit 2 exam so im so fucked : )))))))))))

Shame to hear about KLD, I'm sure you gave it a great shot. As for how you're feeling about the climate, I think we all feel like there's no hope at times. My friend today said she thinks it will probably be better for the earth if humanity dies out, especially if we do it soon. (Don't disagree with her there.) My friend is doing my cas for me (she's done heaps for all of our friends). I really liked the sunflowers she did, and her space themed one. She's painting fish for me. ;D What does your cas have on it?

my geL NAIL CHIPPED AND SOMEHOW HALF MY HAIR IS NORMAL AND THE OTHER IS WAVY WHAT HAVE I DONE

rant #3
Spoiler
some people in advanced say "ask me for help if you ever need it", yet complain about how people come up and ask for help and get annoyed when you ask. i know its annoying but if you dont want to help just say so. our school's very understanding so just saY NO

journal time

- i have submitted my comparative essay with an extension (praise be to my teacher) but idk what we will be doing next so we will find out tomorrow
- we have began probability in maths and even tho we just started it, i kinda like it now??? like i hate probability and statistics but lets see
- health and sport is going same old same old. kinda excited to get pe over and done with this year tho
- architecture is going amazing. i am a god. i will create tiny houses for all. just kidding, but its going pretty well tho cuz my walls arent 7m anymore wOOps
- we have started homeostasis in bio and im so stressed for my exam hnNnNgh
- next wednesday i THINK (not 100% sure) i have to go on an excursion for bowling and laser tag for sport and next monday i get to go to the zoo for bio so that means party time

read spoiler if you care about tutoring lmao
Spoiler
- ok so i went to an info sesh about chem tutoring and im like kinda funny with chem but im so psyched to go yAy (for real, no sarcasm here folks)
- in chem i personally like the theories more than the actual chemical equations bc im dumb and idk how to do that so hopefully i wont be screwed over for next year
- my bio tutor had to delay our 3/4 until next year i think because she has a family emergency so i hope all goes well for her and her family
- ooooh boy the methods tutor im gonna (hopefully) go to hasnt responded about when hes starting classes so kinda stressed but still
- idk if i wanna keep doing english tutoring cuz like, its expensive and im already good at english and i think shes already helped refine some of my skills so maybe ill go a few months to her and see if i wanna keep going to her or not

hey so, people should also know that im not going to a tutor because everyone else has one, its because i know my pattern of studying and i feel as though tutors really encourage me to get my work done, understand the concepts better and clarify things. im not there to waste time but honestly in group tutoring it feels like some parents force their kids to go cuz theyre gonna become these 99.95 kids when really they dont wanna be there. i sound like im on a weird higher level than these kids but sometimes its frustrating not bc theyre distracting the class but theyre wasting their time when they could be at home doing whatever they thought would help them and i feel like parents/guardians need to be very considerate of this bc their and their kid's energy and time go into it but also (usually) their parents' money. i think we really need to kind of stop the idea overall like "i need a tutor because everyone has one" and get a tutor if they think they really need it. idk where i was going with this lmaO

also i kinda wanna make a discord server with some people who are in year 10 this year so hmu if you think youd like to join or if its a good idea

have a wonderful day and good luck on those assessments and assignments everyone!! <33

UPDATE:
MY 40 SCRUNCHIES HAVE CAME JBKJDSB

Spoiler
stressing : )))

- for maths i just had my polynomial test and it went better than expected and we're doing probability and its killing meeeee
- german is a pain in the ass rn. so many tests and so much hw and at this point im slowly giving up.
- english is going amAZING seriously its so easy going at the moment
- we are doing netball in world game ooooooh and we have to do a roleplay in health where im this disgusting kid who keeps throwing balls to my neighbours
- omgomgomgomgomgomg bio assignment is going pretty well. i thought it would be so much work but its not even that bad tbh. we had an excursion to the zoo and tbh the only attraction at melbourne zoo are how many seagulls are there (for real, i loved the lemurs) and for my bio assignment i picked to study how to conserve asian elephants and its actually kind of fun uwu
- architecture omg i finished my first floor im so proud of myself but i need to take my folio home and finish off my floor plan and my 2 point perspective aaaaaaaaaaaah

im really glad german is almost over for me (same with pe). its way too intense for me and i cant handle it rn so idk how im supposed to handle it in vce. rn tho ive just been having some personal issues with some people and im stressed about some subjects so lets see how i go :,))

unneccesary update:

