Hello! So here is my situation that is making me lose sleep over:
I'm going into year 11 this year with around 2 weeks of the Christmas break left. I have done unit 1/2 of both Psychology and Chinese SLA in year 10 and I've already submitted my forms into doing Chinese as well as taken the classes for year start.
However, I realised that it's going to be extremely difficult to receive a good mark in SLA (I'm aiming for a 35 raw :'0), as I came to Australia very young and my Chinese skill is very poor. My confidence level decreased significantly when all my older classmates and friends in did not receive above 40 in SLA when their Chinese is extremely good. My class is also TINY meaning we will have to get cross-marked on sacs and the situation for general conv and detailed study is not too pretty as well.
On the other hand I have done well in Psych all last year in 1/2, receiving all A+ in sacs, and I also love it and have the confidence to do well!
Honestly it's the knowledge of the scaling of the two subjects as well as the inconvenience (already missed year start and less time from holiday to make notes) and fear of disapproval I'm going to receive if I choose psych instead (because I'm chinese lol)
As the most indecisive being on this planet, I plead you to give me your view/experience with which one to choose. Psychology or Chinese SLA. Thank you!!! :')
Here's a table just for a better understanding C:
PSYCHOLOGY
PROS
- I love it a lot
- I've done very well in unit 1/2
- I feel confident in doing well
CONS
- It scales down :'0
- I've already missed classes of year start and do not have textbook to get a early right now during the holidays
- The process to change subject is a lot of trouble
- Many people will give me hell for changing (bc I'm chinese and it's the norm for us to do chinese)
CHINESE SLA PROS
- It scales up significantly (though not as much as SL >
)
- People won't judge me lmao ;;
CONS
- It's going to make my year tough because I don't enjoy it thus no motivation
- Nor am I good at it, so it will be really difficult for me to get above 30 raw I believe
Please help me! I would really appreciate it ><
