Hi Lexie,
Thanks for the offer and the warm welcome!!
Cheers!

On another note...
Being in lockdown for another six weeks, however necessary is undeniably annoying  :'( but it will save lives. I've had to do a Mathspace test for general maths and while I don't mind the content, the tests are so bad! The one we did was hardly related to what we learnt in the textbooks, gah! At least it wasn't our SAC thank goodness! I would let my teacher know but really what can you do, plus I don't want to be annoying as I've already emailed him about 3 times!

Cheers,
Logan

Hi log! Your photos are AMAZING. Seriously. Have you submitted them to NASA competitions? Have you thought about a career in space? I'm excited to read more in this journal  :D

Update:
Umm...not much going on. Online is so boring, holey moley. It's as if the work you DONT want to do, becomes way more boring.

Also I dropped bio about a day or two before school closed...not sure if I'm supposed to continue it for now? Apparently they haven't made the change yet because the system can only be changed at school(???) but oh well. Electives feel way more useless too seeing they would normally just be a way to pass time. Furthermore, our science teacher yelled at us (virtually lol,let's just of the class hates him  :-[ ) for not following the school timetable at home, personally I would much rather do a subject a day.
And thats all for now. Lots of silly small stuff.
Cheers,
Logan

Thanks! Honestly, a career in space sounds pretty cool but in terms of jobs and practical skills it doesn't seem that useful unfortunately. The closest thing I can imagine is Aerospace eng, but even that seems a tad limiting in aus at least.

Hi Doc,
I'm sooo bored doing online work. I hate it so much tbh, I would much rather be in person learning. I did just get a 100% on my general sac though! That's pretty awesome at least.

Hey Log!  :)
Congratulations on your general SAC results! What makes you dislike remote learning as opposed to face to face learning?

Congrats!

My typical response to boredom in hs in general was to try seeking out extension work that kept me more engaged - idk if that's something your teachers would be open to & would work for you

Thanks guys!
Thinking about careers. I was given some pointers by people I know that work in IT - They said I might be interested in data science, or maybe even a double degree in CS/Engineering. It sounds pretty interesting to me honestly, but i definitely want to do something in engineering I think.
Thoughts anyone?

Engineerings a great field, I know that software engineers are in demand (but so are a bunch of other specialisations as well), and given that you love maths and physics it seems like a perfect fit. In a  lot of universities, they have the first year of the engineering degree for students to explore the various specialities in engineering, so that's a great option if you know you wanna do engineering but don't know what 'type'. If your interested about a particular speciality in engineering and wanna know about what they teach in a course check out the 'course handbook' for universities and see if the content they teach interests you (ofc you have plenty of time for that).

Engineering seems really cool! Are you thinking of specialisations yet?

Howdy,
Literally nothing has happened in recent times   ;D (oh wow, wonder if there might be some catastrophic external factor contributing?) [I definitely haven't gone insane] just had a question regarding how spesh usually works, especially with very small classroom sizes? My teacher currently says that the classes usually are either split between schools, or we sit into a year 12 class. Anyone able to chip in if they attend a similarly small spesh class? Cheers

P.S - Sooooo looking forward to IRL class, but worried about the currently rising case numbers...

Hey log!
With regard to small classes, I got to a pretty small private school (80ish per year level), so I can hopefully give you a little bit of insight. While we have separate spesh classes (it's pretty popular at my school), there are a couple of subjects that have year 11/12 classes. For example, our German 1/2 and 3/4 classes sit in together. They learn mostly at the year 12 level however sometimes they have separate lessons (if that makes sense). I would assume that if you sit in with the year 12 class, you would learn concepts covered in year 11 spesh at a year 12 level and possible skim over some concepts not completely relevant to 3/4 (some schools do this). However, there may be times where one class is just doing work and another is learning, and of course, you get different assessments :)
I hope this helped!

Thanks Eloise! Its good to hear that :)

Thinking recently: Aside from the 1 or maybe 2 practice exams set for a SAC, how on earth do you study for them without dipping into VCAA exams and the like?

Also thinking, apart from VCAA/NHT exams, what other good exam practices are there? I'm probably going to get myself an A+ notes exam book as well. Ps. good luck to all the year 12s!!!

Hey |log|!

That's a really great mark! It is annoying when you lose silly marks like that but it is still an amazing mark ;)

Goodluck with the rest of your exams