- im really upset at the moment as ive just found out there was an air force cadet squadron i could join. for those who dont know, macrob doesnt offer the cadet program anymore. the reason why i cant join it is because i dont know how the stress of vce will affect me and i have to do the program for at least a year. its really unfortunate timing for me and im upset about that
- aside from that, chem tutoring went amazing and i think ill actually understand chem
- i kinda wanna start a bullet journal after seeing my friends but i might go with a minimalist theme if i do so
- im obsessed with the neko atsume game and i keep checking my phone for more cats to come oof
- like its imaginary cats but i still want more??
- i downloaded episode and even tho everyone hates it, heres some stories to read: the bunny boiler, I married a millionaire, psychotic lover, all aboard and blood lust
- ive screenshotted a few scenes because theyre just funny. some prime examples "*laughs in misogyny*", "LOL I HATE YOU" and "she's a little too edgy for my taste"
- one thing i dont appreciate tho is that for the stories written by episode, some of the good options you need to pay gems for. however, a while ago i was watching a youtuber play episode and when they used the gem option it actually didn’t turn out the way it expected so i decided to play the same story myself without any gems. needless to say, gems do not equal best outcome

ill come back with a full report on wednesday or friday about school. i just wanted to talk about how it’s going for me Rn and stuff. have a good day and good luck on those exams <333

Hellow, your journal is super cool and I've literally spent so much time reading it right now. And yes, I'm finally on atarnotes :))
And about the part with people getting unnecessarily annoyed about helping people when they said themselves that people can approach them for stuff, I've had experience with an accel person like that at school, if you don't wanna help, it's all good, I can always find someone else to help me with trig. A perk of MacRob is that you get a lot of connections once you get in, because people are just really easy to talk to and if you say no to something, we'll just understand and find someone else, you're not the sole person I'm looking to seeking help from so don't worry

No, don't worry, it's not you. I asked quite a few people for help with trig and you were moreover one of the people who actually helped me when I needed it, so thank you :)
It was someone else, and after it seemed that she was kinda busy/ didn't really wanna do it, I just started studying on my own and you just appeared at the perfect moment  0:)
and the LRC is kinda ew so I get where you're coming from sjdghsf

Spoiler
a princess falls in love with a poor man and their love is so strong, yet forbidden, that they will do anything morally and ethically questionable to keep each other in their lives (e.g. arson, robbery, homicide)
- in health we're doing a roleplay about responding to situations. we have to give three types of responses; passive, aggressive and assertive and conclude which is the most logical response (SPOILER: ITS ASSERTIVE)

- we are still doing probability for maths and i dont like it very much. i dont have a reason why, i just dont like probability compared to everything else

Hey Khad!

Just found your super interesting journal and I love where it is going so far ;D
How are you adjusting to the new school year? What are your current favourite subjects and do you have any goals of what you want to do this year?

I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of your journal this year :D

10/03/2020

hey guys, i know i said id update this journal but im so sorry i took a while to do that. ive been really focused on school at the moment and ive hardly found time for myself, let alone to update this. but here i am yay!!

so the subjects im doing at this moment in time are:
- specialist maths 1/2
- accounting 1/2
- methods 1/2
- chem 1/2
- english 1/2
- bio 3/4

so lets see how im doing in all of them rn

spesh:
Spoiler
OH MY GOD I DID NOT REALISE THIS WAS ACTUALLY HARD. ok i actually need to focus most of my time on spesh rn and thank god for this upcoming four day weekend. my main issue is that majority of my class is doing methods 3/4, so the teacher doesn't remember that some of us don't know what concepts she's talking about. but its my responsibility to catch up and these last two tests were jus yikes

methods:
Spoiler
methods is going pretty smoothly. i have the same teacher as i did last year and he is literally amazing i love him sm hes gonna caRRY me to success. i doubt i did too well on my first test though but we have room for improvement!!

english:
Spoiler
hahahahhaha i did not read any of the assigned novels and i had to write a creative response to "the wife of martin guerre" but i think i did pretty well?? now we're analysing "stolen" (play) and it's honestly fun yet depressing at the same time if you know what it's about

accounting:
Spoiler
LITERALLY FREAKING LOVE THIS SUBJECT. as long as you like numbers accounting is a breeze imo. it is frustrating when the balance sheet does not balance and then you have to go back and kEEP trYinG. im doing pretty well on all the tests so far so ive got this.

