It doesn't really feel like it but I am slowly realising we are now in the thick of Term 1.
I've had quite the eventful week this week - full of ups and downs. Mainly, because I got really ill with gastro. I actually stayed home for a good part of the week.
Before that though, I was able to visit my work placement for VET! It was a lot more intense than I expected, and to be honest I felt a little nervous.
I'm sure that will settle after a few weeks, so I've decided to just take it as it comes for now.
After the gastro, we had our school swimming carnival. We had a clean sweep and it was a fantastic last event for my team. I cheered more than I ever had bothered to, and participated in events I never thought I would. It's cliche, but I wish I had spent my previous years like they were my last as well. But I guess that's the point of making the most of the last one anyway.
My psychology SAC is slowly creeping closer, but I'm quite content with my preparation for that. On the other hand, I heard we are doing a chemistry prac on Monday and the write-up later on - which, apparently, is a SAC task. I'm not entirely sure my sources are accurate though. Surely a SAC wouldn't be sprung on us the week before, right? And surely not a Prac SAC, which is what I am the most worried about in the whole course?
When I caught up with my teacher after being sick, he didn't mention it... fingers crossed that it isn't true.
I've finally caught up with my overdues - so now I'm only three weeks until finishing notetaking for 3/4 Psychology. Then I'll begin doing questions, practice exams, making summary sheets... all of those things which actually make you learn the content. On the other hand, I only just reached Unit 4 in Chem. It'll take me a bit longer to finish notes for that.
For methods, I've decided to spend half an hour a night doing textbook questions. I don't know if it will work but I've barely done any so far, so I better implement some way of adding it to my schedule. It might be a bit ambitious (I'm horrible at "daily" tasks), but I'll adjust it as I go.
English Language seems to be going nowhere. I don't actually know what I'm learning at the moment, so I think I ought to begin scheduling for English next. Notetaking (according to the study design, which will hopefully help with the "I don't know what I'm learning"), and especially a schedule for writing practice analytical commentaries/expository essays. Despite it all, I'm faring well at the moment, though, so hopefully I can hold off on that for a little longer.
This coming weekend I am going to some free TSFX lectures for chemistry, psychology, methods and UMAT. It is free, for anyone who is interested!
Best of luck to everyone and have a good week!
