Term 3, Week 4 Update:hello girls, bois and gender beyond the binary!
I hope everyone's return back to online learning is a bit easier than last time. Tbh though, I really enjoy online learning, get to sleep in and don't have to deal with the noise of school.... and yeah that is all I got. This week I'm going to try and implement a daily schedule to see if that helps with my mental health (as my anxiety has been playing up as of late) and will continue my experiment to see if wearing my school uniform actually helps with retaining information. Now to the boring bit...
ENGLISH:still hate this subject... this is a short rant but I just hate the whole concept of this subject. Every little thing is over analysed and if you don't analyse it in the "right" way, you're basically going to get a bad mark. Or, so what my teacher has taught me. It feels as if you aren't able to actually express your own ideas and opinions on a novel or movie but rather you have to confine to what assessors and what your teachers
wantto see. It's honestly just a game. It also annoys me subjective the marking is and how 2 students could have the same ideas, same evidence and similar writing abilities and yet they won't get the same grade. It's infuriating argh.
METHODS:We had a test on domain, range and graphs and I think I actually went ok
fingers crossed I actually pass. Last term... yeah my grades won't good for this subject
*cough, cough* UG but I'm actually studying for this subject. It might not seem like an extensive achievement, but from going to just winging every maths test because I was so anxious and down that I couldn't even open the textbook to actually putting in effort, is pretty great. Apparently calculus is easy? not sure, but can't wait to start the topic
BIOLOGY:And yet again... another test on the same day as the methods one. The questions were repetitive but my teacher tried to calm me down on teams as I wasn't able to submit my test. Yeah... that was a fun 10mins. Really excited to go back to genetics and DNA
CHEMISTRY:guys.....
🎉I finally passed my first chem test!🎉I'm so stoked! just need to remember to add the catalysts within the chemical equations
but after passing, I feel so much more motivation and a returned love for the subject.
PSYCH:I have my second last SAC tomorrow as I wasn't able to complete last week as I was quite sick but... it's just freaking me out. It's an analytical styled SAC and the 10 marker is terrifying. Just praying for an 80 at least. Otherwise, psych has been great! Our teacher also brought in her new dog to the last day of face-to-face learning and ahhh he is so ADORABLE.
HHD:last but not least, good ol' health and human. All we have been doing this week is working on our "out of home" assignment (where basically we have to plan out how we are to survive if we were kicked out at 18). It's actually so much fun except when I kept getting random calls. Turns out, a bunch of health insurance companies were trying to reach out to me and it's so awkward to just say, "yeah... funny story, I was using your service for a school assignment.". At least the guy Tom on the other line was friendly and helped me out with some of it hehe
Have an amazing week everyone