chem:
Spoiler
my teacher for chem isnt the greatest so god bless my tutor. literally the only person i can understand chem from and that is genuinely the only reason why im doing well in chem rn. we havent had any tests per say, just a shit ton of pracs. but im pretty confident that ill ace any chem test rn.

bio:
Spoiler
the only thing people care about; my only 3/4. i had my first SAC and i was confident but then it went down when people kept asking m what i got for certain questions because now i think ive gotten half of them wrong and this is literally going towards my atar. so for my next sac im gonna study the crap out of it. otherwise i think i can do this??

wow, now time for my personal thoughts:
my school does not give any of its kids jackshit to do in year 9 and 10, yet, expect them to handle all of it in year 11 and 12. this has incredibly messed me up and ive lost my rhythm. i now have motivation to do well and i have to try my absolute best to catch up with everything and get on top of my game. i would appreciate it if people constantly asked me about what ive done this week for this subject and so on so forth because i dont think most the people who read my journal want to know about that?? (if you do let me know so then i can give the people what they want uwu)

andddddd, time for questions:
How are you adjusting to the new school year? What are your current favourite subjects and do you have any goals of what you want to do this year?
adjustment to this school year is hard buT I CAN DO THIS BBY. my current favourite subjects are accounting and english, mainly because im doing well in them but i just have fun in those subjects. my goals for this year is to just get like B's and A's in all of my subjects, maintain good mental health and litERALLY just glow up because istg i look like a sewer rat 24/7.
YAY! So excited to see your journey this year!! What are you most excited for?
im excited for the summer holidays!! jk j, hopefully i can attend some atarnotes events and meet some of my LoYaL fAnS

have a nice day guys <33

hey khad, I can totally relate to losing your rhythm, my school also made years 9 and 10 so fun, so the transition to year 11 was initially difficult but it does get better.

Regarding your bio sac, the best advice would be to just try to forget about it after you've done it. Sometimes peoples nerves can get on you as well and that feeling sucks. How are you enjoying the content in bio rn? Easy, Hard? If you've read the study design what topic are you looking most forward to studying in bio? For me personally it is the immunity section (although i've heard from people in the past that is the hardest lol)

PS: (READ YOUR ENGLISH NOVELS!)

PS: (READ YOUR ENGLISH NOVELS!)

the content in bio so far is pleasant, aside from protein synthesis, because that's so much to unpack. i feel like every single thing in bio is linked together, so you have to constantly revise but it isn't much work revision wise?? i have no idea if that makes sense or not though, but i do happen to be enjoying bio!!

the topic i'm looking forward to the most is human change over time. no idea why, but evolution fascinates me so much. immunity is also something i'm looking forward to but i'm more hyped for unit 4 in all honesty.

+ i will never read my novels hehehe

Post by: kjistsehrtot on March 10, 2020, 07:35:04 pm
yall i forgot that some people acc not only just care about school
personal update (10/03/2020):
- i had my birthday on the 1st of feb (yEs im a month late i am aware) and i actually had a lot of fun OwO
- skipped swimming carnival because ummmm i live too far away from the cbd to leave around 6pm and then be expected to go to school the next day because chances are im gonna get home at 9pm
- also my little sister is hardly 10 and she can bake like a gOD like i could never (i prefer cooking way more to baking)
- fun fact: found out that daiso has highlighters (unfortunately only 10) similar to mildliners. so if you're like me, way too cheap for their own good, there's a bargain
- guYS I FOUND A SKINCARE ROUTINE THAT WORKS
Spoiler
ok here is how we go:
- glycolic acid scrub 14% (i KNOW ITS VERY HIGH BUT IT REALLY WORKS FOR ME BUT PLEASE KNOW IT DOES NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE)
- 3 in 1 garnier scrub, using it as a 2 in 1 cleanser and exfoliator at this point (the regular one because the charcoal one smells nasTY)
- this neutrogena soap that i got from overseas as a cleanser (no i am not selling soap illegally, i'll gladly sell some toilet paper)
- going back to that 3 in 1 garnier scrub thing but as a mask (wow, so damn revolutionary)
- wash that off with neutrogena one more time ladies and gents
- neutrogena hydroboost gel mask with hyaluronic acid (ok if you buy this mask it has flaps that go OVER your eyelids and lips which is so weird but vv moisturising)
- vaseline (YES VASELINE DONT COME FOR ME) on my eyelids, lashes and lips + anything that seems really dry
- aloe vera gel for my face and neck
- and if my skin is REALLY dry then some rosehip oil

