wowow time flies hey
Here are the official subjects I'm doing this year + brief thoughts:
Accounting: love it, kind of difficult to catch up on, being one of only three non-U1/2-ers, but my teacher is absolutely amazing and the subject is so fun that I love studying it
Chemistry: I wasn't a fan of this last year because of my teacher but I have one of my favourite teachers this year which means I'm more motivated to do well + I have a lot of support from her. A lot of people complain about her teaching methods but they suit me well, so I'm thrilled.
Economics: My teacher is very passionate about eco + loves teaching it (and is v. good at teaching it too) so I'm in good hands, but oh boy is this looking like my hardest subject this year - the content is c r a z y
English Language: So you know how I loved it last year? ITS EVEN BETTER THIS YEAR!! My school has some sort of issue with getting and keeping English/Lit/Lang teachers, so we have yet another new teacher and he is honestly the most amazing englang teacher I could've asked for -- he knows what he is talking about, is enthusiastic about the subject w/o being over-the-top or boring, and is more than happy to give me extra work/tests/info/etc. I'm so excited for this year in englang
Mathematics: Exactly the same as 2017 (same teacher, classroom, textbook, schemes of work, legit everything) but I really enjoyed this subject last year so I'm glad - maths has been taught the same since year 5 too, so having a subject to keep me grounded is fabulous
In lieu of med, after having taken eco last year (bc of my maths tutor's suggestion and my desperation for any other subject), I'm leaning towards business in uni. I'd love to work in a medical tech/research company (I'm talking Intuitive Surgical kinda thing), so whether I take the science or business route, I'm not sure. I also love languages to the moon and back, so if I could do a double degree in science and arts (arts major being a language) I'd be thrilled.
This year I'm keeping up rowing, tennis, and volleyball (legend is if you listen close enough you can hear my parent's disappointment in me from where you are), and tutoring maths + working in an accounting firm. My plan of attack for year 12 is to keep myself so busy that when I get home I have no choice but to study, but also to keep my love for all of my subjects up so that they never become arduous to study for.
Bring it on, 2018.
