Hey everyone! I’m in year 11 this year and thought it might be a nice idea to start a vce journal to track my progress and stuff. It’s so hard to believe I’m an actual vce student already. I’m pretty nervous about exams and sacs but also looking forward to seeing how I perform.
So on to subjects. I had originally planned to take physics and a lote as my ¾s instead of psych. But then I decided that I wanted to do medicine (and also found physics pretty hard) so I changed my mind. Since that happened after subject selections were over, it was hard for me to change subjects. I somehow managed to change to ¾ psych and ½ bio, which I am so happy about.
If you told my past self about my current subjects, she’d probably laugh at you and say something along the lines of “there’s no way I dropped physics for psych. And only one ¾ instead of two?!”
Psych was a kind of last minute decision. I knew I wanted to drop physics and a lote for bio but I wasn’t sure about the other one. One of my friends had chosen psych and she was telling me how good it would be so I took a look at the textbook. I found it surprisingly interesting and thought I could even apply a lot of that knowledge to my own life. So I took the plunge and applied for a change to it.
I’ve always liked maths but haven’t been the best at it. Like I’m not bad at it but I feel like it doesn’t come as naturally to me as other people. Nevertheless, I chose spesh because I think it’ll be really fun.
Chem and methods are prerequisites for a lot of medical courses so I had to take it. I would have done it anyway though since I love maths and science.
And finally, eng lang. I absolutely loathe writing essays about novels and movies. So naturally, eng lang was the only option for me. And I’ve always liked linguistics as well!
There’s more I want to write about but I don’t want my posts to be long and boring so I’ll incorporate little bits of it throughout the year. I also realise that I might not sound very cheerful here, but in real life, I’m actually quite loud and lively.
I think I’ll try to update every week or so but it really depends on my mood.
Good luck to all the other vce students here! And thanks for reading this