now some things about the products i use:
- glycolic acid is a VERY harsh ingredient and if you know your skincare, you know 14% is way too high. yes, i do have permission from a professional that i can use this specific scrub so please do not go seeking for this product without consultation because this can cause damage to your skin
- the garnier 3 in 1 product is NOT for everyone. it just happens to work for me but for some people, it can be harsh. on top of that, the mask says to leave it on for five minutes, but i leave it on for twenty because i see no adverse side effects and it just works much better at that point for ME (see how i'm saying for me, and not for you??)
- vaseline on your lashes and brows along with castor oil wiLL MAKE THEM GROW. i already have naturally curly and long lashes so it doesnt worry me too much but i swear it works
- i hardly use any peel off masks and when i do its just for fun (any skincare guru on youtube will tell you why they arent the best)
- i only use pore strips in case my nose really wont be vibing with my routine (combo skin be like-)

ok rant time from an angry person (with surprisingly correct grammar this time):
I am so sick of how childish and inappropriate some people are at our school. Chances are, most of you know what school I go to by now (if not, too bad uwu) and you're thinking "wow, from YOUR school?" Yes, from my school. Every year we have a Red Cross Calling event, where you either skip some of the school day or go afterschool on the streets with coin shakers and ask for money. Basically, you're the people who hand out UberEats cards except the money goes to a better place(?). So, this is a really popular event that happens in our school once a year and by popular, I mean like if one of the Kardashians was having a free meet and greet at Fed Square. So a friend and I decided that we will wait and then put our names on the Google Sheet for the 8:30 slot. Well, there were over 300 people on it and my computer and phone crashed along with my friend's. So we were panicking and they sent out the email again. I still remember being the first person on one specific box on the 8:30 slot and I put my name and my friend's name. I'm just sitting there, observing the sheet. And then, ladies and gentlemen, I see someone highlight my name (if you don't know, you can see whatever anyone does on a google suite thing if it's shared with them), and deletes it. Then they delete my friend's. These weren't the people who were organising the event. No, they were actual students deleting names off of the sheet so they could put it there. My friend and I were forced to go to a much later slot and, yes, I know at the end of the day it is for charity, HOWEVER, it is incredibly childish, in my opinion, to actually go ahead and do that. The committee who organised this apologised because they saw the entire shitshow that was Red Cross Calling signups. I'm glad I have the opportunity to do this, because there are so many people who missed out. But at a school like mine, surely you'd think common decency would be common. buT I GUESS NOT :)))))

anywAys i kind of want to change my format because it is a bit boring and i just want to make it more engaging for you guys and if these personal updates; do you guys want them on a separate post or just on the same post?

have a good day!! <33

These are literal gifts sent by the gods. Can we just give a round of applause to Daiso for being the shop it is? I've been using these for years and by far have been my favourite! (Mildliners are soooooo pricey!)

I literally heard about this and my lord, that is seriously out of control! Like hOW DOes thAT HappEN??
You would think from the outside, people can show some common sense, but till you get to see the inside out, you start to get surprised on what really is going on. It is such a scandal what some people will try to pull just to get their way. You did the right thing by being fair, but then there are some people out there that take advantage of certain situations and use it for their own good.

(btw, I love your skin care routine! Sounds good and I sort of what to try something similar to it now~I kinda like the personal updates on a separate post because it means I can get my popcorn ready before I start reading it lol)

Thanks for updating Khad! Hope to see another update in the future~~

Yes, so far everything we have learnt is linked, which honestly makes revising way easier.

