Hi rani_b! (This is actually my first time posting in a journal other than my own lol)

Fellow Methods struggler, let's go! Yeah, really close to my current view. At this point all the optimism in the world won't be enough for me to believe that I can pass my first SAC (it makes up 17% of total study score *shudders*).

I always feel guilty for not studying (or as well as I would've liked) on a weeknight too! (Today included...) You're by no means alone.

Ah, fellow UCAT-sitter! Nice to see someone else taking it too! And yes, visits to social media platforms always irritate me too, as I know that that Medical entry coach guy won't be too far away. So which courses are you most interested in at the moment? (sorry if this overwhelms you)

Anyways, enjoy your well-deserved break!  :)
Listens to K-Pop (Twice, Red Velvet, MAMAMOO) and Christmas music all year round.

Hey Rani!

I think you can take solace in the fact that A LOT of Year 12s are under the pump right now, so don't feel too worried about your Math worries at the moment, there's plenty of time and the exam is worth 66%, a lot more than your other subjects. Methods is definitely a worry for me too, especially with the supremely competitive environment (among other things) but all we can do is keep working hard. Considering your Psych result and your obvious work ethic, you should definitely have faith in your abilities!

Going to any of the ATARNotes lectures, or the meetup on Monday?
2018 - 2019 (VCE): English Language, Maths Methods, Legal Studies, Global Politics, Business Management (2018), Philosophy
2020 - 2024: Bachelor of Laws (Honours)/Bachelor of Commerce @ Monash University

Definitely get you with the VCE ads stuff. I especially disliked the ones that implied you'd fail without their help; everyone is stressed enough already, no need to further add on.

If there's too much of it on your social media you could try telling facebook etc not to show that type of ad to you. 


Doing year 12 is a different & more stressful experience than doing a headstart subject,  but you can take comfort in having proven your potential & knowing more about how to study/prepare. Holding yourself to a very high standard isn't a bad thing,  but remember that that's what you're doing & even not performing well relative to that standard is something to be proud of.


Please take some time to rest these holidays; you've earnt it and it will help you :)

Great to hear from you again! 

I'm glad you're happy with your recent SAC marks; it's  yet more proof to chuck at any voice in your head that tries to stress you out about results :)

I wish my english subject had an oral component to it (I like giving speeches) - is there a particular topic you're thinking of presenting on?

Hopefully your experiences with the chem poster SAC are better than for psysch!

I haven't given it a lot of thought, but I would be interested in doing something related to climate change/impact on youth/government (in)action - it's a topic that I want to be knowledgeable about anyways, so this will be a good opportunity to learn about it but also do my SAC at the same time.

Unsolicited advice: if doing climate change consider going from an economic, health or humanitarian point of view rather than environmental - your teachers will probably appreciate the difference. 

If you end up doing something in one of these spaces I'd love to see a draft especially since I'm also quite interested in them :)

Eeee! Good luck with your upcoming sacs, and most importantly your exam! I'm sure you'll smash it.
And missing the train sucks, especially when you are so close to reaching it! I remember last year I was running towards my train, and just as I was touching on my myki and running towards the train doors, the doors closed. What's even worse was the train driver had made eye-contact with me when I was running up the ramp and he knew I wouldn't make it. :'(

It's great you're feeling good about the majority of your subjects. And I get what you mean about methods, I'm lowkey dreading it next year.
