THE JOYS AND SORROWS OF ASSESSMENT FREE LIFE
Post-Trials Slump
WOOP WOOOOOOPPPP I'm finally done with all assessments. I gave my History Project in on Tuesday, and it was the greatest feeling ever. As always, I regret not working on it consistently throughout the year, but what's done is done! I feel a bit sorry for my teacher, who has given us 4 extensions HAHA
I've finished the content for all my subjects besides Modern and Legal, so I've been enjoying this. However, I can't seem to drag myself out of this post-trials slump. My brain is utterly fried from trials. BUT, there's only 2 months until Eng Paper 1 so I really need to get my shit togetherrrrr. I've finished all my notes basically, just need to work on some quote tables for Eng and some extra revision materials. In class, we've started revision and we're doing more timed writing, which I'm thankful for. We're revising the Common Module for Eng at the moment and getting back into it after 2 terms hurts my brain sm lol, plus Dobson's poetry is so inaccessible to most of us teens. (NESA making us write about old age and motherhood without having ever experienced the two)
The main thing I'm focusing on atm is my oral examination for Japanese in August. It's in less than a month so I need to practise speaking daily. It really requires a lot of motivation and dedication to practise speaking sigh. Going to start practising more with classmates and teachers. I'm waiting until I get my trials results back, so I can do a full reflection then
Some sad news. Graduations, formals and informal assemblies are cancelled
this is so tragic, we can't even celebrate our 13 years of schooling with our families and friends! I'm hoping this remains only until the end of this term, since these can perhaps be postponed to next term? I don't know if many would be willing to participate in school activities after HSC exams are over, but it feels so anti-climactic to just graduate with it seeming like every other year.
Anyways, I hope everyone is well. Thanks for reading!