Human evolution is also really fascinating, right after immunity in my book's, but it's great your enjoying your 3/4!

omg thank you!! but like if you or anyone else wants to try something similar to my skin routine or have the same one, just know that the products i use can be really harsh chemically and physically and if you want me to actually take photos of the products id be more than happy to!! also ill keep in mind about personal updates on another post hehe <33

holy shit i definitely am dropping this next year. this is far too much for me. if you've been reading since last year, you'll know how much work i got in german. well, turns out spesh is exactly like that. literally i hate this sm, im going to try and study, but its frustrating since majority of our class is methods 3/4 and she assumes EVERYONE, including methods 1/2, knows whats going on and its just too much. does anyone do further and what are their thoughts on it? would i have any issues from spesh 1/2 to further 3/4 next year? or is it best for me to study general 1/2 over the break to catch up?

chem:

literally, if it wasn't for tutoring, id be failing chem. i know i should be listening to my teacher in class out of respect, but i cant. its not because im that person whos like "uM mY tUtOr HaS gOnE tHrOuGh ThiS sO i DoNt HaVe To LiSteN". its because the teacher explains it in such a confusing way, even my prior knowledge gets mixed up. hence, i zone out or just do questions during class or tutoring wok relevant to the lesson. i feel bad but at the same time, id rather do something productive than nothing in class. honest thoughts on this?

english:

LOVE THIS MY GOD THE ONLY SUBJECT I AM DOING WELL. we are currently reading the play "stolen" and it is absolutely heart breaking, however, it is so much fun to analyse, because practically everything can be and everything has a powerful meaning. literally love this so much

accounting:
Spoiler
im doing alright in accounting, like i feel like i can do much better, but like with my attitude of "you don't need accounting 1/2 to do 3/4 its all g" + my current lack of motivation = don't do anything unless you have to. an abhorrent situation, so hopefully i can get over this slump real quick.

my opinion on online schooling:
can you believe all the homeschool kids are mocking us for complaining about online school? never thought this day would come oof. my school often runs a day or two where we do have "school from home", which was always kind of fun. but now that it is every day, i hate it. no longer can i have in-depth discussions with any of my classmates or teachers. i live quite far from my school (the only upside being no more 1hr+ travel time) and i often saw my friends at school, so now i cant even see them which sucks eggs. however, we have to deal with this for now, due to the current situation. plus, i think we should consider ourselves lucky, since some schools (not in Australia, or maybe even here) can't even continue to learn with their teacher or classmates in some way like this. in conclusion, it sucks, but let's suck it up uwu.

i do have three things to ask of you guys, if you don't mind:

1. how can i gain even a small amount of motivation? (a small amount does a LOT for me seriously)
2. they say you don't need general to do further, but further kids, is that true?
3. what are your thoughts on someone doing work similar/other than the classwork the teacher is currently doing in the class at the time in front of them?

stay safe, hydrated, healthy and wash your hands <33

2. they say you don't need general to do further, but further kids, is that true?
3. what are your thoughts on someone doing work similar/other than the classwork the teacher is currently doing in the class at the time in front of them?

1. This is a really tough question. I had a period during my year 12 where I had absolutely 0 motivation for about two weeks straight in term 3. I did not open my bag a single time at home during those two weeks. Got home, ate, messed around and slept. Quite literally 0 work done. In my case, this was simply a result of the inevitable burn out. I honestly don't know what got me back on track. It just happened. If you're feeling a sort of slump like I did I would honestly just try and ride it out. We all need a break from time to time and this won't always happen at a convenient time.

Other than that, while I know this is drilled into eye-rolling students all the time, it is honestly so important to get some sort of exercise and fresh air. This did wonders for my productivity and counter-intuitively gave me MORE energy. Highly recommend going out for a walk at the very least daily.


2. You do not need to do general to do further. While the content covered is quite similar and the general students might have more background knowledge going into the subject, the content is quite manageable so you will not be disadvantaged if you work at it.


3.  This is something that will vary from teacher to teacher. I think it's firstly important to respect that the teacher is there for you and puts in a lot of work before the class to ensure they can teach you what you need to know. That said, teachers are often also very understanding and flexible in terms of this aspect as long as you can show that you are doing what you need to do.

For me personally, I worked decently hard in the summer holidays leading up to year 12 and was roughly a month ahead in my subjects other than English. My teachers were very accommodating as they knew I had done all the homework before it was even set and I was not messing around in class. For this reason (and my performance on assessments), with my teachers' permission, I was allowed to work at my own pace with earphones in ignoring what was going on in class. I should mention that I still made sure I only worked on that specific subject's content. I.e I didn't start doing Methods work in Chemistry. I would have felt that I was disrespecting my teacher if I did that.

This was a massive privilege and I was very fortunate to have teachers that would allow this. Not all teachers would let you do this and in my opinion, it is completely understandable.

Ultimately I think it will depend on both your teacher and the reason why you feel that you need an exception to do other work during the class. If you feel you have a reason that is good enough, definitely approach your teacher and negotiate something. Teachers are actually very kind people!

every time I've been in a slump I have done that and it does always work hahaha. maybe I'm just panicking because its VCE and we're currently in a weird situation and everything. but yes, I need to get more fresh air and exercise so I can quickly get out of this

I have a short attention span, so I end up doing other things in class sometimes that isn't what we are doing. however, I always try and keep it to the subject. my teacher is aware that I do know the things he covers in class, but I can't help but feel bad that I still don't listen, since he does work really hard to prepare notes and a presentation for every topic. however, I don't want to sit in a class and not be mentally stimulated (omg that sounds so weird). it does give me some reassurance though, that what I'm doing might not necessarily be disrespectful

Hi Khad, ;D

You won't believe how excited I got when I saw a new update
haha i forgot about this for a bit

20/04/2020 (blaze it)
- ladies and gentlemen, I no longer have ANY motivation!!1! :D
- seriously, i have no motivation anymore and it's frustrating because all of my work and studying is being compromised, so any tips on how to gain even a small amount will be greatly appreciated :,))

Let's get that motivation back on track!! *Proceeds to give you bags of motivation*
Don't worry, we all have our times when we don't feel like doing anything, but little baby steps are good even if they are not much as they do lead up to a big achievement in the end. ;)
Maybe make a mini checklist and once you get something done, REWARD YOURSELF WITH FOOD

i do have three things to ask of you guys, if you don't mind:

1. how can i gain even a small amount of motivation? (a small amount does a LOT for me seriously)
2. they say you don't need general to do further, but further kids, is that true?
3. what are your thoughts on someone doing work similar/other than the classwork the teacher is currently doing in the class at the time in front of them?

I think motivation wise, it's just a matter of finding yourself? What I mean by that is what your future goals are and just taking small steps at a time and giving yourself time to breathe. Very hard to stay motivated if you burn out too quickly so try and be active and stay healthy (I'm such a bad role model for this bit here). it's about finding the motivation in yourself and I totally get you, sometimes my friends are super motivated and I'm like 'where on Earth did you get that spirit from?' but really it comes down to personal goals and future aspirations. Sometimes it might be just talking to someone and seeing their perspective or just having a breather. I think the best thing I've ever learnt from someone is that if you don't feel like doing anything, literally don't do anything.

Further bro, you don't need anything 100%. Maybe knowing how to do spreadsheets on CAS but that's literally it.

In regards to your third point, it really depends on the situation. I personally would work with your teacher on this one. For most of my classes right now, I'm quite ahead in everything and what I try to do is regularly talk to my teachers and find what the class plan in for the term. In methods (this was about a month ago), I told my teacher how far ahead I was and the next day, she literally brought in 7 freshly printed exams and dumped them right on my desk as she taught the rest of the class. I'm really grateful to have understanding teachers and its just a matter of communication and being respectful of one another. I would never do another subject in a certain class as its really sad for the poor teacher and secondly because you usually learn more in the second go I try to interact in certain classes if I can. ;D

alright so so far a lot of people are telling me the same things about further so I'm less concerned about that now so that's good. my chem teacher doesn't really offer me any extra work so i take it upon myself to do questions related to the class or tutoring work and he doesn't seem to mind tbh but like i just don't want to be a rat of a student that's all

You won't believe how excited I got when I saw a new update

i absolutely refUSE to believe that (dw tho the personal update is coming soon hehe)

personal update (22/04/2020):
- i may not have done any work in the holidays, but i sure have made a new skincare routine
Spoiler
- your girl double cleanses now (sukin cream cleanser + overseas neutrogena water-based soap)
- gentle sukin exfoliator + pixi AHA/BHA exfoliator (if my skin is really acting up, then our 14% glycolic acid and 3 in 1 garnier face wash)
- spray on toner (innisfree or sukin)
- mositurise!1! (sukin facial moisturiser or face oil if my face is dry)
- sunscreen if i decide to go out and get some exercise but that never happens hehe
- so i spent an hour and a half on my makeup, playing around with the e girl blush look anddddd it just looks like me on a hot day and it is cute but my expectations were too high
- also sort of a flex but i can't put on falsies properly because my eyelashes are too long and curly (naturally- I'm sorry) and they get in the way
- so if anyone has any tips on putting falsies on that'd be great
- oh yes i finished my bio holiday hw yesterday that was very cool
- i cooked quite a bit (fried rice, pasta, shepherd's pie, biryani, etc.)
- i tRIED baking but I'm just gonna leave that for my little sister because i can not tolerate it

well, that's it for now. if i wanna share anything else I'll put it onto this post. until next time,

stay safe everyone <33

i am able to get my sac mark back, but did i forget to ask? ofc i did!! also i haven't submitted my holiday hw yet because i haven't even done half of it, so guess who'll be rushing to complete that tonight? that's right, mE. my teacher did ask if i was ok but i didn't respond because im hella embarrassed and angry at myself for not doing it so im just gonna do it and tell her i was being lazy and it wont happen again. legit i can NOT slack off in this at all and just bc it happened once doesn't mean i cant recover and not do it ever again.

What separates the people who do well and understand spesh from the people who don't? Asking from the perspective of a year 10 student wanting to do spesh next year  :)

in my opinion, spesh is supposed to be challenging and a lot of work and dedication needs to go into it. one thing that throws me off the most is the way questions are worded and worded problems in general. along with that, i find the reason as to why I'm struggling in spesh a lot is because majority of my class is doing methods 3/4, while a few of us are doing 1/2 so our teacher assumes that we all know what she's talking about when in reality some of us don't. like i said, that's a personal issue of mine, however, i feel as though you need to spend a lot of time and effort on spesh. a friend of mine called chopsticks can provide you with some more insight since we are in the same spesh class at school <33

usual: "lets forget that i forgot about this for a hot second" tidbit

21/07/2020

hello i hope we are all doing quite well during these trying times, especially to the vce kids out there (dandrews really said "vce kids who?"). lets just get straight into what I've been doing for the past three months in each subject

biology 3/4:
since we have completed unit 3 and began unit 4 this semester (which is quite late compared to some other schools), i thought i would give a rating out of ten for each topic we did:
cell membrane + transport: 7, basic easy stuff from 1/2
biomacromolecules: 9.5, super easy to grasp imo
gene expression: 6, it's just quite a bit
enzymes/biochemical pathways: 9, also quite easy to grasp
cellular respiration: 7, not that bad uwu
photosynthesis: 6, what even is a GAP molecule idk
cellular signals: 8, easy to get, kind of boring
immunity (overall): 3, there's so much content and it took me forever to understand bc I'm dumb

so what have i done for the past three months in bio? "good question" - Shrek. jk i made summary sheets for each and every chapter and decided to memorise them. i know i knOW, rote learning is apparently forbidden but it just helps me sm more in answering questions. i also did every single chapter review question in the Heinemann textbook (idk why we don't use the textbook but yeah haha) and just a few vcaa practice exams. my sac's went pretty ok, but i don't really want to talk about those since it just stresses me out way too much (you can pm me since I'm more comfortable talking about it there).

I've just been doing my tutoring homework and for anyone who is considering doing tutoring for bio 3/4, please remember it's as if you're taking on an extra subject (if you do it seriously). but so far it's going great. at tutoring we're basically halfway done with unit 4? I'm so shook because we just started unit 4 this semester. i thought evolution was great at first then we moved on to gene technology and my god, what was wrong with me? evolution really is just a pain in the ass.

chemistry 1/2:
i hated chemistry in year 9 and 10, mainly because my teacher wasn't the greatest and i couldn't fully learn from him. now in year 11 (and because of tutoring oOp) i actually understand? even my chem teacher that i said confused me even more isn't confusing me anymore? this is acc amazing right now I'm so happy about this. lets do a quick review of each topic it from chem:

elements + the periodic table: 8, it's quite standard but a bit boring imo
metals + ionic compounds: 8, also same reason as above
moles and other calculations: 11, yes 11/10, it's such an easy idea to grasp
non-metals: 6, confused me so much when we first did them
organic chemistry + polymers: 9.5, a lot to remember but it's quite interesting

again, i feel like if you do tutoring, you should take it as seriously as you would for another subject to get the best outcome if you do struggle in the subject. my chem tutor is amazing and helped me learn everything that i could have possibly missed in year 9 and 10 and i don't think my school could've helped me with that so i greatly appreciate her for spending time with me <33

methods 1/2:
honestly... i hate methods. it's not that it's bad. i just hate it i have no idea why. my teacher is a literal god, like he explains a concept and it's just stuck with me for the rest of my life, but i really don't like methods. "then why are you doing it". prerequisites unfortunately :(. topic run down again:

linear + quadratic relationships: 10, just consolidation uwu
domain, range + transformations: 5, just eh
functions and relations: -1, i hate this so much even though i have to use this until 3/4 methods, i just hate it
polynomials: 6.5, year 10 extension work, not even
circular functions + index laws: 5, i didn't like this in year 10, and i tried to like the unit circle, but no <3
exponentials and logarithms (cont. into semester 2): 9, logs are really interesting to me

yeah, i have no idea why i hate methods so much. in comparison to spesh it's absolute garbage imo. but for the uni prereq, i just gotta plow through (@ my future self, did you drop methods you loser?)

specialist 1/2:
remember when i said i wanted to drop spesh? yeah, i don't want to drop it anymore. like as the year went on, i actually found myself understanding spesh and being able to apply my knowledge to the questions. and i was enjoying it so much? like this is absolutely fantastic. i think i just needed to get on top of my shit and I'm so glad i did. topic run down:

trigonometry: 7, again, similar stuff in year 10
algebra: 10, nothing new, except it is more challenging which makes it more fun hehe
variation: 8, a new concept, but quite easy to grasp
sequences and series: 7.5, it's alright but there are much more interesting things in spesh
circle geometry: 5, it was just ok, i don't necessarily enjoy geometry
polar coordinates + complex numbers: 9, i never knew i could be interested in fake numbers
vectors: 7, not that hard to get, but it is quite confusing at times
kinematics (cont. into semester 2): 9, i know it's basically physics, but it's an easy concept to get and fun to apply in questions

i know i did a full 180 on my opinions of spesh, but I'm so glad i didn't drop this subject and gave it a chance because it's currently one of my favourites. anyone thinking of doing spesh, go for it!!

english mainstream 1/2:
english has just been ok so far. let's look at the topic rundown so maybe i can explain it a bit better:

the wife of martin guerre: 2, an absolute horrible book. if you haven't read this and you're excited to, don't. give up.
creative writing: 4, this was in regards to WoMG and because of my incredible dislike for this book, i hated creative writing.
Spoiler
why is martin filled with sm toxic masculinity it's so overbearing like yoU LEFT BERTRANDE FOR MORE THAN A DECADE WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHINGggGGgg
stolen: 7, a play regarding the stolen generation. there was at a point where i related to one of the characters (not going to say who sorry) that i almost started crying. even if you aren't studying this, you should try and read this
language analysis: 6, i typically don't like language analysis but i don't hate it. nevertheless, it makes me want to pick up literature instead

for me in semester 1, it really depended on what text we studied. WoMG was such an infuriating read for me. i know that during the time it had set place society was different, but it just bothered me so much. in conclusion, if i met martin, i probably would've punched him-. stolen is a bit confusing when you read it because the setting out is much more different than any other piece I've seen before (i sound like I have a PhD in english and i know what im talking about) but it is so moving to me. watch my friends read my post and make fun of me for almost crying. semester 2 is going to be a comparative writing pieces between jane austen's persuasion (50 words and we get absolutely nowhere ugh) and crazy rich asians (yes the movie, finally we can stop reading).

accounting 1/2:
have absolutely no idea what to pick as a sixth subject when your school makes you pick six? i picked spesh, but if you want an "easy" subject, go for accounting. it's very straightforward with hardly any theory (plus if you go to the same school as i do, there's only one teacher and he is amazing). quick topic rundown:

basic book-keeping: 10, anyone can do this with their eyes closed, seriously
adding GST: 10, again, nothing too different from the basics
bank reconciliations: 8, slightly confusing at first but easy after
accounts receivable + accounts payable: 8, also confusing at first but it gets better
classifying reports: 9, a bit boring but again, not the hard to get
KPI's: 7, a bit complicated, again, it becomes a breeze once you know how to do it
breakeven (cont. semester 2): 8.5, much more different than the previous accounting exercises, but not a difficult concept

for some people, accounting is incredibly boring and it becomes frustrating if you can't complete the balance sheet at the end (trust me it's so satisfying if you can do it on your first try) but if you really don't know what to do, try and give accounting a go



anyways, i hope you and your loved ones are doing well. please stay safe and hydrated <33
